    En mi opinión este remake supera en todo al juego original. En lo gráfico obviamente, en la profundidad de los personajes y sobretodo en lo jugable: que, en mi opinión, es la mejor. No solo entre los final fantasy sino entre los videojuegos en general.

    This is simply one of the best games ever made, the visuals and the story is amazing, the characters are written so so good, implementations of side quest is top notch. The only thing I can complain of is that the Story isnt finished in this game and there will be sequels but this game can also stand as a stand alone (its like Infinity war and Endgame yk what I am saying?)

    I do recommend this.

    The first FF i actually finished and the story was pretty interesting with well-crafted side characters throughout and a likable main in Cloud who was a more layered character than I anticipated being. The gameplay is fun and engaging with the party system and the graphics/performance are stellar. Voice acting is great too. Only complaint is game did feel like it

    This is the best kind of compromise for people who likes turn base game play.
    The Materia system allows for deep customization. you have a party system and can switch between your party members as indented for a FF game.
    The Ghost plot makes no sense.

    This is the best remake I've ever played.
    I loved the old Final Fantasy VII back in the days and due to the many changes - mostly due to the removal of the turn-based combat system - I was very skeptical and didn't feel any interest in playing it. A couple of months ago I somehow stumpled across the game, gave it a try and binged through it like I haven't in a long, long time.

    My introduction into the world of Final Fantasy.
    I'm actually speechless, this game is absolutely incredible. it's bigger and better than the original in every possible way, a huge improvement when it comes to the visuals, gameplay, animations, character models and pretty much everything you can think of.

    I'm actually speechless, this game is absolutely incredible. it's bigger and better than the original in every possible way, a huge improvement when it comes to the visuals, gameplay, animations, character models and pretty much everything you can think of.

    I'm going to start with the gameplay first, well what can I say, oh my freaking god, arguably the best combat system i've ever seen in a videogame to date, the mix of Turn Based with Real Time Action is honestly flawless, it works perfectly and it feels very satisfying. The materia system is amazing, there is a lot of customization, it's easy to use and understand and makes the combat so unique and enjoyable. Also the boss fights are insane, there are so many of them, and they are quite challenging, you can't really play mindlessly and expect to win easily, you actually need patience and strategy to beat them, and I really liked that.

    Now when it comes to the characters, I think they're great, they have likeable personalities and slowly develop pretty well, their designs are fantastic and memorable, and you really get to bond with them which makes you feel like you're part of the team.

    It's worth to mention that the game is actually very big, the world feels alive despite being limited, you can just get lost in it. There is a lot of content, side quests, various minigames, VR missions and rewarding activities, so many things to do and places to explore, it's a pretty long experience and it's also very replayable, trying out new builds and doing the challenges is very fun.

    As for the main story, it starts pretty tame but things go wild quick, and even though it drags quite a bit later on, there are so many spectacles in it, some of the cutscenes are just cinematic masterpieces, everything looks gorgeous.
    The only issue I have with the story is the writing and some of the dialogue, it's pretty interesting for the most part, but it can get quite weak sometimes, some plot points aren't explained well and don't really make sense either, the story is clearly unfinished and I'm hoping the sequels do a decent job at explaining few things. I respect the fact that the writers managed to surpass our expectations by altering parts of the overarching story, it's a very risky but ambitious thing to do, and I really want them to nail it and achieve their goal. Overall I like the story a lot, and I believe that it's only going to get better from now on, I'm very excited to see how everything turns out in the end.

    Lastly, I really need to mention the stellar soundtrack, it's just so beautiful, one of the most iconic and magical soundtracks in a JRPG ever.

    It really is an outstanding videogame, It's not only an improved version of the original Final Fantasy VII, but it stands on its own very well. I would go as far to say that this is the definitive Remake, and the best Remake I've ever played.

    Final Rating: "Excellent" ~ 9.5/10.

    Seriously amazing remake and easily improves on original. Original was fantastic game in 1997, but it's obvious that it needed and deserved well made upgrade and that's exactly what this first part of the remake trilogy is. Top-tier voice acting, great boss fights (also boss designs are very good), beautiful music and very good story. Can't wait for Part 2.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake was my first game in the series and... oh boy, where do I begin!
    The story is good in my opinion and even though the ending is divisive, I liked it personally and I think that it's too early to criticize it.
    The characters are some of the most engaging and likable characters I've seen in a while, and even some minor side-characters surprised me a lot.
    The combat system is excellent! It's like a combination of Hack 'n' Slash & Turn Based at the same time, there are 4 completely different party members to control, tons of different skills, items and builds to use, it's deep, organic, it feels awesome and it looks phenomenal! The RPG elements are executed well and the Materia system is just wonderful.
    The bosses are some of the best I've ever encountered in a videogame.
    The music is fantastic for sure and it fits the visuals perfectly, and the visuals are breathtaking; the lighting, the animations, the textures and the setting are some of the best I've seen in a while.
    Lastly, the set-pieces and the visual representation are absolutely top-tier! Some cutscenes look like they are out of a CGI movie and there are so many jaw-dropping moments.
    I do have few minor complaints with the game though; the textures look bad at times, some chapters feel significantly longer than they should've been, and the side-quests are uninteresting for the most part.

    Pros:
    + Interesting story
    + Awesome characters
    + Flawless gameplay
    + Incredible music & boss fights
    + Absolutely gorgeous visuals & set-pieces

    Cons:
    - Inconsistent texture quality
    - Pacing issues in some instances
    - Weak side-quests

    Narrative: 7/10
    Gameplay: 10/10

    Final Fantasy VII Remake isn't just a masterfully crafted Remake, but it's one of the best videogame experiences I had in a while and one of my favorite games on the PS4.

    I was concerned the magic of the original game would be lost in this effort.
    I was wrong. The game is excellent and very well polished. While the new 3d mechanics will never be the same as the old sprite animations and 2d transition screens, those technologies are part of the past.

    If I have to move a critique, would be too many cutscenes. I remember when I was a kid, cutscenes were my favorite as they were such great video quality compared to the game.. they were also few and far between. That is no longer the case, but perhaps younger players appreciate them.

    The combat was challenging without being frastuated , the graphics was amazing and the story terrific. On the downside, the classic boring side quests something which is very usual to rpg games.

    The story starts out really strong, but loses itself in the middle of it until roughly chapter 14, when you realize that there's no way that all the lingering questions that have been built up until this point will be resolved within the remaining 4 chapters. And turns out, that's exactly what happens. The combat is stretched out to cover for the fact that they don't want to reveal too much lore so they can make a trilogy. Even without knowing that, you can tell, and that doesn't speak for the game.
    However, I still had a good time. I just wish we would have gotten a more complete experience.

At the time of writing this, I was upset that the game was diverging from the story I loved. Now I am very excited to see where it goes.

    -----

    Loved this game until I started to realize what the 'whispers' actually represent and saw the ending. This is not a remake. It is a Re-imagining. A Retcon. Nothing more than a way to disregard the original story and insert some Kingdom Hearts-esque garbage into the universe right in the final moments. Such a damn shame. I just cannot fathom why Square would allow this. Fair enough they wanted to make it fresh but the ending itself literally makes the events of the game pointless, classic Rian Johnson-type subversion. Make the player think it's following the same story, with little extras that don't impact too much, but oh wait it seems these little extras are trying to stop the original story from being changed.. last scene.. oh.

    It's almost as if the 'Plot Armor Ghosts' are Squares representation of all the hardcore purists that wanted what they were made to believe they were getting. A massive slap in the face.

    The game itself is a marvelous technical achievement, the amount of detail in Midgar is staggering. I wouldn't call it an amazing RPG in terms of things to do, but at least they respected the source material right until it starts to unravel. My main criticisms with the game are that the camera can be awful at times, especially when using lock on. The combat is great unless you're in a tight space. There are very few combinations of gear/materia that are actually worth using in the endgame. Some of the backdrops in the latter 3rd of the game are very low quality, almost like awful Jpeg's. Some areas of the game take too long and can become a bit tedious.

    I was ready to give this game a 9/10, even with the issues it has, until I saw the ending. I am afraid but also a bit excited of what this all represents for the future installments in this 'remake'.

    If you read this far without voting down, congrats. This wasn't what I was expecting, and after a couple of days of processing what I've seen, I am quietly excited about what it means for the future. I am sad that the story of FFVII may not be retold exactly, but at least we always have the old game to play if we want to. The only thing I ask, is that Nomura doesn't go too far with his changes. What he did in this installment was far enough.

    I played the original game 4 times, and i think this remake is outstanding. I give it a 9.3 points in total. I give a 10 points in Metacritcs to compensate the unfairly bad scored critics. This game, understanding it as an modern JRPG, it can´t possibly be rated less than with 8 points. Range between 8 and 10 is a matter of taste. Despite minor flaws, Its a masterpiece of our times.I played the original game 4 times, and i think this remake is outstanding. I give it a 9.3 points in total.

    --Story: 9 points - Core story of the original game is there, and is amazing. This remake takes that, and expand it with good script, character development and stunning cutscenes. Sometimes extra added story is overextended and slow, but doesnt change the general quality. Changes from the original don't change the real essence of FF7, and for the re-players like me, its fresh and exciting to see whats next.
    --Graphics: 9 points - Despite some textures problems, and a bit too long loading times, its the peak of this generation in terms of graphics. Version for next generation/PC will solve those minor problems.
    --Music: 10 points - This game has the best arranged OST ever in a videogame. Period. Original tracks of Uematsu are brilliant and they made them fit perfectly in the scene. Most of new themes are not as good as the originals, but fit quite nicely.
    --Gameplay: 9 points - Combat is exquisite, challenging at times, addictive, exciting. Best fusion of classic turns and action.Good weapon development and materia system. Many extra thing to complete but without being overwhelming.

    Doesn't matter if you played the original or not, if you like JRPG or not. Play it. Its a MUST.

Cloud's voice acting was solid too, it wasn't anything special, but it was exactly what it needed to be.

    Boss fights were amazing, music was something i would actually listen in my free time and i rarely listen video game soundtracks, graphics were good, not phenomenal, but still very good.

You like epic story, lots of cool characters and boss fights? Try this game.

    Every thing is good, from the combat system to storyline. Make you feel like watching a movie and having power to actually intervene with the plot. The only let-down is that the game still bears the love traditional of the FF franchise: the main character is never granted the love he/she deserve at the end.

After having the experience with Final Fantasy 16 in 2023 I think this review still holds up as a 9 for this game really the only bummer I had with this is the side quests being rather boring.

Este jogo magnífico conseguiu capturar a essência do clássico original e elevá-la a novos patamares de excelência. Com gráficos deslumbrantes, uma trilha sonora espetacular e uma jogabilidade aprimorada, ele traz à vida o mundo cativante de Midgar de uma forma que nos deixa maravilhados.

    Uma das maiores conquistas do Final Fantasy VII Remake é o cuidado e o amor pelos detalhes que transparecem em cada cena e cada interação. Os personagens são retratados de forma vibrante e emotiva, com expressões faciais e movimentos que revelam sua personalidade e profundidade. Cada local, desde as ruas movimentadas até os ambientes mais sombrios, é ricamente detalhado, imergindo o jogador em um mundo rico e envolvente.

    A narrativa do jogo é uma verdadeira obra de arte, com uma história complexa e envolvente que nos leva por reviravoltas emocionantes e momentos de pura emoção. Os diálogos são bem escritos e os personagens têm suas motivações e arcos cuidadosamente desenvolvidos. A maneira como o jogo combina momentos intensos de ação com momentos mais calmos de exploração e interação é perfeitamente equilibrada, mantendo a nossa atenção e nos deixando ansiosos para descobrir o que acontece a seguir.

    Além disso, a trilha sonora do Final Fantasy VII Remake é absolutamente fenomenal. Desde as músicas icônicas que todos conhecemos e amamos até as novas composições que se encaixam perfeitamente no clima do jogo, cada faixa é uma obra-prima musical que nos envolve ainda mais na experiência. No geral, o Final Fantasy VII Remake é uma homenagem incrível ao jogo original, trazendo uma nova vida e uma nova perspectiva para uma história amada por tantos fãs ao redor do mundo. É um exemplo brilhante de como um remake pode ser feito com maestria, respeitando suas raízes e, ao mesmo tempo, oferecendo uma experiência fresca e emocionante. Este jogo é verdadeiramente um tesouro e merece todo o reconhecimento e elogios que recebe.

Me ha parecido un juego perfecto en el apartado técnico, con 30 fps constantes pero con una calidad gráfica realmente alucinante, teniendo en cuenta que es de PS4. En el apartado artístico me parece que no han podido recrear mejor Midgar, claramente superior en el remake con respecto al original. Los diálogos, la traducción son muy buenos y los efectos especiales y las cinemáticas me han dejado alucinado. La jugabilidad es extremadamente divertida e interesante, mezclando el estilo de juego por turnos con el "hack and slash", si se puede llamar así. Esto hace que los combates sean amenos y no se hagan aburridos. La única pega es que algunos bosses tienen demasiada vida, lo que va a provocar que nos demoremos un buen rato para derrotarlo. Yo no conocía la historia de este juego y la verdad que me ha enganchado mucho, tanto la trama como la evolución de los personajes. El problema es que los que no hemos jugado al original nos costará entender algunas partes. Aun así la complejidad de la historia y el lore del mundo me han encantado. Como pegas, las físicas de algunos objetos del escenario, algunas misiones secundarias que son aburridísimas e innecesarias y el diseño "pasillero" de muchos de los lugares, que se basan en una línea recta y no hacen justicia al juego. A parte, se nota que en ciertos capítulos han querido alargar mucho el juego y quizá hubiera estado mejor que se ahorrasen algunas partes de puzles y batallas un tanto repetitivas. Cabe destacar que la música es probablemente una de las mejores que hay en los videojuegos, con temas míticos que pasarán a la historia. Estoy deseando que salga la segunda parte de este remake para continuar con la historia de este juegazo. 9,1/10

    The gameplay was a little strange to me since I am not used to JRPGs. Even still, since I wanted to advance into the plot so hard, I forced myself to keep going on and eventually understood it.

    There are some negative points, like textures in some scenarios, some sections longer than they should be, and more. But since my final experience with it was so good, those points are unimportant. I super recommend it.

Atmospheric, interesting and exciting all your attention modern jRPG with an interesting story and spectacular battles. To achieve the ideal, the project only needs more even graphics and all the content from the original release. If you were waiting for a turn-based classic with new graphics you will most likely be disappointed, since the game has changed a lot. Everyone else is happy with the release of the first really powerful single-player release from the internal Square Enix studio for many years. Especially after the failure of Final Fantasy XV.

    A good remake of the introductory part of the cult-favorite Final Fantasy VII. It improves on the original game in almost all aspects, yet lacks in scale and drops the ball at the very end.

    What matters is still intact, and that’s the heart and soul of one of the greatest stories in video game history. It’s a return to form that has felt a long time in coming, and what’s even better is that there’s still at least two more games of this quality to come...They can’t mess this up, can they?
