Final Fantasy VII PS1 Review

Dive deep into the legendary Final Fantasy VII on the original PlayStation (PS1) in this honest 2026 retro review! Nearly 30 years after its 1997 release, does FF7 still hold up against the Remake trilogy (Remake, Rebirth, and beyond)? From Cloud Strife's iconic journey and Sephiroth's chilling presence to the groundbreaking Materia system, turn-based combat, epic summons, and that unforgettable soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu, this review covers everything you need to know. Whether you're a longtime fan revisiting Midgar, a newcomer curious after playing Rebirth on modern platforms, or just wondering if the PS1 classic is worth your time in 2026 (with its blocky polygons, random encounters, and long load times), I break it all down: strengths, flaws and all. ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ Want to keep in touch?
