I
love Final Fantasy games. I can't beat them but I love them and at E3
this year Square Enix finally announced they were re-making Final
Fantasy VII. FF7 was the first RPG I ever played, it was my
introduction to the idea that computer games could have not just a
premise but a story. I'm not sure I remember how far I got, probably
not far into the second disc, but I remember the story absolutely
blowing me away.
Just
that there was a character who was there to drive the plot by dying,
a character you go to know
through action and dialogue so you felt it when she died, was amazing
to me then. These days, of course, that's so basic as to be beneath
discussion in many ways.
Still,
since then I've got (slightly) better at games, a lot better at
understanding stories and, most important of all, a lot more patient.
Square
Enix announced the remake only a few weeks ago so I've probably got a
couple of years to replay the original before they actually release
it. I'm a very different person from the one kid who first sat down
to play this game. I'm pretty sure I still have my copy and I still
have my PS2 so this should be fun.
