Square Enix NEEDS to re-release this classic game once more - and, potentially, has two means to do so - allowing players another chance to play in the shoes of Cloud's old companion and Aerith's original lover, Zack. That game was the prequel: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. One game received plenty of praise (though also a decent amount of criticism) from fans and critics alike. While most of these spin-offs were met with a lukewarm to negative response from fans, one game stood apart.

In the early 2000s, multiple Final Fantasy VII adjacent projects were released, from the movie sequel Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children to the tactical-shooter game Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus. However, this is far from the first time Square Enix attempted to capitalize on the success of Cloud's adventures.

Final Fantasy VII: Remake will be arriving soon, allowing players to relive the memories of the epic saga that might have turned them into RPG fans back in 1997.
