Final Fantasy 7. I was a kid when it came out but only played it as a young adult and thought it was very juvenile.

It’s very “edgy”, very much meant to appeal to an older child to teenage demographic. It’s also more of a tech demo to show what the PlayStation could be capable of at the time by pushing the system as hard as they could early in the PSX lifespan. I mean it’s a fine game but for its legendary reputation as one of the greatest games ever made I feel as though that’s something you had to be there for to get that impression. It isn’t quite as ageless to me as something like Zelda64 by comparison.

Sort of like how if you didn’t grow up with seeing movies like The Breakfast Club or St. Elmo’s Fire in the 1980s when they first came out you usually aren’t going to have an intimate connection to them and wonder what all the fuss was about.

From someone who grew up on FF1 to FFX I am sad to say I agree.

While FF7 gives me fond memories as an awkward 17 year old, I never up and discussed the story intensively.

I still replayed it and 100%'d it on steam a few years ago however, but that's because I already knew all the skippables and such and wasn't a slog for me.
