It's the first story where you develop a real bonding attachment to the characters in the story. The previous games all had interesting stories and were certainly fun to experience. (FFIV-misnamed FFII on release is my personal favorite. Likely due to Rackhir's 'imprinting' theory. Then X followed by VII)VII with it's vastly improved graphics and awesome CG cut scenes was impressive. The first scene where you see this strange steampunk inspired city and you follow the train in to the opening sequence of game play, amazing. Character loss is nothing new to the games. Palom and Porom, Shadow. Death happens, sad but part of the story. 'What happens next?'When you get to that point in VII. It... is... devastating. Weather that shock holds up for someone playing it for the first time today is another question. Also, on the down side, I always found the directional controls to be a bit clunky. You get used to them quickly enough, but I have to 're-acclimatize' every time I put the game in.As to which version? I'd go for the PS version, but I'm a purist and a collector. If that's not you and the PC game is cheaper...</blockquote>
