Final Fantasy VII came to North America in September 1997 on three discs, with Sony as the publisher. It sold 330,000 copies in its first weekend there, and Sony said it had passed a million in North America by early December. That's why there are so many around. The first US printing is what collectors call black label, to set it apart from the Greatest Hits reprint, which carries a green Greatest Hits label on the left of the cover art. Both use the same disc serials, SCUS-94163 to 94165, so the cover is what tells them apart. A complete copy here means the case, all three discs and the manual. The original version has now sold over 15.3 million copies worldwide.
Before you plug it in
Should come with it
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
You need all three discs to finish it, so a copy missing one won't get you to the end. Check every disc for deep scratches, since the game reads from all three.

Buying guide
We'd buy the black label copy titled complete in box and tested at $80 delivered, close to the $74 median, or the Greatest Hits copy with its case, manual and all three discs at $50 if you only want to play it. There are at least 147 for sale and most ask $45 to $120 delivered, a band that mostly reflects cased copies. Black label without a manual asks about $48 to $52, Greatest Hits complete about $49 to $55, and black label complete $80 to $155. Both printings share the serials SCUS-94163 to 94165, so go by the front cover, where a green Greatest Hits strip down the left means the reprint whatever the title says. Count all three discs and ask for a photo of each data side, which should be black. Skip the cheapest copy titled black label, whose photo shows a Greatest Hits cover, and the $800 directory text misprint.
$34.95delivered
All three discs, titled tested and authentic, for $35 delivered, the lowest ask on a playable set. It's discs only with no case or manual, and the discs can't tell black label from Greatest Hits, so this one is for playing.
