I remember I was watching my friend playing it on his Playstation and I nearly bought Playstation because of it. ( I was still on my Saga MegaDrive ). But I waited for the PC version, turns out my ATI Graphics card just wasn't good enough. The game if I remember correctly was heavily optimised for Glide ( The API from 3Dfx ), so bought a Voodoo 2 instead which was crazy expensive just to play a game but I couldn't resist. The PC version was insanely great. Voodoo 2 Graphics had 30fps making everything silky smooth LOL. ( I dont think we were 60fps era yet ) The software synthesiser from Yamaha was miles ahead of anything else on the market. The music was just brilliant ( Nobuo Uematsu is an absolute genius ), 25 years later when I see FF7 I could still hear the intro music in my head. Those MIDI sound when selecting commands. Spending days just to get a Golden Chocobo ( And typing that now the Chocobo music is playing in my head ). It is somehow all burned into my DNA.

I just wish I have time to play the Remake. Still waiting for PS5 to become widely available.

The good old days, they dont make games like that any more.
