    This is what remake should be, amazing graphics, great combat and an unforgettable story. 100% worth the price, especially if you are into final fantasy or interested in trying it out.

    SquareEnix has taken a classic and turned it into a masterpiece.

    I'm so happy this isn't just the original with better graphics. The unpredictability makes this game so much more interesting to play for old and new players alike.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finalmente, após platinar com 28 dias, posso dar minha opinião. Jogo excelente, nostálgico e divertido. Posso afirmar que está entre um dos melhores FF já lançados, o colocaria apenas atrás do original FFVII, do Tatics, mas à frente de favoritos meus como o FFX e o FFXV. Lógico que tem  detalhes que decepcionaram, mas sem serem motivos pra não ter um 10. Estou extremamente ansioso para o próximo. Falando um pouco dos pontos positivos: sistema de batalha aperfeiçoou o estilo dos action-rpg, adicionando a interessantíssima possibilidade de modo tatics de forma impressionante, sem incomodar ou perder a dinâmica da batalha; gráficos apesar de terem pouco impacto, conseguiram entregar um jogo fluido, sem queda de frames, e que agrada para os mais nostálgicos; história intacta, apesar das nuances.
    Pontos fracos: ausência de algumas texturas gráficas, linearidade, faltou colocar o Malboro durante a aventura nos esgotos.    … Expand

    A couple boss fights are more annoying than fun
    Really only a couple sectors of Midgar and Shinra HQ

    Yes, it's not quite the whole game, but it took me 37 hours and by the end I felt like it was enough for now. Which is another issue in and of itself - We have no idea when the hell the rest are coming out and how many parts there will actually be. I've heard 3-5 total. It's a pretty big drag not knowing how long it will be, plus having to wait to continue.    … Expand

    I would like to preface this with- This game will probably be going into one of my top 5 favorite games up until this point in time.

    I give my score on a purely objective scale, which is to say; Final Fantasy VII Remake is incredibly flawed. The cinematography, writing, and animations are so inconsistent that it is impossible to not be taken out of the experience. All too frequently you will have an incredible moment of characterization interrupted by the most robotic, formulaic jrpg tropes you've seen one-million times over. And don't even get me started on characters standing around, grunting and gasping instead of solving the issues in front of them.

    The vast majority of the games cutscenes are rendered in the in-game engine which is both incredibly impressive, and horrific to look at when a beautiful cutscene suddenly turns into two characters interacting in what looks like Fallout 3.

    I love Midgar being fleshed out to the extent it has been. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Classic, the world really feels lived-in, but I feel the creators greatly confused pacing and longevity. There is a huge number of sequences over the course of the game that would have been improved greatly if the speed was increased even just 50%. Chapter 9 in particular stands out as it is easily one of the best chapters. Unfortunately, you have to replay it repeatedly for your Platinum and that makes excessively slow sequences like the arms in the underpass just stand out more as a detriment.

    It actually really hurt to type out this review because I absolutely loved Final Fantasy VII Remake. Despite all of its flaws, this has to be one of, if not the, most charming games I've ever played.

    The voice actors absolutely knock it out of the park for our main cast.

    The combat, while difficult to decipher early on, becomes an incredibly fluid blend of action and turn-based rpg that has far more depth than expected as you get into more difficult fights.

    The dialogue starts pretty bizarre in a way you wouldn't notice if you've become accustomed to Japanese media being translated to English, but after the first few hours (particularly the start of chapter 4) our characters sound like actual people! I know it sounds like I'm making a joke, but this is one of the strongest points of the game for me. The fact that instead of sounding like robots spouting expository dialogue, our characters have character and sound like human beings! Its been so long since a jrpg has made me feel that way!

    So all of this is to say that critically, the game is just kind of okay. But just now I realized I haven't even mentioned the music which is just another reason why despite all of Final Fantasy VII Remake's flaws, its positives are SO extremely positive that this game will stick with me for a long, LONG time.    … Expand

The story that they have expanded on was really great, I will be honest though I am not sure I like the direction they are taking or the whispers of fate but the rest of the game completely overshadows this. The combat system is a bit to get used to but I can whole heartedly say that it is one of my favorite battle systems of all time. The Hard mode after defeating the game is really hard and I NEARLY didn't bother but I am so glad I did, this really made you think about what you are doing in combat and I genuinely felt a sense of achievement when finishing a chapter!

The new characters are all rather interesting and have some foreshadowing that a few of them will show up again in later installments.

Id say most players will get 35-50 hours. A competionist can easily get 50-70 hours out of this game.

    COMBAT - Ridiculously fun and engaging, doing a combo with Cloud, firing a few shots with Barret and then finishing an enemy off with an uppercut or divekick with Tifa is very satisfying.
    WEAPON UPGRADE SYSTEM - This is a nice little addition from SE for the end user to put more time into the game, and being able to revisit old, iconic weapons like the Gatling gun, Buster Sword, Leather Glove because of their own perks and customisation is a very smart move and gives more depth and choices when preparing yourself for different fights.
    QUESTS - I'm on chapter 16/18 and looking at the quest screen I have apparently completed them all. In my honest opinion a lot of them did feel very underwhelming and almost like 'filler' but hey, it's something to do and you do get some nice rewards for finishing them all. For me this is probably the weakest part of the game but still good fun.
    SOUNDTRACK - They've executed this very well, renditions of the original hold up good and there are some truly epic new soundtracks. My favourite being the Rude/Reno fight on top of the tower, man that track gets the blood pumping (sorry, hope this isn't considered a spoiler).
    MIDGAR - A lot of people will complain that the game ends after Midgar... well let me say this, I'm on Chapter 16 and I'm almost 40 hours in, so it's not like it's a shortened experience by any stretch - the city is absolutely huge and there are so many corners to explore in the game. If you take your time with the game, you should at least be enjoying 30-50 hours of gameplay which is good value.
    CHARACTER DIALOGUE - This is one of the highlights of the game - the interaction between characters like Cloud, Barret and Tifa is outrageously good and you can see a lot of work has been done, there's banter and they all have digs at one another, plus even the non playable characters have great dialogue. Great voice acting and the whole experience touches the heart. If you're a big FF7 fan like myself, you will not be disappointed by this; it'll touch your heart!

    Overall, the game does not disappoint. A beautiful start to something much bigger!    … Expand

    Story: The story of FF7 is well known at this point, in this iteration, a lot of what happens is consistent with the original, with innumerable nods and winks to the original. However there are deviations, and without delving into spoilers, I will say I found them to be good for the most part. What they did is actually genius, but I can’t say why without ruining the point of playing the game and experiencing it yourself. Suffice it to say Square Enix is aware of what they’re doing by changing things, and they’re aware of what their audience thinks. Despite what angery fan boyes online are saying, they didn’t kingdom hearts this game. But, what they did do is extremely clever, and I am very much looking forward to the next game, which is coming, it says so in the credits.

    Navigation: Like FF13, this game can be rather linear, but unlike FF13, the combat isn’t “which autopilot will win this fight”, and there are multiple times during the story where it opens up and you can do side quests / grind on monsters to level up material, etc. FF13 didn’t give you this option until the last third of the game which imo was a huge mistake. The paths are less linear, and you are rewarded for taking your time to explore paths to find treasure. Occasionally, areas are clearly structured to pad out the time you play the game, but this only bothered me a handful of times (forcing you to walk for a period of time during a more interactive scene for example) and at it’s worst, wasn’t that bad. I appreciated SE being responsive to the fact that this game being just midgar needed to be expanded on to be worth people’s money.

    Combat: This might be the best part of this game. It’s a mix of action and strategy. You have enough options as each character that each battle feels good and distinct. You have to block, dodge, attack, and monitor your ATB gauge which is what allows you to use items, magic, summons, and your better abilities. Combat gets better as you get better. You can mostly **** your way through the first bombing run, but pretty soon, you need to actually learn how to do it to not get rocked, and it’s impressively fleshed out.
    On normal difficulty, this game isn’t easy, and requires you to use all of the tools it gives you. Beating the game unlocks chapter select and hard mode, allowing you to replay previous sections with your current weapons material and gear.

    Weapons: Each weapon has it’s own special Triangle attack, and if you use it enough you can learn it permanently (think ff9) and then use it with other weapons, expanding your abilities as time goes on. Even cooler, each weapon has it’s own skill tree. You get SP as you level up, and can upgrade the number of material slots, damage you do with physical or magic attacks, defense, as well as other cool effects. You can reset the weapon skill trees to change how you play as you get more SP as much as you want. This gives combat and character development a lot of extra wiggle room. You can test out a build, and if it sucks, go reset it for a trivial amount of gil, and try again.

    Materia: The material options are pretty robust, most of what you expect to be there is there, and there are tons of new material, which you earn by doing intel missions. e.g. use the sense material on X number of enemies, perform Action Y, Z number of times. It rewards you for exploring the battle system to the fullest, which is just good game design.

    Music: The music is incredible, a lot of expansion on the original tracks but most of them are so good. The music is dynamic as **** boss battles will have music amp up or slow down based on the action and as you get closer to killing the boss it gets increasingly amped up. I got goose bumps so much I lost count of how often it happened.
    Final thoughts: I think Square Enix intends for this to be supplemental to, but not replacing the original. It’s clear they plan to make significant changes to the arcs of many characters moving forward, and they reference things that happened in the original to an extent that makes me think we’re in for a similar but different story for this series. TBH, I’m ok with that. Sephiroth is still trying to destroy humanity, Shinra is still Shinra, all the characters are still themselves, it’s still FF7. But it’s not a shot for shot remake, and the next games in this series will likely deviate from the original story and plot in ways that some will take issue with. I’ve beaten FF7 original probably over a dozen times now. It’s my favorite game, I’m as a big a fanboy as they come, and I am onboard the remake train. It’s so good. My final playtime before doing Hard mode / chapter select stuff was 40 hours, I did most of the optional stuff before finishing it, but I think there is more than enough content to warrant getting this game. It really is very good.    … Expand

    I'm a hardcore Final Fantasy fan, going back to the early 90's getting into the series back on the SNES. I've loved the original Final Fantasy VII, through out the years, it always remained as my top favorite game.
    And I can say, as a hardcore fan... This game. Was. Amazing! I loved the entire experience with this game!
    I'm going to get into all of the good and the bads about the game:    I'm a hardcore Final Fantasy fan, going back to the early 90's getting into the series back on the SNES. I've loved the original Final Fantasy VII, through out the years, it always remained as my top favorite game.
    And I can say, as a hardcore fan... This game. Was. Amazing! I loved the entire experience with this game!

    I'm going to get into all of the good and the bads about the game:

    Good:
    First, and most important. The story. The story was an amazing retelling. It stayed pretty true to the original with the major events, while adding a huge extra portion of Midgar. I loved getting to further explore and see Midgar. This was a good touch.
    Probably the best part of the story, was playing again a second time, and understanding the reasoning behind the ghost figures. Every time the story slightly derailed from the original game, they showed up pushing events in order to put it back on proper course. I'm surprised so many players from the original FFVII didn't catch this, and were confused by the ghost.
    For Example. Cloud was let go from helping Barrett at the next reactor, and instead Jessie was to take his spot. But the ghost show up and injure Jessie, forcing Cloud back into the group, like the original.
    Later in Chapter 17: Hojo begins to tell Cloud he is not soldier, which was to early for him to find out. Then the ghost appear separating Hojo from Cloud.
    Every time events changed, they were there to set it back on proper course. It was a really good touch.

    Materia Set up: I loved how they kept the Materia the same. It wouldn't be FFVII without the integrated materia into the weapons. However, now they added something else even better! The Weapon level sphere grid tree! This was incredible! I love being given free range to build a character the way I like. Being able to gain more power ups. And this was an amazing addition to the game! Lets keep the weapon level trees!

    Dialog: The voice acting was on point. And the dialog itself was really good. I was laughing with a few of the lines in the game. They really nailed the personalities of the characters.

    Cutscenes: The cut scenes looked amazing. This game was beautiful. It was a real treat on the eyes. I only with it had more cutscenes to sit back and watch. There was a lot of times they had a small 5 second dialog cut-scene and I wish they were longer. I wanted more interaction between the characters!
    And of course the music. I've always went back to the old school FFVII sound track to listen to the music. It helps me relax. The music in the remake is just as good and relaxing!

    The bad: (Even though I love this game! There are some things I wish were different.)

    Not enough early grinding spots: It's not an old school RPG unless you do tons of grinding! Well until you beat the game and get chapter select to return to spots. There isn't a whole lot of early game grinding for AP. There are a select few spots early on. But until you get to the arena, there isn't too much.
    Possibly to keep you from getting too over powers before a certain spot. After you finish the game and get chapter select it's much easier to return to certain spots to grind out that extra AP.

    Too Linear: This is only a minor problem. But a lot of chapters is the game are very linear and lack the open world free roam that FFVII had. I loved in chapter 14 it opened up a semi-free roam potion to go between sectors 5 and 6. And as this game only takes part in Midgar, that is good enough. But I am hoping that Part 2, once you enter the real world, brings on the true free roam. Giving us the entire world as our playground, much like the old school game!

    *Also, you need to keep in the Fort Condor mini game battle for part 1! I loved that mini game! *

    This was a long review. But strongly expresses all my viewpoints and love for this game!    … Expand

    Amazing voice acting, very beautiful music, a great writing of the characters. The gameplay is a super fan combonation of modern action combat, and the old atb system from the original game back in 1997. Honestly its just amazing!

    Many people are hating on the ending because its not a one on one retelling of the original, and because they dont really think about it.

    If you take a few minutes and think about the ending and all the clues you were given troughout the whole game, you realize how well written and thought out that whole thing actually is. From a critical view this game is a 9. Because it has its issues. Some sidequests are boring and some of the dungoens are to long. From a personal view this game is a solid 10. It made me happy playing this game, see all this characters again and to see and learn more of them.

    I cant wait for part 2

It's full of life. Also the ending kinda worries me. But i'm also positive that would make sense in part 2.

Since this is only the first part of the remake series, we don’t really know how the whole story will unfold. To me, the deviations just make plot holes that ruin character development, themes, and create a mess of confusion.

    Positives - music, animations, voice acting, visuals, cinematic camera work, dialogue, setting, character development, combat/gameplay, weapon upgrade system, materia system, humor/charm, lighting.
    Negatives -
    Long Boss Battles, Some Bosses alone take like 20 minutes or more.
    Sound Design, Several times I was expecting a big thud or a noise from setting down a coffee mug and I didn’t hear anything. Like right in the beginning when Jessie kicks the Shinra guard, I would expect a big sound from the impact but there’s hardly anything. To me, a game with a big epic theme should have a big epic sound design pallet. It’s thematically inconsistent with me.
    Combat Interruptions,
    Few dialogue choices,
    Awkward player/camera movement at times, The game does the thing where it forces the camera in a certain direction and you to walk towards it in order to progress the plot. A lot of the times it’s just annoying.
    Sidequests,
    Lots of Filler,
    Last Dungeon and Graveyard Dungeon,
    The main Theme seems forced at the end,
    Censoring - game avoids anything graphic. No blood, no dead bodies. Not that visually horrifying.
    Dull/Boring sidequests
    Motorcycle minigame is too long
    Loss - The consequences of certain events are irrelevant.

    For people that like the story additions and changes, I can understand them giving this game a 10/10. But for me, I’m so torn by it and just want to ignore the changes. FF7 is something I have always cherished, and this is not what I had in mind, or ever wanted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game overall the graphics are stunning, the battle system in general is the best since FFX and far better than XIII and XV. Materia System is addictive and now you can be able to upgrade your weapon using Sp even if you have a new weapon you can still stick to the old one. Characters are well portrayed and flesh out out even minor characters such as Biggs, Wedge, Jessie. I have a mixed feeling in regards with the story the side quests didn’t give me enough reasons to like them they are more like a padding to the game but that’s understandable though the main plot stayed faithful to the original up until the final chapter. And if it wasn’t for that Convoluted ending which reminds me of Nomura KH3 esque It could’ve been a perfect 10/10 nonetheless i will be looking forward to part 2 and this time in regards with the story people who played the OG already know the end and likely it will stay the same but the process of going there remains a mystery will It play out like the OG or not?

    Cons:
    - Combat target locking mechanic is not consistent
    - Aerial combat is awkward
    - Towards the end of the game felt more hack n slash than tactical RPG action
    - Some dungeons were drawn out
    - Side quests felt padded and stretched the play through time a bit too much    … Expand

    Amazing game except for the ending, which is horrible and insulting! I hope they stop calling this project a remake, because it isn't.

    Amazing game. For the most part the Remake I had hoped for. The only negatives are that for some reason they wanted to push for a "big boss" ending but it didn't really make sense to me at that point in the game. And slightly dissapointed that I could not play as Red XIII, one of my favorite characters. I hope he does become playable in the next parts though. And now guess we play theAmazing game.

The kind of types that just isn't pleasable. Definatly worth your money. ( sorry for bad English )… Expand

    I have to be honest, i wasn't ready for the greatness that this game is. This is so, so good.

    First of all, voice acting is next level in this game, especially for female characters. Both Aerith and Tifa were amazing characters and i'm pretty sure voice acting helped a lot. They are obviously very beautiful women anyway, but i think this top-tier voice acting really made these characters to become one of my favorite female characters in any video game. 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. Overall it's beautiful game and i would recommend this to pretty much anyone. You like Resident Evil 4? Try this game. You like FF 16? Try this game. You like epic story, lots of cool characters and boss fights? Try this game.    … Expand

The only things that are putting it down is: Padding, dull side quests (the story of the side quests have a satisfying story behind it, so don't skip), some of the textures won't load properly, or take a while too.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is the game we've been waiting for from Square Enix for so long. 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?
