    Near perfect game, with the characters carrying the story all the way through. I live for the music and conversations between characters. I think for better or worse when the whole game series is released it will be one of the most talk titles of the decade.

    FF7 is my favorite game of all time and this remake made me tear up with joy. I just completed my hard mode run and the second run was just as enjoyable as the first. They nailed the gameplay, music, atmosphere and most importantly the characters! I can't wait for the next part!

    Honestly people who vote this game lower solely based on the fact that it is not a complete remake of the original are something else. Yes it does deviate. But the differences add to what is an amazing game. The revitalized soundtrack. Added depth towards previous stories. The game play itself is awesome. I played 14 and I couldn't get into it because if the game play.

Lastly the voice actors are amazing sephorath gives me chills cloud gives me hope. The only change I would make to this amazing game is changing the word mAko to MAko becausey child is ruined from how I thought the word was pronounced. Still. To good of a game to make this less than a 10.… Expand

    FF7R was such a fun game to play, when I was playing it I didn’t want to put it down. When I wasn’t playing it, I was thinking about playing it again.

    Brilliant first part to the FFVII remake. The battle system is easy to get the hang of, and the game isn’t a “button masher”, you have to be tactical within both normal and boss battles, which makes the battle system enjoyable. Also, the soundtrack is incredible. Square Enix have done a great job & I’m excited for part 2.

    Final Fantasy game at its best, this is pure entertainment. Plot, characters, music are just perfect and battle system might be... not it actually is the best battle system I've ever experienced. Moreover, this comes from someone who didn't play original VII, but even though I've cried, laughed through this game. Now Final Fantasy VII Remake is in my top games of all time.

Only negative is wanting it not to end. Just hope part 2 doesn’t add to confusion. But has clean clear understood dialogues that build on what was set… Expand

    Exceptional. As someone who has not played the original - but is familiar with the story - FFVII Remake combines excellent music, a surprisingly deep combat system, engaging story beats, and some of the best characters you'll meet in a current gen game to deliver a complete package. I cannot wait for Part 2.

    An absolutely phenomenal game. There's a few idiots here who don't even know what a remake is supposed to be. Also, don't blame Nomura for everything, he didn't even write the game's story. But I'm getting sidetracked. Anyways I fully recommended this amazing game.

    Eu ia colocar um 9 por conta dos problemas de texturas que muitos já sabem, mas os capítulos finais são tão perfeitos que não consegui tirar um ponto, seria muito injusto.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A retelling of the original game, the graphics are beautiful and the entire game feels well thought out and put together. The musical score is phenomenal and as someone who grew up playing FF7 as a child, the game manages to tell a brand new story without losing the charm at its core.
    If purists want to play the original, then they should play the original. Spoilers ahead.

    This is not a remake. This is not a reboot. The story is a direct sequel overlaying itself on top of the originals timeline. The core concept has become about defying fate, and it's something that veterans of FF7 have been pondering for a long time. For example, since its original release over two decades ago, people have always wondered if Aerith was supposed to live. There's evidence in-game to suggest she should have, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake plays off of questions like this to tell a new story. It's a very ambitious beginning, and I'm eager to see what comes next.    … Expand

Das Kampfsystem macht mega Laune, kamera kommt manchmal nicht ganz hinterher, aber dennoch ist das kämpfen auch noch im lategame sehr anspruchsvoll. Grafik ist bombastisch, ab und zu sind die Hintergründe stark verpixelt, die Gesichtszüge sind aber sehr fotorealistisch.
    Alles in allem lohnenswerf, für Fans der Reihe aber auch Fans von RPG's die eher Fokus auf eine gut erzählte Story als 10000 Nebenquest, Loot und das übliche Open world-RPG vorziehen. Außer ein paar Schönheitsfehlern wirklich genial, auch für mehrere Durchläufe. Spielzeit 30 Std auf normal bis 60-70 Std für den hardmod.    … Expand

    Another one of those games that captures a moment in time. I love every minute playing this game. Except maybe for the long sidequests.. but i can deal with the lows, because the highs are incredible.

    I played it not having played the ps1 original and I loved the hell out of this game. I picked it up (curbside) from BestBuy and raced home to play it. It literally was not turned off until I put 55hrs in and beat it.

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

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

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