My experiences in playing the FF7 original game and the 1st part of the FF7 trilogy... Final Fantasy 7 tackles themes of corruption, capitalism, identity, friendship, and environmentalism. You follow Cloud, an ex-Soldier (military company) who is hired by the Splinter cell of Avalanche, an eco-terrorist organization that aims to stop Shinra (an electric company) from extracting mako (lifeblood of the planet) and ruining the environment with their smog and extractions that cause the planet to weaken. While some argue that the remake of the game cheapens the message of the original game, I argue that it simply makes it more palatable for newer generations. The remake has great graphics, great story, an interactive action based gameplay loop, and numerous other additions that make it much more enjoyable, understandable, and stimulating.
