    The one thing I agree with in the negative reviews is that "reimagining" would be more appropriate than remake. If you wanted a 1:1 remake of the original game with turn based combat and an identical script, then buy the original on steam and download some higher resolution mods.

They'll always hate anything that isn't identical to their favorites.

    All that aside, it feels familiar to the aource, the stuff they added fleshes out the world in meaningful/interesting ways, the combat is a amazing step forward and meshes real time/turn based combat together in a really great way. The attention to detail and love that went into this game makes it a must buy.    … Expand

    Still a masterpiece, I miss it so much, now we can enjoy one of the best games ever made, in the beginning it's a little difficult to get used with the controller, but after some hours we get ready. Every FF fan will enjoy it for sure.

    I could go on about how much the original means to games in general (myself included, though not as much as some) but this isn't about twenty-three years past, this is about the here and now.

This will only be a quick review basically to some criticism being leveled at the game which can be justified but there are counters. Yes, it can feel bloated with side quests which are repetitive, however the extra time this affords you with certain characters can not be underestimated, giving more breathing room for dialogue and interaction with the world around you and with said character's by your side. This works feels real and alive in a way it never has before, with a narrative depth dug deeper with every event no matter how small or how important to the main story. At the end of my gameplay I knew these people, this world more than I ever thought possible and became more emotionally attached then I thought possible. With probably the best voice acting (with that extra needed, special final fantasy cheese) which is entertaining and enduring. The story itself does change dramatically, but to say any more would spoil events to come. Despite some texture issues this is a beautiful world, so much care has gone into the character models and the world itself it blends into the narrative to create a jaw dropping experience. Add to that the slightly divisive change to combat and bosses which can be exhausting, yet is never boring and nearly always epic. The game isn't perfect, but it is a complete remake with so much love and attention put into it, I cannot wait until part 2.… Expand

    Its more of a reimagination than a remake, the new battle system suck. this review has to be 75 characters long, but really there isnt much to say i guess the graphics are okay, the dialogue are nice at first but gets long. The ending doesnt make any sense but as said before its a reimagination more than a remake

    First of all, this is not a remake, or at least not what an average person expects of one, and certainly not the type of remake fans of the original had been asking for years. It's a pseudo sequel that assumes you already know the plot of the original.

It's a pseudo sequel that assumes you already know the plot of the original.

    With that out of the way here are some faults that hopefully will convince you not to give Square-Enix your money for this subpar product:

    -Final Fantasy XIII levels of hallway design, the game is extremely monotonous and linear, it even goes as far as blocking you with a WRONG WAY message like it's a racing game.

    -"We expanded Midgar into a whole game" actually means they added a ton of padding (it takes over an hour of walking simulator section just to get from the church to Aeris' house) and lazy sidequests (for example, kill 10 types of this enemy); you don't actually get to explore other sections of Midgar that were not in the original game.

    -Graphics take a huge nosedive after the demo section of the game, certain environments and textures look like something out of the Playstation 2 era, this is not an exaggeration.

    -New characters/entities start showing up early (also right after the demo section, conveniently enough) and often, and they pretty much ruin every scene they appear in by depriving the original characters of their agency. Not much more can be said without getting into spoiler territory, but it cannot be understated just how much these new entities clash with the atmosphere of the game and the story.

    -Action battle system doesn't actually offer any more depth, every single enemy you encounter just happens to be an annoying damage sponge, further contributing to the padding.

    -Despite all the padding, it's just a 20-30 hour game unless you are really dragging your feet or get stuck somewhere somehow.

    -Already known for years but always worth repeating, this "remake" only covers around 10% of the original game, but you still have to pay full price for it.

    -English voice acting is very mediocre for modern standards. Some characters, a lot of NPCs in particular, seem to just be monotonously reading the script while putting no actual effort.

    The music is good but thankfully you don't have to pay $60 to listen to it.    … Expand

The character lines and personalities are great but not perfect and neither is the lipsync and facial expressions of the main characters similar to the ones in Death Stranding: and still its the best Ive seen. The gorgeous music is of course an epic remaster of the old classics and they fit in the best moments and even the beat changes to actions and flow marvelously between ambiences. The combat systems do their best in cramming many items, spells, skills and materia while maintaining a very active flow in combat. The option to play turnbased is an unnecessary but welcome playstyle.… Expand

    All of the negative comments seem to misunderstand the term 'remake'.

This is a through and through reMAKE of Final Fantasy 7 and I've enjoyed the first 12 hours of it since it was released in my time zone to a great degree.

    Since it seems to almost be mandatory, yes, I too, played the original Final Fantasy 7 when I was younger. I don't think it's fair to even compare the two unless you're talking about anything other than story as the core gameplay (active time battle) incorporates real-time fluid combat with a mix that you have control over to slow time to a crawl and choose your next move. The game even offers a 'classic' mode that of course isn't going to be the same as FF7, but it pauses combat between moves so that you can strategically string them together more akin to the original.

    I have a strong feeling, though I won't accuse anyone with a negative comment, that they're angry because of the changes to the story and to a larger degree the ending. I feel like that's a totally warranted response, but going back to my first paragraph, this re*make* will likely continue to share the core story; however loosely that may be.

    I enjoy FF7 Remake *for what it is*, and it does what it set out to do perfectly, the narrative may not be quite what I was expecting, but I also didn't expect it to be a 1:1 copy of the original either. What I love most about FF7 Remake is the way they've created this hybrid combat system of ARPGs and traditional turn-based RPGs into something I think we will see more often in other games or systems resembling it.

    Also I agree with many other reviewers in that there are some nagging details such as the texture streaming, atypical map that can be hard to navigate in some areas in particular, and a great OST that I would expect out of the majority of Square Enix created games.    … Expand

    To begin with, it's just incredible that this game is real and Square Enix has put so much love here. Combat 10/10, Music 10/10, Characters 10/10, Graphics 10/10, Story 9/10, sometimes the pace is not just there yet and some few sidequests were lazy thought. In general, as the original, the remake is also one of the best games ever made.

This is an improvement on the original as in the original the characters just felt like skins in battle which you would customise with Materia - with the exception of weapon growth types and limit breaks.

    The music, writing, sub plots and content of this game really impressed me and this is a solid foundation for what will be an amazing gaming experience - similar to how Lord of the Rings is regarded in cinema.

    Only issues I'd have with the game is that some of the textures are slow to load, which can be distracting and detract from the immersion of the experience. There are some convoluted story elements that deviate from the original story but this doesn't ruin the experience at all, especially if you're a new comer to the franchise.

Materia System is addictive and now you can be able to upgrade your weapon using Sp even if you have a new weapon you can still stick to the old one. Characters are well portrayed and flesh out out even minor characters such as Biggs, Wedge, Jessie. I have a mixed feeling in regards with the story the side quests didn’t give me enough reasons to like them they are more like a padding to the game but that’s understandable though the main plot stayed faithful to the original up until the final chapter. And if it wasn’t for that Convoluted ending which reminds me of Nomura KH3 esque It could’ve been a perfect 10/10 nonetheless i will be looking forward to part 2 and this time in regards with the story people who played the OG already know the end and likely it will stay the same but the process of going there remains a mystery will It play out like the OG or not?

However if you're open to change or like me, enjoyed the likes of Crisis core and advent children and generally just wanted more Cloud And Co then there is a lot of good here.

    The story is incredible and the changes are exciting however I can't say much more than that otherwise I'd spoil it, you would need to play it for yourself in that regard. What I can say is that the characters are handled extremely well and there is a lot more development and exploration within those characters. As an all time fan I have been overjoyed at how the characters have been handled and expanded upon. It was like seeing how things were meant to be but couldn't be shown well enough back on the Ps1. The gameplay is also fantastic and is new and fresh, it has a good blend of the classic turn based mixed with a new action, hack and slash flair. It also has variety in switching characters and each has a different play style to delve into making for a real satisfying and deep experience. The visuals are absolutely incredible, however there are some texture issues such as doors looking particularly bad at times but I'm sure they will be fixed in a future patch. Everything is just such a pleasure to look at and is brimming with atmosphere, sometimes you just have to stand there as cloud and really take it all in.

    In conclusion I think this really is a return to form for square and a real good comeback to being the Kings of jrpgs, it really is everything I could've hoped for and I cannot wait to see what the next installments of the new FF7 series will bring. There is nothing else out there in terms of jrpgs with this amount of detail and polish and just straight up fun. I am very pleased. FF7 is back. 10/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most people knew that this wasn't going to be a shot-for-shot replica of the original game which is fine, but the ending to FF7R completely derails from the original to the point where semantics of what a 'remake' is becomes irrelevant. It uses the history and characters of the FF7 universe to start a brand new story on an alternate timeline. Characters that should be dead, no longer are so fundamental motivations and character arcs are out of the window. The next parts will be starting fresh and this should be extremely worrying to anyone who knows Squares recent history. Square no longer has the ability to create new stories that are coherent or interesting. This is why people were excited for a remake of a story that everyone already loved. They couldn't possibly screw this one up and yet they still have.

    Aside from the ending, there are plenty of other negatives too. Filler is a major problem. The side quests are almost all basic filler fetch quests. "Go here, kill x enemies, come back, go somewhere else, repeat." I've seen people defending this saying that you can't create a 30+ hour game without some padding. I don't understand this at all. Either make the game shorter or make the "padding" GOOD content. The game is much more linear than I expected. Almost every single walkable area in the game is a narrow corridor.
    The hybrid combat system is actually pretty good but there are big flaws in the AI. The enemies always agro on the character that the player is controlling and your allies do very little to help or defend themselves. This combination seems to be Squares way of ensuring that you switch characters often but it is so poorly executed and feels forced.
    The camera sucks in combat even with the recommended changes to the settings. You can't see what you're looking at half the time, especially if the enemy is above you.
    There is also a serious texture problem. The worst being looking down to the slums from the plate. I believe that this will be fixed in the day 1 patch though. It needs to be.

    It sucks to give this game such a low score. FF7 is my all time favourite and I really wanted this to succeed. The game gets some things right, and when it does, it absolutely nails them. But sadly there is just far too much crap surrounding it, that i'm left disappointed overall.    … Expand

    Well this is a remake, obviously there are new bits and pieces added to the game, and that is why it is called a REMAKE right?. As a long long time final fantasy fan, I love the new action turn based system. If you expect a remake to be as good and similar to the original one, go play the classic version then. 10/10 would play again.

    GET THIS GAME. If you're new to Final Fantasy and you don't care to ever try another Final Fantasy game again in your life. At least give Final Fantasy 7 a shot because it's considered the pinnacle of the series. I already snagged a copy for a buddy of mine who has been gaming forever, but hasn't tried Final Fantasy.

    - it's not an open world game any more with a huge world to explore freely, but rather walking through a lot of linear corridors and hallways and needlessly blown up filler content with no meaning other than stretching out Midgar into a full length game.

    - you can't even move around freely in Midgar. When i heard first of this remake playing only in Midgar, I thought they make some GTA type of open world city exploration out of it and that Cloud could drive around in the city with his motorcycle, but its really not like that at all. Its very very linear and episodic.

    - It has a lot of MMO like meaningless fetch quests, like rescuing cats or bringing something from point A to point B. And with a lot I mean really a lot.

    The graphic, animations, overall presentation and sound is very good in this game and the combat system is kind of fun, even if its way to easy, but everything else feels just mediocre at best and not nearly as good as in the original. What I really miss most is the huge world you could travel around in and all the different environments you could visit in the original.

    Even if FF 7 remake plays only in Midgar i really don't understand why they didn't make it more open world exploration like, like I imagine Cyperpunk 2077 or Dying Light 2 to be.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A promise has been made and then it was betrayed.

    I don't really have issues with the *changes* that expand on the FF7 OG stuff. The nonsensical, new **** (literally quoting IGN here) *additions* is what ruins everything, just like a spoon of tar ruins a whole barrel of sweet honey.

    Jessie getting more backstory and actual parents and expanded background? Absolutely great.
    Biggs or Wedge or both survive? Fine too, it was done more or less naturally. Jessie is still dead, as far as we know for now, and Barret's character development was more influenced by the whole plate-crash event overall and him realizing he almost lost Marlene.
    Wall-market gameplay and plot segment changed to play out a bit differently? Three mafia heads were added to the area to expand on it? Great, more to the story.
    Wall-climbing changed? No problem, it makes more sense now actually.
    Shinra Tower events altered? It's alright, nothing sacred was massacred. They also added a bunch of great stuff like history, research divisions expanded, etc.
    Roche? Whatever, he does not mean much and kinda a fun, goofy thing for a comic relief (and a least-intrusive cameo from KH).

    None of these changes are bad or something even old fans would strongly oppose. May be they'd argue about some small details and the way they were implemented, but it would be nowhere as bad as:

    > Sephiroth appearing, like, 3485345 times in the first few hours of the game with **** nonsense. Literally almost the whole backstory from Kalm spilled out (which has important and pivotal aspects for Cloud's character development, like him learning he did in fact kill Sephiroth) and others also meet him despite the fact this does not happen until Disc 2 in OG.
    > "CHANGEBAD GHOSTS" as an insult at the OG fans (“You are bad and should feel bad for clinging to old stuff! Change good!”)
    > State-of-the-art dumb alternate universe/timelines (or even KH-like multiversetimelines) nonsense as an excuse to completely rewrite the story after Midgar because "well, son, you've defeated the ghosts now, we can be free, aren't you happy ^)"

Final Fantasy VII em 1997 transformou uma franquia regional do Japão em uma febre mundial popularisando o estilo JRPG no ocidente, consolidando não só a empresa que o desenvolveu como a própria Sony no mercado de games, alcançando assim a segunda posição de jogo mais vendido do Playstation 1 (único RPG Japonês a alcançar tal marca), ficando atrás apenas de nada mais nada menos que Gran Turismo. Embora o jogo tenha angariado uma legião de novos fãs para a franquia, ainda assim existem pessoas que o odeiam só pelo fato do jogo existir, pois não conseguem aceitar que o Final Fantasy VII superou todos os seus jogos antecessores e mesmo após 20 anos ainda é extremamente relevante, fato esse consumado agora. É triste ver pessoas que nem se quer conheceriam a franquia se não fosse a existencia desse jogo o imputando criticas infundadas, só pelo motivo dele ser o mais amado da franquia, negando todo o mérito e contribuição que o jogo ofereceu para o universo dos jogos pelo simples fato de que ninguém liga para o seu jogo favorito. Depois de jogos que não agradaram o seu público na grande maioria como Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy XIII e Final Fantasy XII Square Enix conseguiu finalmente nos apresentar uma experiência Final Fantasy como antigamente, com gráficos estonteantes, um sistema de batalha completamente repaginado e estratégico (diferente do seu antecessor, Final Fantasy XV) fundindo o que há de melhor no sistema ATB com um hack'n slash completamente viciante, a maravilhosa trilha sonora completamente rearranjada e claro, a história repleta de conteúdos adicionais.

I can only liken it to the ridiculousness of the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

    The game is also extremely padded with parts/dungeons being too drawn out which also impacts the games overall pacing. The side quests are nothing to write home about and are also very few. Lastly, the game is a little too linear for my taste.

    The problem with overhyping a game leads to exactly this problem: the ability to critique every nook and cranny of it's features, good and bad.

    Unlike the original game, the remake has been artificially extended cinematically and gameplay wise, mostly repeating the same points over and over in game. Some new story elements have been added, but they don't appear to impact the game in a positive way at all, and frankly; weigh the story down more than it should.

    Yes, Midgar looks pretty, sure. But the world feels empty, just like in some of other Square's latest games. The NPCs have little to no purpose, they don't feel like people and they do not contribute much to the world at all, they are little more than rocks for the protagonist to either step on or around. Serious missed opportunities to expand the lore and mystique of the game more than just some fetch quests and extermination missions, or being stuck with a bore-fest of walking around and listening to everyone talking about what to do, instead of actually doing it.

    The voice acting, at least in English, is downright dreadful and cringe. Gone are the great VAs that made Advent Children a joy to watch and characters we enjoyed as kids in Kingdom Hearts. Instead, we have contradicting characters that regularly make asses out of themselves repeatedly in the majority of scenes, especially Barret and Jessie, all complete with horrible voice acting.

    The combat is passable, though more often than not it's just a series of button mashing, though strategy itself doesn't really have much use in the game. It's mostly just half-baked, and personally, feels even more so than it did in FFXV.

    This game feels very unfinished, and just a fragment of an original game that's being charged for $60 on top of preorders and other editions, this needs to stop.

    I highly doubt Square thought this through when they announced the game -five- years ago, and I doubt even more so that they have a detailed plan going forward, but I will remain highly skeptical of the company that I was once enraptured by.    … Expand

    If you love FF7, this game is not for you. It is a worse version of FF15 with some of the FF7 story slapped on top. The combat is hectic and confusing, most of the time you do not understand why you died or what you even were targeting. Camera goes haywire and you often end up targeting a enemy that is out of range. You do your special and, you are out of range. Now you are in range, ohIf you love FF7, this game is not for you.

The new parts of the story feels forced and out of place. --- This is not JRPG, this is a under cooked and rushed action game. Your head will spin from all the character changing during combat, camera going wild and targeting being bad.… Expand

    I'm going to make an account just to rate this game. I mean, you really start the game after midgar in the OG FF7. Other than graphics, this game is a huge let down. And that Ending, wtf were they thinking. Just a money grab project meant for hard core fans unlike the OG that impressed the entire video game community.

    This could have been a good remake if it wasn't for Nomura's obsession with story changes that are on the level of bad Kingdom Hearts fanfiction. People mainly wanted to see FF7 with modern graphics and a freshened up combat system. No one asked for them to completely mess up the story, but that's what they did.

    A lot of trolls leaving 0s I see. Judging by what they write they clearly did not played the game. They post a lot of inaccurate informations. Why do people do this? It’s so immature.

    Anyway, Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a retelling of the story of Midgar from the original Final Fantasy 7. It’s a FULL game despite what some people says. This is NOT an episodic series. Each games in this series are going to be FULL games. An episodic series is something like Life is Strange. This is not what this is. You get a 40h+ experience. It took me 42h to beat the game and I did not do all the side quests.

    The battle system is more action oriented than the original but it’s still got a lot of strategy. You can’t just smash the square button and expect to win. It’s still use the ATB system from the original but this time it’s use to perform special attacks, magics and items. Normal attacks can be done without the ATB. You can also block and evade in real time. It’s super fun and battle are never boring. The boss battles are really epic.

    The game has a lot of new side quests and events that really flesh out the characters and Midgar. The city feels alive. Not all of them are great but even the most boring quests will give you some nice development.

    The music and voice acting are pretty good overall. Some NPCs have some ok voices but the main cast is great!

    The story is the most controversial part for some people I guess. They are changes from the original and that is to be expected. I won’t spoil stuff cause this is a spoiler-free review. I’m glad they changed some things cause it will be boring if it was the same has the original. The original still exist and that’s great! I like that there is now two versions of this amazing story.

    I guess that’s it. I’m probably forgetting a lot stuffs right now but I’m just so excited I wanna go back and do a new game+. Lol

    See you guy and have fun!    … Expand

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is the game we've been waiting for from Square Enix for so long. Atmospheric, interesting and exciting all your attention modern jRPG with an interesting story and spectacular battles. To achieve the ideal, the project only needs more even graphics and all the content from the original release. If you were waiting for a turn-based classic with new graphics you will most likely be disappointed, since the game has changed a lot. Everyone else is happy with the release of the first really powerful single-player release from the internal Square Enix studio for many years. Especially after the failure of Final Fantasy XV.

    A good remake of the introductory part of the cult-favorite Final Fantasy VII. It improves on the original game in almost all aspects, yet lacks in scale and drops the ball at the very end.

    What matters is still intact, and that’s the heart and soul of one of the greatest stories in video game history. It’s a return to form that has felt a long time in coming, and what’s even better is that there’s still at least two more games of this quality to come...They can’t mess this up, can they?
