No one's mentioned
Final Fantasy Tactics, has anyone played it and if so was it any good? This was a big missed opportunity for me (it wasn't released in Australia) as I always preferred that battle system having been a fan of the Shining Force series. Every now and again I think about picking up a PS1 or 2 now they are so much cheaper and FFT would be one of the biggest reasons why.
I loved FF7 though funnily enough I've never played any of the games afterwards (I think I had played some of the earlier ones but I might be confusing rpgs), after the PS1 my next console was the xbox which although its a great console, was a mistake for me. Alot of the games I've wanted over the years have been PS only.
Vincent was definitely a favourite character, was there a point at which you couldn't get him to join the party? I seem to remember having to restart the game, cursing all the while that he had better be worth it, his limit breaks alone meant that of course he was. I never played with Red XIII only because before I started playing FF7 I had spent lots of time watching a friend play it, Red XIII was his favourite and so I wanted to see different characters.
If we're being careful of spoilers I'll just say that
that part annoyed the hell out of me at the time, an early favourite and I never saw it coming at all. Brilliant for the storyline and personally it's gotta be up there as one of the best moments in gaming.
I'm almost sure the first time I fought one of the final battles it ended in one turn! I'm not sure if it was Sephiroth or Jenova but without meaning to I entered the fight with Cloud maxed out for his last limit break which I had just gained, everything seemed to click and that was pretty much that. Was a bit disapointing so I went back and did it all again.
The graphics at the time were simply amazing and it was such a huge risk trying to match all 3? versions of the characters (battle / town exploration / cut scenes?) and not just have people be able to recognise each one but be able to feel for the characters and story as a whole. That for me was probably their biggest achievement.
I wonder how many years have been spent worldwide trying to breed the perfect chocobo
