'Final Fantasy VII' Comes To Android: PS One Classic Finally Gets An Official Android Port [VIDEO]

By Peter de Jesus

While it is true that the Google Play Store is riddled with PS One emulators that allow gamers to play the classic JRPG, Final Fantasy VII on mobile devices, the actual, official release of the device for the Android operating system has only begun rolling out now.

Final Fantasy VII is one of the most popular titles in the long-running Final Fantasy franchise. Widely considered as one of best Final Fantasy games due to its intricate plot, its cast of unforgettable characters and its epic OST, many considered Final Fantasy VII as the pinnacle for RPGs in the 90s.

Though the game was quickly exceeded in graphics by succeeding titles, FF7 has aged well, with a huge fan base even until today. In fact, strong support from generations of fans has persuaded Square Enix to remake the game for the PlayStation 4. When the game was announced at E3 2015, fans of the franchise, as well as RPG aficionados, were immediately blown away.

In a lot of ways, the official Android port of Final Fantasy VII stands as a great way for fans of the title to revisit the classic title before its highly-anticipated remake gets released. Apart from bringing the game to Android devices, however, the official release of FF7 in the Google Play Store also comes with a couple of notable features.

Just like the game's release for iOS, PlayStation 4 and Steam, gamers on Android devices would be given the option of turning off enemy encounters, allowing players to enjoy the game's epic story without the intense amount of battles being fought along the way.

Also, the game comes with a max stats command, which enables players to bring the game's characters to their highest levels. Though this, of course, makes Cloud and the gang a tad overpowered, it does make traversing through the game's massive plot much easier.

Final Fantasy VII, which is arguably one of the best role-playing games ever made, is now available in the Google Play Store for $15.99. Due to the game's size, however, players are advised to keep at least 4GB of storage free on their devices.
