Now you won't have to pay over $100 for a physical copy.

PhantomExdeath: Conversely, this may lower the demand of the physical copy thus lowering the price of it. So it turn we may see more people selling there copies before the value goes down, and with more hitting the market, there is a better chance of me getting a physical copy at a decent price....

8bitlink: Thank christ i dont have to pay $100 to get this on ebay, playing it on an emulator on a computer wouldnt feel like gameboy so this is the perfect scenario.

We have forgotten what makes Final Fantasy VII one of the best games ever made.
samuraisnake: FF7's battle-system is turn based and not a hybrid turn-based action-rpg like FF12. It's easier to mange than Final Fantasy 12's (and by an extension, FF13's).
It's also easy to break the game, thanks to the Materia System and Limit Breaks.

darkhyrulelord: This blog tells me that I should probably look into this game. ....but I wasn't a fan of FF12.
Kenshiro3: I'm no psyche major but I'd have to say that its debatable due to the fact that MOST of his memories at that point while based on the person he idolized were in fact fed to him by Sephiroth. At the very least If he had delusions they were not delusions of his own making given how Sephiroth was manipulating his memories & personality up to that point. Cloud was essentially a puppet dancing to the strings of his memories and perception which were completely under Sephiroth's control.
samuraisnake: I've spoiled myself on Xenogears and have yet to beat it, but yeah, you're right. Fei takes the cake on psychiatric problems.
I haven't watched a whole lot of anime to learn about the described character archetype. Also, it's been a while since I studied Abnormal Psychology in college. Although it's mind control, , the behavior Cloud demonstrates at least resembles schizophrenia. But the part about Jenova being an influence on Cloud's made-up past isn't explained very well, thanks to a critical plot point that can be missed in Icicle Inn.
But here's a question: could Cloud be classified as having the Grandiose subtype of Delusional Disorder? He strongly insisted that he was a former First Class member of SOLDIER, up until Sephiroth broke him.

Kenshiro3: I don't really find Cloud all that outstanding. He's the anime archetype, of a character with a made up past. As for cloud being mentally ill... NOT HARDLY. MOST of the crazy stuff you named wasn't due to mental illness. They were induced by an outside force, not cloud's own mind. It was due to mind control. There's a difference between mind control & mental illness. Him sitting catatonic/comatose for ages THAT was mental illness. Cloud had his psyche shattered.
That said, In the Catagory of main characters with Psychiatric problems & an identity crisis, <a href="http://xenosaga.wikia.com/wiki/Fei_Fong_Wong">Fei Fong Wong makes Cloud his bitch...</a>
