In this 30-minute FF7 history lesson, let's take a good hard look at what this legendary game had to offer, and why it is still remembered as one of the most influential masterpieces of the generation. First in a two-part in-depth FFVII retrospective, where we delve into the beginnings of Final Fantasy on the NES, all the way through Final Fantasy 7 on the Playstation, the best-selling and most treasured game in the franchise. Learn about the spin-off games such as Dirge of Cerberus for the PS2, and Crisis Core (PSP), as well as the game's inspiration to the gaming industry.

We will explore the 2005 movie sequel Advent Children, the game's now 20-year old graphic style and mechanics, and what this means to the upcoming FF7 Remake.
