Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	This image is a screenshot from Final Fantasy VII, a role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft. The image portrays the characters Tifa Lockhart (right-front), Barret Wallace (right-middle) and Cloud Strife (right-back) taking part in a basic battle. Source: [1]
Author or copyright owner	Square
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	My own screenshot in the DuckStation emulator, using the software renderer
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Final Fantasy VII
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This image is a screenshot from Final Fantasy VII, a role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft. The image portrays the characters Tifa Lockhart (right-front), Barret Wallace (right-middle) and Cloud Strife (right-back) taking part in a basic battle. Source: [2]
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	The image is used to demonstrate the game's distinctive art style with relation to battles; this is an important aspect of the game, as navigation from one location to another (the main means of story progression) is interspersed with frequent random encounters and boss battles The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game The image is a small, web-resolution image The image is used to illustrate important characteristics of the game mentioned in the article, which conveys to the reader an idea of what they look like The image's only purpose is to aid in the description of the fictional world of Final Fantasy VII, and for no other purpose The image does not limit Square Enix's ability to sell the game This image is not replaceable because it illustrates an important feature of a late-1990s video game. The historical fact that there were no free RPGs of a similar kind during that time period precludes the use of an image from a similar free game. Further, any image not from Final Fantasy VII* would fail to achieve the same encyclopedic role as this File: to illustrate the revolutionary use of 3D that made Final Fantasy VII such a success. This single image of a video game respects commercial opportunities because it is an image of ordinary gameplay; thus, it is unlikely that someone would view this image instead of purchasing the game. This image is used once in the article, alongside several other images, which also illustrate other features that were created during the development of the video role-playing game. Each image represents a different feature and a different game, and thus omitting any one of those images would be detrimental to this article. Thus, History of Eastern role-playing video games uses a minimum of non-free images. Also, only one image from Final Fantasy VII is used, and it is low resolution, meaning that copies of the image will be inferior to the original game. This image comes from Final Fantasy VII, which was published in January 1997. This image is encyclopedic and meets the Wikipedia content standards for images. This image complies with the image use policy. This image is used in History of Eastern role-playing video games; thus, it is not orphaned. This image is used to illustrate the ground-breaking features that made Final Fantasy VII such a critical hit. It increases the reader's understanding on the role of 3D in the history of role-playing video games, and removal of this screenshot would be detrimental to the article's purpose. This image is only used in the article namespace. This image's page lists the source, developer, and publisher, a tag indicating that this image is a screenshot of a non-free video game, and a fair-use rationale has been listed for the two articles in which this image is currently used.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	It's a single frame that should only be necessary to show once on the Final Fantasy VII article.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
