Battles in Final Fantasy VII were both a source of delight and annoyance for gamers. The unique, sometimes surprising fights could either spark fond memories or irritation, depending on whether you were about to defeat a boss or casually exploring the world map for additional items. User Velvety_MuppetKing captured this feeling perfectly with his succinct yet deep comment, “jesus christ, LegendaryFrog,” when discussing how the video depicted these battles so endearingly. Many players recall the tense moments leading up to a battle so vividly. As players, you might have recognized those familiar sounds and sighed internally, but it always added to the enchanting journey. Who could forget how the battles affected the game’s tempo? In a sense, they played a role in the storyline, offering the required grinding before a significant plot twist. It appears that the amusingly unpredictable nature of encounters made each playthrough unique.
