Pure Angelic Magnificence!

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 20 August 2022 09:54

Final Fantasy VII is the best game ever made and puts everything else to shame. It tells a wonderfully engrossing story that keeps you guessing and surprised. The battle system and "Materia" system is ingenious and is not for the impatient or non-experienced video gamer. The challenge in the concept of this marvel is simply beyond the beyond. Extra quests and activities prove this game has depth. The music is fantastic! It keeps the flow of the emotion in the story move in a centrepetal, dramatic pace. The fact that this game lasts 100 hrs. makes all the better excuse for you to experience two or three times to go back and get things you missed. The game has an enigmatic way of of making you addicted to it forever............ in your heart

Final Fantasy VII review

Posted : 2 years ago on 4 March 2022 11:58

Final Fantasy 7 é uma sequela independente criada pela square enix e basicamente é o final fantasy mais popular de todos, não só por possuir personagens bem caracterizados como por possuir um mundo que mescla fantasia e ficção científica, para sua construção de mundo é boa, e possui implicações interessantes como uma mega empresa metacapitalista dominando e subjugando toda a raça humana ao mesmo tempo que temos uma raça alien e um ser super poderoso, um cenário distópico bem diferente de todos os final fantasy até aqui. Não é totalmente sci fi já que tem elementos mágicos, gostei que aqui o vilão tem uma motivação real em vez de ter sido possuído por algum demônio ou criatura maligna e é baseado em um ressentimento ao acreditar que sua raça foi traída pelos humanos provocando uma vingança que levaria toda a história a um rumo mais interessante, tanto Sephiroth como Cloud são personagens bem justificados e interessantes, geralmente detesto tramas com amnésia porque tiram toda a caracterização do personagem reduzindo-o a um saco vazio carente de personalidade, Cloud por outro lado tem personalidade e todo seu drama gira em torno de estar com as memórias e personalidade de seu parceiro Zack Fair carregando consigo as mágoas e frustrações de sua antiga personalidade.

As organizações em Final Fantasy 7 são bastante interessantes, Shinra por exemplo é uma Nerv da vida que tem planos secretos, projetos e está por trás de diversos crimes e por raptar a alma de várias pessoas, basicamente sendo governada por Elon Musk e Bill Ga... Outro grupo interessante é Avalanche o grupo dos protagonistas que está cheio de personagens interessantes mas não tão bem explorados como o protagonista, sendo eco-terroristas a história tenta dar ares mais cinzentos ao conflito já que a avalanche tem ideias a lá Ted Kaczynsky e serve para reforçar a mensagem ecológica do jogo, porque afinal Final Fantasy 7 é sobre isso, ecologia mesclados com temas interessantes sobre a identidade, , racialismo, futurismo e etc, mensagem da qual não sou contra já que nosso mundo está caminhando a passos largos para o mesmo cenário da história.

O filme Advent Children só pode ser visto por quem jogou ou sabe da história previamente, como obra isolada seria injusto critica-la e seria o mesmo que criticar the end of evangelion isolado do anime, em advent Children Cloud é mais quieto e menos ativo sendo mais uma ferramenta, Sephiroth retorna em outro personagem. O filme não é grande coisa, possui um cgi que reluz bonito e bem renderizado ao mesmo tempo que os personagens ainda possuem um rosto de boneco, as coreografias das lutas são excelentes e o design é badass ao invéz de poligonal e cartoon. Tirando detalhes técnicos é mais um filme para concluir e encerrar o arco de Cloud que finalmente aceita sua personalidade mais introvertida e claro para finalizar Sephirot e os outros personagens, é divertido mas não o suficiente para dar uma nota maior que 7/10, quanto ao jogo é facilmente um 8/10 e sem dúvidas o melhor que a franquia já produziu.

Final Fantasy VII review

Posted : 12 years, 2 months ago on 13 January 2012 07:46

Just like with Metal Gear: Solid, it's hard to describe a game that has such a legendary reputation. It's a great game, and if you haven't played it, you really should. It seems like I keep ranking this game lower and lower the more I think about it, and I'm not sure exactly why. It's a game that I've sunk 70+ hours into, easily. I have a lot of memories attached to this one game. But I guess I just expect more from games today. It might be unfair to judge this game by modern standards, but I guess that just means it isn't aging very well. And it just seems especially weird to have a silent protagonist, because he just comes across a bit like Gordon Freeman. Some kind of weird, socially maladjusted, emotionally vacant shell of an almost-person. The story grows from a small-scale to an epic world-saving scenario, and is engaging throughout.

Final Fantasy 7

About The Game:
The first Final Fantasy for playstation, A great epic game that is still a hit now, and also has mini games about it, a movie, and more games of the different characters. Anyway the game starts with a overview with Midgar (Starting Town Area). After all that a train stops and a couple of people jump out of the train and hit the guards and run. One of the people that was with them was Cloud (Main Hero of the Game), Biggs, Wedge, (So this is were they were vanshed to from FF6) Jessie, and Barret (Barret will later on join your group. They were all there is destroy Shinra's bases to make Midgar better then what it is.
But Midgar is not the main problem of the game, the main problem is Sephiroth, an X-Soldier and also the best, he when crazy one day after he was his mother (Jenova) inside a testing tube. So now Cloud is on this big ass quest to fine this guy and kill him before he goes crazy to destroy the world.

Graphs:
The graphs really have improved since FF3/6 (Final Fantasy 3 or 6). They really got the 3d better and people say its the best game ever, and they still do now.

Music:
The music is a lot better but I would still liked if Shadow's Theme was in this one, but they did have one song that was a real catchy tune, and that was the Turks Theme. Everytime Reno, Rude, or Rufus came in, you would hear it.

What I liked:
My Favorite would have to been Reno & Rude, no matter how many times I fought them, them always had something up there sleve, but at the end they would always run away. And that Turk Theme, man... thats awesome. I know Reno's out there drinking a cold one at some bar, getting in shit for not winning every battle with you.

What I hated:
Sephiroth.... you bastard!, your the same as Kefka, but at least Kefka's not a Mommy's boy & doesn't talk to a dead person. I will give you 3 things I have about this ass, even tho, he is pretty cool.
1. Ok, Sephiroth are you crazy or what, why are you always talking about your Mother, thats all I ever hear from him. Sephiroth stop being a damn Mommy's boy.
2. Sephiroth you backstabber, I mean serious, why the hell would jump out of no where and backstab someone with a 8-10 foot blade. I understand Assasins but your a *@$&&*% Soldier (Didn't want to say the word cause little people may be reading) why the hell did you do that for. I will shove Sephiroth's face into dog shit.
3. ok the top one... Being a mommy's boy was retarded but talking to a dead mother, is just pass the limits and also thinking your hearing your mother's voice. God should come down here and B#$%@ Slap you!

And yea thats about it, over all it was a long game but a very fun one, with a sercet chatracter Vincent. over all its 10/10 for me, my next review should be about FF8, see you there!

Anyone with a soul and an attention span would agree that this is the best RPG ever made and possibly one of the greatest video games of all time.

There are too many w*nkers on my side when I say this game is momentous. It's story and scale could never be replicated again. Square can keep churning out new titles and spin-off sequels but they will never capture this greatness again.

We take on the role of an Ex-SOLDIER whose life has brought him against his former employers and is now in a fight for the very life of the planet he lives on. At first you think this greedy corporation, the Shin-ra, is all you have to worry about but there is a greater enemy and more iconic than any other video game villain waiting to take the reigns as this adventure takes you on a whilwind journey of everest heights and oceanous depths.

If you love to sit down and play a game for hours on end, then this is a title I highly recommend.

Great game!

This is one of the classic RPGs for the Playstation. Fascinating character development and an intricate, compelling storyline make for a really well-constructed game. The graphics are somewhat lacking, but considering this was one of the early PSX games, they're a huge leap compared to previous systems like the SNES. The materia system is detailed but easy to master, although it can become a bit tedious to adjust the combinations every time you receive a new one. Overall, definitely worth playing for any RPG fan.
