The grand finale of Season One is here! Our coverage of the 1995-1997 “Generation Gap” ends with a blowout review of (nearly) every (English-language print) review of Final Fantasy VII that we could find.Starting with a quick look back at the first year of FunFactor, and discussion of what’s coming next, we then re-looked at the magazine we debuted the podcast with nearly a year ago, PSM No. 1. We then went on to review, well, all of these reviews:PSM 1: https://archive.org/details/PSM_Issue_001_September_1997/mode/2upUltra Game Players 102: https://archive.org/details/Ultra_Gameplayers_102_October_1997_U/page/n83/mode/2up The Duelist 21: https://archive.org/details/duelist-21/page/n105/mode/1upThe Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine 1: https://archive.org/details/Official_US_PlayStation_Magazine_Volume_1_Issue_1_1997-10_Ziff_Davis_US/page/n85/mode/2upEGM 99: https://archive.org/details/ElectronicGamingMonthly_201902NEXT Generation 34: https://archive.org/details/NEXT_Generation_34/page/n53/mode/2upGameFan Vol. 5, Issue 9: https://archive.org/details/GamefanVolume5Issue09September1997/page/n3/mode/2upGamePro 46: https://archive.org/details/GamePro_Issue_099_October_1997/page/n49/mode/2upEDGE 049: https://archive.org/details/Edge_Gaming/Edge%20Gaming%20vMagazine%20051/page/n65/mode/1up Game Informer 53: https://archive.org/details/game-informer-issue-53-september-1997Campus Life Magazine (partial text archive): https://cmnexus.org/magazines/Campus_Life/issuesAs always, we streamed this recording session live to FunFactor ULTRA members–so if you’d like to get in on the fun, just sign up at https://funfactorpod.com/!
