| Final Fantasy VII is a very popular
computer game published by Eidos Interactive. Originally
released in June of 1998, this CD-ROM-based fantasy quest
quickly won a huge fan base and critical acclaim at the same
time. Players utilize mouse or keyboard entry or joystick play
to engage the world. The game requires at least two megabytes of
RAM for the video card, a recent Windows operating system (such
as 95 or 98), and a 133-megahertz Pentium chip. The game
features actions that take place in a made-up land called Midgar.
Players must interact with a menu and solve adventure sequences
to graduate to other parts of the world. The game allows just
three characters to engage in play but provides emergency
fighting assistance in the form of what is called a Desperation
Move.
According to Designer Tetsuya Nomura, the Desperation Move
occurs when characters suffer critical battle wounds. A second
wind of sorts kicks in and allows them to fight with increasing
ferocity. Nomura tried to introduce this idea (also called a
Limit Break) in the previous game version, Final Fantasy VI.
Some fans criticized the initial PlayStation version for poor
Japanese to English translation of some of the legends. The
scripts, fantasy world playing elements, and elaborate CGI
renderings helped pave the way for more immersive online gaming
experiences, such as the World of Warcraft. Final Fantasy VII
also includes several bosses that can be encountered optionally.
