Now i will tell why i think so. Firstly visual part of this game is awesome as cutscenes as gameplay one and that on old PlayStation 4 with no so cool hardware u know. what really amazed me that camera work and settings in cutscenes it doesn't look like ordinary game cutscenes it feel like real film or movie or whatever. and chapter 9 with honey bee moment it greatest thing that i ever saw in video games during all time im played video games (who played that definitely will agree with me =D). so lets dive into gameplay actually it's slasher with bullet time during this time you can give some commands to your crew (probably that genre has some name but it described it as i did) actually all your timeates have their own wepons and each wepons have different tree of skills and special ability (that you can learn while using this weapon and after it you can use this ability with another weapon). also you can add more skills by rainbow orbs that give some kind of magic to your character. another great thing of this game is sound and music is also great (but chapter 9 main theme is sucks as heck) music perfectly suits to all thing that you can see on your screen (one more time except chapter 9 =D i hate it =D). so the last part is a plot and yeah i don't get it =D at all =D probably the middle part of the game i can say that i understand but first 2 chapters and last 2 it only brings me buch of questions like: "who this people?", "why thei do that thing?", "when it hepen?" and moreever. but actually i cant say that plot is bad in this game probably it's just me maybe i was concentrated on plot while playing or something else. So in conclusion will i recommend this game ? and answer is yes (probably i recommend all games of Square Enix =D) if you looking for something with interesting plot/gameplay/sound/characters that game is your choice.… Expand

    Great visuals and art. Combat is a good balance of flash and enough depth that it isn't button mashing. Great music. Dialogue and writing can be hit or miss although mostly it is miss, although it doesn't stop the characters from being at least likable.

    Prostredie, postavy, dabing aj soundtrack sú fakt top a súbojový system funguje perfektne (hrám na normal a každý súboj som si fakt užil), preskúmavam každý kút mapy a mám splnené všetky vedľajšie questy (síce nie su jedny z najoriginálnejších ale na druhú stranu nie su ani zlé a dokážu tiež dosť zabaviť)
    Hlavného hrdinu Clouda som si obľúbil už v deme takže som s ním nemal problém a fakt mi sadol
    Ale nechcem sa tu ale moc rozpisovať kvôli spoilerom (a písanie recenzií mi moc nejde) tak to skrátim:

    Na to že je to hra do ktorej som šiel ''naslepo'' tak sa parádne bavím
    Či už ste fanúšikom Final Fantasy alebo je toto ''vaše poprvé'' tak určite odporúčam (ale pre istotu aby ste 60€ nehodili do vetra radím vyskúšať demo ak ste tak ešte neurobili)

    Настоящая JRPG хороший сюжет, почти каждый персонаж яркий и запоминающийся, есть даже щепотка фан сервиса. Из минусов нет полноцнной поддержки мониторов 21:9, хотя есть фиксы от сообщества и местами плохая навигация.

That coupled with sometimes a little too many enemy encounters throughout the many labyrinths culminate into some repetitiveness.

Es ist nahezu ein Wunder, das wir heute ein so hochwertiges Spiel in der Hand haben, das zudem den originalen Spirit von FFVII so gut in ein modernes Game Design transferieren konnte. Vieles an diesem Spiel ist fantastisch. Zumindest bis wir zum großen Showdown des Spiels kommen. Square Enix what have you done? Warum alles Pulver in einer Stunde verschießen. Wie soll ein zweiter Teil da noch weiter machen können? Zudem - die Idee mit der Meta Ebene des Schicksals ist brilliant, aber hätte man diese nicht subtiler ins Spiel fügen können? Warum gleich im ersten Teil alles teasen und die Karten so offen auf den Tisch legen? Wir werden sehn wie Square Enix den Löwen wieder in den Käfig kriegen will in einer Fortsetzung. Ich kann mir nicht gut vorstellen wie das funktionieren soll. Von dieser Kritik einmal abgesehen ist FFVII Remake ein fantastisches Spiel, das den Geist vom vermutlich besten Final Fantasy der Seriengeschichte gekonnt in eine neue Generation trägt.… Expand

    Well, 23 years after the original, Squarenix finally released the first game of the "remake" of the legendary FFVII i enjoyed when i was a kid.

    I can't deny it, i enjoyed this remake very much. It's not perfect of course, some textures issue, sometimes to be picky the balance of the battle system could be improved. Also i'm not a big fan of THE major addition to the story(but the story follow the big lines of the original anyway for a big part).

    However, the overall game is so pleasant to play, the story is so interesting to follow, there is a great job made on the characters personnality, very faithfull to the original but more deep. The combat system is also great, it capture the spirit of the ATB system but combined with action features.

    However, the feeling is very dynamic but not 100% action, you can not dodge everything, you have to switch you characters often to fill the ATB bar(the game make you play your team, not just one character, like the original!), you have to parry more than you have to dodge, and it's a gameplay choice.

    The materia system is back, and it's one of the core of combat like it was in 1997. The difficulty is not better than the orginal, except for boss that are for me a bit more difficult than the old FFVII. If you want to enjoy the battle system at his best, you can unlock a "difficult mod."
    Anyway, this battle system is pretty good, even very good.

    At the end, we have here a nice battle system fun, dynamic, and strategic, and it does'nt feel like another a-rpg.

    Musics are also awesome, just a few are a bit "unexpected", but the big majority are just so good. Also, despite textures problem sometimes, the game look great, characters models are perfect, and Midgar atmosphere is amazing, with a very good job made on lighting. The night is probably where the city shine the best.

    Now we have to wait for the sequel, and it will be another challenge for Kitase and Nomura's team.
    But this first game for me is already a very good start, i can't wait for the part II! Even if i'm pretty sure there will be a part III, maybe a part IV, we don't know.    … Expand

    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.

    Now this is how you remake a game. This is very good, and lives up to its legacy.

Playing through the game on hard mode was very challenging and kept me in rapt attention, because the combat system in this game is very good; an excellent mix of action-oriented and tactical gameplay. I haven't had this much fun in an RPG since Divinity Original Sin 2.

    The reason I can't give it a higher score is that it's a fairly linear experience. This has the benefit of giving focus to the story since you always know what you're doing, but the lack of freedom often feels restrictive, and you get stuff like the shoehorned motorcycle section, or endless corridor levels. It's really close to being a 9 though because the combat and game balance are so good.    … Expand

    Might be a little confusing for newcomers, but hey you don’t have to wait to play the original. I suggest playing Remake, playing original, and then replaying Remake on hard mode. Basically only purists won’t enjoy this game, even though most of the game follows the same beats and pretty much everything that happens in the original, happens in the remake.

    Story wise I was over the moon with it, yes even the ending I very much enjoyed, I suppose that could change as the sequels are released but as it currently stands alone I loved it.

    Everything from the original (from Midgar) is here and even expanded upon, from the Honey Bee Inn, to the different sectors, to all the chracters with everything being given more detail and character, new plots threads and characters turn up and honestly for the better in my opinnion.

    Side quests aren't as abundent as other RPG's bug there is still a healthy amount of game to play and things to do. From summons to re-experiencing the materia system.

    Honestly I could gush about the game all day but I won't go further than this.

    My only gripe and this is a minor nitpick waas the occasional texture pop-in, mainly around Sector 7.

    If you loved the original then I recommend this game highly, though bare in mind this isn't a REMAKE, it's more of a 'Retelling'.    … Expand

    I love how every character has depth, flaws, and redeeming qualities that make them all feel larger than life. Everyone copes with their trauma differently.

    FF VII subtly yet masterfully takes on modern-day problems that ail the real world, and demonstrates that there's meaning in suffering for causes greater than oneself. FF VII hammers home the notion that the most important thing we have is each other, and that we must all do our part to fight the forces that attempt to strip us of our humanity (income inequality, climate change, corporate authoritarianism).

    The original is quite possibly my all-time fav game. It no doubt left a mark on me that's made me the man I am today. The remake exceeded my expectations and is an absolute joy to relive. I only wish I could continue playing.    … Expand

It does not reach the overall peaks of the best jrpg in PS4 so far (Nier Automata) as it focuses more on storytelling than on the actual rpg(istic) depth and experience. But it excels in telling a story as no other (final fantasy) game did in the last years did (putting aside the fact that you like or don't like the script). The right score imho is 8. People of the '80s as me would have expected a slightly stronger effort from Square Enix in the FFVII remake, probably some different script choices, but i'm not disappointed at all, i have enjoyed a great experience and a great game.… Expand

    This game is dope. Graphics, story, and combat are top notch. I would highly recommend this to everyone. One thing that I found a bit annoying was Tifas boobs. They were too large for my taste.

    He de decir que yo no he jugado al Final Fantasy VII original, pero el juego me ha encantado y ha hecho que me entren ganas de jugar al original, que lo haré.

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 characters look more alive and complete with expressions and superb voice acting, especially Aerith and Tifa. And Midgar, wow just wow, is bustling with life, and the excellent soundtrack complements the various themes and stages. Once you play the game, you just want to continue to see how it will surprise you next. Downside, game is short, probably just 30% of the full story, and the motorbike mini-game is all eye-candy, and it seem confused on whether it wants to be Gran Turismo or GTA. Finished the game, and it was a fun ride, then waiting for the next installment, hopefully PS5 slims will be available at retail by then...    … Expand

    The story may alienate both new and veteran fans of FFVII due to it's complexity, straying from the original story. However the gameplay feels great and the graphics are next level even on a PS4 Slim.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is amazing. All the low review scores are people who don’t understand what this game was meant to be. It was never going to be a shot-for-shot remake and while the padding sometimes is a little much I really enjoyed it because it allowed me to spend more time with these characters and really fall in love with this world. Yes the ending was changed but that leads back into the name of the next part, Rebirth, implying that the game won’t stay the same because of the ending. Now that fate isn’t running the show anymore the game is free to change, and I feel that fact makes it worth 60 dollars every couple years, since it’s this long and it’s a new experience. 10/10 can’t wait to play again. also just thinking about some of the scenes in this game literally causes me to cry, or become irrationally happy, so if that helps to sell you on the game, please just buy it. to me, despite the few flaws, its my favorite.… Expand

    Amazing Combat Systems, great character work when the characters work they are great and when they don’t it’s funny. Some classic Japanese game moments like a dance scene or a flying house boss fight. My only problem is that some of the backgrounds look like **** green screens and it was a bit long in some places.

    Amazing experience.

    I loved diving deep into this universe. The characters attract you so hard to it. With some time, their future matter to you, and it's pretty natural. The story, eventually, grabs you either. In this case, graphics on PS4 make justice to the acting. So damn beautiful. The OST is on the same level. It just sticks on your head, no matter what. The gameplay was a    Amazing experience.

    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.    … Expand

    FF7R has the best gameplay combination of action rpg and ATB so far. World building is done incredibly, intriguing both veteran players and first timers. Graphics are a delight, we couldn’t expect more for a late ps4 game. Can’t wait for FFVII Rebirth.

    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?)

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    I do recommend this.

    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?
