    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Music: 10/10 Boy oh boy, did they raise the stakes on this one. The scores have been remade into quite honestly a glorious cornucopia of nostalgia, emotion, and depth. Each major boss fight has it's own thematic take on the old OST, transitioning between phases seemingly flawlessly. Imagine 3 separate tracks being produced and recorded, and being able to overlap and transition seamlessly based on your phase progression. The old classics tug at the heartstrings, and the remade themes hype you up and make major encounters feel intense.

    Combat: 9/10 Here's where things diverge. The combat is a fresh take on Active + ATB. The old Materia strategies and setups are still available and will have you altering your slots constantly, especially for Hard Mode. Each character has their own unique combat style and capabilities, but you can honestly setup each character however you want to with the new weapon upgrade system. (somewhat tedious, but adding a bit of depth to stats that can be tailored towards your playstyle) Most players might not understand the true depth and capabilities until they start actively messing with most of the at first seemingly less useful Materia and character swapping actions for ATB growth. I feel like they gave us the best of both worlds with Hack n' Slash + ATB that both new and old fans can appreciate.

    Gameplay: 7/10 This isn't tied to combat, it's the overall gameplay. This game is linear. It's meant to be a heavily story focused segment of the main game, setting up for what the future may bring. That said, there is inevitable padding (Sewers #2). 3 Chapters involve sidequests in which, if you decide to do them, will lengthen the chapter playtime two-three-fold. HOWEVER, if you don't WANT to do the sidequests, you don't have to. Miss some pretty strong materia/items? Sure, but nothing you can't necessarily live without. You can run an entire first playthrough with only main story if you want, then if you are feeling up to it you can go back in chapter select and replay those chapters for the sidequests and story changes that completing them brings. Your choices matter in a couple of main story scenarios, but mainly only change cutscenes; albeit gloriously at some moments. The game is sprinkled with some of the old minigames, and some new ones to boot, but none will keep you seated there once you have obtained your desired result/trophy.

    Story: This is the controversial topic among ALL players who have played through the game. That said, I'm giving this an 8/10. I'd even go so far as to give it a 9/10 up to a point. Bear with me. The added backstories are a nice touch, generally fleshing out all of the main characters in delightful and even thoughtful ways. Who knew Biggs and Wedge were orphans? That Biggs even lived in and apparently even helped out with an Orphanage in the sector 5 Slums? That Wedge is such a Cat fanatic? That Jessie could POSSIBLY be even more thirsty? The story moments will bring a tear to the eye of any loyal OG Fan, the voice acting for the main cast is superb (Barret, you did it right), and the banter is goofy and amazing (you can see obvious relationship transitions in the banter throughout the game between the entire cast). The game has these insane highs, and when going through the main story moments there was hardly a time I was not grinning ear to ear over goofy content or nostalgia, or being absolutely wrecked emotionally. You get brought along on this rollercoaster of nostalgia and emotion, carried on the tracks (linearity) by the cast, and you're loving every damn second of it (minus the padding for some). They are doing absolutely everything right; Sector 7/Wall Market/Shinra HQ and all of the involved characters (and new ones) are expanded and more glorious than you remember... Then it happens. The ending. The rollercoaster reaches it's peak and falls from the greatest height, you are hyped. You are ready. And then you just ride on a flat and straight road. What is this? Not what you expected? It wasn't what I expected either. At first, I even hated it. 5/10 random thrown in material, even. Ruins the story, right? What changed my mind? Thought. Square didn't change anything about the overall main story so far, they bring you through this amazing game to this, what could ultimately RUIN the game and the next installments for everyone. There aren't enough characters available for me to give my overall view, but I will say this: IRONICALLY, I trust that SE did not bring us through a 9 or 10/10 story to completely ruin it by the end. I believe there is a plan. If you pay attention throughout the extra story bits, there are hints at greater possibility. Can certain characters survive where they are meant to die? Is everything uncertain? I don't think so. I believe the games will play out the same as the OG for the most part. Only time will tell, but keep your mind open to the ending and what it portrays for the future, and you may be as hyped as me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minor spoilers. Best gaming experience in a long time. Many of the elements from the original game were drawn out for one reason or another. What I loved was getting to know members of Avalanche better and seeing more of the behind the scenes at Shinra. You could tell that SquareEnix had been laying the groundwork for Remake for more than 15 years, and I feel it's payed off.
    This is definitely a part one. My first time through took me about 40 hours to complete on the easier setting. Going to try the other difficulties and keep working on new strategies and work on completion to get all of the materia and gear I missed the first time around.
    If you liked the original, you should definitely try this game. I bought a digital copy because I could find a physical copy that wasn't being sold way above market value (Which is sad because this game is so good.) Because of this I'm going to be buying more digital copies for my library.    … Expand

    Thought it was a great game, but i understand the POV of those who were expecting something relatively close to the original story along with our miscellaneous complaints. However, FF7 isn't really my favorite Final Fantasy but it was still very good and I'm excited to see what the remake brings.

    It has his strengths and weaknesses, but overall is a great and gorgeous experience with no lack of emotion in wich the mayor fault is not been the whole story we know.

The action is great, love the visuals and fantastic to play with the familiar crew again. To be honest, I was worried most about the ending. Having seen people hate the game for it. Not 100% sure yet, but I do believe that it actually makes sense that they take a slightly different direction. Although I loved the mystery surrounding Sephiroth in the original, I still feel the journey ahead in the next games should offer the potential for a great story to unfold. Let’s hope they don’t disappoint. I have good hopes!… Expand

    I think square did an amazing job bringing not only the nostalgia along with the newest things like side quests that envolves cloud and helps to really know characters like Jessie's amazing role and background. The music... What to say.. Square nailed it! Great songs a little different but still carries ff7 og soul.
    The grafics they're really looking good, character detail gorgeous, and I'm playing in a non pro ps4.
    Só let's get to the point that I "personally" didn't appreciate, and a Spoiler too.
    I think square has a plan with this game story but the way that ends, like challenging fate etc,that could be a problem in the next games, because they have shown a lot of characters that should have been dead but now they're alive in another time-line.
    And that's another let down for me, why complicate a simple linear story with future time-lines and vilains from the future.. It's a mess.
    So in the end this is not a remake but a re-write or a sequel to the original story.
    Still,thank you square and congratulations on the amazing game that you put out.    … Expand

Ogni tanto si sente che determinate sezioni di gioco siano state allungate parecchio rispetto all'originale, ma non risulta essere un difetto considerando che il titolo (venduto a prezzo pieno) deve presentare tutte le caratteristiche di un gioco completo di circa 30/40 ore di gioco. La struttura di gioco resta comunque molto lineare, ma non per questo mancano le chicche opzionali, squisitamente JRPG.
    I numerosi personaggi hanno avuto molto più spazio che nell'originale per ps1. I membri dell'Avalanche per esempio sono resi molto più "umani" e in generale l'estetica di gioco ha permesso che le emozioni dei vari personaggi venissero fuori in modo naturale e toccante.
    Il game play farà sicuramente scuola nello saturo panorama JRPG che raramente ha potuto vantare un ibrido tanto interessante. Si può adottare un approccio prettamente action ma la difficoltà (nella media rispetto agli standard) spinge ad utilizzare le pause tattiche per adottare strategie più complesse che rendono soddisfacente i scontri più concitati (che sono molti). Rispetto al quindicesimo capitolo della saga, qui il game over è molto più temibile se non si studia con attenzione il proprio equipaggiamento, soprattutto le materia. Le armi offrono approcci diversi allo scontro e possono essere customizzate in base alle proprie preferenze. In generale il gameplay è uno dei punti di forza del titolo, che mostra il meglio di sé nelle numerose bossfight. Durante tutto il gioco non sarà possibile utilizzare un party di più 3 personaggi giocabili, anche quando tutti i personaggi saranno nello stesso posto. Di questo problema ne risente soprattutto Red Xiii, che fungerà da personaggio di supporto non giocabile, sembrando inconsistente rispetto agli altri membri del party, anche dal punto di vista narrativo.
    Il comparto audio visivo è di grande qualità, soprattutto la gestione delle luci, dei dettagli ambientali e degli NPC, che rendono vivi i luoghi esplorati, nonostante certe volte sembrino un po' anonimi nel character design.
    Alcuni sfondi risultano sfocati e stonano parecchio con la minuzia con cui è curata l'ambientazione; inoltre a causa di alcuni bug, certi poligoni presentano texture non caricate che fanno storcere parecchio il naso, pur non influenzando troppo l'esperienza di gioco.
    La soundtrack del grandissimo Nobu Uematsu è una delle migliori che abbia mai ascoltato. Presenta una carrellata di brani che possono essere distinti in perfetti riarrangiamenti di musiche originali e nuove interessanti produzioni, come la bellissima "Hollow".
    Un difetto degno di nota riguarda la gestione della narrativa e delle bossfight nella parte finale di gioco. Nel tentativo di sorprendere i giocatori e "giustificare" il carattere stand alone di questi primo episodio, sono state apportate delle modifiche sul finale che, per quanto interessanti come forma di meta narrativa, hanno anticipato certe bossfight (o comunque l'impatto che ne sarebbe derivato) in modo non necessario, tradendo una certa paura nel non riuscire a completare i prossimi episodi. In breve sembra che Nomura abbia messo le mani avanti lasciando intendere che se non fossero riusciti finire il progetto ff7 Remake, almeno avrebbero lasciato un primo capitolo che a livello di bossfight avrebbe "chiuso il cerchio".
    Nel complesso il gioco rimane un piccolo capolavoro che se manterrà questo standard qualitativo per i prossimi episodi, potrà dare nuova vita alla saga di Final Fantasy. 8,75/10    … 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.
