Ahhh, the nostalgia. Who here remembers a little game called Final Fantasy 7? (If not, where have you been?
) In my opinion, this game is one of the classics, ranking right up there with Chrono Trigger and Ocarina of Time. It might not be the Best Game Ever Made, and it’s definitely not for everyone, but as a gamer it’s one of the titles we tend to know about even if it’s not in our library. Strangely enough, I’ve had quite a few FF7-related conversations this week, with friends and strangers alike! You know you’ve done a bang-up job with a game when fans are still talking about it more than 10 years down the road.
I watched an episode of Robot Chicken last night and came across this silly parody of the game. It’s not much, but I thought I’d share. Video after the cut. Enjoy!











Speaking of Burger Time, great NES game.

Once again, Robot Chicken barely elicits a smirk. Maybe it’s just me. Headless Ponch was kinda funny, but this…
Here, have a sip of my refreshing Garfield/FFIV parody!

@PRo: “this is possibly a million years old”
True, but it is still golden.

I’ve always looked at FFVII as kind of a golden calf, along with Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 and all these other first-3D-game-in-a-series titles. They’re good, yes. They’re seldom as good as their 2D predecessors, and they don’t really get it right until a couple of games later.

Whenever anyone utters the words “best game ever made,” I always feel compelled — even if they weren’t asking for opinions on just which game is the best ever made — to completely ignore the actual topic at hand and force Planescape: Torment — which, it happens, *is* the best game ever made — upon them.
So, following my usual routine: go play Planescape: Torment, berks.

I just started up a new game of FF7 yesterday. What a coincidence!

I concur: Planescape:Torment is the best crpg ever made. FF7 can go fly a kite compared to it. And yes, this is a bazillion years old. All our base?

I’ll agree that Torment is the best-*written* game of all time, but the actual gameplay is nothing terribly special. Don’t get me wrong–I love me some Torment. But I also love me some FF7.
