The "Reminisce of FFVII" does give you a quick run down of the story.

I was just going to say the same thing. If you want a run-down of the game, but don't want to play the game entirely through then I would recommend watching Remininse of FFVII as well.

I would play the game at some point though, while I don't think it's the end all/be all that other people say it is, it's still decent.
