Final Fantasy VII is a 1997 role-playing video game developed by Square for the PlayStation console. It is the seventh main installment in the Final Fantasy series. Published in Japan by Square, it was released in other regions by Sony Computer Entertainment and became the first in the main series to see a PAL release. The game's story follows Cloud Strife, a mercenary who joins an eco-terrorist organization to stop a world-controlling megacorporation from using the planet's life essence as an energy source. Events send Cloud and his allies in pursuit of Sephiroth, a superhuman who seeks to wound the planet and harness its healing power in order to be reborn as a demigod. During the journey, Cloud builds close friendships with his party members, including Aerith Gainsborough, who holds the secret to saving their world.

Available on Playstation, Playstation 4, iOS, Windows, Android, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is expected to release on March 3rd, 2020

I'm 30, so I'm from the PS1 generation, but have never played FFVII. Yesterday started to play the game for the first time and this video helped me to understand a lot. Thanks man!

You should do a video like "Don't miss these things" in the game. Things that aren't exactly firsthand knowledge to a new player, but are important things that may be easy to miss/not be aware of. As well as items that become unobtainable past a certain stage in the game. Good stuff!

I just rediscovered FF7 and I'm having a blast playing it. Thanks for this video.

[pizzweak]

Thank God, someone finally explained the materia system to me. Can't believe you're the only one

[TheCodyMMA]

Great video. I'm doing a play through now on the switch after about 10 years. Good refresher

FINALLY! Someone else who understands that ATB is not "turn-based" combat. I always feel like I'm screaming at a wall when I try to tell people that.

[dovakiin]

Wow this helped so much actually, I'm just starting my first playthrough because I always wanted to try the series and I'm playing it on the switch, great video

[valentinoaditya]

I never got a chocobo in my first playthrough 20 years ago and that's what i did, i ran, died, ran, died, and finally i outran the giant snake!

Here's a tip: Keep an eye out on how much materia you're holding when you get to the Northern Crater. Your other party members will pick up materia when you split them up and if you have too much materia when you regroup, you will lose materia. I lost a ton of mastered materia because I was not aware of the cap and because of it, I will never have Master materia in any category on my master save file.

Great tips! I have put 13 hours into the game and didn't even know how to change my formation. I assumed that the character at the top would be in front and bottom in the back and didn't realize that you would actually have to put them in the back via the menu. Thanks a ton!!!

[arcuslux]

It will be my first time playing the game so its actually pretty great that youtube recommended me this. Great vid thank you so much for that.

[Kaz-oshy]

Awesome video thank you! Just playing this on the PS4 and while I’m not new to JRPGs ff7 doesn’t explain some things so much appreciated

"Quite possibly the greatest game ever made."
-Gamefan
Still holds true.

[TreyDxk]

Bro I really appreciate u. You legit held my hand throughout the game😂

[kspayton]

when you get to higher levels the materia combos really shine.
Final Attack + Pheonix with auto revive you and do damage when that character dies.
Absorb MP/HP + knights of the nine (or any multi hit spell like comet2 or the 2x cut materia) will greatly restore your resources.
that materia that lets you cast death + add status materia will give you a chance to just insta kill things if you put it on your weapon.
also the ghost of the gi tribe you fight with red xiii can be killed with an x potion or pheonix down. like most undead in the FF games they take damage from healing spells. always use that sense materia to see what you are fighting.

Great advice brother I'm a new player just past the prison now. Some advice I would suggest is firstly never assume a npc can't be talked to over a counter for example I didn't know I could talk to a guy to get a battery off him! I had to cheat and Google how to power up the wall part. Mainly due to myself just not feeling it and wanted to rush the game a bit. Secondly a big one to, never assume just because there is no arrows on the screen that there just mustn't be exploration there I've found countless places just running behind cliffs or spamming ok button to find hidden areas which can give good loot or secret dialogue. Lastly I would suggest taking your time and talking to all NPCs and actually read the dialogue. I've sadly grown to custom to MMOs with bad dialogue with lame fetch quests to skip through reading just to be spoon fed an icon to take me to my next destination. FF vii isn't like modern spoon feeding games where there is no riddles or puzzles. With FF vii you will have to read and challenge yourself to think outside the box that is if you don't want to get lost between missions or lose cool exclusive rewards for solving npc riddles. Thanks for this video and hope this info helps others too!

Highly helpful. I played this many, many moons ago and only barely finished the first disk and have spend the last 20 years thinking it was an overrated game. Picked it up again last week for the craic and was absolutely blown away by it. I've been gobbling up the game and and enjoying it with a new perspective on the quality of writing and variety of mini games dynamics that doesn't feel forced that you just don't find anymore. These tips definitely cleared up much of the confusion I had too. Thank you muchly

ive started and gave up this game like 4 or 5 times throughout my childhood. Only ever made it to disc 2 back then.
now ive started it and a few hours in ive already escaped midgar and in kalm. Its gonna happen this time around guys.

[Skyfighter]

Get Matra Magic from the area around Midgar. This attack only costs 8mp, and will one-shot groups of enemies (provided you aren't under the effects of Fury), making early Limit farming MUCH easier. I farm the woods near Fort Condor, since most groups are either 5 or 3, and do enough damage to help you farm your 2nd limits (per level) easily as well. Also where you can first pick up Yuffie.
