Final Fantasy 7 broke the mold of the classic JRPG franchise in so many ways. From its dark, cyberpunk atmosphere to its 3D graphics and character designs, it changed the RPG landscape forever. Gone were the days of 2D sprites and cramped stories crammed onto tiny game cartridges; Final Fantasy 7 revolutionized gaming with its immense 4-disk size and epic world filled with hours of mystery and action-packed JRPG goodness. Now, the franchise has seen countless imitators and its own legacy extended with subsequent installments, but none can compare to the original masterpiece that is Final Fantasy 7.

As the JRPG revolution swept the gaming scene in the 90s, Final Fantasy 7 revolutionized the franchise in yet another way: by straying away from the more traditional sword and sorcery-style storytelling. The game's bleak, dystopian cyberpunk setting was a far cry from the high-fantasy worlds of its predecessors, and many fans initially found it difficult to accept this bold new direction for the series. But, with its captivating gameplay, complex characters, and dramatic story, Final Fantasy 7 ultimately went on to become one of the most beloved games in the franchise and established itself as a groundbreaking JRPG experience.
