Playing Final Fantasy 7 For The First Time (Original PS Hardware)

I’ve spent years playing modern RPGs, but I’ve never touched the original 1997 Final Fantasy VII. Today, we're fixing that. No emulators, no remasters—just original PlayStation hardware, and the game that changed everything. Will the blocky polygons and old-school ATB combat hold up in 2026? Watch as I experience Cloud, Aerith, and Midgar completely blind for the very first time. Let me know in the chat: what was your favorite memory from your first playthrough?
