    Cute, smart and fun title! I remember the original game, which still is one of my favourite titles. remake of the FF7 is a true to its core, and at the same time, it's a completely new experience! Higly recommended!

The battle system is something i have never experience and i give it a 10/10 alone, at first i was focusing on battling with one character but by the end i was switching around like an adhd maniac enjoying it all. What Square Enix and their team was able to accomplish is truly a site to behold and bare witness. It is safe to say i am more excited to see what is to come in the future. 10/10 for me. Expand

Graphics are beyond FFXV or almost anything I saw to date. Game brings nostalgic music remixed to the brink of total originality, worth waiting for OST. We find in FF7R the best gameplay mechanics we seen in any Final Fantasy to date. Battle is engaging and fast yet strategic and requires costant thought. I'd like to have all FFs remade just to incorporate this specific gameplay system. It's just an essence of FUN. Only suffering is waiting for the next part. May it be at least half that good, and I am ready to play. Expand

    I was concerned the magic of the original game would be lost in this effort.
    I was wrong. The game is excellent and very well polished. While the new 3d mechanics will never be the same as the old sprite animations and 2d transition screens, those technologies are part of the past.

    If I have to move a critique, would be too many cutscenes. I remember when I was a kid, cutscenes were my favorite as they were such great video quality compared to the game.. they were also few and far between. That is no longer the case, but perhaps younger players appreciate them.

Да, в игре бывают очень интересные и затягивающие бои, но боёвка нуждается в небольших доработках. Так, например, можно было бы добавить паттерны действий для соратников, чтобы не приходилось каждый раз давать команды каждому из них (как, например, в Dragon Age Origins), ии сопартийцев периодически заводит их в очень болезненные ловушки, таким образом очень нелепо усложняя геймплей. Например, союзник имея 1hp не думая дважды бросится на врага, вместо того, чтобы избежать схватки и восстановить драгоценное здоровье. Да, можно переключиться на него на некоторое время, но параллельно другие персонажи (те, которыми не управляет игрок) отправляются совершать глупости и самоубиваться. Некоторые бои плохо сбалансированы, есть противники, которые не дают окна для атаки и весь бой ты держишь кнопку блока, вытягивая жизни противника союзниками, которых вражеский юнит абсолютно игнорирует. Из минусов отмечу ещё ОЧЕНЬ надоедливую музыку в некоторых локациях. В целом саундтрек игры приятный, но есть крайне концептуальные треки, которые после минуты прослушивания начинают капать на мозги. Во всём остальном игра прекрасна и я с нетерпением жду продолжения ремейка. Expand

    FF7 remake was a good RPG. The story was only a small part of the original. But they did expend on it, especially on what Shinra and Avalanche were.

Still it's a quality production with 32 hours if you do all the side quests. I give it 78%. It is still an part one of something bigger, so, an incomplete story with a very bad ending.

    I never finished the original FF7 but I have gotten to disc 3 probably twice back in the day. I watched my friend beat it when it originally came out. I did not particularly have any fondness for the series but I acknowledge its importance. I tell you that so you know what colours my experience with this remake. On the whole, I really liked this!

I did not particularly have any fondness for the series but I acknowledge its importance. I tell you that so you know what colours my experience with this remake.

    On the whole, I really liked this! There are pacing issues and story issues and remake issues but overall this improves my engagement with the story as a whole. I think one of its faults is you MUST know the original FF7 to really "engage with the text".

    I think the Kingdom Hearts-esque combat and the story will be enough for people new to the story to hold on to but to really appreciate what it is doing and where it is going an understanding of its subversion is needed.

    The fact that the original came out before 9/11 and this one is after that is truly reflected in the story even though this is a Japanese game it is impossible not to see certain parallels. I like that it has really leftist political talking points, even if it sometimes fumbles it, I think it does some good stuff. Unfortunately, it also seems like a Libertarian can also feel like their beliefs are being reflected.

    The give-and-take I feel is reflected in the final hours. I love the story, the lore, and where the narrative went... BUT, the combat suddenly flips you around in different party settings in a way that bogs you down with managing builds and materia. Like the fighting gets in the way of keeping the pace.

    All-in-all this has me more interested in the future of the series where before I was not interested or excited about this game at all.

    I want to start this review off by stating that I have never played a FF game before this one, including the original. Therefore, I'm reviewing this game as if it was in a vacuum, essentially not if it was faithful to the original or not.

    I want to start this review off by stating that I have never played a FF game before this one, including the original. Therefore, I'm reviewing this game as if it was in a vacuum, essentially not if it was faithful to the original or not.

    With that being said...

    This game is absolutely fantastic. Totally worth the purchase price and it comes with a 30+ hour story that consists of only the first third of the entire game. Speaking of which, the story was absolutely fantastic and drew me in on an emotional level that I had never really experienced with any other game before. All of the characters were incredibly intriguing I and loved watching their connections develop. The voice acting is superb, and the graphics are absolutely phenomenal.

    I adore the combat system, and how mechanical skill can play a contributing factor to the fight as a whole. I went into this game thinking it would be a turn based RPG, but was pleasantly surprised to find a combat system which allowed the player to dictate the pacing of the fight. New Materia and Weapon Abilities can be unlocked as well, allowing you to customize your party members to fight in the way that you want them to, which allows for a great deal of experimentation.

    I also want to address some of the more negative reviews I have read on the site. First of all, I see many people claim that the sidequests are just "boring filler" and do not actually contribute anything of note to the game. While they are very surface level and boring at times, it is crucial to understand that these sidequests are completely o p t i o n a l. The player is in no way forced to complete these missions, aside from 2 or 3 in Chapter 9, but that's it. Their sole purpose is to determine a couple of different cutscenes and outfits you can obtain later in the game, so if that doesn't sound important to you then don't bother. I completed all of them my first playthrough, and while boring, doing every single one in a chapter never took more than an hour at most.

    Secondly, many people have brought up the issue of grinding for EXP, and my response to that would be...what game are you playing? I never once encountered a fight which seemed too difficult to overcome which forced me to go out and grind my character's levels (on Normal and Hard difficulty). If you're struggling that much with a particular battle, you need to maybe try and play around your party's strengths and weaknesses to a greater level, or dare I say it, just get better at the game. Again, your mechanical skill and knowledge of the fight is incredibly important in this game, and if that's something you need to improve then so be it.

    Overall, I adore this game. the more and more I think about it, I start to realize that what makes this game so good is that you really feel like the hero of this world, and I think many games of the same style today fail to capture that. Cloud as a character is more than enough to convey that, but when you start to uncover the relationships he forms with the characters around him, it's more whole, more real. I have no idea how this game compares to its predecessor, but judging it as a standalone title, I cannot recommend it enough. This game is fantastic. I'm excited for Part 2.

    My only minor complaints would be the battles with "certain characters" that you do not get to kill, and keep coming back (which I'm sure is neccesary for the story line of the entire franchise, but it felt unsatisfying to me). And the endless little moments of "are they going to say what they feel about eachother" and then not saying it (but that is probably just a very japanesy thing to do...).

Gameplay is not turn based, but from my aspect that is completely fine since this type always keeps you on your toes when in combat. While this is only part 1 and I expect at least 2 more to come, this one definitely makes you more exciting for the future parts.

    I think square did an amazing job bringing not only the nostalgia along with the newest things like side quests that envolves cloud and helps to really know characters like Jessie's amazing role and background. The music... What to say.. Square nailed it! Great songs a little different but still carries ff7 og soul.
    The grafics they're really looking good, character detail gorgeous, and I'm playing in a non pro ps4.
    Só let's get to the point that I "personally" didn't appreciate, and a Spoiler too.
    I think square has a plan with this game story but the way that ends, like challenging fate etc,that could be a problem in the next games, because they have shown a lot of characters that should have been dead but now they're alive in another time-line.
    And that's another let down for me, why complicate a simple linear story with future time-lines and vilains from the future.. It's a mess.
    So in the end this is not a remake but a re-write or a sequel to the original story.
    Still,thank you square and congratulations on the amazing game that you put out.

    Final Fantasy VII: Remake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    First Playthrough: 40h

    Final Fantasy VII is one of those games that I would instantly call a classic and childhood favourite. However, after playing this remake, I don't know if I can do back to the original with the same perspective; as this remake not only improves the combat system but also the character development for everyone in this crazy world.

    PROS:
    - Gameplay (The combat system is brilliant and combines the realtime RPG elements within a turn-based system)
    - Materia and Weapon Upgrade System
    - Characters (Everyone is improved in every way and hear there banters throughout the journey puts a smile on your face)
    - World Building
    - Story and Writing (Expect for some elements)
    - Acting
    - Overall Presentation and Animation
    - Additional Dialogue and Chapters
    - Sound Design and Music Track
    - Boss Battles
    - Mini-Games and Side Activities
    - After Game Bonuses
    - Platinum Trophy (Has a fun challenge that won't rip the hairs out of your head)

    CONS:
    - Side Missions
    - Pacing (Some chapters just don't work and I think everyone can agree with what those are)
    - Ending (I'm not fully sold but I'm still open)
    - Presentation (While for the most part it's beautiful, sometimes this game has some really bad low texture renders and can look muddy)

    In the end, this game redefines the concept of what a remake should be and it's with that reason why I'm excited to see what the second part has to offer. While I am cautious about the story direction, I'm still willing to play through this journey like the original and cry my eyes out when certain events occur.

    VERDICT: PLAY IT

    Muy recomendable. Me ha encantado. Bonita historia y gran combate a tiempo real a partes iguales.

    Aspectos positivos:

    - El sistema de combate, desde mi punto de vista, es intachable. Me parece "simple" pero a la vez con muchas posibilidades, y cuanto más se avanza en el juego más versátil se vuelve. Digo simple en cuanto a que no necesitas estrujarte la cabeza para sacarle mucho partido.
    - La banda sonora acompaña en todo instante y lo hace increíblemente bien desde los momentos más pausados a los más frenéticos. Aunque he de decir que conmigo lo tenían fácil porque me gusta mucho la música de orquesta.
    - La historia es bonita. No es la mayor ida de olla que se puede ver, pero la trama entretiene a los que no hemos jugado al original lo cual me parece digno de señalar puesto que según he leído esta parte solo ocupa el equivalente al principio del título del que proviene. Quiero decir, aguanta el ritmo durante las casi 40 horas que dura la historia principal.
    - Los personajes principales tienen mucho carisma. Según avanza la trama les coges más y más cariño.
    - Los gráficos son increíbles, y las animaciones de combate no tienen nada que envidiar a nadie.
    - Tanto el doblaje en inglés como los subtítulos me han parecido muy buenos. Tengo la ventaja de entender inglés moderadamente bien y he podido ver las diferencias entre lo que decían las voces en inglés y los subtítulos en castellano. Varían algunas frases, en la forma de hablar, pero eso es con motivo de la adaptación, y opino que está muy bien conseguida. Vamos, que no he percibido ningún error de traducción, así que las personas que se vean obligadas a entender los diálogos solo a través de los subtítulos en castellano, pueden estar tranquilos porque es una buena traducción.
    - Estéticamente me parece muy bonito. Los menús son agradables de ver.

    Aspectos negativos (no son cosas con las que me hierva la sangre, pero sí que quiero compartirlo):

    - En ocasiones el apartado gráfico deja que desear. Solo son dos o tres escenarios del juego, pero usan un recurso para completar la estampa que no me termina de convencer. Son escenarios en los que todo está perfectamente renderizado salvo por lo que se muestra en segundo plano, que da la impresión de ser una imagen estática y encima es muy borrosa. Hay un capítulo en el que estás en una posición elevada y si te asomas, puedes ver la parte de ciudad que es inferior a ti; pues bien, ese fondo es todo una imagen estática muy borrosa, y que encima si desplazas la cámara un poco, la imagen se distorsiona completamente y queda aún más patente que es un fondo sin animar. Entiendo que es difícil hacer un fondo entero en 3D en máquinas de hace 7 años, pero para hacer eso yo creo que hubiese sido mejor ocultar ese fondo con una niebla o hacerlo parcialmente y hacer un fondo vivo pero más pequeño. Aunque este punto ha sido extenso, ha sido para aclarar a qué me refería, pero no quiere decir que me parezca un pecado. Para mí es un detalle sin mucha importancia, pero muy cutre (he de decir que cuando lo ví, me reí).
    - Las misiones secundarias se hacen pesadas. Hay algún capítulo que bajo mi punto de vista tiene demasiadas. Sus incentivos son que consigues objetos interesantes y que puedes ver un poco más de la personalidad de los personajes, un acercamiento a ellos, pero algunas son aburridas o te hacen ir de un lado a otro y no siempre compensa.

    - Si vas a por el platino, que sepas que tienes que pasarte la historia dos veces (cosa que no me agrada ni un pelo en un juego que requiere 40 horas de media para pasártelo solo una vez).
    - Algunas habilidades no te dicen del todo lo que hacen y para sacarles provecho tienes que ir probándolas en diferentes situaciones. Esta es una de las veces en las que tiene su gracia que no te expliquen todo.

    Probably the best RPG of 2020, lots of great moment, full of nostalgia for the older players, and a great introduction for the final fantasy VII world to the new players. I couldn't stop till I see the end of the game, even thought I've already finished it many times in the original version. A must play to any RPG fun, for sure.

    Final Fantasy 7 Remake was released on April 10, 2020, exactly 3 months ago today when Im making this review.

I´ve played the game once to its completion, but I also started a second playthrough and replayed a lot of the chapters. That being said, I need to admit that this game, for me, was something else and its hard to say why I feel like that, its my second Final Fantasy I´ve played, the first being FF15 (which I love, but I admit that its a broken mess), but this actually made me feel more than 15. The characters, the music, the visuals (except in some parts, like times in the day were things looked not so great), the story, the jokes, I felt genuine joy throughout the whole game. It was a nice experience, one that I will not forget anytime soon and I hope other remake games try to do something like FF7 Remake.

    With all that out of the way, the gameplay. is it good?, yes, fun?, yes, combos with characters and stringing attacks? oh hell yes. its great always in my opinion, i hope the second game gets even crazier with its characters and abilities, upgrades, just everything (air combat sucks though, like its really bad). I loved that this game was fun, and it sounds stupid, but last year was very boring for me. Played RE and DMC 5, but after that everything was dull or not so great and fun, but this was refreshing, its a very fun and serious game, with great and goofy moments and the gameplay packs a punch and I haven't played hard mode, but apparently enemies change a little bit, so that sounds fun.

    The story is fun, feels like you are surrounded by a great movie cast or anime cast and it feels very 90s to me, loved the the dynamic and the chemistry with everyone. Everyone goes through something in this game Cloud, Barret, TIfa, Aerith, Biggs, Jessie, Wedge, Marlene, Reno, Rude, Sephiroth, the teacher from the orphanage, I can keep going and its because i connected with the characters, for some reason i was very into it. And the world building and the setups for bigger things in the future. I feel like im rambling, but this game had me liked that for weeks, even now, i just wanted to talk about it.

    I guess its my type of game. the setting is awesome, the armors and the swords, but then there's cars and guns and this cyberpunk feel, its great. If you like that and anime, you´ll like this, i know.
    Some things that I specifically enjoyed while playing: the bike sequences, Jessie and Cloud, just basic interactions between the main cast, Cloud playing dress-up and dancing in the HoneyBee inn, that's just a few.
    This game is not for everyone, but i love it so much that i can recommended to anyone. it has its flaws its loading sections that irritate everyone, weird scenes sometimes because of voice acting, bad aerial combat, but overall i saw this as the new era for action Final Fantasy games, this just destroys FF15 in basically every way and as a standalone game without thinking of the original, its a pretty solid game. Its fun, the wait was worth it, wanted this game since they announced it and it blew me away. I could talk forever about this game, but that enough, go play it if you can. The future of this franchise its exciting and I cannot wait for the sequel. This review doesn't make a lot of sense, but I just love this game so much, so i needed to put that out there.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake é uma obra prima, que pega o original e o expande de uma maneira incrível. O desenvolvimento dos personagens secundários e a relação e o crescimento pessoal do Cloud é cativante. O jogo só não é nota 10 devido a algumas quests secundarias, que são fracas. O Combate, dialogos e as cenas marcantes são incriveis. Sem contar na trilha sonora que é uma verdadeira OBRA PRIMA. 7 CDs de trilha sonora é algo surreal. Portanto minha nota é 9. Expand

The HDR implementation is just awesome. I’m happy that Square choose the right technology, not that luminous engine from FFXV, also they decide for non-openworld in favor of better graphic capacities (like the remaster of RE2/RE3). That was the right descision and really important for the success of the remaster of this game!

    I hope that episode 2 or maybe 3 comes out also very soon. The splitted story is the only drawback, it could become the biggest issue of the game as long they aren‘t released.

    All in all when it should come down to one word: Glorious!

I wanna keep this spoiler-free, so I just will say the total score I would give this game depends on the second part. I want them to keep the psychology and all the stuff about Cloud.

    The Good
    This game has a pretty good presentation, introducing you to a series of endearing and lovable characters throughout the story, the cinematics after each character are pretty rewarding, and the visuals are stunning.

    The sidequests have a good background, getting you involved to solving them, also there are hidden rewarding cutscenes after complete all the sidequests of a region.

    The battle system is dynamic and fun, a good deal between an action game and turn base strategy game, also appropriate level of option to level up your gear and personalize your weapons via materias.

    The Bad
    The journey feels interrupted in some areas were you will be able to complete some sidequests, the main problem is that these sidequest are attached to story characters, then you can't save then for later, if you want to have the optional content you will have to complete these right away, in some moments this could ends up felling like homework instead cool optional content.

    The normal difficulty (the max difficulty for a first play) could feels a bit easy, making it possible to beat the game without pay attention to the enemies weaknesses or even leveling up your gear.

    this game is incredible but there are weird choices for the game like making it ps4 exclusive there was no point because no other game is like this except final fantasy 14. also (this is just opinion) when attacking you have to hold square down and it penalizes you for rapidly tapping it, for example with barret if you spam square he stops shooting after a second but if you hold it down hethis game is incredible but there are weird choices for the game like making it ps4 exclusive there was no point because no other game is like this except final fantasy 14. also (this is just opinion) when attacking you have to hold square down and it penalizes you for rapidly tapping it, for example with barret if you spam square he stops shooting after a second but if you hold it down he keeps shooting. but those are my only complaints, overall this game is 10/10 material but they made weird choices in some cases Expand

    Definitely a bit slow but makes it all worth it, graphics, story and chafacters are 10/10 and the combat system is the most fun I've had since FFXIV.

    This game is awesome... The gameplay, OST, new content, minigames, fights, graphics... everything is better than I had imagined when I was thinking of a Remake. Most people who gave bad score just wanted the game to be a full copy script of the original. If you really want that just play the original for crying out loud...

    The game can be a little confusing some times (if you didn't play the original you will be even more confused), but if you pay attention you can understand most of it (you can also read some theories and facts on the web if you have some difficulty to understand) and also it's intentional that Square did it to make us think about the possibilities and also to evaluate what fans think about it!
    They already said that the main plot won't change. It's the first time I've seen a remake that improves the experience of the game, not only a copy-paste story with better graphics. I've already played this game for 100 hours (with all PSN trophies) and I can say that I'm still not tired of playing it. Every time I play again I can notice some more details, this game is full of it. Also, you can see that depending on your answers on some conversation (or doing or not a side quest) it changes when you interact with people. Not something that changes the flow of the story but it's nice to know they paid attention on this minimal details.
    I think this game is a must have for fans and also for people that didn't played the original. The difficulty levels are nice for newbies and more experienced players. Just play this game and have your own thoughts. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did and that Square puts all their efforts to expand this game without too much delay between parts (DLCs would be nice to tell some side story to complement it without too much wait).

    Excellent game. There is NO WAY this is a 0. You might not like some elements of the story, gameplay whatever but the technicals alone cannot make it a 0. Personally, this is the game of the decade!

    Opinião de alguém que comprou o jogo original no dia de lançamento : Remake absolutamente incrível. Respeita o material original, acrescentando mais história. Tecnicamente é um sonho. É o melhor jogo que joguei desde sempre.

    ok at first the FEW bad things
    this thing has some times where you kinda want it to cut shorter, like sometimes it feels like 30 minutes or so are just too much.

    I’m gonna get straight to the point, game is a 9/10 from an objective view. I’d personally give it a 10/10 (so I will).

    The Good: - Amazing Story - Mind blowingly good looking cutscenes - The graphics are insane (How much did they pay for the cats to look THAT good?) - The gameplay is engaging and deep, wonderful combination of action and turn-based gameplay. - Voice acting is
    I’m gonna get straight to the point, game is a 9/10 from an objective view. I’d personally give it a 10/10 (so I will).

    The Good:
    - Amazing Story
    - Mind blowingly good looking cutscenes
    - The graphics are insane (How much did they pay for the cats to look THAT good?)
    - The gameplay is engaging and deep, wonderful combination of action and turn-based gameplay.
    - Voice acting is (mostly) on point and fit the characters.
    - The music and sound design is criminally good, I’ll be surprised if they don’t win Score of the Year.
    - Good atmosphere, game feels lived in.
    - The environmental design is breathtaking.
    - Game launched with almost zero bugs. The worst bug I’ve seen is a graphical bug which makes some minor textures blurry. That’s it, the game works near flawlessly at launch! I know, shocking nowadays. The game didn’t even have a day one patch!
    - Somehow the game is loading quickly and have dynamic cutscene to gameplay transitions...on a 6 year old console...wonder how many orphans they sacrificed to accomplish that.

    The Bad:
    - Level design is weak, the environmental design makes locations look more interesting than they functionally are.
    - Side-quests are very meh. Some are fun, cute or feature some cool enemies/bosses, but they’re not too interesting.
    - Aerial combat...pray to god that you have a ranged character in your party if you’re facing them.
    - Game doesn’t have enough bad points. I can seriously not think of anything else bad about the game.

    Even at the game’s lowest of lows, it still feels fun and immersive. And when it’s on a high note, the. it’s on a HIGH NOTE. And the game is FILLED with those moments. I personally can’t recommend this game enough. Definitely a GotY contender.

    日本語でレビューさせてください。

    個人的には10点満点のゲームです。 確かにいろいろ問題視とされている点はありますが、例えばストーリーの水増しとか、バトルシステムの複雑化とか、長年のファンとしては今回はストーリーはあのオリジナル版の補完に当たる一作になります。当時はもっと語りたかった部分を今作に全部入れた感がすごくあります。これは分作にしないと無理ですねと感じました。 バトルシステムの複雑化についても、コマンドバトルと今風のアクションバトルの融合による必要不可欠だと思います。オリジナル版の良さを捨てずに、今の時代にあったバトルシステムの完成形だと思います。これぐらいはちょうど良いです。

    発表して発売まで、ずっと心配してました。前回の15の件もあって、スクエニにかなり不信な気持ちがありました。でもいざプレイしてみたら、物凄く安心しました。スクエニは本気を出して来たなぁと思いました。これぞこそジャパンニーズゲーム、日本人の皆さんはもっと誇りに思うべきです。

    Ignore the haters. You need to play this game!

    Combat is 9/10 for me! Combat is the best in any FF and I really like the tactical element that ATB gauge spending and bullet time brings to the action. Only nice addition would be configurable scripts for the characters you don't control yourself at the moment, like in FF12, but on the other hand then you maybe wouldn't switch at all. And

Only nice addition would be configurable scripts for the characters you don't control yourself at the moment, like in FF12, but on the other hand then you maybe wouldn't switch at all. And it feels a little too easy, coming of playing the likes of Sekiro and Nioh 2 recently, but looking forward to 2nd play-through on hard.

    Graphics is 10/10 for me! Really like the balance they have found. Much better than the over-glossy reflections and unrealistic look of Leon in RE2 Remake. Characters and Midgar look amazing!

    But what really separates the game from everything else out there are the memorable characters, the iconic world design, incl. enemies, and the story. Those are more like 12/10.

    Characters: Think about it: How many video game characters besides the main cast can you remember overall? I can remember almost all characters from original FF7 vividly, and they are even better flashed out here. I always liked FF7 best, because I could not relate to the fantasy characters of e.g. FF9. I am not a small kid with a tail and all the princess and magic stuff I like to watch and read, but just wasn't so relatable playing it. Now, while FF7 characters are all over the top in the typical Japanese way (which I love, this is not meant to be dead serious, realistic people), I can relate to Cloud and all the other cast, since they have very human characteristics.

    And the world design and story: It is more relevant than ever. A planet being sucked dry by greedy corporate types, with poor people living in slums literally beneath the rich. Sounds familiar? This setting I always found much more appealing than the pure Fantasy setting, since it has a message and relevance that pure Dungeons and Dragons just cannot have. With the improved graphics, voice acting, and story detail, these dystopian aspects are shown so much more detailed this time.

    To the critic points of others: I don't understand the complaints about "filler content". Quests are optional, and are much the same as in FF12 or Yakuza series. If you don't like them, just focus on the main story. And as described above, I actually like the main story parts going into more detail than the original. If people still complain that it is released in parts, and that in this part you cannot play later parts, it is a bit silly. What you get here is much more than what you get in most other games, and again the overall experience is almost standalone excellent.

    So overall clear 10/10. Must play. Do yourself a favor and play it, it is really the game of a generation. Again.

    This game captures the emotions that you had 23 years ago, that is the most important thing for me, It's not that easy and it expands all the universe of FF VII to the max level.

    I played it not having played the ps1 original and I loved the hell out of this game. I picked it up (curbside) from BestBuy and raced home to play it. It literally was not turned off until I put 55hrs in and beat it.

    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?
