The best game in the world in my opinion is Final Fantasy VII
The story and the soundtrack blew my mind. And the graphics weren't bad when the game came out. And how they introduced Sephiroth was hectic. He became my favorite videogame character instantly when he was shown in your party and in some fighting scenes, where you had only seen your Cloud hit like 200 damage, Sephiroth would swing his two meter katana and deal like 3900 in one hit. That left a nice impression.
Also, his hair rocks. And I am not talking about the advent children redone hair.
