This is my little reveiw on the game. You are Cloud. Yes. Cloud. You first start off getting off this train, and then getting attacked by two guards. Anyway, you are part of Avanlanche, a group who is planning to blow up the Northern Mako Reactor. Later in the game, you meet up with the some other characters. Anywho, your main purpose is to save the Planet by: Destroying Shinra Inc., and the Mako Reactors, defeating Sephiroth, and stopping a giant meteor from smashing into the Planet. Sounds fun, eh? well, enjoy, because this is one of the top 15 best games. So believe me when I say it's good ^_^ Whew, that's my reveiw!

I'm going to list all of the main characters, like the ones you play with.

1. Cloud, the main character, the one you play the most.
2. Barret, the next main character.
3. Tifa, the first female you meet.
4. Aeris, the second female.
5. Sephiroth, the bad guy.
6. Cid, the cool dude.
   
   
   7. (forgotten before, and I apologise) Red XIII, the project.

There are more, but they are characters that aren't that inmportant. There is one other that will make an exception, and that would be Cait Sith. He has an important roll in Final Fantasy 7, so I guess I'll show his picture too.

      8.     Cait Sith, the fortune-telling cat. (yeah, we all know how THOSE fortunes will come out...) 

Well, that's all the main, main characters.

All you FF7 owners out there should try this!  Go to any point in the
game with an FMV sequence (such as starting a new game--the part where
Cloud runs up to the Makoro furnace).  Open your PS and put in another
disc.  When you continue playing (the game won't crash) the FMV sequence
will be replaced with one from the disc!  (Using the last example, put
in Disc 3 and you'll see the sequence with the stone pillars rising from
the center of the last level; it's the same bit you see after killing
Jenova Synthesis before fighting Sephiroth for the last time.)

What's really weird is that you can keep playing the game with another
disc in your system!  I beat the whole first part of the game and the CD
would load up the various levels!  I don't know for sure, but I guess
that means that the ENTIRE game is written on each disc (barring the FMV,
obviously)!  If you want to verify this, try starting up a save file from
disc 3 and replace it with, say, the first disc.  You can do the
submarine/snowboard sequences, or go to any place you couldn't go to in
the first disc--and all the data loads up!

Going back to the trick, though, you can try this anywhere, and you
usually get cool results.  For instance, near the end of Disc 2, the
Weapon monster rises up from the sea and attacks Midgar City--and gets
decapitated by the Mako Cannon.  I switched to the first disc before
viewing the FMV and saw parts of the intro, and some parts from the
FMV during/after --edited for spoiler resons--!  If you're fast, try switching the
discs during the opening FMV when you start a new game; with Disc 2
inserted, it showed some more FMV of Aeris (this is when you return
with Buugen Haagen to the Ancient City).

Even stranger is the fact that you can still see text/graphics over the
FMV in some cases, such as Cloud and the Avalanche member running
offscreen just after the furnace explodes near the start of the first
disc, or Cid talking to Cloud on his phone during the part where the
Weapon attacks Midgar City (of course, this is over the FMV from the
disc you've chosen).  And as I mentioned before, you can play normally
after the FMV is over, even with the other disc in your PS!

Sorry PC users, but this only works for PS.
