    The story twists allow for unpredictable storylines that I'm completely open to. = I'm really glad this is a story continuation based on the original game experience and not a simple 1:1 remaster. I hope our heroes and heroines can reshape/remake the future for the better - as the original ending was way too bleak and tragic for me. (Hopefully the ending can be shaped based on player decisions).

    Part one of the FF7 remake already gave me one of the best gaming experiences I've had in my life. I love the soundtrack, the characters, their design and story interactions with each other, and also the new real-time group combat system.
    The few texture issues should be gone with the PS5 upgrade. (I have yet to replay the game on that system).

    Down-sides; I wish, there was an official costume option for the characters. ^^
    There are 4 costumes for Aerith, Tifa and Cloud - but only cheat modules enable you to wear them outside of the indended scenes - PS4.
    And I would also have liked an option to turn off the green filter during the slow-mo skill selection. (I prefer the original colors).

    So far, I've replayed the game 4 times in 3 different languages, and I can't wait for the next installments. I simply want to spend more quality time with the characters I adore - and I thus also appreciate the decision to make this story bigger. And I also couldn't have wished for a better fight system. There's room for improvements (group dynamic / espers / air combat) - but it's nonetheless my fav among all rpgs. 10/10    … Expand

    Square does a great job of bringing this game into modern times with some added bits as well. There were a few missteps though, such as some padding here and there, some very strange story beats, and some rough textures, but still a great time

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Though not perfect, Final Fantasy 7 Remake delivers on remaking the jrpg icon and adding its own spice, however not all of these changes and additions are necessarily good. To start things off, lets discuss the Whispers, ghost-like entities and Arbiters of Fate that interrupt the story and only ever serve to disrupt, while I can appreciate the 'Fanon' explanation that they're representations of the fans, trying desperately to stop Square from making any changes and keep the game as close to the original as possible, the Whispers themselves are nothing short of nuisances, they show up randomly to slow down the game and remind you **** different". I can only hope Cloud and Co killing their boss at the end is a meta commentary saying "screw the fans, we're doing what we want" And we won't be seeing them again.

    Moving on from that, the other changes this game makes are mostly all very nice, like mission you go on with Jessie, Biggs and Wedge, in this short section, you team up with aforementioned characters and venture to the Sector 7 plate to Jessies house so that you can get a Shinra keycard and infiltrate one of their bases, this section alone includes character development for Jessie, a pretty fun Bike sequence, a new character who I love named Roche, a pretty fun action scene where Biggs and Wedge both have their time to shine in combat, and development between Cloud and his Avalanche buddies, we also see that Avalanche is a far bigger organization that in the original, having multiple Sects, some of which are very well outfitted with military equipment, unlike Barrets group who've always been very ragtag.

    Among the good however, there is always bad, and unfortunately, there is a scene which has gained my ire, not for its content, but its placement. Much like the original, after being thrown into the sewers by Corneo, you must pass the Train Graveyard, unlike the original however, it's far too long and tonally feels very out of place, given Tifas anxiety over Shinra dropping the sector 7 plate, which seems totally dropped in this section, and awkwardly picked back up immediately after, it feels odd and out of place.

    To roll things back a little to when I mentioned Corneo, the Wall Market scene is pure bliss, I loved every second of this part, from Aeriths amazing dialogue, where she requests "permission to kill" when Corneo's men are speaking about her looks, to the Coliseum where you fight The Monster House in a boss fight, and finally to the dance minigame which had me smiling from ear to ear the entire time. I'm certain they knew how much everybody loved the scene where Cloud is forced to put on a dress and they went ham on it to make it an absolute spectacle, and they succeeded.

    On to the characters, they're amazing, new and old. returning favourites like Barret, Tifa and Aerith are filled with love and care, I already loved these characters, but I'll be damned if this game didn't increase my love for them tenfold, absolutely amazing. Even side characters like Jessie, Biggs and Wedge have been given new life, what were once characters who existed only to die during the Sector 7 Plate incident, are now fully fleshed out people with a range of emotions, and in Biggs' and Jessies cases, a REALLY hot redesign. There are even new characters who are just as loveable, like Leslie, a Corneo grunt who's secretly trying to get back at Corneo for making Leslie's fiancée his bride and her subsequent disappearance, there's then the new Trio of people needed to gain access to Corneo, Madam M, Sam and Andrea Rhodea, the final of which is my personal favourite, even the Squatting guys are given this treatment with a new character named Jules, then there's Tifas landlady, The Angel of the Slums and her granddaughter Kyrie, Johnny, there's simply too many to count, and they're all so entertaining, they make Side Activities worth the trouble.

    Lastly I need to be a Grinch again, because I did not enjoy the gameplay here, more specifically the Combat, and the sole reason my score isn't higher. The combat in this game is dreadful, it may trick you initially into thinking it's fun because of how visually stunning it is, complete with insane particle effects and bright vibrant colours, but by the end you'll realize how shallow and boring it really is. For starters, let's discuss the Dodge... why is it even there? It's largely useless and I spent the better half of my 30 hour run trying in vain to dodge attacks, I later found out I was simply doing it wrong, apparently the Dodge is for big boss attacks and for regular fights you're meant to use the Block, the Block... does not Block, you still take damage, just kind of reduced. Cloud has a unique ability to Counter, but using it makes you incredibly slow and vulnerable to ranged attacks. Then there's stun lock... it's everywhere... Screw stun lock.

    Overall a good game far from perfect but worth your time. Also Zack :)    … Expand

Midgar really felt like a real place to me and the gameplay felt like the perfect mix of real time combat with turn based combat (I hope the rest of Final Fantasy games from now on use the same combat style). The only negative point are some low res textures here and there and a quite small map, but I never felt like these things detracted even a bit from the experience.

    While some texture problems exist, graphics are good. Music is always good. Characters are better than recent FFs. Maps are easy to read and follow.

The second is the level design, sometimes it just feels like the game is made the way it is just so it takes more time to do basic things. The third is chapter 6, it should be maybe 60% of the length it actaully is. There are several things that clearly only exist to slow you down and make you take more time, and they are just no fun to deal with. However the characters are amazing and I felt instantly attached to them. During combat at least for me there was no clear best character, they all had a roll to fill and could do it well.
    The graphics are great, and the game ran pretty much perfectly. Like I said this is my first Final Fantasy game and I loved the story, from what I've seen online the ending was kind of controversial because it deviates from the origional, so I want and got a little run down of the origional's story, and honestly the origional's story seems good, but I'm happy with the direction the remake went. The world is also amazing. It seems so real, they did a phenomenal with world building. I generally liked the battle system, but there were a few moments where it was a little frustrating, especially with flying enemies, but there were other moments where the system just seemed perfect and it was some of the most fun I've had in a long time. Outside of 1 boss fight in chapter 17 while you are on the motor cycle all of the boss fights are good. The game was well worth the money, and I will buy the second part of the remake within the first week or two of it's launch (I don't preorder or buy games launch day).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Con este juego me ha pasado algo por primera vez con un RPG (action, japanese o el modo que sea): no me dan ganas de volver a jugarlo. Gráficas, personajes, banda sonora, respeto a los puntos del original... pero lo han hecho increíblemente dilatado. Me aburrí mucho pasándomelo, el juego está muy estirado entre sus puntos clave.

    Cosas como lo tedioso de salir a buscar enemigos para grindear algo de guiles, o el entrenamiento para la materia (me tuve que tirar 14 horas en el coliseo de mercado muro para conseguir el nivel que requiere derrotar a Bahamut), me tiran para atrás. Han logrado que pierda interés.

    Si lo miro como un producto nuevo, mal (se me hace lento y con mucho contenido superficial entre puntos de la trama), si lo hago como un remake del clásico peor aún, porque veo una ocasión muy desperdiciada para profundizar de veras en la dinámica de Midgar, el "relleno" escogido es flojo, muy flojo. Me gustaría poder decir lo contrario, pero han matado mi ilusión por plantearme siquiera comprar los siguientes.

    Lo anterior no quita grandes puntos: narrativa (aunque pesada), nostalgia, hermosas gráficas, combates de jefes intensos de verdad... puedo recomendarlo, en especial si lo pasaste bien con los Kingdom Hearts, pero no puedo obviar lo que ha producido en mi (volví a pasarme el clásico hace poco para comparar, y duele, noto muchas posibilidades desperdiciadas). Vale la pena, pero me ha dejado mal por lo agotadoramente dilatado que lo han hecho (para cuando llegué al capítulo 18, tenía ganas de que todo acabara de una vez, y he tardado más de un mes en pasármelo de la pereza que me daba).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game itself is great! I don't know why the user reviews are small, and prolly it's because it was review bombed, or the ending wasn't that great for Final Fantasy newbies/ Karens that want a 1:1 with the Original even though it is a 'Remake' not a Remaster, Trolls, and much more. This game deserves universal acclaim just like Ghost of Tsushima, or at the same level with The Last of Us II which is hot garbage. Final Fantasy VII Remake is a gem, whether or not you've played the Original or not, but it's better if you did.

    Moving on, the combat is purely. A masterpiece. I enjoyed every piece of it when I battle someone or something in-game, it is a blend of FFVII's turn-based ATB System (Turn-based combat getting older and less used imo) + the modern action-based combat system just like in FFXV. Simply put, the Old meets the New. Fantastic. Seems like the devs from previous Final Fantasy really thought of something new to create this from their past mistakes. What is only a bit of disappointing though is the Aerial Combat, but it doesn't outweigh my love for this game. In Aerial Combat, you can't cast skills and characters need to charge up momentum to jump high and attack flying enemies. This is realism though, this is both good and a bit.. meh. Still love it. The combat is complete, with attack/counter/defend/etc. commands, but with the limit of ATB so no button spamming. Hard Mode tried my patience, you will completely renew your strategy. Plus, Jules will make you cry lol.

    The graphics in-game. The cutscene quality. The Shin-Ra presentation on Chapter 17. Very, very astounding visual quality especially the latter example. They really put forth a lot of effort in this game, and you can't say it's cheaped out on and/or rushed. The animations in-game is good, when you step on a rock, when you step up, run the stairs, etc. but it lags matching up with the levels most of the time, but it quickly matches up on what level your foot is on the stairs. This is VERY MINOR and not a problem, just my observation. Also, Cloud's sword sometimes seems to glitch out on objects when he tries to sit on benches. Again, not a big problem. However, there are engine bugs (they say) that causes texture issue. A very noticeable example is the door at Stargazer Heights (Chapter 3), where the door is almost just colored and left without further details. Also, some things are 2D and blurry, go closer and they will become more detailed. I hope this issue gets resolved with a patch on the future, or an update in PS5 and PC/Xbox releases. People hating on these issues giving it a 5 or lower must sure be fun to talk to, huh? Not quite, they'll brag about how sharp their eyesights are. Some cutscenes, such as the Honeybee Inn in Chapter 9, is just fabulous.

    The OSTs. Oh, you know what to expect. Masterpieces. Nobuo Uematsu + Hamauzu and others? Really love it. You will hear remade music from the original for most parts of the game, even though the music in the original did not play on Midgar, Remake played various remade songs from FFVII OG outside Midgar. I truly appreciate the work they put on remaking Orchestral/Electronic versions of almost every song there is on the Original.

    This is where most haters/trolls/kids/first-timers of Final Fantasy/ KH Haters hate on - The ending of the game. Many people left confused, with those uninterested to further seek or dive deeper to what happened rating this game 5, or maybe even 3, lower or just plainly 0. The ending leaves so many questions, keeping ORIGINAL Final Fantasy VII fans questioning. It is indeed intriguing, and we're in for a ride for the 2nd part. The concept of the Remake being episodic is also a factor people hate this project. They're expecting a 'whole Remake' for a game that is released naturally long spanning 3 disks (Discs 1/2 were longer than the last, because the last only contains the last remaining bosses of the game). I see this having benefits - The devs can learn from their mistakes on this Part making Part 2 have greater quality. People also complain of them spending $60 every episode is out. You don't need to be poor in order to play this episodic project. These people also prolly got blinded by the microtransactions made in their Online Games. Pathethic. Making it episodic also means the Devs are maximizing stuffs on fleshing out the lore of FFVII. In the Original, there were many parts where the screen flashes and little to no explanations were left, but in the Remake - a scene, or an AI-operated cutscene will explain it to you.

    As far as I can say, FFVII Remake is a really good game. They fleshed out more unexplained parts from the Original, put phenomenal graphics, excellent gameplay and combat, and many more. This is easily one of the GotY Material games out there, along with Ghost of Tsushima II and many others. Would recommend this more to those who played FFVII Original, to lessen people whining that really didn't plat the original.    … Expand

    Una nueva forma de revivir un gran clásico de la industria con ciertos cambios que lo hacen sentir como una secuela del mismo. -El gameplay es adictivo y muy divertido. -Ciertas misiones secundarias y secciones se vuelven tediosas.
    -El apartado técnico y sonoro es fascinante.

    - I'm not going to let this one go ever, but real action combat is not what FF fans were into, ever, I don't mind playing Tales of Berseria, but when I play FF I don't want this crap.
    - The combat is so goddamn easy. I beat the game in hard mode, you should have the option to play with that level of difficulty from the beginning. You quite honestly can't die in normal difficulty, it makes most of the combat elements feel pointless. It ties up with the turns things, if it were turn based you couldn't just run around dodging everything, bah. I don't know why it's a thing that I have to finish a game first to be allowed to play it. Note I don't normally play games on hard, but this game is way too easy on normal.
    - I find it incredibly stupid the achievements require you to replay entire chapters making decisions which you don't know if they'll have the effect you want them to have. The only achievements I left out are the different chapter 14 endings... I mean, if you want to encourage people to replay the game make it a better experience, you can skip cut scenes but there is so much in the game that is just locked game play which you can't skip.

    Bottom line, allow hard mode from the beginning, remove stupid achievements, let people live with the story the way they chose it.    … Expand

    O jogo tem um bom sistema de combate, gráficos bons, e boa trilha sonora. A história pra quem não jogou o original pode ter ficado confusa da maneira que foi contada, porém ela não deixa de ser boa. Os pontos negativos (além da história confusa para os iniciantes), ficam por conta de "bugs" de textura e missões secundárias que não recompensam como deveria, e são um pouco que "repetitivas".O jogo tem um bom sistema de combate, gráficos bons, e boa trilha sonora.

The pacing of it was a little weird and since it was Japanese made some of the English voice acting while good felt off in some scenes.

When you finish the game, except doing it again in hard mode for a few more bosses, there is nothing else to do. The side quests are rewarding, but not interesting, at all.

Je n'ai pas été déçu, c'est un vrai vent de fraîcheur et honnêtement, je suis heureux que ce remake ne soit pas juste un copié-collé de l'original.

Côté visuel, le jeu est tout de même assez inégal, on est face à des décors magnifiques et la modélisation des persos est dingue mais des fois, on se retrouve devant une texture dégueulasse (cf. l'appartement de Cloud) ou une skybox à l'allure de .jpeg ce qui est vraiment dommage. Niveau scénario, c'est du FF7 donc c'est excellent et les modifications (majeures et mineures) sont les bienvenues ! /! Attention pour ceux qui s'attendaient à une fidélité à 100%, vous pourriez être déçus /! Cependant, certaines phases du jeu font vraiment office de rallonge pour combler. L'OST est vraiment incroyable, on retrouve les compositions Nobuo Uematsu réorchestrées à merveille et le thème principal "Hollow" inédit à ce remake est vraiment dingue.

Minor tweaks or adjustments to the world would have done a lot to this game, but the narrative is extremely effective and relatable. The combat system is the best strategy/action system i have ever played, only being pulled back by not having the freedom to use all the perks this system enables, because of the segmentation of the story. Once this battle system is complete with all the materia available in the final version of the full story, it will be insane. I really hope ffxvi uses a version of this combat because its an amazing evolution from classic atb systems. FFVII Remake is built in a way where you allways feel as if you're playing a 20 year old game, forcing you to be wowed when 2020 techology makes you realise it's not.

Iba con mucha ilusión ya que soy fan de la saga Final Fantasy aunque no los he jugado todos. Las primeras impresiones al jugar a este Remake no podían ser mejores. La historia es un calco de la original añadiendo más zonas jugables donde te cuentan más sobre Midgar y sobre los personajes ya que en el original era todo muy plano y no empatizabas mucho con ellos. La recreación de los escenario y Midgar en general está a un nivel altísimo quitando zonas muy puntuales donde las texturas no cargan. Pero para mí eso no es un problema. En cuanto a los personajes, depende de gustos, pero para mí son increíbles, tienes una personalidad increíble, todos ellos. Mi favorita es Tifa y Aerith no se queda atrás. El punto fuerte del juego es el combate, un action JRPG muy táctico que tienes que aprender a manejar. No sirve con aporrear el botón cuadrado, tienes que utilizar habilidades para agotar al enemigo y que sea vulnerables para infligirle más daño, ya sea con ataques físicos, mágicos o con objetos. En el nivel difícil se vuelve un autentico reto, y más si quieres sacarte el platino con los jefes extra. En cuanto a la historia y su final, me han gustado, dejando incógnitas para el futuro que ya veremos que ocurre, pero sinceramente, prefiero mil veces esta parte de Midgar que la del original que dura 8 horas. Aquí está todo mejor contado, empatizas con los personajes y ves cosas nuevas y necesarias que no tenía el original por, evidentemente, limitaciones de la consola.

The question is: was it worth the wait or is it an insult to your childhood. FF7R starts off with one of the best opening levels in any video game I’ve played recently. You go and hack and slash while listening to some S-tier music. It then concludes with a great boss fight that is tough and memorable. After that we go to town and it’s a little slow at first but once that iconic remixed battle theme came on, I was pumped. You then have to go through dungeons which can be a little confusing,but it is worth it. The bad guys of this game got my blood pumping, which can sometimes be rare for a video game. Also, the motercycle rides are A+. Soon we are introduced to a familiar face and the interactions between this character and cloud are amazing. The game then introduces us to even more characters and I could not get enough. However,this game is divided into chapters and while some chapters are amazing, some feel like they were made just for filler. But once you get through those filler chapters, it goes into a very emotional scene that I will not spoil. When I finished the game, my first thought was “when is part 2 coming out?” The game leaves off on a cliffhanger which made me love the game even more. Now onto pros and cons.
    Pros:
    Graphics
    Story
    Characters Soundtrack

    Cons
    Level design can be a bit bland
    Game is a little short

    Hubungan Cloud dengan Tifa, Aerith dan Jessie menjadi salah satu element yang menarik di game ini. Selain itu juga cerita ayah dan anak, Barret dan marlene sangat menyentuh

    Hampir sempurna, tapi masih ada beberapa kekurangan minor dan mayor
    - Beberapa tekstur yang tidak highress
    - Beberapa background seperti jpeg
    - Ending yang agak mengecewakan tapi masih ada potensi kedepannya
    - Combat system yang belum sempurna    … Expand

    My only problems with the game are a lot of areas feel like filler or some areas take way too long to go through, where as the og was 1 screen in those same areas.

    I loved everything about this game.
    From the graphics to the story, the action and fighting mechanics are very enjoyable. It's in my top 5 games ever.

    Me colgué en registrar mi opinión en su día, pero nunca es tarde. Sencillamente me parece una obra maestra. Excelente sistema de combate, apasionante historia, personajes carismáticos y una aventura épica como pocas. Estoy muy entusiasmado con como Square Enix ha empezado este viaje.

    Good heavens this game was good. No right being as good as it was... I hope part 2 is released in 2022! If you like these characters, play this game! If you don't know these characters, play this game! So proud of what Square was able to accomplish with this beloved world. 10/10

    This hit me right in the nostalgia. This is everything I wanted from the remake of one of my favorite games of all time. The combat, the iconic characters, the story, and the visuals (when they work properly) are the highlights of this game. The boss fights are amazing too

I also didn’t like that they made this episodic. It feels so incomplete when you’ve played the original.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I hated this game after my first play through. I had the expectation that it was going to be the original story with no modifications, so I initially hated how the story played out at the end. Also, it was ridiculously easy and required almost no strategy to beat the game. A few things changed after that.

    First, I took some time to think about it and what the developers are trying to do and I’m not as mad. We are still going to get to play through all the cool stuff and locations in the original game in the next parts, there will just be minor tweaks to outcomes. I’m OK with this. I’ve accepted this now.

    Second, I played the game on hard mode and did all the achievements. I must say that hard mode is how this game is meant to be played (besides the lack of item usage - I mean why? And why still give us items?). It requires a lot of strategy and just feels more like how the game was meant to be. As for gameplay, the game looks great. The battle system is decent enough. The kids have deemed turn-based combat dead, so this is about the best we are going to get. Air combat is awful though, let’s get that out of the way. Keeping AI characters positioned where you want them is often frustrating and annoying. Other than that, the battle system works. I will say that I don’t like how summons work. I just want them to show up and do their super move and get on with it. Having to spend your own ATB to have them do attacks is annoying. How is this mess going to work in later games when you summon something like Knights of the Round?

    Materia is mostly good. I wish there was a bigger selection but they need to save some for future games. Also, I miss the days of getting a new materia once you master one. Being limited to one ‘All’ materia and two Elementals was rough. Other nit picky things: the mini-games were tedious and not fun. Wall Market seemed sort of limited as far as the optional side quests go when it came to customizing the outfits. I never want to see or hear from Johnny again - all of his parts were cringe-worthy. The soundtrack is phenomenal. The characters are all well written. It was just a really good game if you go back and do everything.

    Looking forward to Part 2 and hoping it doesn’t take a decade.    … Expand

    Buen juego, pero me dejo algo insatisfecho en unas cosas, eso sí que gráficos, el sistema de combate es bueno pero prefiero mucho más los gambits de final fantasy 12, en general bueno, si me gustaría jugar lo que depara el futuro de este remake.

    Personally, I felt that the developers delivered on the remake.
    It took me about 45 hours to finished the game with all side quest completed and 80 hours for the platinum.

    The game however do suffer from some poor pacing at certain parts of the game. It is also marred by shallow quest and filler chapters. The ending may also leave some people disappointed.

    Apesar de ser somente a parte 1, ja da pra perceber que a empresa vai tentar fundir o final fantasy 7 com o Crisis Core -Final fantasy VII e talvez outros relacionados ao ambiente do VII.

    POREEEEM, eu não estou gostando dessa tendencia da empresa de trazer os jogos que eram mais estratégicos para uma gameplay mais hack and slash (vide o FFXV que basicamente apenas apertar quadrado que da pra zerar o jogo). Não sou um defensor ferrenho do jogo por turno (apesar de eu gostar), entendo que hoje em dia o gênero não faz mais tanto sucesso. Mas falta o elemento estratégia, fazer com que um personagem seja o healer, outro o tanke, outro ainda o dano magico e tal...    … Expand

    - side quests are so terrible and inexcusable compared to the side quests of Witcher 3, mini games are terrible also (many trophies are connected to those horrible mini-games)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So as a huge final fantasy and jrpg fan I have to say this with all honesty. Square-Enix knocked this game absolutely out of the park! I was really worried when they were going to change things like combat and some story elements but after beating the game I went back to platinum game. World 10/10, gameplay 10/10, story omg I don’t know how to rate a story that is part remake and sequel. The developers really nailed it with the story as I was worried that changing it would be bad but in fact that this game is possibly a sequel To advent children or just the original itself is exciting. Can’t wait to play the next one.… Expand

    Para mi es un juegazo, lógicamente han añadido muchas cosas que no estaban en el original, pero indagan mas en la historia, creo que muchas cosas están mejor explicadas que en el original.

    Por lo que a mi respecta, tanto las mecánicas como el juego en si, se merece mi 10.

    A really good game with a lot of nostalgic in the game from a person that play the original game back then. The materia and combat system was good but the camera angle was pretty bad. Love the Japanese voice actor, they nail it pretty good.

    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?
