Final Fantasy VII is a role-playing video game that was developed by Square in 1997 for the PlayStation console. It's actually the seventh main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The game follows the story of Cloud Strife, a mercenary who joins an eco-terrorist group to stop a megacorporation from using the planet's life essence as an energy source. Along the way, Cloud and his friends go after Sephiroth, a superhuman who wants to use the planet's power to become a demigod.
The game was originally meant for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but due to delays and technical issues, it was moved to the PlayStation. The development team was made up of over 100 people and had a budget of around US$80 million. Final Fantasy VII was the first in the series to use full motion video and 3D computer graphics, which made it a groundbreaking game of its time.
Final Fantasy VII was a huge commercial and critical success and is still considered one of the greatest video games ever made. It won multiple Game of the Year awards and boosted the sales of the PlayStation console. The game's success has led to enhanced ports on various platforms and a multimedia subseries called the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. A high definition remake trilogy was also released, with the first installment coming out in 2020.
