    Top game on ps4. FFVII remake has the best scenario ever, amazing characters design and graphics. Music at the highest level. Battle system better than ever before, tactical mode looks amazing. I'm waiting for the next parts which will also be the best.

    Это конечно никакой не ремейк, а так? переосмысление по теме. Но, играется вполне бодро. Из минусов дизайн отдельных локаций можно и получше сделать было, за столько то лет разработки.

    Fresh take on beloved material - enjoyed pretty much every second. Loved the new battle system, and that they didn’t pull punches with the bosses. The fights were truly difficult, the story was great, can’t wait for part 3.

    A simple review for a simple game, taking plot devices from the original and twisting them in unexpected ways while giving us extremely enjoyable gameplay in an action RPG setting over the original turn based ways all coming to an ending that leaves us open to more and, for me personally, excited to see what they plan to do with the future of the franchise

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this game. This is my first Final Fantasy game ever and a lot of people were saying the original was good to start on so when I saw this revealed I figured I’d wait for this but after research it’s not the exact same like with the whispers and stuff. I would recommend this game it’s amazing if you want a JRPG this is perfect start with amazing story, (with granted a bit of filler) great gameplay especially since it plays a lot like an action game (and no you don’t have to micro manage the AI on your team they’re pretty smart) and amazing voice acting. The story isn’t that long the ending is a bit empty but it was just so it could feel a bit more like a full game considering it’s a multi part series. Amazing game would recommend.… Expand

    Spoiler free summary:

    The writing could have been a little better in some parts but overall it's interesting and not bad.
    Great voice-acting from the main characters and animation to go with it.
    The soundtrack is phenomenal, one of the best ever. So many good songs and they often change mid-boss battle.
    The combat is near-perfect and really enjoyable.

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

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

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

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

    To be honest with you, I had low expectation with FF series and Square(/Enix). I used to love their games, but very disappointed with FF12. FF13 series and FF15...... :(

    I was sure I couldn't expect much from Square any more. I saw E3, and it was just okay to me until I played demo of FF7RE. The demo was great and it was sensational to me.

FF13 series and FF15...... :(

    I was sure I couldn't expect much from Square any more. I saw E3, and it was just okay to me until I played demo of FF7RE. The demo was great and it was sensational to me. I always buy package to keep it, but I was late. Therefore, I purchased DL version as exception.

    Overall, the game was not perfect. Very minor but agree with other players - Had famous texture bug with unreal engine 4. Not super excited side quests. Unfamiliar (Unfriendly?) story telling to new users.

    However, the game has much more PRO than CON - Crazy awesome sound tracks. Battle system was master piece. Stunning Characters. Big change of story lines. Great atmosphere and fan services. Multiple user selections.

    Characters: 10 / 10
    Very happy to see Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith with enhanced graphic. I could see their face expression! Which we couldn't see from original FF7! Also their character setting was perfect cut from compilation of Final Fantasy 7. They've fully understand their characters and they combined it very nicely.

    Story: 10 / 10
    This is one of the hardest choice to users and Square/Enix. If the story is same, user will complain about partial game sales. But clearly impossible to put all the original contents to one disc. Therefore, they called it as remake. Not remaster. This is very challenge to Square/Enix, and I think they did well as first step. Now we all don't know the future story. I really hope they don't ruin it.
    In addition, side Quest was off (except chapter 4) but much better than FF15! I was able to see the improvement. Small rewards from side quests were also worth it. And leave it as player's choices!

    Music: 10 / 10
    Best game music of all time. Great Boss battle musics. Great Jazz Juke box musics. Great character and atmosphere musics. Ending music was sensational. Very memoriable and unique.

    Game Play: 10 / 10
    Awesome cutscenes. Great balance between battle and adventure. Texture and full voices were matched very well. Didn't get bored at all since I couldn't stop watch beautiful game/characters.
    At the ending credit, I realized I was in final fantasy. Just like title.

    Battle System: 10 / 10
    Very unique style. It seemed like real-time battle like dark-soul, but it combined thoughtfully with turn based RPG (ATB system). Different pattern of BOSS fights and many enemies! I hope we have more VR missions!

    I got old and busy with work and family, so I lost my interest in video game. However, this game bring my game spirit back!
    I loved this game. I got my platinum trophy. I bought packaged version to keep it as well, and ready to play with PlayStation 5.

    At last, how hard to make sequel or remake? We've seen other movies, drama and games that how hard it is. We all know how bad it can be. However, FF7RE had great start. It can be better and has potential to be the greatest game of all time, just like original.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is constantly moaning for having be a remake instead of something different, with the devs changing things just to show how the whispers force them to stay in line with the original plot because the bad fans want it. This until the final part, when they totally unleash their desire for doing another game and totally ruin what was an otherwise impressive work.

    If Nomura and the devs hated so much doing this remake, because they thought they were so good that they could do better, why haven’t they just said that they weren’t doing it? It would have been more honest and respectful for the original game and the fans who were waiting this for more than 15 years.

    Given the reception of FFXIII and FFIV, which were among the worst episodes of the series, I don’t see how could they feel entitled to think that they were still able to do something at the level of the original game, not to mention something better. Approaching this remake with more humbleness would have maybe reminded them how to make good games.

    Instead the decision was to be arrogant and diverge from the original story in a way that doesn’t make sense for new players, shows important plot events way too early (never seen a game spoilering itself), takes from inferior material such as Advent Children or games having nothing to do with FF7 such as Kingdom Hearts, and adds a level of meta gaming that was totally unneeded nor requested for a remake. As result there’s explosions and things like cutting trains in two, but the story is ruined.

    The only thing that saves the game is that you can enjoy the first 90% (if you ignore Sephiroth’s annoying apparitions and Whispers) and pretend that the ending is before entering that portal.

    This is Nomura’s ego ruining an otherwise great game. I really hope they know what they are doing, because if they screw on this fans will never forgive them.    … Expand

    When Square Enix revealed that Final Fantasy VII was getting a remake, I had a mixed reaction. I was incredibly excited. However, that excitement was tempered by dread that one of my favorite games (favorite stories, for that matter) would be modernized, butchered or disrespected as seems to be the case with so many remakes and reboots.

However, that excitement was tempered by dread that one of my favorite games (favorite stories, for that matter) would be modernized, butchered or disrespected as seems to be the case with so many remakes and reboots.

    Upon completing the game several times to cement my opinion, I am happy to say it's excellent. Is it as good as the original game? In my humble opinion, no. But how many remakes can say they are? Some, but not many.

    I'm sure there are many reviews to be watched or read that thoroughly break down each aspect of the game and its history to make their point, so I won't do the same here. I'll just break down some of the broader pieces of the game and my opinions on them.

    Combat: Square Enix spent a lot of time trying to perfect the way this game plays and I think it shows. The battle system is exactly what you would imagine if the original Final Fantasy VII was turned into an action RPG. Each weapon collected has a skill tree and unique abilities that keep combat fresh and make progression truly rewarding. Each character also plays completely differently which adds another layer of complexity and strategy that keeps your interest throughout the entirety of the game. The materia system returned and is, in most ways, the same as the original with the main difference being that real time combat necessitates some of the materia works a little differently. I can't wait to see how this is expanded upon in future installments.

    The World: Midgar was translated so beautifully into this game. From the Mako Reactors, to the Sector 7 Slums, to Wall Market, everything was translated so faithfully and really made me feel like I was there. Having a camera that you can use to look around areas which, in the original, were limited by a fixed view, really made locations like Aerith's house or Don Corneo's mansion so much more immersive. In the original, Midgar was a rather linear place without a lot of ways to explore it. But the remake opens it up and fills it with side quests and new characters and story elements that make it feel more alive and less linear.

    The Story: One thing I was struck by in this game at first were the subtle differences in the way events played out. Overall, it's a very faithful, and very respectful, translation of the original. The characters are faithfully represented. Cloud is still the wannabe-cool hero. Barret has a tough exterior, but also a heart of gold. Hojo is still... Hojo. And all of the familiar beats of the story are there and presented in a way that respects the original game. But it distinguishes itself with those aforementioned subtle changes. If you're a fan of the original, you will absolutely pick up on those. You'll wonder, "Why did it happen this way instead?" And you'll get your answer. But I don't do spoilers, so I won't get into it. I'll just say, the story was the part I was most concerned about when it came to a remake of this game. But I walked away very happy with a faithful rendition of the original, with some interesting new content that I feel was vital to keep fans of the original Final Fantasy VII engaged.

    In summary, I adored this game and am happy to have it in my collection. I look forward to seeing where we go in subsequent installments. I give this game a 10/10.    … Expand

    Main issue however is the story - as a fan of the original FF7 the remake's final chapter with major plot changes completely ruined it for me.

I would only remember the character modeling, particle effects and music (especially the music) in quality but apart from that, I don't see much to learn.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Square Enix made a mistake making the game Midgar-only. There's only so much they could expand upon to make a truly unforgettable experience. With that being said, they made the absolute most out of what they were given without ruining it with filler content and unnecessary missions (excluding Chapter 14).
    Everything but that one chapter and the ending feels natural and unforced. As for the ending, this is what keeps the game from a 10 for me. THIS GAME DID NOT NEED ALTERNATE TIMELINES. IT DID NOT NEED A SEPHIROTH FIGHT. IT DID NOT NEED SEPHIROTH SHOWING UP EVERY OTHER CHAPTER. Part of what made him such a good villain in 1997 was his buildup. The entirety of the Midgar section portrayed him as nearly a God. A legend. This man shows up in the beginning of Chapter 2 in the Remake. Plus, you beat him. It takes away that fear and intimidation.
    Take the Midgar Zolom from the original. You're fresh out of Midgar, and immediately presented with this giant snake that you can NOT beat at that point in the game. Once you get passed the swamp, you see another one impaled on a tree by Sephiroth like it was nothing. That made the man scary. Whereas in Part 2 of the Remake, it will be a "oh, he did a thing, whatever" moment.
    I'm not even going to get into the Whispers and destiny being changed, that's all in the air. Square had a chance to remake their most beloved game of all time. They did a phenomenal job despite my criticism, and did everything they needed to do. They just tried to do a little too much.    … Expand

    Everything about this game feels just like I imagined FFVII looked like in my head when I was playing it back in the PS1 days. It's the same Midgar I grew up with, the same characters I grew up with, all of it is just how it should be, but modernized. The combat is really fun, I played in the action mode, with default settings and it was difficult enough that I felt like I was being challenged on bosses and harder quest enemies, but not so hard I wanted to launch the controller at the TV.

    The characters and voice acting is spot on with everything, there were a few characters I was worried about (I'm looking at you Barret) because of the scenes they used from him in the promotional material, but after finishing the remake, I can easily say he was probably the character I fell in love with the hardest. Everyone feels very real, if that makes sense, they all have their own personalities that have been expanded since the last game, and the acting is perfect for everyone.

    The additions that are exclusive to the remake such as a couple of characters, and where the story diverges from the original are actually very good, it keeps the game interesting, as it's something new now, but it still feels very nostalgic.

    My only real regret is it was over far too soon. The original FF7 was a 100 hour game in my mind, I finished this game with 32 hours on the clock, and I'd done pretty much everything I could in the game. I understand that a remake of this undertaking is going to take awhile, if if they were doing the whole game at once, it might not be done until 2025.. but I need more of it now. :(    … Expand

    Besides the awful changes to the story and the fact that it's only in Midgar, the game is technically good and fun to play. Combat is updated while not feeling completely dissimilar to previous entries. A bit short for my liking but we can't expect every RPG to give you 100+ hours of gameplay.

    SquareEnix released what might the be greatest psychological horror of 2020.

    The game starts out with everything you can hope for and more, breathtaking visuals in one of the greatest video game settings, the city of Midgar. Just opening the door from Cloud's apartment for the first time and the sheer scale of the plates in full detail along the view of the slums you see in front of you, all to explore in all its glory...the pleasure is intoxicating. Sure you sense something amiss, but it is quickly shrugged off since the first reactor mission went so perfectly.

    You start to see a few red flags here and there, an unrelated motorcycle character comes to form and vanishes like a tv one episode villain, and you start to see less and less effort put into the side characters and side quests that feel painfully robotic or badly scripted and voiced. But worry not, the core story was still there, shining in all its glory...side characters and side quests never mattered and can be quickly skipped past.

    Some more hours pass, the ghosts...you've seen them again, and your early interpretation that they're similar to voices of the lifestream isn't cutting it anymore. Worry not you tell yourself, the train graveyard is coming up, surely a wonderful tie in to fighting in the train graveyard is what SquareEnix is after.

    The first moment of shock, the first reasoning for the ghosts/whispers. The party is told that the ghosts are arbiters of fate trying to control the party's path...and they're in a Final Fantasy 7 game. Your deepest fears have come to light, and while the game doesn't delve on them much...you already know it's too late, an unlit stick of dynamite will follow you from here on out.

    You play out the game enjoying what you see while knowing a truly darker evil lies beneath the gorgeous visuals. Then just as you feel the game is reaching its end with no cataclysmic destruction, looking as though this first episode will be left safe, the destruction begins. You are thrown head first into the abyss. There is no saving explanation coming, your greatest fear has truly come alive...THIS...IS...KINGDOM HEARTS. Timelines, time travel, and plot ripped asunder. The thing is more terrible than I can describe, an incoherent jumble of nostalgia, story switching, and everything Nomura.

    You lie awake, asking the same question...Why? it comes to no purpose or gain, but you continue to ask...Why?
    Alas, the first is over and you know they will come again, again, and again...worse than the last.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I wish everyone well as they dive through the later parts of a great game turned milk machine.

    GAMEPLAY: It's easy to find your niche when it comes to fighting and this works for the entire game on Easy/Classic and Normal (to an extent). It's not until you play Hard mode that creative and tactical thinking is essential. Inviting intense challenge while avoiding beating you over the head with it is one spot where FF VII R truly shines. My only complaint was the lack of usefully enemy skills but not even enough to take off a full point. 9.5/10

    ATMOSPHERE: It took me so long to finish this game because I would find myself soaking in the striking scenery until I eventually forced myself to move on. The aftermath of the assault on Mako reactor 1, the Sector 7 Slums, the Shinra building exterior, and so much more left me in awe. 10/10

    CHARACTERS: It's FF VII vastly expanded. You delve into the relationships between members of Avalanche, something the original sadly did not include. 99% of the voice actors feel natural as their character although Square has always had problems with awkward NPC dialogue and random anime grunting but that's not something I can hold the VAs accountable for. Characters hold true to their original personalities but then they do happen to move beyond that, it's done very well, especially with Aerith. 9/10

    PLOT: This was the most divisive element of the game. Some people wanted a true retelling of FF VII (up to the end of Midgar) and not many fans were expecting a pretty severe divergence towards the end. After giving it some thought, I am fine with either way. I would have enjoyed the original story by now I am extremely excited (but also a little concerned) to see where we go from here. 8/10    … Expand

    - The game is very linear, would have been nice if you could explore Midgard a bit more freely.
    You find yourself a lot of time forced to follow someone and literally can't go anywhere except where that character is going.
    - It's episodic and thereby very expensive in the long run if you intend to play through all of them so other RPG:s like the Tales of Berseria, Kingdom Hearts or Xenoblade (if you own a Switch) might be worth considering.
    - Some summons is locked behind a paywall which feels ridiculous when the game is already episodic.
    - There are very few sidequests and they are not very interesting, for example, I picked up all sidequests in the slums where you start off (6 of them).
    More or less all of them sent me into a warehouse to kill some enemies.

    Es increíble lo bonito que se ve este juego, se ve bastante realista en todo momento, la iluminación de los objetos es fantástica... te hace sentir que estas literalmente dentro de Midgar, antes sólo se podía imaginar. Ahora es una ciudad viva con habitantes y sentimientos que hacen más realista el juego.

    Música 10/10
    La música se funde perfectamente con las escenas de acción y con los combates, los arreglos que le hicieron a las canciones originales suenan excelente y son un giro fresco y moderno al juego. Me gustó bastante la opción de encontrar discos de música a lo largo del juego como coleccionables. Tengo la edición Deluxe y trae un minisoundtrack que estoy disfrutando bastante.

    Historia 7/10
    Aunque ya nos sabemos la historia de este juego, creo que para los que no lo han jugado puede resultar un poco confuso pues no explican bien muchas cosas y sólo son escenas como flascbacks de el pasado de los personajes. Creo que falta más explicación ya sea contada o a manera de documentos coleccionables que lo cuenten. Entiendo que con todo lo que han agregado y la gran cantidad de gráfico, la historia tenga que contarse por capítulos; es algo de lo que no podemos esperar de otra manera debido a la inmensidad de este proyecto que limita a los desarrolladores y siempre será un pequeño defecto de esto: la entrega por partes.

    Jugabilidad 9/10
    Yo sólo juego JRPG gracias a este juego en primer lugar, y estaba escéptico del modo de juego que han colocado en las últimas entregas de la saga (los cuales no he jugado por que no me llaman la atención). Sin embargo ya jugandolo, SE SIENTE como un JRPG... hay un ATB (active time battle) como en el original a manera de turno el cual se acumula y puedes elegir la acción de cada personaje como si fuera un menú típico de un JRPG. Las batallas son acción pura, pero la jugabilidad tiene integrada perfectamente los menús de un JRPG. Es increíble.

I'm the type to choose warrior, and it sucks that when spec out toward just melee you still don't do a whole lot. Didn't have much problem beating it on normal, but it just feels silly that every enemy in the game takes quite a few hits to beat. Boss battles felt right though, the flying house with all its resistances was more annoying than challenging. I literally got bored and was dosing off during that fight. All in all, had fun and felt the purchase price was worth it. I do hope that the combat isn't so magic favored in the future games.

    I was really excited about this but to put things as simply as possible and not overlong like the combat is, the game is simply a chore to play. The combat philosophy seems to be to remove control from the player as much as it can get away with. The maps require an exhausting amount of running back and forth for dialogue so simplistic and shallow it borders on machine generated.

    Muy buen juego, entretenido en todo el sentido de la palabra, pero siento aún así que le faltó algo de esencia, aún así, un juego muy recomendable

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I mean this had me supper excited until you get to ch 17 & 18. If you have not played the original, I'm not sure how you would reconcile why cloud is fighting sephiroth. In the original, you really get a sense of how crazy and evil sephiroth is. In this game, it's like he's a cool looking bad guy. in the original, you'll end up hating him for some of his actions he perpetrates on your team. Now I just end up hating square for selling out and hate myself for buying into another Final Fantasy. They really have derailed from awesome story telling in exchange for a wider audience, more games and more money. It's no wonder indie games are becoming so popular because big corporations like this are like shinra and mako. They want more of it.… Expand

    Final Fantasy VII is a gorgeous remake of a classic jewel, the graphics and art design are awesome, the new combat system is simply perfection and the story is really well-written, I'd liked that it would have contained the full story of the original PS1 game, but still, is a great game.

    La reinterpretazione dell'originale Final Fantasy VII per ps1 risulta tal volta molto fedele e approfondita, nonostante non manchino variazioni significative ad alcuni aspetti della trama, che comunque rimane la stessa a grandi linee.

Ogni tanto si sente che determinate sezioni di gioco siano state allungate parecchio rispetto all'originale, ma non risulta essere un difetto considerando che il titolo (venduto a prezzo pieno) deve presentare tutte le caratteristiche di un gioco completo di circa 30/40 ore di gioco. La struttura di gioco resta comunque molto lineare, ma non per questo mancano le chicche opzionali, squisitamente JRPG.
    I numerosi personaggi hanno avuto molto più spazio che nell'originale per ps1. I membri dell'Avalanche per esempio sono resi molto più "umani" e in generale l'estetica di gioco ha permesso che le emozioni dei vari personaggi venissero fuori in modo naturale e toccante.
    Il game play farà sicuramente scuola nello saturo panorama JRPG che raramente ha potuto vantare un ibrido tanto interessante. Si può adottare un approccio prettamente action ma la difficoltà (nella media rispetto agli standard) spinge ad utilizzare le pause tattiche per adottare strategie più complesse che rendono soddisfacente i scontri più concitati (che sono molti). Rispetto al quindicesimo capitolo della saga, qui il game over è molto più temibile se non si studia con attenzione il proprio equipaggiamento, soprattutto le materia. Le armi offrono approcci diversi allo scontro e possono essere customizzate in base alle proprie preferenze. In generale il gameplay è uno dei punti di forza del titolo, che mostra il meglio di sé nelle numerose bossfight. Durante tutto il gioco non sarà possibile utilizzare un party di più 3 personaggi giocabili, anche quando tutti i personaggi saranno nello stesso posto. Di questo problema ne risente soprattutto Red Xiii, che fungerà da personaggio di supporto non giocabile, sembrando inconsistente rispetto agli altri membri del party, anche dal punto di vista narrativo.
    Il comparto audio visivo è di grande qualità, soprattutto la gestione delle luci, dei dettagli ambientali e degli NPC, che rendono vivi i luoghi esplorati, nonostante certe volte sembrino un po' anonimi nel character design.
    Alcuni sfondi risultano sfocati e stonano parecchio con la minuzia con cui è curata l'ambientazione; inoltre a causa di alcuni bug, certi poligoni presentano texture non caricate che fanno storcere parecchio il naso, pur non influenzando troppo l'esperienza di gioco.
    La soundtrack del grandissimo Nobu Uematsu è una delle migliori che abbia mai ascoltato. Presenta una carrellata di brani che possono essere distinti in perfetti riarrangiamenti di musiche originali e nuove interessanti produzioni, come la bellissima "Hollow".
    Un difetto degno di nota riguarda la gestione della narrativa e delle bossfight nella parte finale di gioco. Nel tentativo di sorprendere i giocatori e "giustificare" il carattere stand alone di questi primo episodio, sono state apportate delle modifiche sul finale che, per quanto interessanti come forma di meta narrativa, hanno anticipato certe bossfight (o comunque l'impatto che ne sarebbe derivato) in modo non necessario, tradendo una certa paura nel non riuscire a completare i prossimi episodi. In breve sembra che Nomura abbia messo le mani avanti lasciando intendere che se non fossero riusciti finire il progetto ff7 Remake, almeno avrebbero lasciato un primo capitolo che a livello di bossfight avrebbe "chiuso il cerchio".
    Nel complesso il gioco rimane un piccolo capolavoro che se manterrà questo standard qualitativo per i prossimi episodi, potrà dare nuova vita alla saga di Final Fantasy. 8,75/10    … Expand

    This game is amazing - we've all waited years for it and I say its lived up the hype and then some. The combat and characters are sublime plus the music is both remixed beautifully to match as well as giving that nostalgic feeling.
    There are so many questions going into the next installment but I couldn't be more excited for 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?
