In my opinion, Final Fantasy did something that no other game has ever done in the history of videogaming. It was the doorway for thousands of gamers into the realm of RPGs.

At first, I was disappointed that FF7 appealed to the masses. I thought that they would change or simplify the story so that their sales would increase. In essence, I thought they sold out. But, in fact, I was wrong. Final Fantasy did a great job appealing to a large audience and maintaining a story and cast of characters that any RPGer would find great.

Final Fantasy VII has everything. Perhaps it's biggest appeal is the fact that it's just a very fun game. It's great. I remember thinking just how fun it was while playing it. When I first put it in my Playstation, I knew that this game had more than lived up to the hype.

Final Fantasy VII captured my emotions at times and it made me gasp in surprise as well. The characters were fun and exciting to control, the story was dark and captivating and the music still brings back great memories.

The greatest thing about Final Fantasy VII (besides Cid) is the villain. Sephiroth is perhaps the most evil and dark villain ever. Most of all, Sephiroth was just plain cool. Just think about all those 15 year old kids out there that were obsessed with killing the evil Sephiroth is enough proof for me that the game is great.

When it comes down to it, Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game ever, hands down. It's fun and more touching that Final Fantasy VIII and I have no doubts in my mind by naming it the best game ever.
