    Final Fantasy Remake oscilates between good and great, overall.

    STRONG POINTS:
    - Story. Also, its funny (i had some laughs) and exciting;
    - Battle system. It's really creative, i loved it because they mixed turn based rpg and action rpg greatly. Also, it's fun;
    - Graphics (considering they will patch to polish it, probably);

    WEAK POINTS:
    - Exploration is a lot linear. Walking between slums constantly feels like you are in a corridor;
    - Different slums feels like the same (they're kinda "cities");
    - Square Enix does not fully exploit the potential to explore new places. We could have the option to explore and know rich cities above the slums, but we barely touch these places. That was frustrating.
    - The IN GAME NPC walking animation is bad. It's a lot superficial, both in moviments and behavior. About behavior, for instance, it's common see NPC partners start running at the same time and, also, stop running at the same time when they're too distant from the player. Feels totally unnatural and robotic some times;
    - Side quests could've been a lot better and more meaningful, but they're kinda good enough i guess.
    - I feel like the extra content is small and that there isn't really nothing EPIC to conquer or to discover.

    NEUTRAL POINTS:
    - This is controversial: the game's ending. I think the game's ending is intriguing. But, if it is good or bad, it depends on how Square Enix will lead the next games.    … Expand

Los personajes de antaño cobran vida y son increíblemente emotivos y humanos. El respeto por el original se percibe en incontables detalles. El sistema de combate es adictivo y espectacular, además de ser un reto muy gratificante derrotar a los jefes en Difícil. Las referencias a los propios jugadores nostálgicos son magistrales, lástima que algunos haters no se parasen a pensar en ellas.

    Cierto que algunas zonas son de relleno, como en el reactor 5, el cementerio de trenes y el laboratorio de Hojo y que el final cambia demasiado el tono del resto del juego para volverlo demasiado épico sin necesidad, ya lo era originalmente. Pero son detalles menores de un juegazo que además tiene una duración muy ajustada. Lejos de ser como los pagados de la industria afirmaron, los escenarios no son tan pasilleros como te esperas (es un efecto del mapa, que te ayuda a orientarte, pero nada que ver con FFXIII) y hay barrios amplios y con muchas cosas que hacer y gente con la que interactuar. Tiene muchos minijuegos, algunos divertidos, otros no tanto, la verdad.

    Sobresaliente también el apartado sonoro. Las voces son geniales, todos los diálogos están grabados, algo que no sé si muchos juegos de esta complejidad pueden argumentar, y la música es soberbia. La original era una de las mejores bandas sonoras de todos los tiempos y esta orquesta y da profundidad a muchos de aquellos temas volviéndolos aún más épicos, si cabe. A eso hay que añadirle que la música es dinámica y se adapta a lo que realmente sucede en pantalla. Impresionante Sobre el final, pues te gustará más o menos, a mí me gusta bastante, pero tiene dos cosas que me parece van a darle mucho reconocimiento a este juego en el futuro. Primero, no deja obsoleta la obra maestra que fue el original. Así que si no lo jugaste tendrás que hacerlo aunque te pases el Remake. Segundo, ahora no sabemos qué va a pasar. Podían haberse limitado a hacer fanservice y copiar todo del original. Era más fácil, pero eso hubiese hecho de la espera un simple "a ver cómo se ve esto con gráficos de última generación". Ahora, aunque todo apunta a que la historia discurrirá por donde iba la original, no podemos saberlo al 100%, así que es como jugar a FF VII por primera vez.

    Gracias Squareenix por devolverme las hermosas sensaciones de mi adolescencia dos décadas después.    … Expand

    This s*** is so padded, the characters have a conversation about everything in every step of the way. If you cut out half the pointless dialogue the usual 30+ hrs to finish this game would probably drop to < 20. Yes Tifa we know we need to hurry so stop having a 2 minute conversation about hurrying up and what could happen if we don't hurry every time we enter a new area.

    The combat in this game is great but the story can be hard to follow if you haven't played the original and crisis core. Too many fetch quests and filler moments hurt this game in the long run as well. Overall its a good game but nothing ground breaking.

    The game looks good. But it is not a Remake along the lines of RE2 remake which is the same story.


    They make stupid anime changes to this story which is a travesty given how good the original game was all they had to do was use that basis.

    The actual game is only 20 hours long if you don't do side quests. Very disappointing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The orginal is one of the best games I ever played. This game is way different in terms of story and gameplay. It still has the same classic feeling. So far I played 5 hours in the game where I am enjoying my time so far because the game really keeps you engaged and wanting for more. The bad part is the game is linear and not open world which this I really liked the most about the original. I wish the continue the game outside Midgar with the PS5 that offer better specs to make that dream come true for all Final Fantasy fans.… Expand

    I thought that ff7 1997 was good, and I could see why people loved it, but I preferred some later installments.
    In fact, the most memorable part of the game for me was the Midgar section, I always had fuzzy memories of what happens afterwards (except the end of disc 1 and the very very end).
    So, I guess it makes sense for the developers to focus on that part, although to me it felt like "we had no idea on how to translate the world map on a ps4".
    The end result both suffers and benefits from this, we all know is an incomplete story, but the remake offers a solid full game, well worth its price.
    Having said that, some areas of the game overstay their welcome and seemed to be stretched just for the sake of length.
    The highlight of the game for me was everything happening in wall market, where all the gameplay mechanics are used well and in ways I was not expecting.
    A great plus in this game is the combat system, long are the days of "press button to win": here there is a complex system of balancing equipment with skills and coordination with the party members.
    I actually died in this game a few times: boss fights were challenging but not frustrating, and showed how having the right Materia could make the difference between life or death.
    Replay value will be determined by how much people are invested in playing this game again, once they know the story.
    Speaking of story, I still have no idea what happened in the last section of the game, so I will pretend it never happened until we see the Part 2 sometime in 2120.    … Expand

    It is immensely disappointing what Square Enix had done with this installment. As a huge fan of the franchise, I've always liked their games, even the least appreciated games like Dirge of Cerberus. But this is simply unacceptable as it shows how greedy the company had become.

    If it hadnt FF7 writtten on it, I cant imagine ppl giving it so high reviews. Nostalgia fueled cashgrab with nice graphic, below average combat, poor design choices, corridor maps, stupid fetch/kill quests and incoherent story.

    I am really sad how this game turned out. But Square shows they have issues with making a good rpg lately, with only FF XIV as an exception.

    Lets start with positives though.

    The game is gorgeus. It really puts PS4 pro at its limits, some locations are amazing and it doesnt run THAT bad (some places you do notice frame drops, but thats to be expected on a console).

    The rest:

    Combat. It has lot of promise, but Square fails to execute well. Your biggest enemy in the game is... the camera. Either you will randomly switch between targets when trying to move the camera, or the enemy will fly high so you cant see him even tho you are locked onto him...

    You can use magic.... like couple times in a fight. Because you have sooo low mp, that in Boss fights you will spend like half the time renewing your mana. Just so you can then get interrupted by an attack you didnt see coming. Mana cost of more advanced spells is just waaaay to high for magic to be viable in boss fights, even tho in lot of them its the only way to stagger the boss (which is needed to inflict decent dmg). So you will run around, evading attacks or blocking them, praying for the atb gauge to fill so you can use ether to replenish mp, so you can wait another eternity for another atb gauge to fill to use a spell. Amazing gameplay for 2020, again.

    Enemy usually just targets whatever character you are controlling. No logic behind that, seems like a simple IF statement.

    AI is plain retarded. Party members you dont control have no sense of where they are, where you are, they will often come right to you, so you can all get some nice aoe damage, they dont use any skills on their own (unless you slot them with materia to do so). There is no setting anywhere that would let me at least tell the game "I wanna play offensively!" or otherwise.

    Game has no intention of telling you if you are in range or not. So maybe you think your attack is gonna hit the enemy, but you will just plainly miss him, bcs enemy is flying 1m above the ground and the game believes you cant reach him. Some attack skill's animations are so long that the enemy will easily reposition themselves, or they will cast some protection spell before you land the attack.

    The game tries you to use the block system or dodges, but game engine is not made for this and thus you cant cancel your animations/attacks, so if you think your reflexes can help you... they cant. If the game sees you doing something and in the meantime enemy attacks, it doesnt matter how quickly you dodge/block, the game will just wait for you animation to finish and let the attack hit you. Square wants late FF games to be more action packed, when their engine is clearly not made for this.

    Which leads to another point - the minigames. They are so annoying. Those mobile 'olympic games' are 1000 times more fun then FF7R minigames and puzzles. Oh how much fun it is to move containers with super lazy robot hands with wonky controls. Everything takes forever, controls in feel super unresponsive, and all in all its more of an annoyance than fun. Oh and if you think you can solve some puzzles your way - you cant. There is always just one right way to do it.

    Game design overall - you play as an ex-SOLDIER, with superhuman abilities, you fight guys while riding a motorcycle with sword... but you cant climb 150cm obstacle. Bcs the game doesnt want you to, unless you do it exactly specific way (getting the first materia in tunnels on your way to sector 5).

    Quests - stupid, uninteresting. Simple go there, fetch this, kill that. Thats it. Yes, in 2020, this is what Square thinks is fun. The people giving you these quests are without personality, without anything that would make you wanna help them, other than that its a quest. After playing some other games where some side quests are on-par or better with main scenario, are original, have story (yes, looking at you, Witcher 3), Square gives you garbage.

    Story - Im far behind half of the game, and if I didnt know original FF7 story, I would be lost. Villains appear randomly, with no explanation for their motives. They just pop in, at completely random times. You play as a eco terorist responsible for deaths of innocent people, and you are fine with it (sure, not entirely your fault), Jessie says she is sad about it in about two sentences, and thats it. You see the unrest in the streets, ppl talking about losing their loved ones... so what do you do? You blow one more, ofc! Again, game not bothering with things like guilt, the fact you play as a terrorist, killing innocents... no one cares.

    It had so much potential. Square botched it    … Expand

    This remake is a game I really want to love. The original is my favourite game ever and for the first few hours, my mind was definitely blown. Even on the base PS4 the visuals are very nice, although it's not the bestlooking game on PS4, it's pretty close. and I really enjoyed the first 10 hours or so.

    It's not a bad game by any means, but there's something about it that just makes it fall short of loving it. It might be that there's too much filler or that it's a bit too linear for my liking, or that there's hidden loading screens (elevators/narrow passage ways) everywhere. I really don't know. The dialogue is a bit stilted and not well aligned, that doesn't help either.

    The storychanges are pretty decent so far and I enjoy it when I play it, but there's nothing that makes me want to jump in and finish it, except wanting to know the ending.

    The 40 hours flew by. The story was a great trip down memory lane with more depth. The combat has been spiced up to have a little more action and the graphics have been ever so slightly improved.

    There's not much of a sense of exploration but I'm okay with that. Instead, my biggest concern with this game is that Square Enix is going to milk this series long past when it should end.

These mini games are not welcome or wanted in video games and greatly effect people with disabilities, depression. The dancing mini game is also terrible cause you can't always make out which button needs pressing and when due to the gui being blocked. I would say my opinion on the game was greatly diminished by garbage mini games that don't respect the player or people with disabilities and as such i wouldn't recommend this to anyone with disabilities such as autism, dyslexia or dyspraxia or Dyscalculia or anyone with depression and Anxiety issues who like to complete things to 100% also the game jokes about training and other crap where its just demeaning to obese people with medical issues. Kind of wish that Jessie survived too as she is unfortunately more likeable than Tifa who's eye colour just seems off to me. (Box whacking was fine, bike was fine but better in other recent games (astral chain), Darts was annoying another trash mini game surely a solider would be able to aim for any period of time and be able to throw the dart pretty much where he wants.) Main combat good but not having any option of having mastered material become a part of your character permanently is just bad design as it forces you to only use certain material. Collecting music is fine and doing the battle tasks for new summons etc is fine. The problem is if a mini game is harder to do than a final boss it means your game will be remembered for the trash and difficult mini game rather than the final boss of the game and it will certainly influence my purchase choices with square enix for a long time just like king of jump rope did in FF9. Minus 3 points for difficult , demeaning mini games that have no respect for disabled, depressed and medically fat gamers.… Expand

But more than 20 years have passed and while other franchises have invented engaging open world FF7R is still stuck to a super linear gameplay system. Also FF had decades and more than 15 titles to come up with a decent battle system but what is this hybrid monstrosity of a combat system that is tagged on to FF7R?

    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?
