Though younger generations may not recognize this game immediately, I’m almost positive that their parents have heard of the everlasting game series that is Final Fantasy. With the franchise’s 95 games, 2 animes, and 5 movies, it’s pretty hard to miss. The crown for one of the series’ most popular games rests upon the 7th final fantasy, starring a cocky soldier named Cloud. Regardless of story, however, the installment was first released on January 31, 1997, when video game graphics weren’t exactly pixel perfect. For this day and age, the graphics are rough, but that doesn’t negate that the initial release was hugely hyped for kids and teens alike. On April 10, 2020, Square Enix, the developers of Final Fantasy, decided to release a remake of this beloved game with boosted graphics while remaining true to the original story. Rumors speak of a second part for the recreation coming out in 2024.
