Welcome to Su fiesta lo espera!
My little fansite dedicated to the 1997 JRPG Final Fantasy 7 and it's many spin-off!
The site is named in honor of a translation mistake for the Spanish version, where the inn keeper told Cloud there was a sick party waiting for him on the second floor, when it's supposed to say his team lol
There's not a Spanish translation for "party" as in a team or group, only as in, well.... party, like birthday party.
It's a funny little mistake and it fits the site! As it's supposed to help as an introduction to the series, so it's like FF7 is party waiting for you to join it! Isn't that a so cool meaning that I totally intended from the beggining and not something that just came to my mind while making this
THIS SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, NONE OF THE LINK WORK YET
I made this place to compile, archive and share different cool things related to the series, official, fan-made and stuff I've made! But mostly fan-made.
Despite how famous it is, FF7's fandom is... scarse, I guess. A lot of it seems to be buried in the past and most of the stuff you come across on the surface is gameplay related or not that engaged. There's nothing wrong with that content of course! But I think i'd be nice to share some of the more fandom-y things? Like fanfic and the sort, that focus on the story of FF7, rather than the gameplay.
There's also (plans) to have an introductory guide for this long, messy franchise. AND YES YOU'RE INCLUDED PERSON WHO CAN'T OR DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY THE GAMES I GOTCHU
Well, I'm Rei! I'm a pretty closeted teen who was pretty much forced to be terminally online because of my enviorment (long story)
I discovered FF7 around 2022, thanks to a video where Cloud's character was briefly discussed, he caught my eye and I decided I'd get into this game somehow. The problem was... I don't know how to play games, and I don't really like them. I find games conceptually and (in a lot of cases) aesthetically fascinating! But my brain can't handle actually playing them, and I just want to enjoy the story you know? which can be hard when I'm worrying about winning, specially since I suck so much at it....
But well! how did I get into this wonderful series then? (I forgot that was the main point while explaining my feelings on game haha) Game movies! I started watching a game movie of REMAKE and made my way through most of the rest of the compilation! I haven't caught with everything, but I know most of it somehow.
I fell in love with FF7 because of its characters and themes. The characters are great both in the OG and Remake series, but I think Remake specially nails making them and their interactions extremely fun. You warm up to them real quickly and laugh a lot at their interactions, and as you uncover their complexity and depth, they become really interesting
I'm gonna go ahead and state this already, I don't have the deepest understanding of the characters, or anything, really. I wish I was like those people who make super long analisis and understand all their complexities, or at least have a solid interpretation, but nah i'm not smart enough.
The character who I understand the best is probably Cloud, since he's my favorite, and I don't mean it as in "he's my favorite ff7 character". No, Cloud Strife is my favorite character period. Fun fact, my wallpaper is a beautiful fanart of Advent Children of him!
As I said, the themes were also a huge hook for me, again, not the smartest so I miss out on a lot of things. But the things I do understand make me love this story so goddamn much. Corruption, enviormentalism and identity are the forefront of FF7, and at it's core lie discussions of mental illness, toxic masculinity, love and loss, all in game made in 1997!! Isn't that kinda crazy??
