Huge, Enchanting, Intriguing and Fun
It felt like ever since 97 Ive heard nothing but how great Final Fantasy VII is, and why its such an amazing game and everyone should play it. Naturally, Ive always been hesitant to play it out of fear that the hype for the game would lead me to an ultimately disappointing experience, but now, in my 21st year, Ive finally had the chance to experience this game. Despite its aged appearance and some rather archaic design choices, Im still very impressed by this game and would certainly recommend it to fans of the RPG genre or those simply interested in a good story. It may not be the greatest game of all time or anything so bold, but its nothing short of a triumph, and perhaps even a masterpiece.
The game runs very well on my iPod Touch 6, with no crashes or slowdown of any kind, the music comes through clearly, and the environments ooze of wonder and detail.
One complaint I do have is that movement control feels somewhat slippery, but it still serves its purpose well enough I suppose.
Another boom of the game is the iCloud save feature, allowing you to easily and quickly share your save across all of your iOS devices, which has been nice when I want to continue my adventure from my iPod touch with a larger screen on my iPad.
From what Ive gathered, this is a very faithful port of the original game on the PlayStation, as Ive been playing through that version of the game alongside this one for the sake of comparison. The only alteration in terms of content that Ive noticed is that some of Barrets more harsh vocabulary has been censored, but I dont think it takes anything a way from his character or the core values of the experience. All things considered, I think this is a wonderful purchase for both newcomers and those who played his game as children with an original dual shock. If you have the $16 to spare, there are fare worse ways to spend it.
