Final Fantasy VII was/is such an influential game. It was this game that sparkled my interest in programming because of its big, very helpful modding community that I stumbled upon. It started over 20 years ago and is still very active to this day:

What's more, new things are discovered almost every month - new game glitches, mechanics, new tools are being created to either lower the speedrun times or create mods to the game. I recommend anyone even remotely interested in this game to check it out.
