Used to be i have ever played FF VII PS1 (pirated disc) long time ago when i was college age but now i don't feel i want to revisit FF VII and the spinoffs anymore due to that franchise has been milked to dry until i felt annoyed and lost my interest with FF VII franchises. Even i have banned FF VII Remake for explicit swearing words.
So I started playing FFVII and it seems like a really great game so far. The graphics are kinda primitive now, but still very charming. The soundtrack rivals that of FFVI. The story has just begun, but I'm liking the characters that has been introduced.

I think the soundtrack for FFVII might be my least favorite in the series. Sure "One-Winged Angel" and "Aerith's Theme" are amazing, but the rest? Kind of meh.

It's not the kind of soundtrack you can really listen to for fun. It's incredibly good at setting the mood for the story though. The game has such a powerful vibe about it, and the music is a huge part of that.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 and Final Fantasy XII on Switch were on sale at BestBuy for $19.99 each, $15.99 with GCU.
Though personally I’d go for the Play-Asia version of FFX/X-2 with both games on a 32gb cart, and the Final Fantasy VII and VIII Remastered double pack. So many FF games fully on cart in English from Play-Asia.

@JaxonH Yeah, I also ordered both VII/VIII and X/X-2 from Play-Asia to get the games on one cart. I like that the VII/VIII cart shows two separate icons for the individual titles when inserted in the Switch.
I've played FFVII some more now. What a dark and gritty game, with cursing and sexual themes. There's even the word r-tard thrown in, very 90's! FFX feels very light, more like a fairy tale, in comparison.
Love the game so far! A little bit dated in some areas, but overall solid.
@Quarth
Such a great score getting both those games. Having VII and VIII Remastered on cart is the dream realized, and having X/X-2 on Switch, on a 32gb cart, is the dream realized that even Vita couldn’t offer. FFX was my first FF game and I played on Vita. It was and still is my favorite game on that system. Of course now it’s on Switch, has been upgraded to the full console version and is hybrid. Amazing.
If you like FF, I really have to recommend Chocobo’s Dungeon and World of Final Fantasy also. Chocobo’s Dungeon is the best mystery dungeon title I’ve ever played, and the only one that actually hooked me aside from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and Shiren the Wanderer. And WoFF is a great catch-em-all JRPG, more like Ni No Kuni than Pokémon (though not as good as either, imo- Ni No Kuni is a masterpiece and, contrary to what many say, I think Pokémon Sword/Shield is too, albeit iterative). It’s unique though. And I appreciate that.

@JaxonH Thanks for the recommendations! Here's hoping we'll get a physical release of Chrystal Chronicles as well.
I just got extremely frustrated at FFVII. It got me into a trap! After getting Cid and the plane, I went around the map and came to a place where Yuffie suddenly stole all my materia. Chased after her to a town where I stopped to save the game. Shouldn't have done that... To get my materia back I have to get through a cave and beat a boss, but to get past a certain flame infested part of the cave I need an item that I bet gets available later in the game (and only once, it seems). Luckily I made a second save at the Rocket Launch Pad Area before meeting Cid, so didn't lose that much progress. But it can in theory be game breaking! Almost wants me to drop a score (up until now the game has felt like a 10/10).
Pound for pound, FFVII's OST is easily my favorite in the series. There's a reason I own it on CD, even though I pretty much never buy CDs. I'm actually not hugely big on One-Winged Angel as it was presented in the game, though.
I own a copy of the OST as well.
I still feel that the music is disjointed and is out of place more often than not.
