Truly one of the great epic RPGs, Final Fantasy VII set standards -- not only for RPGs, but for all games -- showing us just how captivating and awe-inspiring a game really can be. There was nothing like it, and to this day, there is very little that can compare. For those who have not experienced the epic story of Cloud and his friends, I can't stress enough how much this game is worth picking up, even if it is only to have it in your collection.
