Screen Rant 2s5h6u Final Fantasy 7 The seventh flagship title in the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy 7 was the first title in the franchise to make the jump to 3D and was one of the most successful entries overall. Players assume the role of Cloud Strife, an ex-SOLDIER (a member of an elite military unit) of Shinra, who now lives the life of a mercenary in the slums of Midgar. However, what follows leads Cloud and friends down a massive journey that will pit them against the most powerful SOLDIER, Sephiroth. Sephiroth holds the key to Cloud's memories and the world's destruction, and Cloud and his team are the only ones who can stop him. Final Fantasy 7 was followed up with a part remake/part sequel in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which manages to both retell critical moments of the original story while providing a full sequel to the events of this original title.

Final Fantasy 7is easily one of my favorite RPGs, but that doesn't mean that every second of the game is perfect. WhileFF7's capacity to reinvent itself at every turn tends to stop it from ever dragging, virtually any game of its scope is going to be a little uneven, and it's no exception. My biggest qualms tend to emerge fairly late in the experience, and with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 on the way, it could finally have the opportunity to buff up the most repetitive elements. t6tb

Even if part three of the Final Fantasy 7remake trilogy doesn't change much from FF7 Rebirth, it will still likely be an incredible game. I have no major criticisms of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and simply getting fresh content made in the same style would not be a bad thing. With that said, there are definitely some minor improvements that could be made in the final part of the trilogy to create an absolutely flawless experience immune to even the nitpickiest of critiques.

Final Fantasy 7's romance options are one of the most well-known aspects of the game. By the nature of being such an iconic game, there were certain things I knew about FF7 before I ever played it for myself. Aside from knowing who Sephiroth was and Aerith's fate at the Temple of the Ancients, I knew that the game involved a love triangle between Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa. Love triangles always tend to be popular talking points among fans, so I didn't really think much of it until I became more familiar with the Final Fantasy series at large.

Final Fantasy 7 is one of the greatest games ever made, and that is thanks, in large part, to the incredible narrative decisions made by its director, Yoshinori Kitase, and co-writer, Tetsuya Nomura. These not only shaped the narrative but also gave birth to some of the most unique and beloved gaming heroes ever created. Final Fantasy 7 has stood the test of time as a result of these decisions and has even led to an incredibly successful and critically acclaimed trilogy that more or less respects them.

Long before the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, veteran Final Fantasy characterdesigner Tetsuya Nomura weighed in on the Cloud-Aerith-Tifa love triangle, and he had an excellent point.The debate over who makes the best partner for Cloud - either the crunchy-granola, happy-go-lucky Aerith or the hard-working, down-to-earth Tifa - has raged on for literal decades. FF7 Rebirth's changes to the Gold Saucer romance scenes, along with its more in-depth approval and relationship systems, hasn't helped the situation. Today, as almost thirty years ago, people still argue over FF7's love triangle.

Few video games have left an impact as massive as Final Fantasy VII. With its gripping story, memorable characters, and expansive world, it set the standard for RPG storytelling. Given its influence, one would think that Square Enix would have fully capitalized on bringing its universe to the anime medium. However, after a single attempt with Last Order: Final Fantasy VII, the franchise completely abandoned the idea. Instead of expanding Final Fantasy VII's lore in animated form, Square Enix let the project die, depriving fans of what could have been an incredible anime adaptation.

The wait will almost certainly be worth it, considering that mods will definitely come into play upon the release of Rebirth.

Final Fantasy 14 has crossover events rather frequently, such as the recent Final Fantasy 16 event that saw Clive and Torgal arrive in Eorzea or the Fall Guys event that brought the frustratingly fun competition of not falling off the map to Warriors of Light everywhere. The nature of FFXIV's world allows crossovers to be implemented rather easily and without needing extensive lore reasons to explain why characters from another world have appeared. Having multiple worlds exist in the universe of FFXIV opens the door to endless crossover potential.

Final Fantasy 7 Remakeand Rebirth have already proven Square Enix is not afraid to deviate from its source material. While the first two parts have faithfully recreated iconic moments, they've also subtly hinted at a future drastically different from the original game's ending. Part 3, therefore, holds the power not just to conclude the story but to adjust it. It's one of those rare opportunities that fans of the series would love to see.
