Well, after first playing Final Fantasy 7 I was a bit busy and didn't have much time for it then, and never played it again but after completing crisis core: final fantasy 7 I feel like I should play it again, now that I have more time on my hands.
I need everybody's opinion on whether I should give it another shot

EDIT: got it now and could people recommend some names?

If you wanna play it, go ahead. I'll serve the food if you want me to.

I don't see why you wouldn't, if you bothered playing Crisis Core, then you should play FF7. It's a pretty good game anyway, so I'm sure you will like it!

Yeah, you should play it again. FF7 is one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. It's a really fun game.

Sure, why not?
If I were you, I would give it a second chance

By the way, since this thread is about FF, and we have a forum dedicated to it, I'm going to move it there

[moved "Final Fantasy" forum]

so ive decided to get it, already downloaded it for my PS3/PSP so wish me luck!

also im gonna need some advice on names for all my characters.

If it were me I would put my own name as the main character and people that I like as the other characters. If you want to mix it up you can always name the characters after anime or manga characters you like, it all depends on the person playing the game. Again this is only my opinion name them whatever you like.

there really is no reason not to play it if you have it. Really is a great game in my opinoin

Stick with the original names, I've never understood why someone would want to change the name of the Main character, that's like changing the storyline.

Yeah, I have to agree with that.
The story writers gave the characters names for a reason, so why change the story, even if only a tiny bit.
It wont make the game any better. Though I suppose it wont make the game any worse in this case either...

probably too late now, but I'd change Aeris to Aerith just because that's her true translation and Aeris was a mistranslation. After I knew that, it just bothers me when I see Aeris instead of Aerith

its still open, if or when I complete im gonna play through it again with different strategies and with new names so its still open for discussion

Change cloud's name to storm. Get it? Well any way other than that I have no good or clever name's for any of the other people. I will work on some maybe.

Funny this thread pops up. I'm currently playing Crisis Core. Can't give you ideas on names since I use names that I've made up in the past. Maybe you can change them to what you feel a certain theme about them is. That's what I usually do.

Cyro Xero : ahhh crisis core, one of my top 3 favourite final fantasy games
also ive finished my first play through! seems like it took forever
so here are the names I chose this time around

cloud-cloud

aeris-aerith

tifa-tifa

barret-barret

caith sith-caith sith

RED XIII-RED XIII

yufie-yufie

I forgot to get vincent this time around but I'll remember to get him next time!
and so starts my second playthrough.

I were to play FF7 right now I would have a name for Red XIII. I own a techno CD from years and years ago. The first track on it is called "Storm Animal". I liked the song, and still do. Whenever I listened to it I always pictured a vicious, but intelligent wolf-like animal with sharp claws and teeth that cast powerful magic that created "storms" based on what color of fur was erect and pointing outwards (tan for sand storms, gray for severe thunderstorms, white for blizzard, reddish for fire storm and black for meteor storm). I enjoyed visioning it fighting and it became one of my favorite characters I've made up. Since then any game I've played with a wolf-like creature that was playable (and nameable) I've named "Storm". In fact, if I ever get a dog I'm going to name him Storm.

Maybe that will give you an idea of how to go about choosing names.
