Final Fantasy VII

Aeries dying is still the most moving moment in any game, COD4 came close quite a few times especially after the nuke

Actually I kinda disagree, although Aeries dying was very moving, I actually thought COD4 more moving...but this isn't a COD4 thread ;)
 
I would definitely say the nuke scene is up there with the most atmospheric moments in gaming. Much like Aeris' death it was a sharp, horrifying twist that just bolted out of nowhere. This isn't a CoD4 thread though. :p

It was the music that did it all. They couldn't have done a better musical score to accompany the scenes in FFVII. So masterfully done in my opinion. The same artists (Nobuo Uematsu and co) hung around for future iterations of Final Fantasy but none of those stood up to FFVII's work.

Nobuo Uematsu - I'm sure he has said he would do the music for a VII remake if asked aslong as it was original and untouched, even though he has a rocky relationship with SE.

Uematsu saying that is actually part of the dropping-hints-about-a-remake thing that Squarenix has going on. I just know they employed some old hack to do FFXIII's music while he works feverishly on the orchestral equivelant for the remake :p

Again, i can't visit gaming sites while at work, Who is it from Final Fantasy 7 who was involved with Lost Odyssey?

Nobuo Uematsu for the music. Hironobu Sakaguchi originally created Final Fantasy but has now left SE to make Lost Odyssey. I don't think he had as big a creative role for FFVII though.

There's a few key titles that are proving tricky to get hold of - namely Dawn Of Souls for GBA, the older Legend/Adventure titles for GB and the SNES stuff(The US versions tend to fetch silly money or be incomplete!!). Most difficult item to find up to now was FFIV Easytype. I've also got my eye on the International Versions of VII, X and XII, as well as the US versions... So much money to spend, and that's before getting into the Japanese PS1 re-releases and GBA releases! Don't get me started on the PSP ones, I'm waiting till I've got a PSP to play them on first!

god the music in this game was amazing

Maybe to someone who's good on the piano that isn't so difficult, but for someone like me that looks insanely complicated. Great stuff!

One of the things I love about a new FF game is sticking it in and hearing the new Prelude. I never get tired of that 'going-up-the-scale-and-then-down-again' piano, and could listen to it all day.

In case any of you FF fans have missed it, Gametrailers did a Final Fantasy retrospective that covers all of the FF's to date. You simply have to see it, it's fantastic -- http://www.gametrailers.com/retrospective.php

FFVIII never did that, which annoyed me. It did have its own really good introduction theme during the starting credits though.
 
Well, it did play right at the end too (the bit where Squall and Rinoa kiss on the balcony at the party then Garden passes in front of the Moon).

But yeah. The piece is called Prelude, it should happen before other stuff :)


Btw, I'm on disc 2 of Lost Odyssey and this is Final Fantasy through and through. We all know Sed = Cid, Mistwalker :p

FF6 > FF7. better charatcers (by far - FF7 pioneered the annoying angst ridden hero/antagonist), better story, and a whole lot more epic.
