    SQUARE had finally achieved to figure the battle system for the new era of FF by advancing the ATB with the ARPG elements.

    The rearranged game music and new-get graphic are awesome as always. Just wonder how the story will be developed in next installation of the Remake    … Expand

    I fell in love with the Final Fantasy series with FFVI and the original FFVII was my favourite of them all. The remake expanded on the story and made for some fantastic nostalgia, thank you Square.

    Super Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64 is such a good game the music is great the controls are solid but it does feel a little bit wonky and bosses are fun there not to hard or not to easy. It would always be a iconic piece of art and it does have a place in my heart.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is amazing. All the low review scores are people who don’t understand what this game was meant to be. It was never going to be a shot-for-shot remake and while the padding sometimes is a little much I really enjoyed it because it allowed me to spend more time with these characters and really fall in love with this world. Yes the ending was changed but that leads back into the name of the next part, Rebirth, implying that the game won’t stay the same because of the ending. Now that fate isn’t running the show anymore the game is free to change, and I feel that fact makes it worth 60 dollars every couple years, since it’s this long and it’s a new experience. 10/10 can’t wait to play again. also just thinking about some of the scenes in this game literally causes me to cry, or become irrationally happy, so if that helps to sell you on the game, please just buy it. to me, despite the few flaws, its my favorite.… Expand

    I never played the original game but I absolutely adored this remake. The characters for me are some of the best. The chemistry between Aerith, Tifa and Cloud is like none other and along with Barret's quick wit create one of the best experiences i have had with a game. The story is incredible the game play is fun and I cannot wait for part 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Remake of perhaps my most beloved game that really accomplished what I believe it set out to do and I am very exceded to see where Square goes with this. Though it is more of a sequel reboot than a remake, I actually prefer it that way. Myself, and I feel a lot of other people, have wished they could forget about a game so they could experience it for the very first time all over again, and the remake trilogy will be the closest we ff7 fans will get to that operatunity (aside from anyone who might get amnesia). I heard a conspiracy theory before that the entire original game of ff7 was a vision in Aerith’s head; the fact that we see her face in the beginning and at the end could be used as evidence for this, but that seems a little weak. Though the remake seems to indicate that that could be true!
    The only real criticisms I have with this game is that the expanded content wasn’t entirely perfect. The only chapter I felt to have been kind of unnecessary and drawn out was the revisit to the sewers in chapter 14 (it would have actually made a good side quest tho). It also would have been good if there were some side quests on top of the plate where I would like to have spent more time. A lot of the side quests they did have were a little tedious, but a few were a really nice touch and I also think the side content will likely be better in part two, as that game will probably cover more of the story and be able to more easily fit in new stuff due to the new timeline. I also didn't like it when the characters only survived because of fate, but fate is dead now, so that will be fixed in part 2 as well.
    Ultimately, I cannot say I disliked or felt bored during any part of the game. I loved this game and everything else from the music, to the battle system, to the characters, to 95% of the story was perfect. Let's just hope they don't screw it up in part 2, but I've loved what they've done so far so I put my faith in them, for now anyway.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O Final Fantasy VII Remake é uma verdadeira obra-prima que ultrapassa todas as expectativas. Este jogo magnífico conseguiu capturar a essência do clássico original e elevá-la a novos patamares de excelência. Com gráficos deslumbrantes, uma trilha sonora espetacular e uma jogabilidade aprimorada, ele traz à vida o mundo cativante de Midgar de uma forma que nos deixa maravilhados.

    Uma das maiores conquistas do Final Fantasy VII Remake é o cuidado e o amor pelos detalhes que transparecem em cada cena e cada interação. Os personagens são retratados de forma vibrante e emotiva, com expressões faciais e movimentos que revelam sua personalidade e profundidade. Cada local, desde as ruas movimentadas até os ambientes mais sombrios, é ricamente detalhado, imergindo o jogador em um mundo rico e envolvente.

    A narrativa do jogo é uma verdadeira obra de arte, com uma história complexa e envolvente que nos leva por reviravoltas emocionantes e momentos de pura emoção. Os diálogos são bem escritos e os personagens têm suas motivações e arcos cuidadosamente desenvolvidos. A maneira como o jogo combina momentos intensos de ação com momentos mais calmos de exploração e interação é perfeitamente equilibrada, mantendo a nossa atenção e nos deixando ansiosos para descobrir o que acontece a seguir.

    Além disso, a trilha sonora do Final Fantasy VII Remake é absolutamente fenomenal. Desde as músicas icônicas que todos conhecemos e amamos até as novas composições que se encaixam perfeitamente no clima do jogo, cada faixa é uma obra-prima musical que nos envolve ainda mais na experiência. No geral, o Final Fantasy VII Remake é uma homenagem incrível ao jogo original, trazendo uma nova vida e uma nova perspectiva para uma história amada por tantos fãs ao redor do mundo. É um exemplo brilhante de como um remake pode ser feito com maestria, respeitando suas raízes e, ao mesmo tempo, oferecendo uma experiência fresca e emocionante. Este jogo é verdadeiramente um tesouro e merece todo o reconhecimento e elogios que recebe.    … Expand

    En mi opinión este remake supera en todo al juego original. En lo gráfico obviamente, en la profundidad de los personajes y sobretodo en lo jugable: que, en mi opinión, es la mejor. No solo entre los final fantasy sino entre los videojuegos en general.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was both nostalgic and new, I enjoyed reliving the first portion of the original classic (FF7 is my 3rd favorite FF game), and they gave the beginning of the story so much more meaning and the additions to the story really expand the universe of the FF7 series, and I can't wait for the sequel and see where it goes from here.
    Each character had great character arcs that really expanded who the characters were, my favorite was Barrett's story arc and seeing how passionate he was and seeing how he and Clouds relationship evolved over the course of the game. All character's personalities got really fleshed out and I felt like i got to know all of the characters better than i knew them before.

    The Combat was great, they took what was good from FF15 and combined it with was good about turned based combat and really made a great combat system similar to Kingdom Hearts, but with a much more fluid feeling.

    The graphics were great and really felt consistent with the original steampunk feel of the original.    … Expand

Playing on normal will test if you were paying attention to the tutorials (tutorial skippers will die like the losers they are) trying to keep everyone alive while trying to find the bosses weakness. Only been playing several hours so I don't know how long the game is, but loving the beautifully animated cutscenes and the combat. Usually play these for the stories but combat is super fun and intense once you get the hang of it. My only negative (which I will forgive since this is a remake of someone else's story) is the celebration of murdering hundreds of innocent civilians and destroying countless more homes and jobs and lives to "save the planet" and the celebrating while their lives literally burn down is disgusting and makes me dislike the characters (so far). No human life is worth giving up for the sake of the "environment", since all environmental movements are founded 100% on lies and seek only to supplant capitalism with communism (which would kill lots of you - starvation is a terrible way to go).… Expand

    With the hype surrounding this game second only to the return of Jesus, FF VII Remake had such lofty expectations that there was no way it was ever going to fulfill them.

They really should have addedWith the hype surrounding this game second only to the return of Jesus, FF VII Remake had such lofty expectations that there was no way it was ever going to fulfill them. However the game comes about as close as I could have expected it too. I first want to say that people who expect this to be the whole game remade need to rethink how they view this game. They really should have added some sort of Part 1 subtitle to this so people know that this isn't the full game.
    What this game gets right, gets those things extremely right. The level of detail and atmosphere here is astounding. I don't think I've ever seen some of the attention to detail presented here in any other game ever made. The staff treated each character and setting with extreme care. It really shows in how the characters interact with each other and the environment around them. As well as the subtle nods to old fans of the series with the various flash-forward sequences that show what the player knows happens after Midgar ends and the rest of the game begins. The new content is also very well done and, while some of it can feel a bit prolonged at times, it all fits into the story very well as well as gives some of the characters from the original game, who may not have been given the time to develop as a character, their own time to shine here. If this is going to be the level set for all of the following games, then the amount of detail here will be staggering.
    However not everything here works well in the long run. The combat can be hit or miss, especially during the final portions of the game where it expects you to be able to read each enemy like the back of your hand if you want to survive. Especially on the hardest difficulties. The combat in general is a mixed bag. On one hand I like how it all fits together and flows at times, and on the other it can be extremely frustrating when you get 1 shot by an enemy you cant see on screen while at max health. It can feel very cheap at times. Also the voice acting can be a bit wonky at times. 95% of the time, all the VO's are great and each character is very well realized throughout the story. But certain characters, like Tifa and Aerith, will deliver some very deadpan and unenthusiastic lines during high pressure situations. It's a fairly minor thing, and doesn't happen a lot, but happens enough to make it noticeable and can take you out of scene.
    As I said before, this game was never going to live up to the massive amounts of hype that came with it. But it does a very good job at coming close. And out of the about 40 hours it'll take to complete this game, not including going back to do the trophies or side quests you will miss along the way, I never felt like I was just trying to grind through it. This is something I can recommend for new and old players alike as it feels like a brand new experience and one that I'm excited to see what they do with in the future.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is something of an enigma. For starters, it's not in any way shape or form a remake. It takes the first maybe five hours of the original and stretches it out to make something that is altogether different.

    This is both a blessing and a curse. It allows for the supporting cast to be fleshed out much more, especially the other members of Avalanche, which really adds something to the story. However, it also, means that there are quite a few filler side quests that probably didn't need to be in there.On the whole though the game benefits from the extra time you get to spend in Midgar.

    The battle system takes some getting used to but on the whole is an improvement on the original, giving it a more immediate actiony feel. I was sceptical at first but doing some stabbing while you wait for your meter to fill up for the big attacks does work well. The only downside is that your AI companions ATB bars go up incredibly slowly when you're not controlling them so you have to switch constantly between characters to be effective.

    It goes without saying that the graphics, music and voice acting is exceptional. There are occasional texture issues but they are far enough apart that it didn't affect the game for me.

    Overall, this is a fantastic reimagining of arguably the best console game of all time. I only hope we don't have to wait twenty odd years for the next instalment.    … Expand

    Now, I never finished the original Final Fantasy VII due to losing save data and stuff, so my memory on it is a little hazy.

    Overall, it's well done and the story didn't stretch thin for me. My only complaint would be the "mysterious figures" showing up to kill the pacing or act as a Dues or Diabolos Ex Machina. Sure, their appearance gets explained later in the game and then you can probably see what they're going for...but it still isn't great and I hope it is done away with in future parts.

    Characters.

    Personally, I enjoyed all of the important characters. Party members, villains and allies. Banter between them is fantastic and I can't recall the last time I laughed out loud because of it in a video game. There were a few characters who I was pretty "meh" about, but they all appeared in side-quests anyway, so that's all optional.

    Combat.

    It might not be for everyone, but back when I played the turn-based Final Fantasy games this was always how I imagined it going. You can also control all characters, instead of only being stuck with one like in FF XV (Unless I'm remembering that wrong).

    Overall, it feels pretty good to run around the battlefield hitting foes or casting magic and having some degree of control over your party members. As far as I know, you can also make some pretty broken Materia combinations. Which is fun.

    Graphics.

    All the important characters look very good and are easily recognizable to those that have played the original, Midgar itself is also highly detailed! Unfortunately, the NPCs vary in appearance. Those that you speak to for side-quests look about the same as the important characters, while there are some background characters that look like they belong in a PS3 game. Midgar itself is also varied, there's a lot of grey and brown, of course. But certain areas also look gorgeous.

    Sound.

    Voice acting was excellent and I loved the music. My only complaint would be all the background characters chattering. It helps in making the game feel like it's alive, but it can get quite annoying to hear three conversations blend together while Cloud and his party members walk and talk.

    Replayability.

    After finishing the game, you unlock a "Chapter Select" screen and replay chapters with your current level, equipment and materia. And you unlock Hard mode as well. Playing in this mode gives you access to things you can find in other difficulties, which is something I still all need to find out myself.

    Final Verdict.

    Although there were *some* bumps in the story I wasn't very pleased about and the game itself *feels* short (which is weird to say for a game that's between 30 and 50 hours long) I'd still say it deserves a 9.

    I would be lying if I said that I wasn't concerned about what Square Enix has planned for the future parts, if we have to pay full price for them, if we can download them for free, buy them like expansions or whatever. But for now, I won't let that colour my review.    … Expand

Next I'll say that the original FF7 was THE GAME for me that basically got me into gaming, I'll still say it is probably the best game ever made. Thus I had high expectations for the remake, and I was always worried about how this was going to be executed.

    In short, it's amazing. It's almost a masterpiece, but doesn't quite reach the heights of the original. And could it ever? No. And that is because it's only a tiny piece of the original. If they remade the FULL game with this level of quality then yes, it would be a masterpiece.

    The characters in the game are honestly brilliant, with Tifa by far being the best with exceptionally good voice acting. It's great to see an expansion on some of the peripheral characters such as Jessie. For the first time in a long time, I really cared about the characters in a video game.

    Graphically the game swings from amazing with brilliant characters models but then to the outright awful with poor textures in some of the environments. But overall I'd say this was a great looking game. The summons in the game look fantastic, with Shiva being the highlight for me.

    Music wise the game is amazing, the production here is second to none. That opening scene, wow, just wow. TURN IT UP! The music really adds to the atmosphere and for the most part plays testament to the original. There are a couple of missteps music wise, with wall market being my least favourite with cheesy techno pop.

    I love all of the little details the developers have put into this, such as Barret humming the tune that used to play at the end of each battle in the original. I laughed the first time he did it. On the topic of humour, there is some of that too. Cloud constantly belittles Barret in the first few hours of the game as their relationship develops, these scenes made me laugh too.

    Now onto the combat...wow...it is simply amazing. It is so dynamic, deep, and strategic. It takes a while to uncover its full potential but when you do and everything just clicks it’s a real joy to play. The only bad point about the combat is in literally one or two battles there can be just a little bit too much going on which I found personally overwhelming at times. The camera angle doesn’t help at times. But this is really infrequent and did not negatively impact my experience with the game.

    I'm really enjoying hard mode, I really like how it forces you to think much more strategically about your use of materia especially in light of how you cannot use items...ever. Playing through on hard mode is allowing me to further uncover aspects of the combat I never realised in my first playthrough.

    There are lots of reviews that mention filler. I would generally agree with this but at the same time I enjoyed the break from the pace of the story to learn how the combat works. But I think Square could have been more innovative with this admittedly. I didn’t think these were ‘bad’ parts of the game, they just weren’t on par with the quality of the rest of the game.

    There are so many good things about this game I find it hard to understand some of the insanely bad reviews some of the users are giving it...0? Really a 0?! You have to look at the overall general view, a Metacritic user score of 8 for a game that was always going to be VERY heavily scrutinised is extremely good.

    It's disappointing to see so many comments disappointed by the ending and some of the story changes (honestly it is not that drastic). At first I was somewhat confused by the ending but as I thought about it more it makes sense really - without giving too much away all Square are trying to do here is expand upon what COULD happen in the next few parts. It leaves you wondering where they are going to take this next and I personally enjoy the mystery. I’m glad it’s not going be scripted and predictable – because if you think about it where is the fun in that? I doubt very much they will deviate from the original story too much but I do expect some surprises along the way if the ending of the remake is anything to go by.

    Now all I can do is look forward to the next part and hope that it is as good as this.    … Expand

    The game is just really amazing. I'd love to give it a 10/10 but unfortunately there's some parts I didn't love that felt slow just to drag on the game time. Amazing graphics and gameplay. Love how they put the cast to life!

    Este juego es un sueño hecho realidad para todos los fanáticos de FF7, hay que jugarlo sabiendo que no nos transmitirá la misma sensación que hace 23 años pero ver a nuestros personajes queridos interactuar de esta manera ampliando sus historias con unos gráficos increíbles es sencillamente magistral.

    Game is good, graphics are variable. Some places look good, other times look like PS3 game. If graphics were good then I would give it 10.

    Finally a good FF game. This is so much better than the FF15 garbage we got last time. Having played the original, it's amazing what they've done. The combat system is really nice compared to the rubbish they gave us in FF15. After FF15 I lost hope of ever playing a quality FF game again, but with this game they've really turned things around.

The only reason for not giving it a 10 is because of technical issues like texture streaming. At one point, all the textures in an area looked like PS2 texutres, but after restarting the game it sorted itself out. Can't wait for the next chapter(s) of the game!… Expand

    I am huge fan of original game and have played it numerous times on different platforms, so when this remake was announced I had a lot of doubts how can they transfer original spirit so many years later when FF series have been dying for so long.

    Well, Square did incredible job at refreshing this gem and I’m astounded it turned out to be great game that I really enjoyed playing. Yes, it is not 1:1 remake, far from it, but that is exactly a reason it turned so good, otherwise it might seem outdated of they mixed old game with new graphics.

    Now just need to wait for second part.    … 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.

    One of the best looking ff games ever made. Not to mention this game have the best combat system which is a mix between realtime and turn based. Music is great as usual like other ff games. Downside the levels are linear, the main story is only first few hours of the original game which is padded and stretched into 40 hr. They changed the ending which will drastically effect the next gameOne of the best looking ff games ever made.

    The game is a masterpiece. It is by far not a perfect game. It retells or better said REMAKES the story with an understanding that the original and subsequent games and movies exist. This game does not exist to overwrite the original but compliment it as a new entry in the FF7 world.

    Combat is probably the best ever. Characters are ... the best ever. Music is.... the best ever. The story it self is yes, convoluted but it is not hard to understand. I would HIGHLY suggest it to anyone. I would suggest you approach this game as a REMAKE though. it is not a remaster. Keep proper expectations and you will find a wonderful game.    … Expand

    Oh boy it's been a rollercoaster with this game.
    Initially I gave 0/10 with very angry review. Slow pacing, false advertising and boring parts in the first chapters really let me down. It is not full game, just episode 1 nor a remake like we all imagined. They changed so much! WTF?
    I was disappointed but decided to finish it, just to make sure... I was on the level 1 of understanding.    Oh boy it's been a rollercoaster with this game.

    I was disappointed but decided to finish it, just to make sure...
    I was on the level 1 of understanding.

    Suddenly game hit me at Chapter 9 when Aerith appeared. After long, boring reactor sections something clicked:
    Wow, Aerith is so sweet. The church looks great. Oh, Aerith house is amazing! Wall Market even better!
    That's when I realized - hey maybe it is not my 1997 game but it is still good.
    I reached level 2.

    Then I watched analysis of the story by Easy Allies and the other smarter people than me. And realized I was wrong all along. This game is really well thought and the story is amazing.
    Just like in 1997 I was from "what is this? a trash jrpg, don't show me this game dude" to "wow, this the game of my life".
    I reached level 3.

    To be clear: I think they should advertise this game much different. It is NOT A REMAKE, it is more like a FF7 sequel. BUT the game itself is great and I can't wait for the next parts. Nomura was right all along :)

    I'm sure it will be 10/10 when all parts are here. For now I give 9 for the first episode.    … Expand

    Lange ersehnt und da ist es endlich ich find's Klasse und eine sehr gute Umsetzung... Grafisch natürlich wieder vom feinsten! Ab und zu ein paar Probleme beim Rendern und manchmal ein wenig öde so geradeaus Passagen zu folgen aber die Story und das Kampf System macht dagegen alles richtig. Deswegen 9 Punkte

    Awesome visuals (played on 4k with HDR) and sound. Well produced, good story. I really like action RPGs so this game was really spot on. Haven't played the original, so I can't comment on that. If I must pick on something I'd say some of the side quest feels a lot like grinding fillers - but that goes for any quest-based game including Witcher 3 and RDR2 so... for me this is a solid buyAwesome visuals (played on 4k with HDR) and sound.

    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?
