It brings midgar to life, and it looks absolutely stunning. You can tell that a lot of heart went into developing this game. I found myself laughing a lot, and also crying. When a certain event happens it is more impactful, because of the amount of detail they put into characterization. You feel like part of the family.
   
   The combat is amazing. You're always on your toes. It never let's up in feeling exhilarated. You might also experience panic, when your health is low and you have no ATB to heal. At first you might think you can just press square, and everyghing will be alright. If you did that you'll probably die a lot. You need to assess the enemy, find it's weakness, and exploit it.
   
   The lighting in the remake is perfect. It makes everything more atmospheric. The same amount of care as gone into the lighting as the story and characters.
   
   The music is another thing I love in this game. The music fits perfectly with every scene, every fight, and even when you're just walking around. You can also buy the original songs from certain item shops and play it on the jukebox.
   
   Though the side quests, or odd jobs as they are called in the game. They can be a bit tedious and boring at time. But they exploration, characterization, they even give you in site on what some main characters and supporting character from avalanche did before you met them.
   
   All in all, this game was worth the wait. It's a fantastic, sad, enjoyable adventure. I can't wait for the second part.… Expand

The remake is the first portion of the original game due to how big the original game was. The developers really wanted to add to the experience that's why they've added so much more lore and events!
   
   The Remake has genuinely improved on the original by fleshing out the story and the characters especially! The music is something else too... some of the best arrangement I've heard in a long time!… Expand

   cons: theFINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE is one of the most enjoyable games i played this year but there are somethings that pissed me off such as
   
   cons:
   the weapon upgrade system if done manually is literal hell it took me so much time to upgrade a weapon i didn't want to do the rest so i did switch it to auto upgrade so that the game decides what upgrades you need between balanced more on attack or more on defense even when i really wanted to sit down and upgrade each weapon by my own means i didn't do it just because every weapon takes so much time to upgrade
   
   it really felt like a lot of moments in the game are deliberately prolonged just to make the game longer what i mean by prolonging is that cloud sometimes will walk really really slow just to talk or do stuff and you'll just sit there bashing the run button yelling at him to just run
   
   what really pissed my off right after i noticed the deliberated prolonging of the game is that the game is split into parts and that a year from now they'll just sell the second part for 60 bucks which is a real cash grab in my opinion they should've just released the full and complete edition and just charge more money because there are more than one disc but who cares right lets just buy everything separately
   
   the dialog sometimes is really cringy and goofy and sometimes feels out of place and there are moments where the goofy dialog completely ruins the moment
   
   performance issues such as frames not loading and when you start to interact with an NPC you gotta wait for the conversation to load so you'll just stand there doing nothing awkwardly so they gotta fix that
   
   but even after all those cons all i can remember is the good and awesome moments the beautiful graphics the astounding music the world building and just everything feels so alive i really fell in love with the game even with all its quirks its one of the most enjoyable beautiful and fun game i played this year which brings me to my final score which is a 9 out of 10 although i'm still mad at square enix about the whole episodic bought separately thing i still love the game and i cant wait for part 2… Expand

   First of all, most negative Reviews you see are people unhappy with the direction the Story takes in the Remake. They are extremely biased andFirst of all, most negative Reviews you see are people unhappy with the direction the Story takes in the Remake. They are extremely biased and not very objective.
   Aside some Chapters flashing out some Side Characters the game is faithful until the last 2 Chapters. At that Point you either hate the game with a passion, or you are curious were they will be going with this. I count myself to the 2nd group, yet i will try not to have too high expectations.
   
   Gameplay:
   The gameplay has about 4 things
   1.Battle
   2.Walking, Running and a bit of Platforming with Dialogue
   3.Cutscenes
   4.Minigames
   
   1. Not much to say, i had fun with it. Though there are thing i hope they work on.
   Camera (like in most 3d games, the Camera is your biggest enemie), Air Combat (flying monster were a pain without a ranged weapon), maybe better invincibility frames for the roll.
   
   2. Without interactions between characters, this would be hard to bear, good thing there are things that make the world feel more alive than the dreaded Tunnels of FF13. And to be fair, the Original FF7 was at least as linear as FF7R.
   
   3. Square Enix can do cutscenes, enough said.
   
   4. Wish there were more, or you could do most of them without playing through a bunch of story first, then again i had a blast with them.
   
   Presentation:
   Game looks gorgeous, just a few places were you just see the limitations of consoles (sometimes the resolution of the background is fuzzy).
   I love game soundtracks, a game with a bad soundtrack can be hard for me to enjoy, no problems here though. This game alone has a big enough Soundtrack that you can fill 7 CDs with it.
   Some are arragenments or remixes of the original FF7 Soundtrack, done by Masashi Hamauzu (hand picked by Uematsu) and Mitsuto Suzuki, both of them know for their Music in the FF 13 Series.
   I really like the cinematic approach they are taking with the music, also the transition from normal to battle. There are a bunch of new tracks, maybe missing the Uematsu charme, yet i could listen to some of them for hours.
   
   Normal price is okay for this game, if your own pace is about average you will spend about 30 - 40 hours on your first playthrough and about 50 - 60 hours for the platin trophy.
   
   Things that made me lower the score:
   - Camera and air combat
   - not much exploration, now that you have a map, you see how linear the game really is
   - oh please tell Normua and Toriyama not to make the storyline more complicated… Expand
