You may remember a couple weeks ago we pit two videogame legends against one another: Samus and Master Chief. Samus walked out of the battle unscathed, grabbing a huge win from Microsoft's poster boy.
After Samus and MC scrapped, we showed you how billionaire superheroes get down when Batman took on Iron Man. After Bats was done with Stark n' Suit, Iron Man was reduced to a Shell of a man.
Now, for the third in the series, we present: Link vs. Cloud. It's Nintendo's most beloved vs. Square Enix's finest. We're sensing another hard-fought war along party lines… so let's introduce the competitors and get this thing started!
Final Fantasy VII 1997 exceeds 15.5 million units sold worldwide as of February 2026, reinforcing its legacy as the series best selling title.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Modern day publisher be like: "Failed to meet sales expectations. Pivoting to live service."
It's an absolute legend of a game. And I honestly really love how the remake trilogy is shaping up so far.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.
Baldurs Gate 1&2 were my games back in the day on PC. Icewindale and Neverwinter Nights as well
This is news?
As much as people love Link I don't think he has a chance. It's going to be a beatdown. Cloud is a beast in AC. If Cloud can beat arguably the greatest villain of all time, he can whoop Link's little elven a$$.
is it just me, or did they really gay up cloud in their description of him?? I don't think of his man-beauty, but his bad A buster sword!! Ign what the heck... Who wrote this??
Well, at least this article is better written that that "Master Chief beats all" article that got posted a few weeks ago (Too lazy to find the link). I think reading it actually killed some brain cells.
I'll can jump the debacle. Cloud would give Link a beat down. I can't beleive Link is winning with 65% on ign! I am assuming materia is fair ground, as Link would have his hookshot, bow and boomerang. Did anyone say "knights of the round"?
Poor link, we barely knew ye in all his cellshaded glory.
o did u 4get about nyrue's love(spelling) it dont take damage but cloud looks like a GOD in advent children and summoning O crap again link has goddess powers compared to summons dag I CAN'T CHOOSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: heres what my brother thinks "I am a fan of both FF7 and L.O.Z. but its gonna be BRAWL OF THE CENTURY until they go for the Finisher Omnislash vs Triforce slash and the winner is
Link because while Cloud goes to deliver Omnislash Link's Triforce slash stops you completely then he goes berserk with a barrage of slashes and the last attack of the Triforce Slash Link does the Ultimate Spin Attack (U.S.A.)
(though I will always respect Cloud) THE END."
