    I have waited for this remake religiously ever since the ps3 tech demo way back when as this was my favourite game of all time and as you may be able to tell from the score, I was not disappointed in the slightest, every single moment you love from the original is here and it's recreated with state of the art graphics, sound and an incredible new combat system to boot!
    The ending might not be exactly what you expect if you played the original, it will be far more epic and it might scare you a little but don't worry, since everything we loved from the original is in this part, I have no doubt they're going to continue that this trend in the future!
    Even if they don't I was blown away by the quality and clear love out into this game by the decelelopment team and can't wait to see what the future holds for both the remake and future final fantasy games in general!    … Expand

It creates a more intimate experience, where characters have even more depth and detail than they did in the 1997 original. The combat system is unique yet familiar, and in my experience was one of the strongest aspects of the game. Character models are superb, and the voice acting is carefully written to appeal to fans of the game and newcomers alike (which for the most part, it succeeds).

    It’s important to note that this is not a piece by piece remake of the original, but rather a slightly reimagined take. I’ve been very skeptical with this game throughout my experience, but can ultimately say this is a great return to Midgar, one that is well worth your time whether you’re a seasoned vet or a complete newcomer. I’m curious to see where the next episode will take us.    … Expand

    Square has done a beautiful job recreating and even reimagining their cult classic. They have incorporated elements from so many of their original rpg systems flawlessly and creates a game as enrertainig to play as it is to enjoy the visuals.

In the original i didn't care for her as much. Here, i just love her and just love all the characters more because they are so 3 dimensional. The dialogue isn't cheesy, it's not cliche, nor is it a repeated script from the original. It's just so well done even in the voice acting.

    I love how that i'm also playing something new, not another port with just updated graphics, but a game in where I have to learn and don't know what happen nexts and regardless of it being new it still gives me the sense consistency and connection with the original.

    The music is all great. It's such an excellent sound track. It fits every scene well and just gives all forms of emotion from hype, enjoyment, to even a sweet sense of nostalgia.

    The gameplay is 100% fun. Even what most ATB traditionalist refer to as padding is still great in my opinion. It just gets you more engaged and immersed with these characters which is something that old-school atb's didn't do. You just fully feel like you are playing and becoming these characters in action.

    It is clear Square put in a lot of love in this game and I highly thank them for this. If the next parts keep this up (or get better) this may become top FF of all time, and just based on it being the 1st half it's highly likely that it will.    … Expand

    waiting so long for FFXV get dissapointed story was messed up they totaly ruined one the game with potential boring combat just mash button and you win the game i get bored feeling when i played this one.

    waiting so long for KH3 a little bit dissapointed gameplay too easy when your get your form you win every enemies get the same way to defeat, just play because i love the story get bored to when i played this one.
    waiting so long for FFVIIR Remake i'm not dissapointed at all SE.

    Story Telling is marvelous every conversation every joke every moment every event narrated very well. japanese voice actor and english voice actor was a blast.
    when that nostalgic hits you with certain character damn that feeling was so damn good and they done it very well.

    Combat and Gameplay
    I Personally realy love the idea when they combine both classic turn based gameplay with latest nowadays action game. It is a Hybrid Action Turn based games really love the slow-mo moment when you can rotate the character and think how to beat the enemies.
    The Battle is not just mashing buttons like FFXV and KH3 it is about strategy and building it you need to observe the enemy that makes this game battle not boring at all. different enemies different beatdown manner.
    Every Boss battle was memorable for me their have every stage with different approach to beat theme i really love it.

    Music in game
    This piece of OST is magnificently done by the team they turn the old piece of theme into the new fantastic piece, they place the music so fit in the story the moment the event in everything that match the atmospher so well.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake not lost it's "magical captivity" that is there in the Original FFVII which that magical push of magic that made you want to play the game more and more and make this game not boring at all.
    like the previous KH3 and FFXV which get boring in certain parts of the game.

    Overall this game is worth to buy and play what lack are materia, Skill, Limit, Weapon, we need more of them maybe because this is just the first part of the game.
    i guess if in normal mode you there is no that "magical chair" and you save only in certain point in this game it will be more challenging,
    anddd
    it is not a full game!
    which is impossible to be just release within one.

    What leaves the this game not rated so good is the "Controversial" step that Square enix took from this game.

    But i Dare to say i dare to see what kind of step that they would take and very looking forward to it!    … Expand

Midgar itself is stunning; Wall Market when seen at night time is a particular highlight for me. Unfortunately, some of the NPCs look very janky and out of place but on the whole the game is stunning and has a fantastic soundtrack.

    Gameplay-wise the combat is an interesting blend between real-time action with turned based combat. While it can be fun majority of the time, some of the game's encounters can feel unfair and frustrating. One of the biggest flaws is the lack of a 'Gambit' system, like in XII. When you're controlling one character at a time, the AI on whoever you're not currently playing as can sometimes make stupid choices, like not moving out of the way of an enemy's attack or running into combat when they're nearly about to die. The overall gameplay experience was still more positive than negative and I look forward to seeing it improved in the next instalment. The game's side quests are also pretty lacklustre, and you unfortunately are doing yourself a disservice if you ignore them since they contain a lot of very useful items and upgrades.

    Despite these flaws, the game overall comes out as a fantastic experience and I do look forward to playing the next game. I recommend that people play the original first however, since I strongly feel that it's necessary to fully appreciate Remake.    … Expand

    I got finished with the main story a few days ago, and I'm having fun the some post-game features, but over all this was the best game (and best Final Fantasy entry) I've experienced in many years. I loved seeing all the old locales recreated with beautiful graphics, though the change from the old 'grunge' and fantasy-modern look to just modern of some of the scenery is a shame.

I loved the music. I especially loved the fact that character interactions, and just time spent together, was heavily expanded from what was original a fairly brief period. I don't agree with complaints about what changes there are being bad or the story gripes; I loved all of it and I'm excited to see where the future adventures go.

    I will take a point off a perfect score; (because no game is perfect, and) many of the sidequests are forgettable and unimportant busywork that don't really show us anything new except XIII style hallways with a fight at the end. Also due to the fact that far too many areas that took five minutes in the classical game have been needlessly expanded into hour long slogs of fighting and running down linear halls, only enjoyable for any banter within the party, and only serving to pad out the game when the original claim was that they struggled to fit more than Midgar into the first entry. If you removed two thirds of the padding, only leaving the sidequests tied to the original game (such as those in Wall Street), you would have had a tighter experience that could have stretched to Kalm.

    All these things are knitpicks through. Overall I honestly feel the game was a masterpiece and I'm anticipating the next entry in a way I haven't looked forwards to something in years.    … Expand

Boundaries are designed in such a way as to feel somewhat intuitive to keep the pace flowing, but also narrows exploration. I suspect this was an intentional compromise. On the one hand it creates a heightened sense of urgency to the events unfolding, but also limits how much processing is needed on-screen. - Story is nice, but the new additions might potentially be worse than keeping with the original. - Battle and music are perfect and enjoyable.… Expand

However, the reason I decided to play this game was because the combat looked really good and I enjoyed it in the demo. If this game was not an action RPG I would have not purchased it.

    The game took me 46 hours to finish and it was absolutely amazing. The combat is really deep and makes you adapt depending on who you are fighting. Simple enemies could seem impossible to kill at first but once you figure out how to exploit their weakness with spells and abilities they can be killed very quickly. This goes the same with bosses you fight. Each boss had their own set of attacks, strengths, and weaknesses you had to figure out. You would struggle and die a lot if you decided to just hack and slash with certain enemies so you basically need to experiment with spells, abilities, weapons, and Materia for each character you play as. The abilities each weapon has can be very powerful, useful, flashy, and fun to use.

    The story was very long, but very well made and very immersive. I never played the original so I did not have any expectations with the story. The character development it very good and makes me care about all the main characters involved. I see why so many people love Cloud, because he is an absolute badass.

    Only downside is the inconsistency of the graphics. Characters look amazing but some environmental object seem like they were made from Minecraft. Other than that, the game was well worth my time and money. I can tell Square Enix put a lot of time and passion into this game. Amazing job!    … Expand

    Extremely enjoyable 40 hours. Having played the original and still own the discs purchased on release day years ago, I can say I enjoyed this re-imagining. The game is linear (which I believe is perfect for the story telling), has a great cast and gives insights into the world not seen in the original. It has minor imperfections but it is a must play game of 2020.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best modern traditional FF to date. This game really hits out the park where it needs it to be Emotional, Nostalgia, Music, Combat, Characters and etc. Around 95% of this game is a master piece aside from ending. The story depends how well the story plays out the next parts until then i can't really gives it a score. No game is perfect there's is some textures problem in this game although there are times i don't believe its ps4 game on how well its looks. Not bothered that is not a full game from the original since they fleshed out midgar to be a full game play experience. As well i rather they take full advantage next gen console for open world aspects of the game 60 fps and faster loading times would make it much better experience, so i do think they did the right call there.

    Postive:
    + Amazing combat system a staple for next parts
    + Music is a Masterpiece captures emotion and environment perfectly
    + Nailed the characters
    + Good VA
    + The game feels alive

I think they have finally returned to form for creating an awesome final fantasy game that blows away most other video games in terms of sheer scope and quality. I also really enjoyed the additional re-imagined content that helps give more depth to the city of Midgar.

Long time fans of the hit action RPG will certainly find this a thrill ride down nostalgia lane with a slap to the face of breathtaking visuals, and sound design, especially when it comes to the re-imagined soundtrack. New comers may not be hit with the same feeling however, they'll be blown away by the same factors for sure, but may feel a bit underwhelmed by the basic combat system, sub-par level design which lacks an open world, and mediocre side quests. The story remains, of course, true to the original, but there are a few new twists that will leave new comers wanting more, and call into question what fans already know, leaving a lot of intrigue for both of those people. This, along with the voice casts near-flawless depictions of the characters will have you wanting more long after it's over.

    I want to take a minute to regard the soundtrack further, the new re-imagining of these classics will leave you astounded. Whether it be, "Let the Battles begin!" "Those who Fight" "Crazy Motorcycle Chase" or even one other track which I won't spoil. The original artist and his team have truly outdone themselves.

    As a long time fan of the orginal, I will give this game a 9/10. As a critic, I can see the small areas where the REMAKE falls just a tad bit short. If I was more of a critic, I would give it a 7 or 8. However, despite that fact, I find it incredibly confusing and unbelievable that some supposed "fans" of the original game give this a 0/10, it's darn near criminal, this is a fantastic game that will leave anyone who plays it breathless, and wanting more.

    As for negatives, again, the combat system is very simplistic mechanic wise, but the original was that way too. Aerial combat is specifically bothersome, as it doesn't allow for variety when aerial, the best bet at this point is to use one of the ranged characters, but it seems upsetting when the main character is known for being an agile warrior, even when airbourne. There are some texture issues here and there, but they're far and few between to notice, the only one that popped out for me was one of the metal doors. The weapon upgrade system can be a bit tedious, but manageable. Level design and pacing is a bit droll at times. It's really just "do the thing, then go here." Other than those few minor elements, no complaints. I can tell Square Enix put a lot of time and effort into this, and it does show.

    In conclusion, I would highly recommend this to anyone, gamer, or casual.    … Expand

    A fresh new take on the classic story we all know and love. Visuals and voice acting are both amazing as well as gameplay. Unfortunately, there really is only 50-60 hours worth of content, and half of it is just replaying the story on hard mode. I hope for a more open experience in the coming installments, but for the game presented at hand, it is nothing short of a masterpiece.

It blends so well between action and turnbase. On the other hand, the story of FFVII, which should be the apex of gaming, has become somewhat questionable in remake. I don't want to spoil anything here let say the story is disappointed in my view. Not only it became super extended (which I felt bored in some sections), It also added some annoying things, which made the story hard to understand especially for new comers. The pacing is quite slow. Sidequests, only few I like, mostly are uninteresting. Final chapter is more like FFVII advent children style, very exciting but vaguely understandable.

    On the bright side, not only combat is very amazing, the animation and voice actors are top-notch as well. Characters look very beautiful. Moreover, enemy variety here is godly superb. There are so many of them and each one is different. I never played any game that has these many types of enemy before. It is mind blowing how much effort devs put in this game. Music is perfect too. I always love ost of FFVII and the remake did it even better.

    In summary, FFVII remake is an outstanding game and contender of GOTY for sure. Unfortunately for me as a fan of OG, I did not appreciated what devs messed with story (and the slow pace too). Anyway, I still encourage everyone to play. Just combat alone is enough reason for everyone who call himself gamer to try it, since it is worth calling evolution of gaming.    … Expand

    Only issues was how incredibly short the game length is. The re-imagined story is amazing but with this new way of releasing Ff7 in bits, I have to point out how Ff7 remake feels like it's going to cut too many corners eventually. We'll have to see how expansive the open world is in part 2.

    A great remake of an absolute classic in the game world. Brilliant music, great graphics, incredible characters and a brisk and varied combat system are essential core elements for a wonderful new edition of Final Fantasy 7. 9.5 / 10

    Enjoyed every second of the game, my favourite PS4 game.
    The battle system was fun, combining fast paced action with strategy.
    The story line was brilliant.
    I can’t wait for part 2.

    A flawless game. Complete masterpiece. I have never seen a game made with such care ever. Hit everything perfectly. Ignore any review that down rates based on it not being a shot-for-shot re-skin, that is a ridiculous expectation, and would of been a extremely terrible game that only lasted 7 hours. instead I had 60+ hours of perfectly crafted immersive content that had me enthralled fromA flawless game.

    Before playing this game, I bought the original ff7 in my Nintendo switch, and played through the game in 50 hrs. I can totally understand what made this game a legend. ff7 re is doing a great job so far. My only concern to it is whether it could maintain this quality in the later chapters.

Maybe I am not an old fan of this game, so I could not understand some old player’s negative opinion to the plot change. It is a little boring to see the plot goes in the same way for me personally. Anyway, it is too early to judge the plot for now since it is just the chapter one for the whole game. My experience so far is perfect.… Expand

    Great Midgar Remake!
    High class character interactions implemented in a demanding, partly uncertain storyline. The player characters simply live in this game. But the sequel won't be a remake anymore. That's for sure..... Remember,..... the seven seconds..... ;)

    I loved how the team decided to make a remake but also change the story a bit. I really like the direction it's taking and can't wait to play the rest. (And that ending... amazing)
    Not to talk about the music, design, writing, character development, voice acting..
    Everything's top notch! Just wish that some of the side quests were more fun and engaging. But still, amazing game! I'm looking forward to the next parts!    … Expand

    Depois de mais de 15 anos a espera valeu a pena!! O jogo é incrível!!! O enredo foi aprofundado e foi dado muito mais emoção e carisma para os personagens, fui jogando e as lágrimas rolaram, nostalgia pura... jogo épico! O ponto mais forte na minha opinião é o sistema de batalha que ficou PERFEITO!!! Nota 1000!!

    Awesome game, well worth the wait. Ending has done exactly as intended with generating interest and excitement with the sequels.

    Amazing soundtrack, intuitive and highly rewarding battle system, characters are memorable and are given so much new life.

    El mejor juego del año actual hasta la fecha, excelentes mecánicas de combate, soundtrack nostálgico, excelente diseño de personajes principales. La historia a pesar de que fue cambiada en algunos aspectos en lo personal no me molesto para.

    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?
