Final Fantasy VII was my favorite game for a very long time, and I played it to death. It's been close to five years since I gave it a good playthrough though, so I spent the last week reacquainting myself with it.
Seriously, this game just gets better with age. I still love it, and now I actually understand some of the game's mechanics a little better... Also, being five years older and wiser, I understood the game's storyline much better too... it was almost like playing it again for the first time. Some people say the series started going downhill with this game, I seriously disagree (it started going downhill with 8, in my opinion).
The only downside I can gather from it is that the game seems to be much easier than I remember... I'm at the final boss, I have the gold chocobo and I've mastered almost every major materia... all in about five days. Even still, it's the most fun I've had gaming in so long, I can't remember when.
