Happy Birthday Final Fantasy VII (Day-Early so what?)

To say that this game hasn’t influenced myself or anyone that has ever put any heart into this site would be a complete lie. With exception to Jazzhak (he may like it I don’t even know), everyone that has ever worked on the site has been a fan of not only Final Fantasy VII but the entire series. But few will ever forget the changes that Final Fantasy VII had on them and how the game itself redefined gaming on the Playstation and turned the tied for Sony against Nintendo back in 97.

Now 10 years later, the games importance still reigns, and will countless remakes from sequels, to prequels and even films, the lasting effect of Final Fantasy VII will surely be felt for generations. So In memory of all this I present you with a video that showcases real-life places that strikingly resemble that of locations and places in Final Fantasy VII, so much so that you wonder if these places themselves were not in fact the inspiration for locations in the game.

I will try to come up with something to do tomorrow to further celebrate the birthday of Final Fantasy VII, but if I don’t get around to it you can bet we will celebrate Final Fantasy’s 20th Anniversary :P. Enjoy the videos and never forget the impact this game made on your lives.
