Final Fantasy VII Was Released This Day 24 Years Ago

 

Today 24 years ago, SquareSoft (now Square Enix) released one of the most beloved, memorable, and influential Japanese RPG's ever to grace this planet in "Final Fantasy VII". 

Released for the original Sony PlayStation in January 31, 1997, the game put players in control of a young broody SOLDIER named Cloud Strife, who travels with a group of friends and unlikely companions as they try to save the planet from a mega-corporation that is draining its resources. The events of the game also put the party in conflict with a mysterious man named Sephiroth - whose ties to Cloud and his own agenda lead to the endgame that will decide the fate of their planet.

FFVII would become a phenomenon, selling 12.8 Million units during its peak and would be instrumental in building its own unique fanbase and universe - which would compose of various spin-offs and multimedia such as the sequel film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the PSP prequel Crisis Core, and last year's long awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake. To say it is not short of an Epic Saga that remains timeless to this day is an understatment.

Happy 24th Anniversary, Final Fantasy VII!
