I played it as an adult. I bought a 3dfx graphics accelerator so i could pay it on the PC. It cost about as much as a PS1 would have cost and was hopelessly outdated a year later. And now get off my lawn, damn kids!
Eh, I never really liked 8, the scaling monsters, constant spell drawing, and teenage drama storyline all put me off of the game. IMO it's the worst of the PS1 Final Fantasy's.
My sister had a PS so I bought FF7 to play at her house and then after she said I had to go I needed to demand my mom buy me a PS for Christmas. My sister is 9 years older, that's why she had her own place and why I asked my mom for one. Not that I was an adult asking mom.
I was 12 when FF7 came out, but I was 13 before I got my own PS1 and my own copy of the game so I didn't have to borrow my friend's whole setup to finish the game.
Never had a console as a kid (family didn't believe in them) instead had a tricked out IBM 486. Played a lot of Wing Commander, Rebel Assault, King's Quest 6 amongst others.

In retrospect, the transition to "3D graphics" was so very awkward.

I liked it. I'm a big theatre kid too, so the pantomime "acting" was just stylized performance to me.

Kid in 97 = basically dead
Er... Alright.
I guess I'm just sentient dust

Eh, 8 was better.

The third playthrough of 7 made the fourth playthrough of 9 look like the first playthrough of 6.

No but I played 8 in 99. Also played this fun 2800 adventure called montezuma's revenge. Think pitfall meets adventure

Being a huge fan of FF2 & FF3 (still my favorite), FF7 was the reason we got a PlayStation.

The trick was you and your friends had to have different platforms. That way everyone could enjoy everything.

I didn't play it, but I recognize the artwork immediately. Am I good or am I included?

Back in my day, King's Field 3 was called King's Field 2. And Mark from Revelations: Persona was black!
