    It's exciting to see the rebirth of an old game that has been loved for many years. The new FF7 is really great! Unparalleled picture quality and exquisite motion capture.
    More importantly, Square's battle system has accumulated many years of experience. ATB's combat system has evolved with multiple generations of Final Fantasy series, and it shines in FF7REMAKE. It's so cool to play Hard Mode!

    Genuinely epic, awesome gameplay (which wasn't why I even bought this game), and a brilliant story.

This game feels both extremely near and familiar while still feeling completely new and unexpected the music score is on point and makes the player feel so engage with the world. With that, the negative was the pacing toward the later half of the game felt like the build-up it was winding up was leading toward the end in a lot of scenarios so made the game hard to grasp when it was going to wrap up but I guess might not be a con for some to keep that element a surprise. The game great attention to detail and placement incited my curiosity to explore and actually want to do side quest and tedious errands. Expand

    I didn't play the original FF7 and I really love this game (38 hours on normal mode). The graphics and soundtracks and top-notch. Battles are very very good and engaging. I love the mini games too. Towards the ending, the gaming experience is very worth the price of the game! You wouldn't go wrong with this game!

    This game brought me back into gaming after a 10 years break, previously, other games just did not grab me and I couldn’t get past the first few hrs . Battle system is a treat and only gets better on hard mode and it’s great to see FF7 characters in HD, looking forward to future releases.

    Really great game! Both nice story, awesome boss battles and all characters with their own personality. You can tell they put a lot of work into this and I cant wait for part two! And the animation! Soo cool and Beautiful, the skin has structure during cut scenes!! Defenetly worth the money. I bought it in the Playstation Store but I Kinda want to buy it again just to have the game in irl.

    Definetly the strongest remake i have ever played. Ff7 remake manages to overhaul an outstanding game, it eleminates the shortcomings of the older game with newest technic and graphic but keeping its Story, while enhancing it and modifying it if necessary.
    Whilst doing that, it never feels out of place or wrong. Modifications to the story feel just right. It surely still has tiny flaws.

    This is like that meme: "I've only had Tifa, Aerith and Cloud for a day and a half. But if anything happened to them, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.". Way better than the original FFVII, one of my favourite games of all time, and that's a LOT.

The characters have been expanded upon a lot with the added diologue and top quality voice acting. the enemy variety is also superb and boss fights are just beyond brilliant.

    As for the story it's rather confusing. I personally like some of the additions they've made but at the same time the plot seems to be very different this time around after experiencing the ending. I guess it's been done to make the next parts more justifiable to buy.

    My only gripes with this game are the padding of areas made to extend your playtime and the sometimes lacklustre side quests. It's not enough to take the rating down however.

    I’m not a RPG fan but I might be after FF7 Remake. I played FF1 (NES) as a kid but grew bored of RPG’s and haven’t played one in 30 years.

    I didn’t know what to expect from FF7R and was overwhelmed at first. The fights were fast and seemingly complex - having to fight and watch the life gauge, ATB gauge and the boss’s animations to know when to block and attack. But it only took me
    I’m not a RPG fan but I might be after FF7 Remake. I played FF1 (NES) as a kid but grew bored of RPG’s and haven’t played one in 30 years.

    I didn’t know what to expect from FF7R and was overwhelmed at first. The fights were fast and seemingly complex - having to fight and watch the life gauge, ATB gauge and the boss’s animations to know when to block and attack.

    But it only took me about an hour or so to start feeling comfortable with the combat. After the first couple chapters it became like 2nd nature. I’m no longer overwhelmed and I love it more than the hack & slashes I’m more used to.

    I’m at the final chapter of the game and I’m beyond impressed. I started playing this game for my wife’s enjoyment, I was admittedly curious myself but felt it would be too cheesy for my liking. Now I’m very much attached to the characters and this game has been quite a journey. It’s constantly left me wowed with its visuals. The gameplay is fantastic and I can’t recommend this game enough. I haven’t seen the ending yet but I’m sure I’ll be patiently waiting for Part 2 once it’s all over. This game is quite an experience. Solid 10 out of 10.

    I am a new fan in this series due to this game. I have never played the original game before playing this, yet I feel nostalgic about it. The characters are amazing, and the dialogue is more than enough to keep you entertained during the side quests. The music is obviously amazing, and I can't believe old fans of the game had to wait since the PS3 for this game to come out.

    This game is amazing. I don't have experience with the original but this is a remake and shouldn't be compared to something that came out more than a decade ago.

    The graphics is great here and heavily emphasized on character models where it matters instead of wasting resources on genitals. The world is great too because it's linear and not some open world mess that's filled with bugs and useless chatter. They even put great detail into the NPC speech. With great lines and further flushing out the detail of the world.

    The story is original and possibly can't be told any better than it is here. Fillers are present Too and it fills up the world. They also give you some extra time to relax in between chapters. Side quests are curated. Not the best, but they each offer unique dialogue and cutscenes to further flush out the main world and story. They allow you to enjoy the world that they have painstakingly created here. And they serve as breaks. Because the main story are more like chapters in a series. Very well paced to create a sense of exploration and discovery.

    There are many locations in this game. And considering you can go though vents, walk amongst the roofs, sewers, maze like labs, ruins, and even 59 flights of staircases . Every other publisher would have cut this out because they are tedious when you say it.. no one wants that kind of content apparently. But hey it's here.. with uniquely designed dialogue and a great sense of progression along the way. No skin gathering to make bags, sticks gathering to make arrows, and all that kind of tedious progression wall here.

    The game is not realistic and it shouldn't be. It doesn't require you to craft, or even upgrade your stats. There's like an auto system to do everything. But manual system is also there for the hardcore. It's enjoyable. The combat is as flashy as it gets. You feel like a hero in the story. And who would choose to be a peasant in a game? You want to kick ass and this game lets you.. that alone should warrant 10/10

    There are alot of cutscenes in the game all with great graphics and mostly rendered in game. This is a technical feat even for today considering most games can't even create a smooth transition without a blackout frame or something. Performance also holds up quite well on a PS4 Pro that is. The graphics is really good here and you will be hard pressed not to be impressed. Textures are not great but I can't even be bothered to care because the majority of the times you would be staring at the characters rather than the wall or floors. Because look, it's not important or memorable to stare at the floors or walls right? The composition is what matters and it works really well here. Scenes are coloured and properly composed to invoke emotion and tension. Faces and character models are the best of any game.

    This game is not a short breeze. It's quite long and properly paced if you take it slowly.. it's around 2 to 3 hours per chapter. Just nice for a session every night.. for the people who love to blow through the whole thing in 1 day.. I would understand why they complain about the side quests.

    The soundtrack is amazing. Voice acting is absolutely perfect too.. I played it with Japanese voice and it's great.. because that's how it's built and meant to be played.. if you think the English dub is out of sync probably open your mind abit and play it with Japanese voice and subs. Because the world is global and English is just one small language.

    I enjoyed this very much. It has a great story and also unexpected quirks. I wouldn't detail it here to avoid spoilers but these are the little things that makes this game particularly memorable. Don't pass on this.

    For anyone on the fence: try the demo. It's free and takes about an hour. If you don't like the demo, you won't like the rest of the game because although the gameplay is varied and there is more story, I cannot honestly say it's all that different.

    How to play:

    - Do it on easy first; meaning finish the game on Easy.
    - Then come back on Chapter select and do the whole game on normal and you'll be geared up and at level 50 by this point.
    - If you have any end-game grind - like getting summons, getting weapon skills, or tomes - do it on easy.

    - Then (and only then) you should try hard mode. Hard more is quite challenging and requires some expertise/mastery of the game's systems and mechanics. It is NOT for casual players.

There are more interesting bosses in games like Resident Evil 4, more interesting characters in other games. But that's not me hating this game. Hell no. I actually really like this one, surprisingly i would say. Because i have never really cared for this series, but i have always known that they exist, they just never interested me. But this remake actually made best out of what the original was. Like this is literally best version of that game. This version actually made me care. Characters are not some low-resolution images anymore, but feel like actual characters. Now let's get to the reason why i even made this stupid account to write this actually very important review. There's absolutely nothing i hate more on this planet, than these absolute losers who give this game 0 out of 10 and claim that they have been hardcore fans since 80s and this new one is bad blah blah blah. Just give up. I'm literally telling you, if you are one of these people, just give up gaming, forever. It was same **** with resident evil remake (where's muh fixed camera angles), but it seems to be even worse with FF7 Remake. 8.2? Seriously? It's so obvious some absolute losers have tried to lower this score. But guess what. Nobody cares. Most people seems to like this game and FF16 will be even more action oriented. And no i don't care either. I'm just here telling you that nobody cares about your hate and whining. Because someone needs to say it. If you don't like these new games, that fair. Nobody forces you to play them, but that doesn't mean you just have to leave tons of 0/10 reviews, because it's so obvious that here are many double accounts. You have absolutely no right to ruin other people's fun. Go play your cartoon looking 90s games as much as you want and leave games like FF7Remake and FF16 to people who want actually fleshed out stories, good animations, top level graphics and characters who actually feel alive. Solid game, would recommend. Expand

I looooove the original FF7, but think if they hadn't changed things I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I did with FF7R. It would have been me just being nostalgic without worrying what would happen next, and that would be 0 tension or stakes for someone who knows the original story so well. This isn't an adaptation--I didn't want FF7 scene by scene, and the fact that they've added the "ghost" of original fans wanting everything to be the same as part of the story is smart and kind of ironic. 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. I cannot wait to see the rest of the beloved characters. I love the original, and I love this one. I love them both so much, and again, I can't believe they made this dream come true. Expand

    This is an excellent game that I think which remind me of FF7 in 1997 when I was a child. The characters are exactly the same I though it would be! The fight mechanism is beautifully done, and the resolutions of the game is just tremendous. The open-cliffed ending is also excellent since we players can talk about it after this game!

    I've never played a Final Fantasy game but I've heard by many that Final Fantasy VII was one of the most important videogames ever made.
    Final Fantasy VII Remake was my first game in the series and... oh boy, where do I begin!
    The story is good in my opinion and even though the ending is divisive, I liked it personally and I think that it's too early to criticize it.
    The characters are some of the most engaging and likable characters I've seen in a while, and even some minor side-characters surprised me a lot.
    The combat system is excellent! It's like a combination of Hack 'n' Slash & Turn Based at the same time, there are 4 completely different party members to control, tons of different skills, items and builds to use, it's deep, organic, it feels awesome and it looks phenomenal! The RPG elements are executed well and the Materia system is just wonderful.
    The bosses are some of the best I've ever encountered in a videogame.
    The music is fantastic for sure and it fits the visuals perfectly, and the visuals are breathtaking; the lighting, the animations, the textures and the setting are some of the best I've seen in a while.
    Lastly, the set-pieces and the visual representation are absolutely top-tier! Some cutscenes look like they are out of a CGI movie and there are so many jaw-dropping moments.
    I do have few minor complaints with the game though; the textures look bad at times, some chapters feel significantly longer than they should've been, and the side-quests are uninteresting for the most part.

    Pros:
    + Interesting story
    + Awesome characters
    + Flawless gameplay
    + Incredible music & boss fights
    + Absolutely gorgeous visuals & set-pieces

    Cons:
    - Inconsistent texture quality
    - Pacing issues in some instances
    - Weak side-quests

    Narrative: 7/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Content: 7/10
    Characters: 10/10
    Music: 10/10
    Graphics/Audio: 10/10

    Final Fantasy VII Remake isn't just a masterfully crafted Remake, but it's one of the best videogame experiences I had in a while and one of my favorite games on the PS4.

They invented a whole different way of playing action games and its brilliant! The one thing that might be bad if you are an OG player you might find the story super slow cause it only covers like 1/3 of the original story only. I can absolutely see OGs getting mad over the story but come on the gameplay is absolutely amazing! You gotta give them kudos for that atleast!

    I'm actually speechless, this game is absolutely incredible. it's bigger and better than the original in every possible way, a huge improvement when it comes to the visuals, gameplay, animations, character models and pretty much everything you can think of.

    I'm going to start with the gameplay first, well what can I say, oh my freaking god, arguably the best combat system i've ever seen in a videogame to date, the mix of Turn Based with Real Time Action is honestly flawless, it works perfectly and it feels very satisfying. The materia system is amazing, there is a lot of customization, it's easy to use and understand and makes the combat so unique and enjoyable. Also the boss fights are insane, there are so many of them, and they are quite challenging, you can't really play mindlessly and expect to win easily, you actually need patience and strategy to beat them, and I really liked that.

    Now when it comes to the characters, I think they're great, they have likeable personalities and slowly develop pretty well, their designs are fantastic and memorable, and you really get to bond with them which makes you feel like you're part of the team.

    It's worth to mention that the game is actually very big, the world feels alive despite being limited, you can just get lost in it. There is a lot of content, side quests, various minigames, VR missions and rewarding activities, so many things to do and places to explore, it's a pretty long experience and it's also very replayable, trying out new builds and doing the challenges is very fun.

    As for the main story, it starts pretty tame but things go wild quick, and even though it drags quite a bit later on, there are so many spectacles in it, some of the cutscenes are just cinematic masterpieces, everything looks gorgeous.
    The only issue I have with the story is the writing and some of the dialogue, it's pretty interesting for the most part, but it can get quite weak sometimes, some plot points aren't explained well and don't really make sense either, the story is clearly unfinished and I'm hoping the sequels do a decent job at explaining few things. I respect the fact that the writers managed to surpass our expectations by altering parts of the overarching story, it's a very risky but ambitious thing to do, and I really want them to nail it and achieve their goal. Overall I like the story a lot, and I believe that it's only going to get better from now on, I'm very excited to see how everything turns out in the end.

    Lastly, I really need to mention the stellar soundtrack, it's just so beautiful, one of the most iconic and magical soundtracks in a JRPG ever.

    It really is an outstanding videogame, It's not only an improved version of the original Final Fantasy VII, but it stands on its own very well. I would go as far to say that this is the definitive Remake, and the best Remake I've ever played.

    Final Rating: "Excellent" ~ 9.5/10.

All the other RPG games I’ve played (like Genshin Impact and Persona 5) can’t compare to this one.

    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.

    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?
