10 Best Moments In Final Fantasy History
1. Leaving Midgar - Final Fantasy VII
Blow up reactor. Meet team. Try to blow up second reactor. Meet mysterious girl. Investigate local pimp. Half of team get crushed in act of terrorism. Mysterious girl gets kidnapped. Rescue mysterious girl...
The opening scenes in Midgar are some of my favourite of all time, but the plot is fairly straightforward and the action predictable.
However, just as you get used to this formula, the motorcycle chase happens. New mechanics are suddenly required to keep you and your teammates alive before reaching the boundaries of Midgar, and after defeating the boss, it finally dawns on you that you're not about to turn back - but venture out into the open world.
Suddenly you can move Cloud across the world map and the sheer scale of the true game's breadth hits you.
Needless to say, it feels incredible!
