Review: Still the GOAT of JRPGs - Now in a Super Convenient
Package - Squaresoft in the 90s had a hit ratio that I don’t
believe any other developer has ever been able to repeat. Final
Fantasy 7 exploded on the PlayStation in 1997 and changed video
games in two huge ways: graphics and story. Arguably one of the
first, if not the first, mainstream video game that can be called
“cinematic”, Square used the power of the PlayStation to show off
what console gaming can be and solidified Japanese-style
role-playing games as the gold standard of the RPG genre. Square
also made waves by breaking with Nintendo, their traditional
publishing partner for Final Fantasy 1-6, after infighting over
disc gaming vs cartridge gaming (Nintendo wanted to stick with
the less powerful cartridge and Square disagreed, opting to
partner with Sony for their console’s increased power vs the
Nintendo 64). In an ironic twist, this version is cartridge based
and on the Nintendo Switch, so we’ve maybe come full circle on
the matter after the initial split 27 years ago when this game
was released. Anyway, this game is still a masterpiece and should
be considered a mandatory play for those wanting to school
themselves on the history of video gaming. It continues to earn
its position as one of the most important games of all time. The
version is the European Switch remaster paired with Final Fantasy
VIII. It looks great, runs amazing on the Switch, and I need to
go back to my original version but I believe the translation has
been slightly updated for the better. The weakest part of
Squaresoft’s games in the 90s was their English translations. The
translators Square used were awful on top of working with
completely unrealistic timelines to translate the games, making a
perfect storm of mediocrity for those of us who don’t speak or
read Japanese. This game is no different, leading to one
character in particular being portrayed as a horribly racist
caricature. I’m happy that seems to be slightly better in this
translation. I know I’m clouded by nostalgia, but the game is
fun, the music still hits in ways that underscore Nobuo Uematsu’s
place as one of the best composers in the world, and I love these
characters and this world more than a lot of real people I know,
so it’s as near to perfect as a piece of media can get.
