Final Fantasy VII originally debuted in 1997 on the PlayStation. The game followed Cloud Strife and his party as they fought against an organization known as Shinra and a man called Sephiroth, who plots to become a god.
The gameplay was typical fair for Japanese role-playing games. Final Fantasy VII used the “Active Time Battle” system. The system would have the player’s party fill up a character gauge, which would then allow them to act. Different characters had different commands. You could attack with a weapon, cast magic, use items, perform a summoning, and other actions. There was also a special gauge that could be filled to allow characters to perform Limit Breaks.
What do you make of this trailer? Are you interested in picking up the Final Fantasy VII remake?
