I got back on the FF7 train yesterday. The soundtrack is just so good in this game.

I was messing around with the PC version of this game last night, and the one thing that stood out to me was how this game just immediately throws you into the battle system and lets you start playing. I hate it when games take 2 or 3 hours to get going.

Loved it back in the day, but haven't played it since and probably wouldn't care for it much now, but still going with 4 stars, fond memories.
