The Cosmo Canyon arc is still one of my favorite parts of Final Fantasy VII. The first time I saw Bugenhagen talk about the Lifestream all those years ago, it was such a big moment. It's also a good development arc for a certain character.

Ahh, the chocobo racing minigame in FFVII, which spun off into its own game for PlayStation: the aptly titled Chocobo Racing.

Now if only my backwards compatible PS3 was hooked up so I could play it again.

Ahh, that moment in FFVII when you see Gold Saucer for the very first time. And then my favorite mini game: Mog House!

Still early in my FFVII replay, and I'm surprised at how much I've forgotten or only half remembered about the story so far. And yet, a few scenes in Cloud's flashback I remembered clear as day. It really has been a long time since I last played this game, either the original PlayStation version or the original PC port, both of which I have.

Just finished up the Midgar arc in FFVII. Yes, I am using the boosts, and no, they're not reducing my enjoyment of my replay. I don't have time for all that grinding, though I'm still going to grind now that I'm on the world map. Those boosts will make it significantly less of a time sink than if I was just playing vanilla. And I can turn off random encounters when they just slow things down at certain points, too.

The crazy motorcycle chase wasn't as crazy as I remembered it, but it was just as difficult to actually ward off the attackers!

If I had been reading things correctly, the first FFVII Remake game only covers up to this point in the story. The game being split into at least a trilogy was one thing which dropped my interest in the Remake, and with later installments not even having PS4 versions, that was the final decider in not getting the Remake at all for me.

I'm curious as to what the Remake does with the story, as it seems to incorporate some of the other spinoffs like Crisis Core, but I won't even be thinking about getting the FFVII Remake series until I have a PS5, which is still not in my plans any time soon.

But I digress! The debut of the FFVII Theme on the world map means my adventure is finally beginning.

I don't know why, but ever since I first played FFVII 25 years ago, I've always pronounced Red XIII's name as "Red Ex Eleven", which makes no sense, since XIII is thirteen.

Hahaha. I forgot how early in FFVII the Honeybee Inn arc was.

Very happy to have this game back in my collection

I have many fond memories of it

Hace poquito regrese al #FinalFantasyVII, joya de la play 1. Me había quedado varado un buen rato y lo abandone un par de meses, pero al fin halle a dónde ir y ahí voy avanzando

#FFVIIRebirth is so strange. It does many things wondrously well, and some things terrifically badly.

Cait Sith is perfect though. No notes.
