Final Fantasy VII goes above and beyond what most games strive to achieve; making a long lasting experience that's not only memorable but life changing at times. Final Fantasy VII is a game I can flip on any day, and I'll immediately be ushered into its Steampunk and Fantasy world - often reminded of its tale of loss and how even if people have moved on or are no longer around, they'll never be forgotten. Hironobu Sakaguchi wrote the main plot based off his own mother's death and he does a wondrous job of weaving the tale together, while keeping the gameplay simple and fun at all times with its materia system. It's a timeless game that should be played by gamers of all kind and is still absolutely playable today.
