Final Fantasy 7 is one of the greatest games ever made, and that is thanks, in large part, to the incredible narrative decisions made by its director, Yoshinori Kitase, and co-writer, Tetsuya Nomura. These not only shaped the narrative but also gave birth to some of the most unique and beloved gaming heroes ever created. Final Fantasy 7 has stood the test of time as a result of these decisions and has even led to an incredibly successful and critically acclaimed trilogy that more or less respects them.
