Final Fantasy VII

Game Details:

In 1997, "Final Fantasy VII" was released on PlayStation, becoming an important milestone for JRPG games entering the 3D and international markets. The game utilized advanced CGI technology at the time, perfectly combining a complex worldview, plot animations, and turn-based combat. Players control the protagonist Cloud Strife, joining the eco-resistance organization "Avalanche" to fight against the Shinra Company, which uses the extraction of planetary life energy "Mako" as a means, and ultimately reveals a greater threat - Sephiroth.

The game incorporates classic elements such as the "Materia" system, summon creatures, and vehicles (such as Chocobos and airships). The complex character relationships and shocking plot twists (such as Aerith's death) are unforgettable, and it is still known as "one of the greatest works in gaming history" to this day.

Editor's Recommendation:

If you're an RPG enthusiast, then "Final Fantasy VII" is a classic you absolutely cannot miss. Not only is the plot rich and the setting profound, but it also has a very high emotional rendering power, especially the realistic and touching character portrayal, with each character having a distinct personality and story. The game's "Materia" system provides a very strong degree of combat strategy freedom, and the summon creature effects are a reflection of the visual limits of the time. Coupled with the grand worldview and captivating music (such as the opening theme "Prelude" and the battle song "Those Who Fight"), this game has become a benchmark in the RPG world.

Game Walkthrough:

• Materia Combination Suggestions: The Materia system is the core of combat. Initially, it is recommended to use the "Cure" + "All" combination to enhance the team's survival ability; in the mid-to-late game, you can combine "Final Attack" + "Revive" and other powerful combinations to deal with boss battles.
• Level and Attribute Development: Although the game allows for free combination of Materia, character attribute growth is limited. It is recommended that Cloud take the warrior route, Tifa and Barret take the output route, and Aerith focus on support and magic.
• Hidden Character Acquisition: There are two hidden characters, Yuffie and Vincent, in the game. After completing the corresponding side quests, they can join the team and provide great help in combat.
• Summon Creature Collection: Summon creatures (such as Bahamut and Knights of the Round) have powerful skills; pay attention to exploring hidden locations to obtain them in different maps and missions.
• Gold Chocobo Breeding: Through the Chocobo racing and breeding system, you can eventually obtain the "Gold Chocobo" and unlock all areas on the world map (including hidden caves and summon creatures).
• Defeating Weapon-class Bosses: The end-game "Ruby Weapon" and "Emerald Weapon" are extremely challenging and require a reasonable combination of Materia, tactical strategies, and a higher level to win.
