Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy VII is a 1997 role-playing game developed and published by Square for the original PlayStation. This record represents the PlayStation game converted to PS3, not a native modern PS3 release. The story follows Cloud Strife, a mercenary who joins a group opposing Shinra and later confronts the threat posed by Sephiroth.

The adventure combines world exploration, towns, dungeons, story scenes, party development, and turn-based combat built around the Materia system. Materia lets characters learn spells and abilities, while equipment and party selection shape combat strategy. The game moved the series into a broad 3D presentation with rendered environments, polygonal characters, and cinematic sequences across a large science-fantasy world.

Final Fantasy VII is designed as a single-player campaign with a substantial cast and a story centered on Cloud, his allies, Shinra, and Sephiroth. Players travel through varied locations, complete narrative quests, manage equipment, and fight enemies using commands, abilities, and limit techniques. Catalog status: PlayStation-to-PS3 conversion; developer and original publisher: Square; mode: single-player.
