    80 € for a port of a game over a year old, that you can only get digitally and that won't even cost that much on the original platform?? I'm a huge fan of the original, finished it several times, played every spin off and even watched the movies out there, but no way I'm going to accept a 30 € spike on the price suddenly just because they are greedy

    A garbage game, with badly optimization, trash plot, soulless characters and monotonous gameplay.
    Disappointing on pretty much everything

    I have waited a long time and now the game gets a negative rating from me.
    The first reason is the price of 80 euros, which is much too much for this game.
    The second reason is the exclusivity at the Epic Store, that there is such a sales machine at all is a slap in the face!
    NO MONOPOLIZATION OF GAMES!
    Should this change I will of course change my rating.

    The problems: 1- Price, 2- Store exclusive, 3- Stuttering, 4- Lack of options for a pc game, 5- Force to resolution scale (just, why?), 6- History change from original, 7- Just a slice from original game, 8- Bad port. You must have a low IQ to buy this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After waiting decades, it's finally here, and it's pretty bad. All they had to do was remake the original with a few bells and whistles and that was it. Instead, they decided to turn the game into Kingdom Hearts.

    You can imagine the scene in the board room: "FF7 can be so much more than this!"
    The problem is that their writers are only capable of one kind of story: a Disney story. Fate vs freedom, light vs darkness - FF7 had elements of this but they take it way overboard into the most absurd territory, like there being physical manifestations of 'fate' that you fight. It's dumb. The original was so much more low key and interesting because of that. The truth is that the current writers can't make a story as good as FF7, or 8, or anything. All they can do is write this bottom of the barrel hack stuff about light and truth and hope and stuff. And because people continue to pick the games up with their pretty graphics, they delude themselves into believing they are talented and insightful writers. How long will their schtick last? Please not much longer. Really, who in their right mind would look decide the best route for the remake would be to 'correct' the bad things that happen in the original? I can't imagine what was going through their heads. The story is definitely the worst part of the game.

    The gameplay is just garbage. Spam spam spam, potion, repeat x100000 until game is finished. Same as FFVX. What is wrong with relaxed, turn-based combat? Or, if you're going to do action combat, can dodging and blocking actually be reliable? No. They made a system which is somehow at the same time fast-paced but totally unsatisfying and boring. I'm certain almost no one enjoys this battle system, even those who otherwise like the game

    The characters have been 'tuned' as well. Cloud is now Squall. Barret is now comic relief (he was funny in the original sometimes but it was unintentional). They tried to flesh out Jessie and Wedge which was nice I suppose, although Wedge ended up just being Homer Simpson. That's not what this game needed.

    The music was sound when it was based on the original's OST. Every other track was just forgettable electronic noise. Disappointing. They had a whole OST there just ready to go and they had to add loads of **** to it. Why?

    And the second worst aspect of this game: the padding. In the original game, Midgar lasts, what, 10 hours? They make Midgar last -the entire game-. It has to because this type of game costs so much to make. It has to look good, because nowadays that is basically the series' main selling point. But because it is so expensive to produce, they have to use what they do produce as much as possible. This means sending you back to the same dungeons, the same towns, to talk to the same people and fight the same monsters, again and again. That's not fun. And even if you avoid the (many) optional sidequests that they push you to do, you still have to return eventually because the story routes you back there.

    It's also sad how they handled Sephiroth. They knew that if they went this route of dragging the story out, there would be no way to build up the tension between Cloud and Sephiroth. In the original, it's a slow process of learning about Sephiroth and his relationship to Cloud, his plan, and so forth. You basically don't know **** about him for a long time. That's no good for this game. By dragging out the pacing, they've had to artificially speed up the development of Sephiroth into antagonist. Towards the end they just shove him in your face, and you base your knowledge of him on a few quick cutscenes. In the original there are many long bits of exposition about Sephiroth. And it's only after a LOT of that that any real confrontation even happens with him. And that's why he is one of the most memorable villains. In this one, they rush the exposition and force you to fight him early - they ruin his character totally.

    Lastly, the graphics, although they're nice (Tifa looks good) - they're just the wrong style for a fantasy JRPG. They've been doing this since Advent Children. It should be more cartoony. It's easier and cheaper to make and suits the game more.
    Also, the art direction is bad. Why the hell is Midgar so bright and chirpy? In the original it is dark and dingy. There is little/no natural light. In this one there are plants, flowers, kids laughing, and everything is basking in the morning sun. Blue skies, clouds, birds. It is everything Midgar should not be. It was a dark dirty slum with only artificial light. Shop signs, lamps, yellow artificial light. You feel the bad conditions of the people living there, making Shinra all the more selfish and villainous - the old art direction actually drove the story in this way. Now they've done a complete 180. Why? I guess so people can see the pretty 3D models they made. Unbelievable.

    The only plus side is occasional pleasant sparks of nostalgia. That's really all it gives, and rarely at that.    … Expand

    I.. don't understand any of these high reviews. The game on console has more graphic options and not only runs poorly on PC, as many many consumers have reported, the price is heinous and the support for the game and communication around it was PURPOSFULLY misleading. Are the people who bought this trying to make games worse in the future? stop it. just asking you to stop it please?

    -The mechanics of character stats and weapon stats are good. But honestly, as a gamer, I don't care about that too much. I hope it's simple enough and works for me.
    Bad things:
    -SquareEnix is ​​too greedy and delusional about the price of this game.
    - New gameplay but not great, very shallow to be a real-time action game. You spam a button to attack and a button to command. Parry and dodge is the joke in this game.
    - The map and enemies for the first few hours of the game are impressive but then you find it a boring loop and you wonder why you spent time on all that crap. Bad mission design.
    -The story in the game is a silly and incomplete patchwork. They even want to cut it into 3 parts to get your money for $210 from an original game that was completed over twenty years ago. Honestly, twenty years ago, the story it conveyed might have been a cliché and flashy tale for teenagers, but now it's become shallow and silly, flashy.
    -The PC port is a disdain for PC players, it doesn't have the most usual settings to tweak, even Full Screen mode. The $70-80 fee is more expensive than all the AAA games these days but it's a stuttering mirco game, which is a disdain for customers.
    Summary:
    The game is quite good, the price to pay is too high compared to its real value. story like a teen anime movie. Don't buy for 70-80$.
    Finally, if you want to remake a game, stick to the original story. Or make it completely different and interesting in the first place. Don't create a ridiculous patchwork and treat it like a trendy half-plot.

    History-wise, the battle system and all the specific FF7 features are nice and it really shines on this remake, but the port was poorly done, the frame rates drop and the lack of graphics setting options are disturbing. For this price point, I would expect nothing less than. A perfect product fully developed and with no flaws and unfortunately, that's not what happened here.

    This will be a tad longer. First of all, the original did an exellent job of portraying everything. This remake is... going too far. What I mean by that? Infinite, impossible highway chases, boss fights, over the top maps, overcomplicated scenarios. If something was 10 minutes in the original, in this remake, it takes about 5 hours. At best. And while at the beginning it could be fun, it gets very, very, very, very slow and frustrating later down the road. After 20-30 hours, you realize; this is anything but FUN. You will realize; the devs and writers took the orignal material, dipped into shít sauce, and released into 3D madness. Sure, it's entertaining in the first 10 or 20 hours, but then, you get bored real quick. Why? Because all the extra content, all the extra difficulty; it doesn't belong in this game. This is NOT Final Fantasy VII. This is something far fetched, shítcoated, feces born remake of the original godlike game you used to love.

    Music: it's ok, they just remastered the original OST

    TLDR; don't buy it. It's not worth your time. Torrent it, if you are curious (like I did), but don't expect too much. The original did a 100% job, if you skip this, you lose NOTHING.    … Expand

However, it is not perfect, not the perfect Japanese's way of intricacies. For example, if one of member has fallen (unconscious), but he/she will be conscious for the midway cut-scene!

    As for the porting, impression to me is, it is comparative to Dark Souls' PC port back in 2012, a low budget and rush job. First launch of the game: the mouse cursor disappear, this really gave me a dejavu of 2012's Dark Souls PC version.

    As I proceed on to play with the game, every settings max on my new RTX3060 laptop (6GB VRAM). There were some stutters, but quite surprisingly the framerate still maintain@120fps. However, I also notice textures look flat, jagged or blurry edges on my 27 inch 1440p monitor. After some research, realize it is due to Dynamic Resolution. First thing came to my mind is, Marketing Lies! Lying about: system's specs. With the recommended specs, my laptop clearly "overpower" (except for VRAM, I will come to this next), of course the settings are maxed out : 1440p@120fps.

    After hours of tweaking and help from modding community, realized 8GB VRAM is essential for the game to run on DirectX12. With my 6GB VRAM, and plus helps from mods, finally I can play the game with 95% framerate stability at 1440p (consistent) @60fps via DirectX11, Shadow set to low without HDR. Yes, shadow set to high will exceed 6GB VRAM and thus cause stuttering. And with DirectX11, VRAM required by Texture's setting to high still maintain within range.

    To conclude, -1 pts for marketing lies (system specs); -1 pts for lack of UI settings (DirectX option, graphic details option, etc.); -1 pts for lack of VRAM optimization for DirectX12; -1 pts for depending on external parties (mod communities) to fix prior mentioned issues; -1 pts to charge at the price of a complete AAA game, which is obviously not, based on my 30 years of PC gaming's experience.    … Expand

    This game is so padded out, and badly ported that it I cannot do anything else other than give it a zero for now. The pricing also doesn't help the score. Incredibly disappointed with the port and game as well.

    DO NOT BUY IT!!!
    This is a total disaster. Nearly everything is bad : **** changes to plot, awful (compared to original) combat system, optimization is absent. It's god damn half of first cd of original. Not even 1/3 part of a game.
    Only good thing is main character models amd cut-scenes, all other objects lacks texture quality.

    Epic game exclusive, they take a cut for excluvisity deal, they only pay 12% fees in Epic launcher and they still went and priced it at 80€ (that´s 90USD) when the PS5 version which is basically the same version is only 40€. Square really really want squeeze the PC community. The port is bad. Don´t buy this game at this price. It should be 40€, why put up with this blatant robbery?

    It's hard for me, an ex-diehard Square stan, to review a game like this on so many levels. A lot of my formative years involved Square games. FF1 through 9, Chrono Trigger and Cross, Secret of Mana, FF Tactics, Super Mario RPG, heck, even Parasite Eve. Back in the early- to mid- '90s, it seemed like Square had the Midas touch.

FF1 through 9, Chrono Trigger and Cross, Secret of Mana, FF Tactics, Super Mario RPG, heck, even Parasite Eve. Back in the early- to mid- '90s, it seemed like Square had the Midas touch. So whenever news of their work would appear, I'd get very excited. I still remember my first glimpse of FF2/4 in Nintendo Power, close to a screenshot of Battle Dodgeball with a chibi Ultraman or something. A tiny screenshot, a fight against Ice Beasts in the tower of Zot or Bab-il, in a magazine from July of 1991. I remember the feels. The promise of excitement, the seemingly infinite potential of 16 bits. Square totally delivered on that promise, and kept delivering for a really long time. Squeenix can still dangle some quality IP carrots in front of me, and the compulsion to taste the forbidden vegetable remains. There's an absurd amount of high quality games in their back catalog.

    That's what makes this review so painful. FF7 Remake makes me feel very different feels from that 1991 Nintendo Power snippet, or the feels from first starting up the original FF7. I don't feel hope and excitement for the future, I don't imagine the infinite possibilities video games can offer. All I feel is mild shame and regret that my almost middle-aged ass needs to cut ties with one of the formative entities of its youth.

    To save everyone some time, I'll just list the stuff I dislike from the game. I am a '98 PC guy, so she's Aeris to me.

    In somewhat chronological order, I do not like:
    - Jessie's unwanted advances and persistence;
    - how Sephiroth is introduced;
    - the dementors;
    - the sidequests and "changing water filters";
    - the new Johnny;
    - Chadley;
    - that Cloud doesn't have a hangover after getting paid;
    - the motorbike section, it's way too long;
    - Roche, he's pointless;
    - that there are other, more moderate branches of Avalanche, it makes Barret look like a psycho extremist;
    - turning off the solar lamps;
    - Cloud almost beheading Reno;
    - that everyone and their uncle in sector 5 keeps telling me how sweet Aeris is;
    - Kyrie;
    - Mireille;
    - helping kids (in the game; in real life I'm indifferent to helping kids);
    - Butch, Beck, and Burke;
    - that we need to see them more than once;
    - the robot arm "puzzles";
    - running from one of the Wall Market's map to the other just to pad for time;
    - Wall Market's new song;
    - the Hell House fight;
    - the sewers and the pump mini-game;
    - the ghosts in the train graveyard adding playtime, yet nothing to the story or Aeris' characterization;
    - Aeris walking slowly during the plate bombing crisis;
    - Wedge surviving falling from the pillar thanks to his grappling hook;
    - Wedge surviving a city falling on top of him;
    - that Tetsuya Nomura - a man over the age of 50 - seemingly kept Wedge alive just to make fat jokes;
    - the game undermining the shock and inhumanity that the destruction of Sector 7 conveyed in the original by saving most of its residents;
    - the generic bad guy music that plays in the president's office instead of his soothing classical music;
    - the Cait Sith cameo;
    - Barret shooting rocks (who came up with this one?);
    - Elmyra telling the team to not rescue Aeris;
    - Aeris seeing the future and becoming an exposition machine;
    - Leslie and the incredibly stupid plan to get help from Don Corneo;
    - the purple ooze instead of blood;
    - that Barret - previously established psycho extremist Avalanche guy - saves his mortal enemy, the president of Shinra, from falling to his death;
    - president Shinra dying 30 seconds later for "reasons";
    - Sephiroth's buildup being so weak;
    - Sephiroth's motivation being undefined;
    - Barret getting stabbed and then magically surviving;
    - basically anything that happens after this point.

    I don't think any of these are particularly spicy takes. When the game constantly reminds me how terrible the new content is, how much better and more efficient the storytelling was 25 years ago, it's hard to think of this as a good game. I blindly supported Squeenix for literal decades, spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on their products, so this just hurts. Is this what they think of their fanbase? Is this what they think of ME? I've been in this toxic relationship for too long, and FF7 Remake just demonstrates how much we've changed and drifted apart in the past 15-20 years. They can still produce some decent stuff - they co-developed NEO: TWEWY, at least - but when the majority of their products are buggy remakes of great games - i.e. making their old games worst - I just have to reevaluate my life choices and cut my losses. I'm sorry Squeenix, it's not you, it's me. ... Who am I kidding, it's you, you suck.    … Expand

    The PC version already has the improved textures from the PS5 version, but sometimes you'll just notice crappy textures, environments or NPCs that haven’t fully loaded yet, and of course image tearing in some not-so-frequent moments. The PC version is good, but personally I'd reach for the PS5 version which just runs smoother. [Issue#317]

    FF7R is a fantastic reimaging of the iconic title. Refusing to classify itself as a nostalgia act, it expands upon the original narrative in new and exciting ways. The combat system has a seamless fluidity to it, allowing for engaging and entertaining gameplay sequences. Artistically, FF7R retains the level of quality players have come to expect from Square Enix, but it does falter ever so slightly in some environments. The updated rendition of the classic OST is outstanding from start to finish, with the sound design team matching it in every regard.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is a visual marvel, and the environment focussed story is perhaps more relevant now than ever. The slick gameplay and new story twists make the game worth playing even for old school fans. The game does overstay its welcome, however. And the sidequests are a bit bland. Luckily, the Intergrade chapter largely fixes these complaints. If Square Enix stays that course, then Rebirth promises to be great.
