Final Fantasy VII was the greatest game of all time. The characters each played their part in the game flawlessly, and the storyline was full of suspense, horror, action, and romance. The materia system worked very well, and Sephiroth was a kick-ash villan.
They also explained what magic was in the game, which was very important. Hojo described it as 'scientific manipulation of the elements' which could be manifested through the materia. The materia comes from mako, and mako was the source of life for the planet. Which meant that magic came from the planet(the humans) and magic drained away the humans life-force(but to an extremely small extent).
Theres nothing that I hate more, than to see games where the characters use magic and there is not explanation to where it came from, like its just another disposable element of combat. But FFVII gave a logical explanation.
I can't wait to see FFVII-AC!! It will answer so many questions I have to the game.
Aerith all the way!!!!!
