My opinion about FF7 is that it's actually underrated in some ways and that some of the core plot stuff surrounding Cloud is good and unique for a JRPG like this. I wasn't a big fan of it when I originally played it as a teenager, but in retrospect it's good. It's particularly interesting finding out that Tifa is aware that Cloud is basically mentally ill for much of the game and fabricated this whole past of him being the badass SOLDIER when he was actually just some random employee/non-capital-letter soldier and his buddy was the SOLDIER.

The combat in this game is a hell of a lot of fun, to the extent that I look forward to fights and getting new equipment/materia. It's so much better than FF15's attempt to do an action-RPG sort of thing.

I’m so mad Biggs survived instead of Jesse

You know what owns?

I read a "spoiler" that Jessie survives and played through the last parts of the game constantly thinking "so when's Jessie coming back" and then it just never happened and I was sad :(

Biggs is great too, though. Biggs is probably my favorite of the Avalanche trio. Chapter 4 was one of my favorite chapters; it's one of the best chapters for characterizing Cloud (in addition to Biggs/Wedge/Jessie of course) and also gives us a look into middle class Midgar (this was one of the few disappointing things about the game; we get to see non-slum Midgar once at the beginning and once during Chapter 4, but otherwise you never really revisit it).
