I was a teenager when the original FF7 made it's way to the PS1. I rented the game after reading about it for 2 weeks in GamePro and EGM. Took it home Friday night, and that was the start. Soon after, I bought it. I got the strategy guide along with it. I went through and done everything possible. The in- game clock stops at 99:59:59. I was way past that! From getting the Knights of The Round materia, to leveling each character to 99, defeating the Weapons, getting the ultimate weapons for each character..... it takes awhile!! I was so excited for the Remake, and I loved it. After waiting a couple of years, getting Rebirth is taking me right back to my teenage tears. The world map music is the same. I always loved that. I'm only a little over 6 hours in, and I've definitely noticed some changes, but it's still a great FF. I feel like a teenager again! I'm almost 41! I cannot say enough about this game. The graphics, soundtrack, game play, story (of course), and the nostalgia. If you loved the original from 1997, do yourself a favor, and grab this. You won't be disappointed!!
