    Oynadığım en zevkli combat bu oyunda olabilir. Sıra tabanlı combat'ın taktikselliği ile gerçek zamanlı kombatın doyuruculuğunun karışımı inanılmaz güzel hissettiriyor. Kızlar da güzel oyundaki

    O jogo é excelente, mas é linear. Isso pra RPG fica ridículo. Mesmo assim o jogo consegue ser muito bom e te prende do começo ao fim.

    The classic JRPG was turned into a stupid corridor arcade with minimal interactivity and primitive combat. All that's good about the game are the character figures.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a high-quality remaster of the original game, with improved graphics and new gameplay elements. The Intergrade version adds new content and a more immersive experience, making it a must-play for fans of the original and newcomers alike.

    Ich habe Cloud gerne durch die linearen Level gesteuert und bin gern mit Tifa und Astrit durch die Sektoren spaziert, das war immer wirklich sehr schön, wie die Charaktere reden, vor allem die beiden, die reden so kindlich und dabei kann man wunderbar runterkommen, für mich ein Spiel zum Entspannen mit einer schönen Geschichte für´s Auge.

    Gekämpft habe ich auch gerne, entweder einfach nur mit normalen Angriffen drauf und sobald ich dann ein oder zwei Balken hatte, habe ich gerne einen Spezialangriff oder eine Magieattacke eingesetzt. Wenn ich vom ganzen Buttonsmashing mal eine Pause brauchte, habe ich die normale Steuerung einfach vom Spiel übernehmen lassen und gewartet, bis die Balken für meine nächste Magiefähigkeit hatte.

    Die Beschwörungen fand ich auch extrem gut, vor allem den ersten Feuerdämon und die Limitangriffe waren ebenfalls cool. Im Kampf gab es auf jeden Fall immer genug zu tun, zumal man auch zwischen den Charakteren wechseln kann, ich habe sehr gerne Entfesselung, Y, X, X, X mit Tifa eingesetzt, damit habe ich alles klein bekommen.

    Generell nimmt sich das Spiel auch nicht so ernst, das ist wohl voll Final Fantasy und es gibt sehr viel Videospiellogik, auch wenn ich hiervor echt viele gute Games gezockt habe, ist dies mit eins der besten der letzten Jahre und ich freue mich schon sehr auf die ganzen Fortsetzungen und hoffe, das Gameplay wird auch für die kommenden Teile so bleiben oder sich mit dem von FF16 abwechseln, wird bestimmt sehr viel actionreicher, aber dieses entspannte Gameplay ist für mich jetzt voll Final Fantasy.    … Expand

    Good combat, great port. Stunning Graphics + Music + Performance.
    Also a nice story so far. The icing on the cake for me would have been slightly more moral ambiguity (kinda like the Witcher) because you're basically working for a terrorist organization and I feel there was slightly more potential in this topic.

    Much more than a “remake”.

    Final Fantasy VII has always been a lot more than a simple game in the well-known brand; as we know, it can be considered a franchise on its own, that has spawned different titles across various platforms and even CG movies, leaving some of those titles stuck in certain consoles for a very, very long time.

    Final Fantasy VII has always been a lot more than a simple game in the well-known brand; as we know, it can be considered a franchise on its own, that has spawned different titles across various platforms and even CG movies, leaving some of those titles stuck in certain consoles for a very, very long time.

    What Square-Enix calls the “Remake Project” I believe intends to produce a cohesive experience, taking parts and bits from all that Compilation work we know exists, and shaping it into a lot more than a mere “remake” because, without getting into deep spoilers, yes, “Remake” is a lot more than just what we may think, it’s a subtitle for the first game, which indicates the direction the story in the game is headed to, more so than alluding to being the original game, but remade, with modern graphics.

    Certainly, most of the stuff that happened in the original story for the Midgar portion, does happen in Remake, for sure, and it’s even greatly expanded with incredible results: Animation work is excellent on the characters, their facial expressions do tell a lot of their intentions without even the need to put it into words, and the English voice over is quite fantastic.
    These characters feel like they’re alive and they show their emotions pretty well and, if we pay attention, it’s an important part of the story-telling in this game, how the different characters interact with each other.

    Let’s get a bit into PC specific port details, and let’s be straightforward here: this amazing game deserves a better PC version. I’m not saying it runs badly or it’s broken in any shape or way, it runs pretty nicely on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti and, at 1620p DLDSR, certainly looks stunning and runs quite above 60 FPS at all times, but the PC port is pretty barebones: there’re only a couple Graphics Settings to choose from, and barely any performance scalability going from High to Low well…due to the lack of meaningful settings.
    I felt quite disappointed when the game initially launched, half a year ago, on the Epic Games Store, looking at the PC specific settings, and nothing has changed now, for the Steam release.

    Besides that, the price of the game is also quite insane for a standard PC digital edition: 80€ is not a common price among PC games but, fortunately, sales are a thing and there are various and official places to get games these days…so my advice is to look for the best price that suits your needs, no need to pay that much for a standard digital game when sales exist.

    One other amazing aspect in this game is the Soundtrack, which is absolutely incredible and I don’t think there’s any track in this game that I do not like, they’re all great, of course the expected favorites are still fantastic too and masterfully recreated for this game.

    Gameplay is pretty fluid and responsive and I never get tired of the slow motion mode when opening the menus in battle, it’s a nice effect, completely optional if we don’t want to use it…but it’s really cool and nicely implemented.

    Overall, I think this game nails down pretty well what I was expecting, and even surpassed all I could have thought of, in a good way.
    Knowing how the original story goes is a plus when playing this new game, it’s not really needed but surely rewarding to know all the backstory from the original game, especially when doing more play-throughs, you will end up picking up more subtle details that have been planted into this game’s plot and its characters, many, many references and subtle hints in here.

    It is a plot that leaves us with many questions, lots theories that we can think of, but the hints are all there in the game, and even more so for those who know all the stuff from the Compilation.

    The Intermission story is also very nice albeit a bit short, but it clearly shows a few improvements certainly fruit of player feedback, especially regarding combat mechanics: Yuffie is a great character in this version of the game and she plays great, especially in Aerial Combat, a low point in the regular campaign, for sure. Pretty thrilled to see what they do for the other characters we’ll get to play in Rebirth and beyond, they’ll surely add even more layers to the already solid combat foundation.

    I am excited for Crisis Core Reunion, knowing that they’re intentionally remaking the visuals for that one, to make it more in line with Remake.

    Would give a 10 if the PC port wasn't as barebones, but it pretty much is a must play game for fans of VII as a whole.    … Expand

    know that is personal preference, but i enjoy this game so much more with keyboard+mouse. Everything is just so smooth. Graphics look basically same as PS5 and that is fine by me. What truly matters on PC version is performance and it is pretty solid. People complaining about bad performance should maybe buy new GPU, because GTX 1060 is little bit old by now.

    This game runs well for me at 1440p on my hardware. I think the battle-system and graphics are truly amazing. The only downside is that it look so long to come to PC.

    I think it's incredible for such a classic JRPG to be given to a team to remake from the ground up into a semi-open world action adventure RPG. Normally I'm not a fan of companies iterating on old content instead of making new things, but I think the way It hews closely enough to the original to still get its message across while shaking things up in ways that are really interesting adds so much artistic value beyond just being a simple HD remake.

    In addition to the story, exploring the overworld was an artful mix of cinematic moments (most of which seem to be done in-engine extremely well rather than through pre-rendered video, which kept me from thinking 'ugh, another cutscene' the way I have in other cinematic games), relatively linear dungeonesque areas with item chests and sometimes occasional optional objectives hidden along the way, and semi-open exploration segments offering side quests and other points of interest. There were a couple of moments where I got a little tired of the dungeonesque areas going on for so long, but I think the game designers had a good handle on when to wrap them up and give you a break. All in all, traversing the game world was also an enjoyable part of playing the game. My only note is that the Chocobo transport system, which lets you fast travel, probably should've been introduced earlier on in the game. I know FF7R only covers a small portion of the original FF7, and the point at which Chocobos were introduced in FF7R is likely pretty faithful to FF7, but it was a little weird only unlocking fast travel at around the 35 hour mark of a game I spent 42 hours on, because you're not in Chocobo-accessible territory for very long after they become available to you. Running from place to place didn't take all that long, though, so no big deal.

    The battles were really fun and just the right level of challenging for me on normal difficulty in classic mode, where the characters automatically do basic actions (attacking, guarding, dodging) and you choose the abilities/spells/summons/items to spend your Active Time Battle meter on. I found the AI did a good job automatically controlling the characters for me, but classic mode doesn't prevent you from actively controlling the characters if you feel like you can do better! That was a really smart decision, because I enjoyed battling so much I controlled the characters more than the AI did. Any time I did poorly in a battle, the game made it easy to intuit what I had done wrong (typically I didn't exploit an elemental weakness, tried to dodge attacks meant to be blocked, or attacked enemies while they were set up to counter) and if there was ever any doubt, I could just use the Assess ability you can equip early on in the game to bring up enemy info, including weaknesses/resistances and sometimes tactical tips.
    I never felt under leveled, and I didn't go out of my way to grind for experience, either, which means the game designers did a great job in my opinion!

    I know there have been some complaints from content creators about the PC port being poorly optimized/ported, so here's my experience! I had very few issues with the graphics performance: I dropped the shadows from high to low, which allowed me to increase the FPS from 30 to a steady 60, and that was the only graphics setting I changed. The game is gorgeous and changing the shadow quality wasn't noticeable to me at all -- even turned down they still looked great -- so I wasn't missing out.
    There were extremely rare cases of stuttering, but when the game is 30 to 60 hours long (my first play through took 42 hours), a couple seconds' worth of frame skips is totally forgettable.
    I played on keyboard and mouse instead of with a controller, and I believe the default key binds here are definitely the weakest part of the port. Keyboard and mouse are almost certainly not the ideal way to play the game, but I made it through alright. The only real issue was the key mapping in the motorcycle battle segments which caused me to lose a couple of times when I probably could've first-tried them using a controller.

    Honestly, the game is incredible, and whether it gets a sequel or not (take your time Square Enix) I'm immensely satisfied with the experience! It's not just one of my favorite games of 2021, I honestly think it's one of my favorite games of all-time.

    (Update: After updating my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER's drivers, NVIDIA GeForce Experience insisted I could run the game with everything set to the highest settings at 1080p and 60 FPS. Bumping the shadows back up, given they were the only thing I had turned down, once again made stuttering occur more frequently for me, so I feel even more confident now in saying that turning shadows down may help improve performance tremendously with no noticeable impact on how nice the game looks    … Expand

Would recommend, if you know how to turn on DirectX11 mode manually (not inside game, because there's no option for it sadly).

    It's not perfect when you buy it (so they obviously need to patch it), but after messing with some settings (very easy), it runs well. I have seen countless way, way worse PC versions of AAA games over the years. FF7Remake kind of reminds me Resident Evil 4, it's very different game, but it has this similar vibe, where you have tons of unique, cool characters, villains, friends, epic looking bosses, buying stuff, upgrading your swords (guns in RE4) and also having this adventure feel, where you are not stuck in one place and you actually visit tons of unique looking locations.

    Stuttering can be pretty much fixed with dx11 fix, unless you want to have 120fps constantly, but i absolutely don't understand why anyone would care above 60fps in single player game (unless it's doom), but ok. Either way, it's better than PS4/PS4pro version and thanks to mouse/keyboard support, to me it's also better than PS5 version. Anyone saying that this game is "extremely buggy" has no idea what buggy means. I haven't encountered literally any bugs in 6 hours of gameplay. Stuttering is not a bug, it's different issue and it can be fixed with dx11 fix. What Cyberpunk2077 had, these were bugs.

I have heard some people call this dialogue cheesy, i disagree. I think it's actually refreshing that game has lighthearted dialogue. Not every game needs to be dark and depressing like "Max Payne 3" (and i'm saying that as Max Payne fan). I'm in Chapter 4 so far and it has been REALLY enjoyable. It's rare to have game that actually has so many likable and simply well written, nice female characters. In recent years in games like Last of Us 2 every female is basically completely bish and angry at everything and everyone. This Final Fantasy 7 Remake is extremely refreshing in that regard.

    Cloud seems to be kind of typical badass hero, kind of like Leon from Resident Evil series, but little bit different as well. Cloud clearly has some dark backstory and that's why he isn't "happy and all over the place". I like him as a main character. I have been life-long PC player and i swear, if it wasn't for this PC version, i would have never even tried this game. So now the problematic part. It's flawed release. idk why, but there is some stutter issue, why they released it like that, i have no idea. But it's obvious that they are going to fix it, they have to. How i pretty much fixed that stutter issue for myself was pretty simple, i just tried different fixed fps from Nvidia Control Panel, until i found the sweet spot. So depending on your system i would suggest just try different FPS caps, for example try 55fps or 50fps, 45fps, either way it's way over 30 and better than PS4 version. That's obviously not perfect, but that seems to be the best fix by now, until they patch it. So yeah when you change fps from Nvidia control panel, it overrides the one in actual game, so whatever you set in-game doesn't matter after that. Also price is absurdity for this game when it has some issues as well, but either way, i got it running smooth on my system, it looks visually very good, characters are likable and interesting, dialogue/voice acting is great and amazing soundtrack.

    If these issues wont bother you and you can get fps fixed for your system, it's way better experience than PS4 one. Let's not forget that Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC at launch was absolutely horrible, almost unplayable, very buggy, so FF7Remake PC version compared to that, is very decent, even Arkham Knight PC version at launch was million times worse and we all know that they completely fixed RDR2 PC version and it is definitive edition now. I'm expecting the same happen with FF7Remake. Overall great, fun game and yes, if you change some stuff in Nvidia Control Panel, it will be playable even without stutter.    … Expand

Maybe it's just my personal preference, because that's what i mainly use, but when i was playing ps4 version last year, i didn't enjoy boss fights with controller. Now with mouse and keyboard i can do everything so much faster, move faster, choosing spells, abilities is better, etc. Also just combat and looking around is simply better for me with keyboard and mouse, very smooth. So yeah while it's not worth the money, it is absolutely playable, looks great as expected and runs (at least for me) well enough. It absolutely needs some performance patches, but its FAR from unplayable.

    FF7Remake is without a question most important PC release of 2021. It's not even debatable. People who don't understand greatness of this game, don't deserve it anyway. This is masterpiece.

He has most epic blonde anime hair and most epic HUGE sword and you just smash all enemies with that EPIC HUGE SWORD and you look cool and epic all the time while doing it.

    Lmao people complaining about "muh graphics options". Yes, while it's nice to have more options, let's be real here, game runs extremely well and looks as good, if not better than PS5 version. Maybe that's the artstyle and graphics they want this game to go with. You can always make graphics "better and better" until it starts to look actually worse and lose it's original style.

Just like these overwatered GTA 5 mods that actually lose the original feel of the game. FF7Remake looks very good and that's all that matters. Cyberpunk2077 or Far Cry 6 can have million different graphics options to choose from, but if the actual game is trash, then i don't care how many graphics options it has. FF7Remake is actually good video game and that's all that matters and should matter.… Expand

    Square Enix did amazing job with this game. Absolute Masterpiece and way better game (in general) than the original version. Amazing art style, characters look so cool, combat is so much better. I hope Square truly takes their time with Part 2, there's no need to rush it. In fact, i'm hopeful that FFXVI comes before Part 2.

    This game is so, so, so much better than Cyberbug2077. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is actual art, while Cyberpunk2077 is just average undercooked McDonald's food. Would highly recommend FF7Remake, if you wanna have fun and experience something epic.

    Best game of 2020, and quite a good port. The game runs even on ancient PC's.
    I don't really understand those who downgrade it for the lack of the game in Steam or a couple of soapy textures. It's barely perceptible.

    Very good game, I recommend! The price isn't as bad as people make it seem. Its the same price as the PS5 version which came out a few months ago. Its $10 more because it comes with a DLC. It's worth it

    Let me guess, people giving it 0 out of 10 or even 3 out of 10 are people who actually never even cared about this game. Absolutely no actual FF7Remake fan would give this 0. There were also lots of losers giving 0 out of 10 for PS4 version, so maybe these are same people. Game is good btw.

Despite having PS4 version, i have been waiting for this PC version just so i could play it with 60fps and mouse/keyboard. I love that game and PS4 version was nice, but i simply enjoy playing with mouse/keyboard so much more.

    This game is very good, performance is actually very solid, there are multiple videos on Youtube showing that even with 1060 you can get 90-100fps @ 1080p max settings. There are some stutters at times (not all the time) when it loads certain areas, but other than that i had no issues with this game. Visually looks amazing.

    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.
