in three days, we'll be 15 years beyond the official U.S. release date of Final Fantasy VII.

Rather than simply tell you what we think, we've asked Final Fantasy VII fans and detractors alike for their thoughts on the game. What makes it great? What makes it imperfect? Does it deserve its legacy? Read on....

Aujang Abadi: Final Fantasy VII wasn't really a game of "firsts." None of its individual elements were new to the series. FFVII's "first" was its unprecedented combination of all of those individual pieces in a stunning 3D world. Calling its release revolutionary feels like an understatement. When FFVII launched, it didn't just change the playing field; it created an entirely new field to play on.

It had mind-blowing FMV that made its world come alive, and used them to deliver the biggest emotional suckerpunch in the history of RPGs.
