    Я не играла ранее в оригинал, но это ремейк, так что он может быть со своим сюжетом и своими переделками и переосмыслением.

    Локации сделаны хорошо. Я не считаю, что задники плохие, все сделано на высоте.
    Игра проходится на одном дыхании, она не дает скучать. Самое большое, что нервирует, это камера, но она давно себя так ведет, уже можно привыкнуть)
    Персонажи живые и кажется, что они реально живут, им сопереживаешь, считаешь их своими друзьями, хоть и на время.
    Графика очень приятная, редко где есть такое качество картинки. Мне не к чему придраться, игра стоит своих денег и времени.    … Expand

These become a bigger part of the main narrative the    Going forward, I will be rating each aspect of the game in its own category.

    Story – 9/10
    Overall, the story of the game it is based on has been very faithfully recreated, improving some of the already existing lore and adding to it with new story elements that get sprinkled in throughout the course of the game in various ways. These become a bigger part of the main narrative the further you progress.
    Some people like the new story elements, and some people don't, but we'll have to wait for the future installments to see if the story they have set up plays out like the masterpiece it has the potential to be.

    Characters – 10/10
    They absolutely nailed on that front! They all have unique personalities and traits to them. The relationships between the main characters keep developing over time, growing from a mere work-related collaboration to a bond of companionship. In my opinion, the main characters we have met thus far are even better than they were in the original game.
    Also, the dialogs between characters feel much more realistic than your typical „video gamey“ style of talking to each other.

    Combat – 9/10
    The combat system in this game combines the classic ATB system (you can use commands like Attack or Magic you get from Materia once the bar has filled up) with more action-heavy combat like in Final Fantasy XV.
    It takes the best of both worlds and gives you fast-paced fights that require tactical thinking.
    On top of that you have the ability to call one Summon per battle and have it fight by your side!
    The only gripes I have with it are bad cameras while fighting, the air-combat , ATB and Limit gauges getting reset when you use abilities at the wrong moment and the forced boss phase transitions that cancel your queued up attacks.

    Character Progression - 9/10
    The fundamentals of RPG character progression also apply to this game. You level up and therefore increase your stats by defeating enemies and get new, more powerful weapons to boost your strength in battle. Yet, some of these mechanics work a bit differently than they do in other games.
    You will get access to more weapons the further you progress through the game. Unlike in other RPGs where you just replace your current weapon once you get a new one and never use the previous one again, you gain points when your character levels up. You can use these points to level up your weapons alongside your character.
    Then there's also the Materia system that can alter the Magic you cast, the Summons you call forth, the Abilities you use and even grant you status boosts. Trying various ways to combine them with each other allows you to approach fights in a lot of different ways.

    Music - 10/10
    Oh my god, the music in this game! They've done a great job masterfully recreating tracks from the original and creating completely new arrangements.

    Worldbuilding - 10/10
    Midgar is a living and breathing city that has so much personality. Almost every NPC has a unique voice and when progressing through the story, each NPC changes their dialog according to events that recently transpired. The same also goes for the environment that changes during the course of the game.

    Graphics - 9/10
    It probably comes to no surprise that FFVIIR has absolutely amazing visuals, be it the breathtaking environments, the way Tactical Mode slows down the action during combat or Cloud's perfectly styled hair. The dynamic lighting in FFVIIR also looks impressive and makes for some cool effects.
    The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect score in terms of graphics is that there are a few places in the game that have some serious issues with textures not loading in correctly.

    Level Design - 6/10
    The Level Design is probably the weakest aspect of this game, as a majority of areas you have to go through consist of linear paths (even though these areas do look pretty good).

    Optional content - 8/10
    There is a decent amount of Sidequests in certain Chapters. Quality-wise, they aren't the best of the best for the most part, but not that bad either and some of them are actually pretty good.
    On the other hand, the really good optional content comes in the form of Battle Intel reports, VR battles and especially the Hard Mode difficulty in New Game+.
    There’s also a couple of fun Minigames that you can do to kill some time and get neat rewards!

    Total score - 9/10
    This game has been a love letter to the original game and is even amazing without any attachment to the 1997 classic.
    It was an insane rollercoaster of emotions and if I were to include my nostalgia-bias I would have given it a 15/10, but since I’m doing a critical review here and the game does have some flaws, I will settle with a 9/10 score and can only recommend it to anyone who is even remotely interested in the genre.    … Expand

    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..... ;)

This isn't a game for surface thinkers and should not be approached as such. Much of the negative comments are due to shallow perception, or having expectations from a purist perspective. Yes, the ending caught me off guard. But knowing SE, I knew there was something more than what met the eye. Without spoiling it, I will say this... Everything in the game has meaning to it, and the directors are geniuses. You become Cloud in this story-- you perceive one thing, yet it's another. This game plays you, just as Sephiroth plays Cloud. And that's what I love most about this game. It's like detective work on a fantasy level. Once I understood what the ending meant, now I can't wait for part two more than ever. Once again, I fear for the well-being of the main characters, and don't know what will happen to them-- now that we may have a choice. Choices are scary, and that's what I love about it.… Expand

The game was definitely made for a new audience and not much care was given to those that played it in the past. I found the combat to be such a chore that I don't think that I will finish the other parts once they come out with how poor the combat is now. trying to imagine all the bosses and parts from the original in the new combat system seems like a very grindy chore and not one that would be worth mashing buttons for. Also having enemies you cant even hit with certain characters is one of the most annoying and outright stupid thing i have encountered yet. yes lets have an enemy that can just shoot from the sky and kill your chars while the ones on the ground are bashing you over and over till you cant potion anymore and you die. I don't believe almost any of the reviews here that gave it anything over a 7 played the original at all. If this was your "perfect" game then the rest of your life is going to me a huge let down. Don't expect anything you enjoyed from the original other than some story and the chars. Other than that its a completely different game.

A wonderful synthesis of new and old that combines perfectly with both tactical elements from the original with mechanical elements that keep you moving. I had lost faith in JRPG combat systems of late that just seemed to have become a slog but this system is just right. Boss variety keeps things fresh and requires genuine thought at times instead of just mindless button mashing. The graphics are really flawless for the most part... how on earth are the characters somehow just as I imagined them to be when I was just looking at fan fiction and low polygon models before? That opening sequences... wow. Unfortunately there are exceptions to this with some low quality textures like the slums from above or the plates from below. I mean really, why wasn't there care put into them? One thing that I'm not sure is really a flaw but might not be for everyone is the cheesy acting. It kind of makes it hard to engage with the story at times, but then again, its quite possilbe that its just a faithful realisation of the text. However... it doesn't really come across well with voice acting. They could have toned it down a little. There is a certain amount of padding in the game but it isn't over the top and it tends to teach you something about the world in general. However, somehow it can feel a bit generic at times. Oh and I loved the mini-games :). They are silly but a nice distraction. All in all, top quality stuff. You can see the genius of the original game shine through in (almost) all its glory.… Expand

    Was a great game. My only real complaint is the combat. It's fun and all, but just not very satisfying. Have to hack and slash a bunch or use a single spell. Point being, you can chose to draw even simple battles out playing the fun melee way or shoot a few spells off. Hope to see more balancing done with the combat in the next instalments.

    Even if you go crazy with the theories, the story of FF7R isn’t that complicated to understand so far. Could it become that way? Sure, but no one can see the future.

    The gameplay is very fun, and on hard mode it really shines. The level design is visually great but a little too simple in some areas for my taste. Music is phenomenal and by far some of the best square enix has done. Characters are also amazing, even with our imaginations on the back burner now that everything can be shown in a game, these characters really make you feel for them.

    As a fan of the series since FF4, FF7 is tied with FF6 as my favorite. My expectations were set to mediocre / decent based on the recent entries as far back as FF13. I did not previously have faith in Tetsuya Nomura to do this remake justice as a director based on other titles he is associated with, especially the Kingdom Hearts series.

I did not previously have faith in Tetsuya Nomura to do this remake justice as a director based on other titles he is associated with, especially the Kingdom Hearts series.

    I'm happy to say that this game went far above and beyond anything I could have expected. At first I was not a fan of the 'plot ghosts' and have never enjoyed it when writers use destiny as an excuse for nonsensical plot points. Final Fantasy 7 Remake, however, gives the finger to destiny and is actually pretty mind blowing once you start to understand the finer points of the ending and hints you might notice on a second play-through. This game created a massive rabbit hole of theory and speculation among YouTubers such as Final Fantasy Peasant, Maximilian Dood, and Sleepezi, and I couldn't be more excited for the next installment. I now have a lot of confidence in Kitase, Nomura, and their team to give most of us fans an incredible experience that we've been craving.

    The flaws of a few low res textures and a little bit of padding are far outweighed by the deep and excellent combat system, great voice acting and cut scene direction, and soundtrack. The music was absolutely incredible with far more tracks than I've ever experienced in a game. Overall the experience was easily a 10/10 masterpiece for me.    … Expand

Ahun así yo que para mi el FF7 es la meca de los RPG (junto con Chrono Trigger y FFX), considero que han hecho un trabajo genial.

    Nomura PLEASE we don't need another Kingdom Hearts style game. Keep your KH ideas for the KH saga. Great game anyway. The decision to split the original game into chapters paid off: Midgar is awesome and feels alive, the graphics are top notch and the gameplay is fun and engaging. The plot is a perfect mixture between old and new. Just don't add any more KH stuff and drop this "change destiny" subplot in the future installments of the franchise. PLEASE    … Expand

I feel like the gameplay is a perfect modern evolution of the original turnbased system.

Also worth noting this Remake is probably on par contentwise with the original even though it only covers a small fraction of the original game.… Expand

    This will be wholly spoiler-free.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    This game is very fun. The graphics and music are amazing and pay great homage to the original. I was so excited to hear they were expanding the game and possibly clarifying some of the gaps that the original PS game had left open. This is a remake / re-writing of the original it's important to accept that. The game makes it clear early enough adding characters and side quests that didn't exist before. Here is where my issues lie. I am 100% on board for extended and more fleshed out story but I do not want filler or bad story telling... and that's a good portion of what I got from the first 10 hours of the game.

    The side quests and town stuff drags. It's jarring how badly the side quets dip in quality as compared to the main story. By the end I was skipping optional content because it was making me hate the game. I may have lost out on some decent story that was sprinkled into the side quests but I couldn't have been bothered to sift through the BAD storytelling. I even felt that some of the early events with the main avalanche team just felt bland. I wanted to move on from that section of the game. The game tips at one point at a certain train-yard and i feel like the story telling goes back to being off the charts in a good way and if you ignore the side quests you are basically on the rails for great story, great characters, amazing environments, and epic battles.

    The end opened up allot for the follow up games which I will be playing but I don't know if I'll be buying them day one. I'm no longer blindly trusting the series. I think this game would be an A+ if it didn't expand and add sub-par side quests featuring cardboard cutouts for characters.

    The combat did nothing for me and the original is vastly better in this area. It's not bad, it's just not really fun and that's a bit of an issue for a video game. I'd honestly say put it on 'easy' and the only difference you will feel is that you will be stopping to heal less often.    … Expand

    Graphically I have no complain. I love to see Tifa and Aerith in flawless motion and Cloud actually speaks. They showed how big Midgar is and what kind of city it is, they have succeeded. At some point I was bit disappoint how meaningless NPCs felt.

    Battle system is fun, but I wish summon and limit break bar carries over to next battle. It's only available in one long battle. This is such a disappointment for me. You have to be in control of each character to build ATB or otherwise they sometime just stand there wasting time. I think they could've done better at this.

    One huge disappointment was quests. There are lot of sidequest you either skip or do, but some I had to search around not knowing where to go due to lack of information and guidance.
    I don't feel like I'm achieving by doing quests. I felt Square was trying to extend play time by adding numerous and meaningless side quests.

    Gamers waited 7 years for this such short game(I think about 10~20% of original?).
    I don't know what's Square's plan by making this game in numerous series, maybe 3~5?
    Maybe take 20 years to complete?

    A Square Enix deu um gostinho para os fãs com uma demo na época de PS3,e finalmente em 2015 na PlayStation Experience anunciou o Remake.
    O jogo original que era em batalha em turno, foi modernizado com o mesmo sistema visto em jogos como a série Kingdom Hearts e FF XV, em que você tem que ter muita calma antes de atacar e não por ser um Action RPG que não há estratégia. Os gráficos estão ainda mais superiores visto em FF XV de 2016, apesar de ter gráficos lindos há algumas partes do cenário do jogo que são mal renderizados, mas claro que uma patch possa concertar isso futuramente.
    Na questão da história, alguns pontos crucias da trama foram mudados por ser uma reimaginação do jogo original, assim como o Remake de Resident Evil, ele não será 100% fiel ao jogo original, mas isso é uma questão que depende muito do jogador se acha bom ou não.
    Uma escolha polêmica da Square Enix, foi decidido fazer FF VII em partes, similar ao jogo original por causa da limitação da época, a Square decidiu fazer isso para não cortar conteúdo. Mas não se engane que por causa disso o jogo será curto, em compensação a isso, há muitas horas de gameplay. E o jogo está no tamanho de um FF normal.

Makes me laugh when some people saying something like "it's my GOTY easily" kind of stuff. It's nowhere near that position. Since this is "part 1" of the remake project and only served as prologue in the original FFVII, the dev team said it served as a standalone game because they expanded Midgar like never before and the game are over 40-50 hours. In actual case, it's the filler and unnecessary long dungeon with copy and paste environment successfully extended the gameplay hours to make it seems like a standalone game, and Midgar doesn't seem as big as promised to worth becoming a standalone game of it's own. Let's try compare this game to previous GOTY winner like The Witcher 3, God of War and Sekiro. Oh my god it's entirely on a different tier. It doesn't even WORTH as a nominee of GOTY else it's an insult to nominee of previous GOTY.

    Those fanboi who defend the game saying "this is a Remake not Remastered" and "go play the original" kind of stuff, let me tell you this game is supposed to be a remake as advertised, not end up begin a sequel nor a reboot. I am not going to convince myself to like this game just because I can play as pretty boy Cloud or big boobs waifu Tifa which fanboi can be easily satisfied with whatever the dev feeds as long you can play as your beloved characters.

    Come to think of it, does Square Enix has no capabilities to develop a full game now? 5 years to make the prologue of the original game with tons of fillers and copy and paste dungeon? How many more years they want to take to finish the whole project? Or they just want to milk the fan based with their nice excuses of the game is so big? Even the director and producer said they have no idea how many parts they wanted to make, and they hope to release it ASAP but with smaller portion of the original game. Compare it with other games and other game developers, does it really make sense to remake an all time classic in episodic style? Considering the script already existed, the world building and visual of FFVII already established. What about other game development that need to start from scratch and how much time they used to ship their title?

    When we think of Final Fanatsy VII Remake we certainly not expecting content from prequel or sequel like Crisis Core and Advent Children. Sephiroth shouldn't be in this game so early, neither his One-winged Angel Form. Flashback and Cloud's hallucinations of Sephiroth is an OK idea but they put too much Sephiroth in this game which made him lost his mystery and menacing identity in future story. And the dev team reason for that is because Sephiroth is a popular character already and they dont seem to have the point to slowly build up his character anymore. Sounds like a very bad reason to me, the dev team just assume everyone knows about Sephiroth and therefore cut the good character development which make the villain so popular and so threatening, one of the reason that FFVII successfully became a classic.

    Pre-FFVII or Post-FFVII content aren't supposed to be in this game, at least not this early in the part 1 of the remake project. It just confused me while playing it and I asked myself am I playing FFVII Remake or FFVII REMIX. The dev team just assume everyone playing this game knows what happened throughout compilation of FFVII. These pre/post-FFVII content that include in this part 1 of the remake project just broke the immersive storytelling experience that the original PS1 classic delivered, making the remake lose focus on its narratives. For ch.17 and ch.18, it's merely fans service because the dev team wants to include the compilation inside this remake so desperately which resulted this game almost lost its position of a remake title.

    And the Nomur'ed ghost, which literally killed the core of FFVII. If the dev team want to change the future story so desperately then just make announcement and change it. Adding plot device with alternate universe related stuff and fate/destiny theme into the story just make the game even more confusing and distract from the main course. Seems like Nomura has watched Avengers Endgame and wanted to mindf*** people with altetnate universe so badly that I doubt even he know what he is trying to do.

    Is it a good game? Barely
    Is it a good remake? F*** off

    Since this game is marketed and sold as a REMAKE title, then my score is based on how well they remake the original game and most importantly the direction they took. The only reason I didn't rate it 0 is because I want to give credit to everything that is faithful to the original. However, the direction of this remake is a huge dissapointment, they remake this game to do a sequel different than the original and obviously, milk their fan based with multiple release in future. And congratzzz on becoming the first game that make me feel disappointed in my gaming history.    … Expand

    "Final Fantasy VII: Midgar Reimagined" would be a more accurate title. In a clumsy attempt to add a conclusion to the story of Midgar, Nomura put his Kingdom Hearts writing hat on and added some time travel nonsense. I still have no idea if this is supposed to be the first chapter in a series, but i don't expect they'll pull off some kind of cross save function.

    Square sold a lie they said they would be faithful to the original but isn't. This isn't a remake but a reboot. The game is beautiful however once in the big city you will notice some background don't have any textures some parts looks like a ps3 game.

    However the game is really fun.

    J'ai fait Final Fantasy 7 sur PS1 il y a quelques années et j'avais été sublimé par ce jeu malgré qu'il ait mal vieilli. J'en attendais beaucoup de ce remake sachant pertinemment qu'il serait différent du jeu de 1997. 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.

J'en attendais beaucoup de ce remake sachant pertinemment qu'il serait différent du jeu de 1997. 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. Pour commencer, le jeu est beaucoup plus développé (le jeu reprend le passage de Midgar qui fait à peine 6 heures dans l'original pour au final en faire un jeu de 30 heures), on s'attarde beaucoup plus sur les personnages tels que Jessie, Wedge, Biggs et même les principaux sont plus développé notamment Tifa. 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. La fin conclut le jeu à merveille et nous donne vraiment l'eau à la bouche pour la suite des événements. Si vous ne connaissez pas FF7, passez par ce remake qui en vaut vraiment la chandelle !… Expand

    Although a large chunk of the game is filled with boring side missions & filler. Final Fantasy 7 remake retells the beginning of a classic beautifully with it's own new and unique take adding depth to the original midgar segment.

    Completely blown away by the re-imagined FFV and the changes made to the battle system that combined strategizing and real time action in an engaging way that actually works! This game’s story telling, iconic characters, cinematic visuals and orchestrated soundtrack couldn’t get any more perfect! Definitely a must play!

    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.

    Extra:

    - 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.    … Expand

    This game has a standard of technical quality that makes it incapable of being worth less than an 8. Let's be very clear, this game sets a new technical standard for JRPG's. The reasons why it does not deserve a 10 is mostly because of tampering of the original story, but it must be said that any changes seem to have been done to have the ability of suprising the player, succesfully.

The reasons why it does not deserve a 10 is mostly because of tampering of the original story, but it must be said that any changes seem to have been done to have the ability of suprising the player, succesfully. 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. Great introduction to FF games for newcomers, the beginning of an all time masterpiece for seasoned JRPG lovers (if square doesn't **** it up). Oh and btw, Zack appears in this game, that automatically put it down one point for me… Expand

    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?
