I'm going to play FFVII until I can't put up with it anymore (or until I realize no one is reading this).
But first let's see what Wikipedia has to say about it.
Thanks Wikipedia.

Well let's get to it then.

the cloud saving might cause a problem but I haven't found anything conclusive about it
But first let's see what Wikipedia has to say about it.
Wikipedia wrote:Final Fantasy VII (ファイナルファンタジーVII?) is a role-playing video game developed by Square (now Square Enix) as the seventh installment in the Final Fantasy series. It was released in 1997 for the Sony PlayStation, in 1998 for Microsoft Windows-based personal computers and in 2009 on the PlayStation Network. The game is the first in the series to use 3D computer graphics, featuring fully rendered characters on pre-rendered backgrounds, and was the first game in the main series to be released in Europe.
Final Fantasy VII follows protagonist Cloud Strife, who initially joins the eco-terrorist rebel organization AVALANCHE to stop the world-controlling megacorporation Shinra, who are draining the life of the planet for use as an energy source. As the story progresses, Cloud and his allies become involved in a larger world-threatening conflict, facing off against Sephiroth, the game's main antagonist.
Development of Final Fantasy VII began in 1994. The game was originally intended for release on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but was moved to the Nintendo 64. However, since the Nintendo 64's cartridges lacked the required storage capacity, Square decided to release the game for the CD-ROM based PlayStation instead. The game was designed and produced by Hironobu Sakaguchi, with direction by Yoshinori Kitase. The music was composed by Final Fantasy veteran Nobuo Uematsu, while the series' long-time character designer, Yoshitaka Amano, was replaced by Tetsuya Nomura.
Helped by a large pre-release promotional campaign, Final Fantasy VII became an immediate critical and commercial success. It has continued to sell solidly—10 million copies were sold by May 2010, making it the best-selling title in the series. Final Fantasy VII was praised for its graphics, gameplay, music and story. Criticism primarily pertained to its English localization. It has retrospectively been acknowledged as the game that popularized the Japanese role-playing video game style outside of its home market, and has frequently ranked highly on various top game lists. The popularity of the title led Square Enix to produce a series of prequels and sequels for different platforms under the collective title Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.

This panning star scene goes on for way too long
And you're suddenly greeted by this face.
The cutscenes do not look as bad as they could have, even at higher resolutions.
The zoom out still looks kinda cool.
In case you weren't aware I'm playing Final Fantasy VII.
Cutscene....
Actual game. The backgrounds look real bad at 1650 x 1080.
The security in this place is... lacking.
'kay.
But first, let's loot. I really hope nothing attacks us when we go for the other one....
Uh oh!
Good thing they're chumps.
I like to imagine he's twirling that blade without any sort of emotion. Also, man, he must have really strong wrists.
More corpse loot. Who doesn't love corpse loot?
What are these dudes up to I wonder?
Hahaha.... Holy shit those names are awful.
Jessie: "SOLDIER? Aren't they the enemy? What's he doing with us in AVALANCHE?"
Biggs: "He WAS in SOLDIER, Jessie. But He quit and is with us now." The writing is not very good.
Biggs: "I didn't catch you name..."
He didn't catch his name.
What even is his name?
Also what's Barret's name? Because it obviously ain't Barret.{/spoiler]
Gun Hand guy is Gary
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
and name him Gary

Neal: "I don't care what your names are. Once this job is over... I'm out of here." Jerk.
"Our target is the North Mako Reactor. We'll meet on the bridge in front of it."
Everyone but Gary scurries off.
"I still don't trust ya!"
Uh, thanks, Gary.
This place doesn't seem very safe.
Neal: "No, After all, I did work for Shinra, y'know." Uh, that doesn't necessarily mean you've been to a reactor, pal. Oh well, Gary wasn't listening, anyways.
Gary: "The planet's full of Mako energy. People use it everyday. It's the life blood of this planet. But Shinra keeps suckin' the blood out with these weird machines." Gary doesn't understand technology.
Um, I've played this game before. I'm pretty sure the entirety of AVALANCHE is made up of four or five people.
I bet this elevator ride is really awkward for Jessie
Neal: "It's not my problem."
Gary: "The planet's dyin', Neal!"
Neal: "The only thing I care about is finishin' this job before security and the Roboguards get here."
Wait whoa hold on, did they always have mouths?
Holy shit she was right!
Oh boy oh boy a save point a save po-
Fuck!
This place is an OSHA violation waiting to happen.
Neal: "Shouldn't you do it?" Neal's a jerk.
Gary: "Just do it! I gotta watch to make sure you don't pull nothin'." Why was he even brought along?
Neal does it, but not before tripping some balls.
This isn't just a reactor!!
Neal: "Huh?"
Gary: "What wrong, Neal? Hurry it up!"
Neal: "...Yeah, sorry." Don't worry Neal it was probably nothing, right? Ha ha.
Neal plants the bomb which causes alarms to go off, alerting the CTs. And then a boss appears just off camera.
This boss has one of those 'don't attack it at certain times or it'll counter attack' gimmicks but it doesn't really come up because I'm not dumb.
We only have 10 minutes to escape so we should skedaddle. Will I make it in time???
Yes.
Woo...
Jessie blows a way out because part of the plan involved getting trapped in a tunnel???
Alright time to explore and flirt awkwardly with a flower girl.
Neal: "Nothing... Hey... Don't see many flowers around here."
Flower Girl: "Oh you like them?" They're only one gil."
Of course we buy one.
Oh shit, the cops!
We fight as many as we can because who would say no to xp. Eventually, though, we're surrounded. It's ok, though, because Neal is a badass
Neal: "I don't have time to mess around with you guys." So cool!
The game tries so hard to be cool.
So. Fucking. Cool.
Into the train proper.
Jessie gives us a boring lesson about Midgar, but I'll just give you the cliff notes. It is big. There are 8 sections to Midgar, like a pizza. Each section has a reactor and a giant pillar that holds up the top plate where the rich people live. Also the trains have security checkpoints but we have fake IDs so I don't even know why she mentioned it. Weird.
Gary actually calls the top plate a pizza. He hates the pizza.
Gary: "This mission was a success. But don't get lazy now. The hard part's still to come. Don't ya'll be scared of that explosion. Cause the next one is gonna be bigger then that! Meet back at the hideout!! Move out!"
Why is he the leader again?
After looking around a bit we head for the hideout, a dive bar call Seventh Heaven. Which is actually a great name for a bar.
Fuck Gary!
Who are you anyways?
or red
i mean that's not for hours and hours but still.
Name them all Gary
they're all terrorists
also that is a TON of pictures
tumblr | instagram | twitter | steam
Yup.
Also, Nanaki for best character in the game.
lana
Or Piggy?
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Oh man bifa or Lana yes
hey look its the neal thread (you beat me to quoting this picture)
My initial reaction was to go Heisenberg on you and tell you to STAY OUT OF MY TERRITORY but no, I think it is time to pass on the torch.
My only condition is that you name Cid after me.
Yuffie would be Piggy.
And after a fashion, I am correct
Call her Lemon.
