Hi all! Thought it was about time I joined a FF7 forum, seeing as it’s far and away my favourite game of all time.

I don’t know whether it was because I’ve always been a sucker for the “plucky freedom fighters overcome the odds” trope (thank you Red Dawn, Sonic SatAM), the amazing demo Official Playstation Magazine included with their preview, the great characters or a combination of the three, but I knew I had to have this game the moment it was released, and played it day in/day out until I finally finished it at stupid o’clock on a Sunday night/Monday morning.
Even though it couldn’t possibly match the original, I’m still very impressed with the remake. Finally got round to finishing it yesterday, and I’m personally happy that they’re going in a very different direction with it rather than just a scene for scene copy with fancy graphics. Although it’s obviously unlikely, I’m holding out hope that

Jessie is still alive, as she was one of my favourites from the original
