    SQUARE had finally achieved to figure the battle system for the new era of FF by advancing the ATB with the ARPG elements.

    The rearranged game music and new-get graphic are awesome as always. Just wonder how the story will be developed in next installation of the Remake    … Expand

    I fell in love with the Final Fantasy series with FFVI and the original FFVII was my favourite of them all. The remake expanded on the story and made for some fantastic nostalgia, thank you Square.

    Super Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64 is such a good game the music is great the controls are solid but it does feel a little bit wonky and bosses are fun there not to hard or not to easy. It would always be a iconic piece of art and it does have a place in my heart.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is amazing. All the low review scores are people who don’t understand what this game was meant to be. It was never going to be a shot-for-shot remake and while the padding sometimes is a little much I really enjoyed it because it allowed me to spend more time with these characters and really fall in love with this world. Yes the ending was changed but that leads back into the name of the next part, Rebirth, implying that the game won’t stay the same because of the ending. Now that fate isn’t running the show anymore the game is free to change, and I feel that fact makes it worth 60 dollars every couple years, since it’s this long and it’s a new experience. 10/10 can’t wait to play again. also just thinking about some of the scenes in this game literally causes me to cry, or become irrationally happy, so if that helps to sell you on the game, please just buy it. to me, despite the few flaws, its my favorite.… Expand

    I never played the original game but I absolutely adored this remake. The characters for me are some of the best. The chemistry between Aerith, Tifa and Cloud is like none other and along with Barret's quick wit create one of the best experiences i have had with a game. The story is incredible the game play is fun and I cannot wait for part 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Remake of perhaps my most beloved game that really accomplished what I believe it set out to do and I am very exceded to see where Square goes with this. Though it is more of a sequel reboot than a remake, I actually prefer it that way. Myself, and I feel a lot of other people, have wished they could forget about a game so they could experience it for the very first time all over again, and the remake trilogy will be the closest we ff7 fans will get to that operatunity (aside from anyone who might get amnesia). I heard a conspiracy theory before that the entire original game of ff7 was a vision in Aerith’s head; the fact that we see her face in the beginning and at the end could be used as evidence for this, but that seems a little weak. Though the remake seems to indicate that that could be true!
    The only real criticisms I have with this game is that the expanded content wasn’t entirely perfect. The only chapter I felt to have been kind of unnecessary and drawn out was the revisit to the sewers in chapter 14 (it would have actually made a good side quest tho). It also would have been good if there were some side quests on top of the plate where I would like to have spent more time. A lot of the side quests they did have were a little tedious, but a few were a really nice touch and I also think the side content will likely be better in part two, as that game will probably cover more of the story and be able to more easily fit in new stuff due to the new timeline. I also didn't like it when the characters only survived because of fate, but fate is dead now, so that will be fixed in part 2 as well.
    Ultimately, I cannot say I disliked or felt bored during any part of the game. I loved this game and everything else from the music, to the battle system, to the characters, to 95% of the story was perfect. Let's just hope they don't screw it up in part 2, but I've loved what they've done so far so I put my faith in them, for now anyway.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O Final Fantasy VII Remake é uma verdadeira obra-prima que ultrapassa todas as expectativas. Este jogo magnífico conseguiu capturar a essência do clássico original e elevá-la a novos patamares de excelência. Com gráficos deslumbrantes, uma trilha sonora espetacular e uma jogabilidade aprimorada, ele traz à vida o mundo cativante de Midgar de uma forma que nos deixa maravilhados.

    Uma das maiores conquistas do Final Fantasy VII Remake é o cuidado e o amor pelos detalhes que transparecem em cada cena e cada interação. Os personagens são retratados de forma vibrante e emotiva, com expressões faciais e movimentos que revelam sua personalidade e profundidade. Cada local, desde as ruas movimentadas até os ambientes mais sombrios, é ricamente detalhado, imergindo o jogador em um mundo rico e envolvente.

    A narrativa do jogo é uma verdadeira obra de arte, com uma história complexa e envolvente que nos leva por reviravoltas emocionantes e momentos de pura emoção. Os diálogos são bem escritos e os personagens têm suas motivações e arcos cuidadosamente desenvolvidos. A maneira como o jogo combina momentos intensos de ação com momentos mais calmos de exploração e interação é perfeitamente equilibrada, mantendo a nossa atenção e nos deixando ansiosos para descobrir o que acontece a seguir.

    Além disso, a trilha sonora do Final Fantasy VII Remake é absolutamente fenomenal. Desde as músicas icônicas que todos conhecemos e amamos até as novas composições que se encaixam perfeitamente no clima do jogo, cada faixa é uma obra-prima musical que nos envolve ainda mais na experiência. No geral, o Final Fantasy VII Remake é uma homenagem incrível ao jogo original, trazendo uma nova vida e uma nova perspectiva para uma história amada por tantos fãs ao redor do mundo. É um exemplo brilhante de como um remake pode ser feito com maestria, respeitando suas raízes e, ao mesmo tempo, oferecendo uma experiência fresca e emocionante. Este jogo é verdadeiramente um tesouro e merece todo o reconhecimento e elogios que recebe.    … Expand

    Pure magic is how I would describe this game. As a huge fan of the Og Ff7 I had a fantastic time with this. Its a shot right to my heart. My only regret is the wait time for Rebirth.

    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?
