One of the first games of the series I was able to play :P

When I started playing, FF7 was a thing of the past so I had to start with this one. I was still able to play FF7 a bit though, and the transition in graphics from FF7 to FF8 for me was astounding. I quickly fell in love with the game.

The story is one of the nicest in the series, especially when you are looking for a love story. The one from FFX is also good, but it isn't till FFX-2 that their story is finished.

The gameplay is also solid. The trigger button from the gunblade keeps you busy on the fight scene. I particularly enjoyed the latter parts of the game with all the GF's and massing aura. :P The idea of monsters leveling up with you also makes sense for me.

Overall, a very very good and excellent game. Some may argue that FF7 is still better, but for me, this was one of the huge steps taken by Squaresoft to the improving of games. Having it on the PC makes it all the more replayable and available to be enjoyed once again. :
