However, when I played the playstation version I was really surprised with how different it was, everything was bright and clear and the graphs were much better.:p
I played it on PS, but it was still dark even after I got a new 27" TV. Most of the visual problems had to do with interacting with the background when everything was rendered. I got stuck on one damn screen for like an hour because I couldn?t tell where a switch was. I looked at a walkthrough and it was right where I thought it was. It just took me forever to line up and hit it just right. It was full of bad collision detection and points of view, but that I can forgive the game for because of it genre. I just hated the story, the materia system, and most importantly I didn?t own a PS until the PS2 was nearly out. I ended up playing FF VIII first so I have no great memories of VII as the first great 3D RPG.
