Since I’m starting with a picture of Aerith, I may as well review the game, not like anyone doubts that it’s a great game, I just figure it’ll look pretty and take up the space.

Yes, it’s one of the best games of all time, and I don’t care what you say.

Final Fantasy 7 came out in America on PlayStation: June 1^st, 1997.  Since then there has been a massive explosion of Final Fantasy appreciation.  Personally I think it was the best one and Sqaresoft’s peek, because ever since then their games have just gone down hill.  Now that they have merged with Enix, let’s just hope that they don’t continue their downward spiral.

Story rating: 10/10

It’s a jaw dropping, bittersweet story…I just think Cloud and Aerith were more meant to be than Tifa and Cloud….

Characters: 10/10

I love how they had the extra characters.  Vincent has a great story; they could have done more with Yuffy though.

Battles: 8/10

Fun, exciting, and interesting new creatures.  The weapons were fun also, but maybe a little too hard for my tastes!

Replay value: 7/10

Although if you did what I did and played through it once but didn’t beat it, then took a few years and played only through the first disc nearly 50 times, it tends to get tedious.

Extras: 9/10

The chocobos were just a pain…and they could have made the caves a little more epic, I mean all that for nights of the round and you just walk into this room and pick it off the floor? It’s all just a little anticlimactic to me…but over all it was great.

Final Comment:

Get out and play this game! And if you have already, play it again!

Title: Threads of Fate (Dew Prism)

Publisher: Squaresoft USA

Genre/Category: Action RPG

System: PS one

Number of Players: 1

Release Date: 06/2000

Compatible Peripheral Features: Vibration Function, Memory Card

Threads of Fate is a mystical tale of two young adventurers.

Princess Mint, the loud mouthed, and even down right rude, female character, is in search of a “relic” to gain the power to basically beat up her younger sister and regain the title of queen.  She already holds some magical abilities, but nothing too outrageous…She also holds a great distaste for pumpkins.

Rue, the male character, is a silent warrior with a questionable past and the strange ability to morph into different creatures.

Story rating: 8/10

There could have been more, but the story was great.  A good twist here and there, followed by a big heaping plate of comedy, it was refreshing.

Characters: 6/10

There weren’t many characters in it at all, but the colorful cast makes up for it all.  I love Mint’s brash, loud mouth!

Battles: 5/10

The battles aren’t amazing, I did like the action rpg style of it though, nothing too special. 

Replay value: 10/10

There’s not much replay value but there is two characters and I suggest you replay it anyway to get both sides of the story…I have yet to play Rue’s side, but I’ve seen most of it and it’s pretty good!

Extras: 9/10

There isn’t much extra to do, but there are a few mini games that are just down right frustrating.  You’re going to want to eat your play station after this. 

Final Comment:

This was a great game, I encourage you to all get out there and play it.
