    My personal GOTY, both this one and the original game are some of my all time favorite games.

    The soundtrack (seriously listen to the Airbuster theme), the gameplay, the boss battles, the voice acting, everything is perfect.

    A lot of people may not like the ending but I think it was pretty decent and sets up a lot of potentially interesting plot lines.

The characters are further developed, and the Midgar world feels much more lively. The combat system is a great mix of active and turn-based strategy, and especially on hard mode encouraged me to really think about how to approach each battle. The dialogue was unexpectedly cheesy, and the I found the side quests somewhat of a chore. The narrow hallways for travelling the world felt very restrictive, more than some standard linear games. The story was acceptable, but I felt there were too many unexplained references to the original, and newer fans would be completely lost on the important connections. Overall great experience, and I look forward to the sequel.… Expand

I actually like that they're doing this game over a series to do it justice. My only issue so to speak is that it wasn't open world so to speak. In a couple of places the pacing seemed a bit off. But overall it's great. Usually when I complete a game I am done with it, but I'd reccomend anyone to replay this one again on hard mode, which unlocks after you complete it. This separates the men from the boys, and is the way it's meant to be played! No items can be used, MP doesn't replenish when resting, and the enemies are much tougher. You keep everything you got in your first play through, and it unlocks unique challenges in the combat arena which some get pretty tough. I'm not one for trophy hunting Usually either, but because it was so good on hard mode I made sure I got the platinum trophy. Would highly recommend to anyone who liked the original!… Expand

    This may be my favorite FF game. It’s right up there with FFX. I really hope they don’t rush the story. I enjoyed having the time to build a love for the characters. The time spent with them really helped to me to get invested in their struggles. I can see myself really growing attached. I hope they continue this amazing quality and story telling. I can’t wait to play the sequel on the PS5!

    I not played the original game, so I can't talk about of how good was the remake and history modifications, but as a person who was introduced to Final Fantasy franchise by this game, I can say that was a wonderful experience, history, characters, such a good soundtrack, and the combat was so fun! A must play for PS4 owners.

The world felt very immersive and alive. Having markers for quests, and less filler quests, would have saved some time. Chapter 9 was quite boring and sometimes the pacing was slow. The last couple of chapters were quite drawn out with the bosses but was a good challenge! The ending was very confusing for me and it would have been better if it was explained who Sephiroth was earlier. If you are new to FF, as a stand alone game the ending might be underwhelming so this is the main reason I decreased the score. Besides these minor negatives I enjoyed the game, I felt I was on a journey with the characters and wouldn't mind replaying because I loved the story and didn't do everything. Really looking forward to part 2!… Expand

    Not a fan of the combat system. It definitely grew on me towards the end of the game. Absolutely HATE the materia system and not having an ability to have a fast way to change just before a fight. Can defijitely feel the slowdown in some sections to drag this out to a full game. Loved the ending. Looking forward to the next obe.

    TLDR: As a kid i remember seeing the commercials and magazines praising FF7, sadly i never got around to playing it. Then the FF7 Remake came out and i bought it in a heartbeat. I absolutely loved it, but i do have some small nitpicks. It took me almost exactly 41 hours to beat it + most side quests. I did skip or didn't fully complete most minigames with the exception of Darts.TLDR: As a kid i remember seeing the commercials and magazines praising FF7, sadly i never got around to playing it.

I did skip or didn't fully complete most minigames with the exception of Darts.

    Story/Characters:
    The story is great, filled with likeable and deep characters not losing its grip off me for almost the entirety. It can be funny, tense, emotional and romantic without feeling like they are just ticking boxes. Even Stretching the Midgar arc to 30-40 hours does not harm the quality. It gripped me from the first to the final chapters.

    That is right until the end, the conclusion of the story feels rushed, messy, and left me with even more questions - not in a good way as it gets a bit weird / off-tone to the rest of the story.

    Ending with the Midgar arc does mean than a lot of Cloud backstory / world lore is not fully explained. In the original FF7 this happens mostly after the (short) Midgar story arc. Without having played the original it left me quite confused with a lot of the stuff that happened in the last few hours. It also impacts smaller, world lore bits throughout the game, where the game expects you to understand these terms or references when they never get explained.

    Graphics/Audio:
    Graphics are great, solid performance, nothing to complain. Audio is great, however there is one battle theme in the tunnels that is extremely repetitive it feels its a very short loop.

    Gameplay:
    Hands down the best active-combat final fantasy game they created so far, it requires a lot of management to be effective and especially to be successful on hard mode. It is the ultimate fusion of the old turn based and modern active combat style. FFXV pales in comparison to FF7R.

    Upgrading weapons and slotting them with Materia is a very interesting system that provides a lot of freedom in building your characters. Cloud for example can pretty much fill any role you want granted you got the right Materia, Weapons, Armor and Accesories.

    The camera can be a bit of a bother at times with flying enemies.    … Expand

    With the hype surrounding this game second only to the return of Jesus, FF VII Remake had such lofty expectations that there was no way it was ever going to fulfill them.

They really should have addedWith the hype surrounding this game second only to the return of Jesus, FF VII Remake had such lofty expectations that there was no way it was ever going to fulfill them. However the game comes about as close as I could have expected it too. I first want to say that people who expect this to be the whole game remade need to rethink how they view this game. They really should have added some sort of Part 1 subtitle to this so people know that this isn't the full game.
    What this game gets right, gets those things extremely right. The level of detail and atmosphere here is astounding. I don't think I've ever seen some of the attention to detail presented here in any other game ever made. The staff treated each character and setting with extreme care. It really shows in how the characters interact with each other and the environment around them. As well as the subtle nods to old fans of the series with the various flash-forward sequences that show what the player knows happens after Midgar ends and the rest of the game begins. The new content is also very well done and, while some of it can feel a bit prolonged at times, it all fits into the story very well as well as gives some of the characters from the original game, who may not have been given the time to develop as a character, their own time to shine here. If this is going to be the level set for all of the following games, then the amount of detail here will be staggering.
    However not everything here works well in the long run. The combat can be hit or miss, especially during the final portions of the game where it expects you to be able to read each enemy like the back of your hand if you want to survive. Especially on the hardest difficulties. The combat in general is a mixed bag. On one hand I like how it all fits together and flows at times, and on the other it can be extremely frustrating when you get 1 shot by an enemy you cant see on screen while at max health. It can feel very cheap at times. Also the voice acting can be a bit wonky at times. 95% of the time, all the VO's are great and each character is very well realized throughout the story. But certain characters, like Tifa and Aerith, will deliver some very deadpan and unenthusiastic lines during high pressure situations. It's a fairly minor thing, and doesn't happen a lot, but happens enough to make it noticeable and can take you out of scene.
    As I said before, this game was never going to live up to the massive amounts of hype that came with it. But it does a very good job at coming close. And out of the about 40 hours it'll take to complete this game, not including going back to do the trophies or side quests you will miss along the way, I never felt like I was just trying to grind through it. This is something I can recommend for new and old players alike as it feels like a brand new experience and one that I'm excited to see what they do with in the future.    … Expand

    Brilliant first part to the FFVII remake. The battle system is easy to get the hang of, and the game isn’t a “button masher”, you have to be tactical within both normal and boss battles, which makes the battle system enjoyable. Also, the soundtrack is incredible. Square Enix have done a great job & I’m excited for part 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minor spoilers. Best gaming experience in a long time. Many of the elements from the original game were drawn out for one reason or another. What I loved was getting to know members of Avalanche better and seeing more of the behind the scenes at Shinra. You could tell that SquareEnix had been laying the groundwork for Remake for more than 15 years, and I feel it's payed off.
    This is definitely a part one. My first time through took me about 40 hours to complete on the easier setting. Going to try the other difficulties and keep working on new strategies and work on completion to get all of the materia and gear I missed the first time around.
    If you liked the original, you should definitely try this game. I bought a digital copy because I could find a physical copy that wasn't being sold way above market value (Which is sad because this game is so good.) Because of this I'm going to be buying more digital copies for my library.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is something of an enigma. For starters, it's not in any way shape or form a remake. It takes the first maybe five hours of the original and stretches it out to make something that is altogether different.

    This is both a blessing and a curse. It allows for the supporting cast to be fleshed out much more, especially the other members of Avalanche, which really adds something to the story. However, it also, means that there are quite a few filler side quests that probably didn't need to be in there.On the whole though the game benefits from the extra time you get to spend in Midgar.

    The battle system takes some getting used to but on the whole is an improvement on the original, giving it a more immediate actiony feel. I was sceptical at first but doing some stabbing while you wait for your meter to fill up for the big attacks does work well. The only downside is that your AI companions ATB bars go up incredibly slowly when you're not controlling them so you have to switch constantly between characters to be effective.

    It goes without saying that the graphics, music and voice acting is exceptional. There are occasional texture issues but they are far enough apart that it didn't affect the game for me.

    Overall, this is a fantastic reimagining of arguably the best console game of all time. I only hope we don't have to wait twenty odd years for the next instalment.    … Expand

    The story expansion is a little hit or miss, chapter 4 which sees the development of Avalanche is brilliant for fleshing the characters out and making you really care about them and the side quest portions of chapter 3 and 8 with Tifa and Aerith are a lot of fun but chapter 6 which has you turning of giant artificial suns and chapter 17 where you have to go through hojo's lab experiments weren't needed and could have been skipped.
    Chapter 18 is extremely devisive but I absolutely loved the twist and finally udnerstanding everything and why the whispers were doing what they were doinga nd how Sephiroth was actually getting involved. The Final Boss is one of the most fun and best final fights in game history for me.

    Все просто, в игру довольно приятно играть. Она оставляет приятное послевкусие. В игре довольно хорошо сделаны катстцены, Они информативны, приятны, и рассказывают довольно много по игре. Не создается впечатления, что что бы понять сюжет нужно посмотреть фильм, пять мультфильмов, почитать комиксы. И автобиографию персонажей. В игре "Хорошая" боевая система. И отвратительный искусственный интеллект, не ну серьезно порой они просто стоят и получают по морде. Чем хороша боевая система. Ну тем, что она предусмотрела ошибки 15 части и теперь магия не кладет весь ваш отряд. У вас есть от одного до 3 атб. В большинстве у вас будет 2 атб. Это очки действия. Они набираются во время боя и потом вы можете их использовать на предметы или магию, или призыв эйдолонов. Кроме этого у вас есть оружие и обычные комбинации ударов. У каждого персонажа свое оружие. Меч, миниган, жезл, перчатки. По ходу игры вы найдете их вариации. С уклоном в какую-то сторону, атака, защита, магия, что-то среднее. Комбинируя оружие и материю вы сможете атаковать стихиями, лечить, поднимать павших бойцов и все в таком духе.
    Почему я считаю что игра растянута? Ну это видно по локациям. Есть локации по типу центрального офиса в Midgar где все проработано до мельчайших деталей. В котором просто приятно находится. проходя эту локацию не появляется чувства вторичности. А вот маршрут до второго реактора растянут на 5 часов монотонных, однообразных локаций. Да и множественное число можно к этому не применять по сути там их две и они жутко скучные. Побочные Квесты вызывают зевоту. Они максимально устарели для 2020. И служат еще одним рычагом увеличения время игры. Убей 3 крыс, опять убей 3 крыс, убей 5 роботов, найди 3 котов, найди 5 детей, найди снова 5 детей, убей мутанта пса, убей чудовищный эксперимент, сходи на могилу убей трех мутантов. Как вам такие задания? И ведь если бы эти задания несли бы за собой какую-то историю, последствия. То было бы круто. Но нет. Что вы их выполните, что нет. Изменятся только платья Тифы, Айрис, Клауда. А ну еще при первом прохождении они не плохо вас прокачивают. В общем добавлены для галочки.
    Специально для тех, кто играл в предыдущую часть и хочет знать а изменился ли сюжет ил инет? Да, они его поменяли. В лучшую или худшую сторону решайте сами, желательно после прохождения игры. Если кому интересно мое мнение. То мне кажется, что в худшую сторону. Игра порождает много вопросов. И на них им придется ответить в следующих частях. А вот ответят они или нет не кто не знает.

    Yes, this game only covers the Midgar section of the original, so it's necessary to extend and pad the run time to justify your purchase, but like pointless meandering in some sections is so boring and uninteresting and holds back such a well-crafted game that really pays    Beautiful, the combat's a lot of fun, surprisingly difficult, but plagued with too much padding in many sections.

    I love the original, so it's fun to play through an updated and reimagined version like this.    … Expand

    This game is fantastic, however I am not a fan of it only being part 1 of FF7, so it does not deserve full marks.

    I will commend Square Enix for the realization of Cloud's PTSD/Dissociation/"Soldier programming".
    My partner is diagnosed with both PTSD, and Dissociation disorder and we declare this game has handled the condition well.

    This is my first FF game, so I can't compare it to the original. But for me this is an amazing game. The gameplay is fantastic, the combat is awesome and the story is very engaging. Can't wait to play the next part!

    I liked that they fleshed out the characters and expanded the events in midgar. While I enjoy turn based games, I also like the real time combat of this game. I’m not a fan of racing games, so I did not enjoy the motorbike parts of the game but I’m glad it can be skipped if you decide to replay the game.

    Me lo prestaron, así que no lo pague.
    Es precioso y muy bueno de ver y de jugar, le perdonó algunas texturas en ciertos momentos que son de baja calidad pero en sumatoria el juego es muy bueno y el final me ha encantado. No le puedo pedir más a ps4 en las texturas. lo espero en PC, para meterle mods y las siguientes partes también allí.

    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?
