I have to agree, although the graphics weren't as good as they are now, they were prettty godd for it's time. I own 2 copies of FF7 and have beaten the game at least 10 times over. Right after I finished 7 I started 9, but it really didn't compete well, the story, although good, was still lacking in a few areas. The story is one of the best I've ever seen. Also, fighting the weapons were quite fun, although very difficult. So far I have played and beat all FF games except for FF1 and FF8, my friend owned a copy, but it never quite made it to me without being scratched too bad to play, and of course FF11, since you can't beat it. The movie was excellent too. I watched is in Japanese, and could only understand every other word because they talk to fast most of the time, so I changed it to English dub and I absolutely loved it. It had great story, just like the game, all the original characters were there, which always makes movies better since they have the original cast(or in this case, characters). I want to buy it but I have no idea of the release date. I have heard last year, I have heard this spring, summer and fall, so I have no idea, anyone know? While on the subject of FF, who is going to buy Dirge of Cerebus when it comes out? I think I'm gonna rent it, and if it's real good I might buy it.
