For over a decade, Final Fantasy VII has been a _____________________
highly appreciated game, and it has been nominee for oO © Absolute Steve Oo
"best game ever" countless times. This strategy guide || Version: Ultimate ||
allows you to relive this classic in its full glory, Oo [email protected] oO
or, to put it in different words: "You've played FF VII ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
before, but you've never BEATEN it ... yet!"
Final Fantasy VII has always been one of my favorite games ever, and this guide
remains a pet project. It's amazing how many deep themes the story explores and
how many subtle references are hidden away in the game. One can also point to
the many 'beauty' imperfections the game has, which have led to an unprecedented
amount of research on the game by fans all over the world. These imperfections
have - paradoxically - made the game more interesting for many of us. The fact
that official guides and sources lacked enormous amounts of information allowed
a large pile of secrets to stack up, which of course has been harvested over the
years and is now presented to you in this guide. It furthermore appears to be
the case that the older one grows, the more one is able to appreciate the game's
unparalleled humor, incredible soundtrack, numerous secrets, and the melancholic
nostalgia of the days when games were primarily about gameplay, radical jokes
and philosophical or literary narrative.
This guide is a recollection of a vast amount of information that has been
unearthed from Final Fantasy VII over the years, and as of yet, the source
seemingly hasn't dried up. It also contains unique, self-researched information
and a walkthrough with notes on when (un)official sidequests become available,
along with notes on how to boost your party to perfection in an optional
'Perfect Game' challenge.
There are still moments when I wish to make a beautiful printed guide (or at the
very least, a definite guide in PDF format) out of this document, but it would
require a team of people, or at the very least a very skilled designer willing
to take on this task pro deo. Do let yourself be heard if you're out there.
So far, interestingly enough, several people have sent me an email over the
years, showing initial interest. But apparently such interest is but a temporary
spark, as they're never again heard from after follow-up email correspondence.
Rests me to wish you a lot of pleasure with Final Fantasy VII. I can only hope
that this guide does justice to the depth of the game.
Steve
