    It's exciting to see the rebirth of an old game that has been loved for many years. The new FF7 is really great! Unparalleled picture quality and exquisite motion capture.
    More importantly, Square's battle system has accumulated many years of experience. ATB's combat system has evolved with multiple generations of Final Fantasy series, and it shines in FF7REMAKE. It's so cool to play Hard Mode!

    About bloody time :)
    Genuinely epic, awesome gameplay (which wasn't why I even bought this game), and a brilliant story.

This game feels both extremely near and familiar while still feeling completely new and unexpected the music score is on point and makes the player feel so engage with the world. With that, the negative was the pacing toward the later half of the game felt like the build-up it was winding up was leading toward the end in a lot of scenarios so made the game hard to grasp when it was going to wrap up but I guess might not be a con for some to keep that element a surprise. The game great attention to detail and placement incited my curiosity to explore and actually want to do side quest and tedious errands.… Expand

    I didn't play the original FF7 and I really love this game (38 hours on normal mode). The graphics and soundtracks and top-notch. Battles are very very good and engaging. I love the mini games too. Towards the ending, the gaming experience is very worth the price of the game! You wouldn't go wrong with this game!

    This game brought me back into gaming after a 10 years break, previously, other games just did not grab me and I couldn’t get past the first few hrs . Battle system is a treat and only gets better on hard mode and it’s great to see FF7 characters in HD, looking forward to future releases.

    Really great game! Both nice story, awesome boss battles and all characters with their own personality. You can tell they put a lot of work into this and I cant wait for part two! And the animation! Soo cool and Beautiful, the skin has structure during cut scenes!! Defenetly worth the money. I bought it in the Playstation Store but I Kinda want to buy it again just to have the game in irl.

    Definetly the strongest remake i have ever played. Ff7 remake manages to overhaul an outstanding game, it eleminates the shortcomings of the older game with newest technic and graphic but keeping its Story, while enhancing it and modifying it if necessary.
    Whilst doing that, it never feels out of place or wrong. Modifications to the story feel just right. It surely still has tiny flaws.    Definetly the strongest remake i have ever played.

    This is like that meme: "I've only had Tifa, Aerith and Cloud for a day and a half. But if anything happened to them, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.". Way better than the original FFVII, one of my favourite games of all time, and that's a LOT.

The characters have been expanded upon a lot with the added diologue and top quality voice acting. the enemy variety is also superb and boss fights are just beyond brilliant.

    As for the story it's rather confusing. I personally like some of the additions they've made but at the same time the plot seems to be very different this time around after experiencing the ending. I guess it's been done to make the next parts more justifiable to buy.

    My only gripes with this game are the padding of areas made to extend your playtime and the sometimes lacklustre side quests. It's not enough to take the rating down however.    … Expand

    The story is beautiful, and it was treated with great care in this remake, the characters are impeccable, the soundtrack is surgical in all parts of the game and very well transitioned from one scenario to another, the graphic is to fill your eyes with water and the battle system is impossible to get sick. Platinumed in 4 days.

    I’m not a RPG fan but I might be after FF7 Remake. I played FF1 (NES) as a kid but grew bored of RPG’s and haven’t played one in 30 years.

    I didn’t know what to expect from FF7R and was overwhelmed at first.

    I didn’t know what to expect from FF7R and was overwhelmed at first. The fights were fast and seemingly complex - having to fight and watch the life gauge, ATB gauge and the boss’s animations to know when to block and attack.

    But it only took me about an hour or so to start feeling comfortable with the combat. After the first couple chapters it became like 2nd nature. I’m no longer overwhelmed and I love it more than the hack & slashes I’m more used to.

    I’m at the final chapter of the game and I’m beyond impressed. I started playing this game for my wife’s enjoyment, I was admittedly curious myself but felt it would be too cheesy for my liking. Now I’m very much attached to the characters and this game has been quite a journey. It’s constantly left me wowed with its visuals. The gameplay is fantastic and I can’t recommend this game enough. I haven’t seen the ending yet but I’m sure I’ll be patiently waiting for Part 2 once it’s all over. This game is quite an experience. Solid 10 out of 10.    … 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?
