Really great article on the back story of Final Fantasy 7. Definitely my favorite 3d FF game..
Forgot to mention there is a trailer for the remake at the end. :P
I am only partway through this but I have enjoyed reading it during bits of downtime this morning. Polygon seems to so such amazing pieces, their one on Street Fighter II was quite cool as well.
