Most influential Japanese game, certainly. Best? A matter of opinion, and really, there are other candidates among the JRPGs alone that would give FF VII a run for the title.
You really need to have played the game (or at least be aware of the general plot) to appreciate the movie, as otherwise it's little more than a glorified actionfest (not that understanding the story makes it much better, but it's something). The few nice touches (such as the ringtone on Tifa's cell, or the bands the cast carry) aren't enough to elevate this beyond mediocracy, at best.

Yea, the game and the blu-ray movie only costed me 60 dollars, and 15 dollars to ship it here. So no, it didn't cost me hundreds of dollars.

l wonder if they will keep to PS3, they can now easily go to PCs as well, like with FFXIV MMO being exlusively for PS3 and PC, but l think that eventually they will go to xBox later like with FFXI, even so, l think FFXIII could be ported easily to PCs, the Franshiese is too famous now to leave it only to USA and Asia, they totally ignore Euro with most of their titles wich is pissing me off.
l think that if you play FF7 on the PC (PSX version sux bad, way to easy mobs :P) and do every quest, you will find it that modern games LACK in storyline due to being extremely well made visually.
OFC Square -Enix is no exception tough their games still have a lot of story to tell, but tbh, l rarely find myself in position to enjoy long games since they are good looking but really are shorter than old times.
l think the longest FF game is FF6 (FF3 in US) and second is FF7, but if you compare, visualy and storywise, alongside with combat system and limit breaks FF7 is the best RPG ever made, l also enjoyed FF8 but l played FF7 like 20 times, l know every quest, every item, every materia, every summon, every mob, every skill, how and where, and if my PC wasn't "too fast" l'd stil be playing that game (l really can't the game crashes cuz it can't handle the hardware anymore, l consulted Square-Enix about that matter too, nothing can be done)

Seconded!
Probably the most amazing movie I've ever seen and also within my top 3 favorite games. When this movie first came out on dvd in America I got it the first day and watched it at least twice a day for nearly a year straight. When we got the 1080p Complete edition on BakaBT I almost had a heart attack and watched that like 10 times in the first week, lol. I haven't had a chance to buy the actual Blu-Ray dvd yet but I will sometime!

Yup, if you watch the movie before playing the game, then your judgment based on what you've seen is pretty much disqualified. Play the game, then watch the movie. Otherwise, don't say anything. FF VII is not a legacy for no reason, and the game already surpassed 10 million units in sales to date. It's the #1 FF title so far to manage to get that much revenue and sales to Square.
