Final Fantasy VII is not exactly cyberpunk. The aesthetics are completelly different from Shadowrun or Mad Max

Going out in missions through Midgar was like I imagined it was to go through my nearby big city at night. The added technology helped the situation, but didn't create it.

Shadowrun is part cyberpunk and part fantasy. Mad Max is not cyberpunk at all, it's just post-apocalyptic.FF7 barely has a defined setting. Like Shadowrun it's got fantasy and cyberpunk elements, but it's far less of a coherent setting and more of a random mashup. It's got no real lore or worldbuilding that serves any purpose other than to prop up the plot, and completely fails to pull together its random patchwork of genres and locales into a believable world.

Cuckold clown that you are, ff7 is a defining source of cyberpunk. Cyberpunk is a very young genre, mostly, if not always done wrong. Same with steampunk, almost all works slap some gears of brass colour onto shit and call it steampunk.

It seemed to be late 90s atmosphere with more advanced robotics.>Dieselpunk
Nah it didn't have the post war vibe. It honestly was just the modern day at the time with mechs thrown in for good measure.Looking at screenshots of the original after playing both remakes as well as Crisis Core's master is depressing. We truly saw the plight of those fighting for the planet in Redos as opposed to the original and we got a better feel for the level of technology.

FF7 isn't remotely cyberpunk. The technological theme of the game is the environmental impact of industrialization.
There is no cyberspace in FF7.

Ff7 and Star Ocean 2 have my favorite pre rendered backgrounds of this generation. Just absolute sovl
