One of the things that I have learned being a gamer since the days of the original, 'Sega Masters System' is that there are always newer video games that in a lot of cases generally out class their predecessors... Trust me when I say that admitting that was not easy...

But I will say this, and that is, that the classics never die... I mean sure they were once the extremely hot item, but if you were in to say video games on the, 'Nintendo 64'... Then if you still have them, blow off the dust and give them a try... I doubt you will regret it!

Now you might be wondering why I mention this... Well simply put, there is a classic game that I had the luck to have been able to play it when it first came out, and a few more times since then, and I have to admit that I still freaking love this game... That game being Final Fantasy VII (1997)!

Now this game, which was released by Square Enix in 1997, and which was the first, 'Final Fantasy' game that was released in the United States that had not been released on to a, 'Nintendo' system, but had actually been released on Sony's, 'Playstation' had actually originally been intended for the Super Nintendo, when development of the game had started back in 1994!

That's right folks, it looks like this game had originally been intended for the, 'Super Nintendo', and had later been moved to the, 'Nintendo 64'... But with that video game system still using, 'Cartridge' based games, Square Enix ended up moving it over to the, 'Playstation'!

And well, even though the tradition was broken with this one, the game itself was truly a landmark game... I mean this game was so good that the soundtrack to it had been re-released as a music album, the graphics were light years ahead of most games up to this point,  and the controls were easy as hell, and you know what else... All of that and so much more is what made (and in my opinion), still makes this video game to be one of the better ones to have ever been released!

In the end, if you like RPGs, then I think you will really like this one, it is an extremely engrossing and fun quest... But I got to warn you, if you do play, play on a weekend... This game will certainly help you to loose track of time!
