    Fan of FF7, this game in not perfect, but I got a huge pleasure to go through it. FF7 remake is a little bit easy, not in difficult mode but you need to finish the game, but I loved everything else.

    I would like to give a 10 but because of the side quests, I'm settling with 9. I loved the original and so this remake was a dream come true. It was like confirming your imagination and interpretation of each characters back when they were just blocks of polygons in 2D backgrounds. Not to mention the lack of dubbing in the original.

    Perfect combat system, perfect music, perfect introduction to its characters. That is FFV remake. It would be a 10/10 but the changes from the original version shouldn’t had happened. I Hope on the next tittle that everything will be staying as the original.

    The Game did everything i wanted and more, it's still a little easy on hard mode a 1st class mode would be nice. the air combat and the whispers brought it down to a 9/10 for me but these things can be remedied in the next game.
    My game of the year.

    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

    This is awesome! I loved every bit of this game, from fun and charming characters to incredibly sassy villains. Got to admit, I've never played FF games before this remake, but I'm hooked. Can't wait to try Intergrade on PS5!

The game sticks true to its original plot but with a major twist to keep the fans on their toes and to bring something fresh to a new generation. The music is breathtakingly remastered and some remade. The world feels alive and the combat is one of the best systems in Final Fantasy to date. My only gripe is that the textures can be absolutely awful in parts. But nothing that ruins the actual scope of how beautiful the game is.… Expand

    FFVII Remake, for me & many others, is indeed the best possible outcome that a Remake of a PS1 Classic could have fathomed. The music is out of this world, the pacing is absolutely sublime (with some minor grievances on two Chapters that are pretty much copy/paste's of each other), the visuals are breathtaking, and boy does it make me more excited than I have ever been for the future of the world of Final Fantasy VII.
    Let's keep our fingers crossed that the sequel (Or as many are calling it, the Requel) vastly improves on the Air combat, as for how rough it seemed in this installment, it could be superbly enhanced in future installments with the likes of Yuffie, Vincent, & especially Cid.    … Expand

    Terrific game. Bursting at the seams with high quality cutscenes and presentation.

Wie soll ein zweiter Teil da noch weiter machen können? Zudem - die Idee mit der Meta Ebene des Schicksals ist brilliant, aber hätte man diese nicht subtiler ins Spiel fügen können? Warum gleich im ersten Teil alles teasen und die Karten so offen auf den Tisch legen? Wir werden sehn wie Square Enix den Löwen wieder in den Käfig kriegen will in einer Fortsetzung.

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

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

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

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

The question is: was it worth the wait or is it an insult to your childhood. FF7R starts off with one of the best opening levels in any video game I’ve played recently. You go and hack and slash while listening to some S-tier music. It then concludes with a great boss fight that is tough and memorable. After that we go to town and it’s a little slow at first but once that iconic remixed battle theme came on, I was pumped. You then have to go through dungeons which can be a little confusing,but it is worth it. The bad guys of this game got my blood pumping, which can sometimes be rare for a video game. Also, the motercycle rides are A+. Soon we are introduced to a familiar face and the interactions between this character and cloud are amazing. The game then introduces us to even more characters and I could not get enough. However,this game is divided into chapters and while some chapters are amazing, some feel like they were made just for filler. But once you get through those filler chapters, it goes into a very emotional scene that I will not spoil. When I finished the game, my first thought was “when is part 2 coming out?” The game leaves off on a cliffhanger which made me love the game even more. Now onto pros and cons.
    Pros:
    Graphics
    Story
    Characters Soundtrack

    Cons
    Level design can be a bit bland
    Game is a little short

    Overall Final Fantasy 7 remake was worth its wait and I hope they can do the same for the sequels.

    You won't find a more anticipated remake in recent memory quite like Final Fantasy VII. The pressure of remaking such a beloved classic all the while still meeting fan expectations is daunting, to put it lightly.

Ever since the PS3 TechYou won't find a more anticipated remake in recent memory quite like Final Fantasy VII. The pressure of remaking such a beloved classic all the while still meeting fan expectations is daunting, to put it lightly. FF7's reputation precedes even the game itself, being one of the pioneers that put JRPGs on the map in the West, and making the series a household name. Ever since the PS3 Tech demo people were asking the same thing, "Where's the FF7 Remake?". 13 years later, they finally delivered...well, part of it at least. Even though the game only covers up to the first two hours of the original FF7, they somehow managed to stretch it out to a full 40+ hour experience. Did Square Enix succeed in their efforts? For my money, I'd certainly think so.

    The two most controversial changes that Square made to FF7 was in its story and combat. While the story follows many of the same beats as the original, certain sequences are told out of order, future plot details are given away early, and new story elements were added either to flesh out characters or turn things over its head. Some of the changes I felt were for the better, while others are definitely questionable (especially in regards to the endgame), and a lot of the new additions really helped to flesh out the characters more, especially ones we never got a chance to really get to know in the original. The main party characters like Cloud, Barrett, Tifa and Aerith are all wonderfully characterized in this game, and each are given many stand-out, hilarious and heartfelt moments.

    Combat is the other huge change. It's no longer traditional Active Turn-Based, but it's not straight up Kingdom Hearts like many feared. It's kind of a hybrid between the two. You'll use two attack buttons to build up your ATB meter, and then you can either slow time to a crawl to plan out actions or set actions to command shortcuts. The combat itself is fast-paced and satisfying. Each of the characters has their own unique playstyle, and you'll need to utilize their different quirks in order to successfully take down enemies. Party AI on their own won't do that much, so you'll need switch it up. Some will call it a detriment, I say it keeps things far more fresh and interesting. The materia system is still intact, with some additional upgrades you can make to all of your equipment to really maximize your potential. It also goes without saying that the game looks positively gorgeous, and FF7's already phenomenal soundtrack is given a great modern facelift. A majority of the boss fights are an absolute treat. Their climactic, challenging, and often towering foes that really test your abilities.

    The game is certainly not without its faults. Most of the sidequests offered throughout the game are, frankly, uninteresting. Most of them tend to boil down to, "find the thing, then another thing, and then come back". I ended up doing these side quests not because I wanted to, but because I knew I'd be at a disadvantage if I didn't. To be fair, things start to get a bit more interesting once you hit The Wall Market. Another issue would be the general dungeon length. I'd say the top of Sector plate onwards is when they start to seriously drag on. On more than one occasion I had to ask myself, "When is this gonna end?". Also, for as beautiful as the game is, there are still some gross parts like certain objects not loading textures properly or some the skylines being obvious 2-D images. I also mentioned how some of the later plot details and changes can be considered questionable and controversial. It all depends on how open you are to these changes and accepting the fact that this isn't going to be the same story as the original.

    FF7R is not substitute for the original, nor would I say it's outright better. It's simply another version the cozily sits along side the original and is there for those who want to be given a brand new experience, rather than just a simple retread. Personally, that is the mark of a really good remake. If you are not a fan of what FF7R has to offer, you still have the original to fall back on no problem. If you have yet to experience FF7 for what ever reason, I'd say go ahead and play both. They are both great games for different reasons, and which one you want to start with is up to you.    … Expand

The characters are further developed, and the Midgar world feels much more lively. The combat system is a great mix of active and turn-based strategy, and especially on hard mode encouraged me to really think about how to approach each battle. The dialogue was unexpectedly cheesy, and the I found the side quests somewhat of a chore. The narrow hallways for travelling the world felt very restrictive, more than some standard linear games. The story was acceptable, but I felt there were too many unexplained references to the original, and newer fans would be completely lost on the important connections. Overall great experience, and I look forward to the sequel.… Expand

    It is not the original, but still a great game, I believe that is the best this console generation could provide in therms of graphics.

    The gameplay is simply amazing, even better than the original ATB.

    There is also a few glitches on the graphics, but it is still beatifull.

But overall it's great. Usually when I complete a game I am done with it, but I'd reccomend anyone to replay this one again on hard mode, which unlocks after you complete it. This separates the men from the boys, and is the way it's meant to be played! No items can be used, MP doesn't replenish when resting, and the enemies are much tougher. You keep everything you got in your first play through, and it unlocks unique challenges in the combat arena which some get pretty tough. I'm not one for trophy hunting Usually either, but because it was so good on hard mode I made sure I got the platinum trophy. Would highly recommend to anyone who liked the original!… Expand

    Some of the side quests (especially the earlier ones) could have been better but they do improve and get more interesting as the game progresses. In terms of pacing, I feel like Chapter 14 was a little unnecessary as it almost felt like redoing Chapter 10

So skeptical that I cancelled my preorder to avoid being disappointed. I picked it up a few months later after seeing some reviews and finally decided to play it and I was wonderfully surprised. Not only is it one of the best looking games I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing, it took the story in unexpected ways that I’d say we’re mostly satisfying. Combat was a huge challenge since I much rather prefer turn based. The combat is really hit or miss, it’s either extremely fun and rewarding or makes me want to turn the game off from frustration. The characters I thought were portrayed greatly and Cloud especially had great development. The expanding of Midgar and some side characters were also very good. Not to mention the stellar voice acting. Personally my biggest gripe with the game was the pacing and the “newcomer friendly” aspect of it. This game could have easily been cut down 10 hours and didn’t have to drag on at certain points. It felt more like they were trying to hit a quota instead of putting meaning-full content to fill gaps and instead they said “Here’s a gauntlet of enemies and endless corridors”. Especially towards the middle and end the pacing can come to a stand still with moments from the original that took 5 minutes now taking an hour+. The pacing can get extremely slow and tedious overall. And for newcomers to the FF7 world I think this game will be very tough for them. This game I’d say absolutely relies on the knowledge of knowing the first game or atleast the general aspect of it. For that reason I’d suggest playing the original first. In general while I don’t want to sound like a old man and harp on about the original I think this remake takes that beginning section and really does improve it for the better. But with pacing and slight story issues there is definitely improvements that can be made in the games to come. I was extremely pleased with this game and cannot wait for the sequel/2nd part.… Expand

The world felt very immersive and alive. Having markers for quests, and less filler quests, would have saved some time. Chapter 9 was quite boring and sometimes the pacing was slow. The last couple of chapters were quite drawn out with the bosses but was a good challenge! The ending was very confusing for me and it would have been better if it was explained who Sephiroth was earlier. If you are new to FF, as a stand alone game the ending might be underwhelming so this is the main reason I decreased the score. Besides these minor negatives I enjoyed the game, I felt I was on a journey with the characters and wouldn't mind replaying because I loved the story and didn't do everything.

Me ha parecido un juego perfecto en el apartado técnico, con 30 fps constantes pero con una calidad gráfica realmente alucinante, teniendo en cuenta que es de PS4. En el apartado artístico me parece que no han podido recrear mejor Midgar, claramente superior en el remake con respecto al original. Los diálogos, la traducción son muy buenos y los efectos especiales y las cinemáticas me han dejado alucinado. La jugabilidad es extremadamente divertida e interesante, mezclando el estilo de juego por turnos con el "hack and slash", si se puede llamar así. Esto hace que los combates sean amenos y no se hagan aburridos. La única pega es que algunos bosses tienen demasiada vida, lo que va a provocar que nos demoremos un buen rato para derrotarlo. Yo no conocía la historia de este juego y la verdad que me ha enganchado mucho, tanto la trama como la evolución de los personajes. El problema es que los que no hemos jugado al original nos costará entender algunas partes. Aun así la complejidad de la historia y el lore del mundo me han encantado. Como pegas, las físicas de algunos objetos del escenario, algunas misiones secundarias que son aburridísimas e innecesarias y el diseño "pasillero" de muchos de los lugares, que se basan en una línea recta y no hacen justicia al juego. A parte, se nota que en ciertos capítulos han querido alargar mucho el juego y quizá hubiera estado mejor que se ahorrasen algunas partes de puzles y batallas un tanto repetitivas. Cabe destacar que la música es probablemente una de las mejores que hay en los videojuegos, con temas míticos que pasarán a la historia. Estoy deseando que salga la segunda parte de este remake para continuar con la historia de este juegazo. 9,1/10

You can tell in every moment that Square Enix have worked with a lot of love and understanding on this remake. The team captured the atmosphere and magic perfectly. The whole game is like a piece!

    Per:
    - Art Design is very, very well done. The world and setting. The protagonists too. No matter if main or next to character.

    - The combat system has been adapted very well in this day and age. You are often forced to control all characters in battle, which the game does very well! For old fans there is still the classic mode. Nice encore!

    - Midgar was shown much more interesting, bigger and more intense in Remake. You learn a lot more about the people and the city itself. In my opinion, it's very important because the city is a very important part of the entire story of FF VII.

    -The soundtrack is fabulous. Nobuo Uematsu and his team did a great job. I could list tons of songs ...

    - The story itself is one of the best in video game history and is more relevant than ever!

    - On the subject of the opening scene, for me the best thing I've ever seen. The developers have outdone themselves! The tracking shot, the background music. The transition from CGI to in-game! This is how you start a game! Bravo Square Enix!

    - The sound itself is of the finest quality! High quality, whether in the fights or in quiet scenes.

    -Graphically very successful. Thanks to the Unreal 4 engine, the game looks very good as an overall package.
    Light effects, great resolution. buttery smooth performance ... there are small negative points that didn't bother me that much.

    Cons:
    - In some places the backgrounds are a bit vague.

    - Textures sometimes load a little late.

    - I played the story in English with German subtitles. In my opinion, the content comes across much better in English. The German texts are of course based on the German synchronization. But why isn't the German synchronization aligned with the English one? The content comes across much better in Japanese and English.    … Expand

Os gráficos em geral são bonitos, porém o jogo infelizmente tem um problema na hora de carregar as texturas, pois em cenários mais abertos as texturas ficam borradas, porém nada que atrapalhe a experiência; a jogabilidade é fenomenal, pois ela consegue agradar tanto os que jogaram o jogo original quanto os que estão jogando pela primeira vez; e a trilha sonora é impecável, pois são as músicas do jogo original remasterizadas em um tom orquestrado, criando uma ambientação para o jogo. Agora sobre a polêmica dele ser dividido em três partes, eu entendo a indignação do pessoal em ter que pagar o preço cheio nas três partes (eu também achei isso meio zoado), porém se eles tivessem feito o jogo inteiro em apenas um disco, ele iria ocupar metade do espaço do HD do PS4, e também não seria possível eles aprofundarem a história e os personagens como eles fizeram nessa primeira parte, então vejo isso como um mal necessário. A primeira parte desse remake foi sensacional, e mal posso esperar pelas próximas partes que serão lançadas nos próximos anos!… Expand

    The story of the game is quite different from the original but it is still awesome. Characters feel so alive and you feel like a part of the gang. Gameplay is very fun but level designs could have been a little bit more explorable. The same thing also applies to the city. I wish we could explore every section of Midgar. But overall it is one of the best games of 2020.

The graphics, soundtrack, voice acting is top notch and i loved seeing this my childhood game remade with these amazing graphics. minor spoiler: Some things i didnt like was that i was really hoping that some of the scenes from the original would have been stilll in the game like the part in the original where you get arrested in the shinra building, in this game that part they basically turned it into a tedious dungeon that took awhile to finish, i feel it just drags on some of the dungeons in this game.

    Let’s be clear with something: FF VII IS a good game. Nonetheless, it does have its flaws (what game doesn’t, anyway?)

Nonetheless, it does have its flaws (what game doesn’t, anyway?)

    If you see some early videos from 2015 and compare the final game, you can see that Square Enix did a serious effort to actually make a good game that lives up to the hype. When I first read this project would be lead by Tetsuya Nomura I could only prepare for the worst... Both FFXV and KH3 weren’t exactly a good game, in fact, both of them if they didn’t have the franchise name would be games nobody would played to begin with. So, when I first grabbed my control, and played the opening chapter was delighted to se that everything that was done bad in the past, this time was corrected.

    Many complain about battle system and I can imagine it’s people that didn’t played FF XV (the first with real-time combat). Everything that had issues, it’s fully functional, even the use of magic and items and the fact that only pressing the attack button will make you die, so that you actually have to use your head to think what’s convenient for you speaks really well on the effort in this regard.

    Oh the technical aspect, this game truly reaches the limit of PS4. Many textures really have bad quality, but the vast majority does not. Actually, the draw distance is IMMENSE and due to this many scenes have such an impact, also, the characters have so much detail so you can apréciate the effort to make them look so unique. Square Enix really took serious efforts in this regard, I do not particularly think graphics should be something to mention that much nowadays, but this game DO makes its pathway forwards recognition in this area. Every animation, scenario, cinematic, dialogue, OST is carefully crafted: there’s lots of quality in pretty much everything you see or do in this game. As I stated before since the first couple of trailers back on 2015 Square Enix had a clear idea on how to make this game, yet really polished the game so it would be so special.

    What about the plot? It’s interesting, but sometimes I get the feeling that storytelling looses its path. Many things take its time to settle and/or make sense. Speaking of which: this game is relatively short (about 40 hours). it doesn’t even cover 1/3 of the original game, so it makes me wonder how much time it will take to actually see the full story on remake. Despite enjoying this game, it’s not the full story and this game took 5 years to finally hit the shelves... how many years will have to wait?

    Another thing to mention is the fact that they’re selling this game again with some extra DLC... EXACTLY for this kind of things I rate this game with 9. This could be a 10 or the best game in the. Entire history, instead, we get a really good game.    … Expand

    Бесплатная демоверсия FF7 Remake заставила меня пройти FFXV . И, знаете, сделал я это не без интереса. 80 часов хорошего роуд трипа со своими минусами и плюсами.

    Разумеется, после приключений Ноктиса и компании как никогда захотелось и дальше получать удовольствие от номерных частей серии. И вот, - руки дошли до FF7 Remake.

    Если коротко, - бегите ее покупать или заберите сейчас в PS+ пока есть время)
    Это достойный проект с кучей юмора, интересных персонажей и увлекательных кат-сцен.
    И про геймплей не забыли! От боев получаешь драйв. При этом играешь вдумчиво, не просто бьешь по кнопкам, а порой выстраиваешь целые комбинации.

    Про сюжет говорить сложно, так как я, считайте, только-только познакомился с франшизой. И, если хотите узнать побольше: почитайте Wiki о вселенной FF, посмотрите видео на схожую тематику или на крайняк, - читайте в рецензиях других пользователей. Порой встречаются очень достойные ответы на Лор. Но поосторожней там... Cпойлеры!!! От себя добавлю, что все это очень интересно смотреть. Привыкаешь к персонажам, следишь за сюжетом. И главное, с повествованием у игры проблем нет.

    Графика достойная. На консольной железяке увидеть такую красивую экспозицию крайне приятно. Конечно, встречаются мыльноватые текстуры, подгружающиеся объекты, но, что поделать, - бывает. Все это не мешает наслаждаться общей картинкой.

    Несмотря на то, что игре уже почти год, - она все еще актуальна. Не бойтесь попробовать в нее поиграть)

    По моему субъективному мнению, твердая 9 из 10. Я очень рад, что поиграл в этот шедевр. И вам советую. Главное - начать.

    Специально для СНГ комьюнити:

    Уважаемые геймеры(-ши), не бойтесь английского языка! Да, неприятно было услышать, что локализацию на нашем родном не завезли. Но! Здесь английский понятный. Всегда можно понять что к чему. Правда, если вы сомневаетесь - всегда есть внешний русификатор.    … Expand

The story, the combat, the more in-depth characterization. I loved the original. I love turn based RPGs. I also loved this game, even though it was wildly different. Nostalgia glasses aside (because, yes, I teared up when seeing Midgar and all the characters rendered so beautifully), this is a solid game, especially for the Final Fantasy franchise which somehow has become a better MMO developer than single player RPG developer.

    I feel the FF franchise has just wanted to make movies, and a lot of the gameplay and cohesion suffer greatly because of that (since FFX). The Remake has a lot of that movie studio polish and a new battle engine, but I found it enjoyable and engaging for *most* of the run.

    I have played this game almost 4 times through now and it has been out for almost 1 year. Where the game shines is the battle system, and how you can configure each character to your liking (though they still have their areas of excellence). Unfortunately the depth of the combat with weapons, accessories, and materia cannot be fully realized until Hard Mode is unlocked. I wish that depth could happen in a single play through, but I am no game developer and I wouldn't know how to make that happen.

    Playing through again on Hard Mode is all about the battle system and getting the most out of your play style. The Normal mode (or Easy or Classic) is there to engross you in the story. If you look at it this way, I think it's rather nice. Story first, then putting nose to the grind stone with a stronger battle mode.

    This game is far from perfect. Fortunately, or unfortunately, games lately, especially in the FF franchise, have been less than good. So the parts that are not great are still better or the same as other FF title issues.

    Some issues are the padded quests. They can get a little annoying for sure. There are also the mandatory shuffle-through-tight-space events. Really unnecessary. The textures issue is egregious, but I am giving them the benefit of the doubt and hoping it is fixed for the PS5 release in June 2021. Another sad point is that one of the characters towards the end loses characterization and becomes the cryptic exposition machine that Square Enix loves. I want to give the game an 8.5, but since I cannot, I will give it a 9 for the magic it brought back to the characters and world of FF7.

    One stellar part of the Remake is how they treat and characterize Cloud. Much better job than the original. And their handling of Wall Market and the transformation was so well done and very socially aware. I know a lot were worried about this portion and I can't think of a better way of handling it than they did in the game. Bravo FF7R team.

    I am excited for the Yuffie DLC and the next installment.    … Expand

Once you play the game, you just want to continue to see how it will surprise you next. Downside, game is short, probably just 30% of the full story, and the motorbike mini-game is all eye-candy, and it seem confused on whether it wants to be Gran Turismo or GTA.

    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.
