...30 minute long "Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII" which is video footage taken from various parts of the game. While avid fans will enjoy this, all the text relating to the game is in Japanese, and while the video footage (which includes some FMV items) is amazing to watch and brings back many memories for me, people who aren't fans of the game, or have never played it will soon get bored and turn it off. However, in my opinion this is a great added ... Read review
