I just came.

I'm going to have to borrow a friends PS4 for this one.

One of the only handful of games I played from start to finish years and years ago.
Might be cool to replay it with current gen graphics.
 
Final Fantasy VII was the first game I put more than 100 hours into way back in the 90s. I so thoroughly burnt myself out on it I don't know if I can go back even after all this time. :1orglaugh

Or an XOne? ;)

Same here. First game with 100+ in first and only play through. Wouldn't mind re-living that if I even have that kind of time again.

As a Nintendo kid, I find the Xbox buttons horribly frustrating. Their buttons are backwards to everything that I've grown up on!

At least, with a Playstation, I have to play match that shape. It's easier to me than trying to teach my brain B is A and Y is X.

One of the things the Playstation has always had on the Xbox is the controller. While the differences between the two company's consoles performances isn't really that important to me and I'm not one of those nutty vocal fanboys of either console, the controller is where the rubber meets the road sort of speak and for me it does matter. I don't know if it's because the Playstation controller was first developed by people with smaller hands or what, but I have often found the Xbox's controllers to be clunky and overly bulky with bad button placement. That's not good in an instrument that supposed to control things to fine precision. Maybe once somebody got used to it it wouldn't be so bad, but given a choice I'm not making the transition.

If I remember correctly getting the golden chocobo in Final Fantasy VII was one of the reasons I pushed past the 100 hour mark on it. The other was maxing out the Knights of the Round materia to defeat Emerald Weapon.
 
I might have to break out my copy of FFVII for the PS1. I haven't played it since 1999 but with the remake coming out (which I will be buying), seems like a good time. I think I still have my original game saves on a memory card.

Ive always found with every new console, I never liked the controllers at first use but after a few days just got used to them like you said. Original Xbox was bulky but 360/One are perfect for my hand size.

I remember getting bloody thumbs from Nintendo buttons. I must have played to much but couldn't stop :)

Don't forget about the rectangular shape where the corners dug into the hands while playing. :1orglaugh That goes even more so when one was playing a difficult game and had a death grip on the controller, which considering it was old school Nintendo the vast majority of games were hard.

When people ask how I became good at video games I always tell them that if somebody can get good at some Nintendo and started playing at the age of 4 then the stuff they make now is a breeze by comparison. Also whenever people think I've got lightning reflexes I attribute part of that to old scrollers where you had no choice in the matter...well that and the trial by error method until you literally memorized entire levels.

Oh ya, those corners were a pain during those 8hr sessions.

Better controllers probably why was able to play even longer sessions in FFVII. :eyeso:

The Gold Saucer was, and still is the best mini-game ever in a FF.

FF7 is just awesome. It was more than a game. I really can't wait to see this redone. But I will always be found playing to original over and over again.
 
Beyond excited! I've been clamouring for this to be done for a long time, one of my favorite if not my favorite game of all time, turtles in time for snes I think gets top billing. Preorders are up on Amazon with a Christmas time release date.
