I've played through Final Fantasy VII at least ten times since its release in 1997. Unfortunately, no matter how much you love making the journey beyond Midgar, the trip gets harder every year. The clunky controls, abstract graphics, and "active" time battles have not held up over the years, leaving fans with a nostalgic fondness for a game they can no longer enjoy. The creators of The Black Tower share that nostalgia, but acknowledge it's 2013 with their "neo-retro" homage to one of Square's finest, and PS1 RPGs in general.
