During much of the 1980s and 1990s, consoles lagged far behind personal computers in terms of graphics, sound, memory, processor speed, input devices, and storage space, and there was little to no practical support for networking. During much of the 1980s and 1990s, consoles lagged far behind personal computers in terms of graphics, sound, memory, processor speed, input devices, and storage space, and there was little to no practical support for networking. Final Fantasy VII, like most Japan's console RPGs (JRPGs), is a linear game with an intricate storyline and several prominent, well-developed characters, whose inner and outer struggles play out over the course of the game. Final Fantasy VII sold nearly 10 million copies and is widely considered one of the best JRPGs ever made. The monsters in Final Fantasy VIII level up along with the player's characters, gaining new skills and abilities.
