    I really love this remake... There a lot of things to do, is great how they added new thing to the main story, I think the only thing I thing disagree about it is not controlling one character that appears in the late game... But despite of that it's a wonderful game

    Looks pretty, but that's about it. The gameplay simply isnt fun and its packed with garbage filler to stretch the game into multiple releases because money. A proper ff7 remake should have been an easy home run, but by either greed or incompetence we got this.

    Only part of the game. The other part will be exclusive for PlayStation 5. I’m not wasting my money on that trash when a gaming pc is simply better. If you release half a game on a console, release the other half. I don’t care about performance, I feel cheated af right now and won’t bother unless I can find a way to scam it on a pc. Not paying a cent more.

    The story may alienate both new and veteran fans of FFVII due to it's complexity, straying from the original story. However the gameplay feels great and the graphics are next level even on a PS4 Slim.

    As for the actual gameplay, the entire game is basically a really long corridor with some very simple environmental puzzles or side-activities.

    Combat is functional and has some variety and strategy to it, but it is very much style over substance, and dramatically overstays its welcome. It basically plays like a much worse version of Kingdom Hearts which decided to have the animations look cooler at the cost of not feeling nearly as good to control.

    The art & audio is fantastic though, as you'd expect, but frankly I see those as force-multipliers of the gameplay & story, and with gameplay this weak, and story this dragged out it just isn't enough to amount to more than "good". And frankly there are lots of great and amazing games out there, so I'd suggest playing those instead.

    In summary:

    I'd honestly suggest you just watch a lets' player play it instead. The story is too padded out, and there are many much better games if you want roughly its style of combat.    … Expand

That coupled with sometimes a little too many enemy encounters throughout the many labyrinths culminate into some repetitiveness.

    Jugabilidad
    - En el apartado jugable nos encontramos un juego con luces y sombras. Cuando manejamos a cualquiera de los personajes, especialmente a Cloud Strife que es el personaje principal, podemos acostumbrarnos muy rápido a ir corriendo a todas partes, el problema es cuando el juego te obliga literalmente a ir andando en lugares donde nop debería, dando una sensación de pérdida de control que se repite muy a menudo. Otra de esas sombras en el juego son aquellos momentos donde la cámara se mueve a placer. ya sea por algún punto de control donde quieren mostrarte algo, o el camino a seguir, que está muy bien, pero no cuando te arrebatan el control de la cámara por largo tiempo para mostrarte un lugar o edificio que se ve en 2 segundos y no necesitas 30. En cualquier caso, el juego en el apartado jugable está bastante pulido y por lo general se siente dinámico y fluido.
    Gráficos
    En el apartado gráfico sin duda nos encontramos ante un portento. Por lo general las texturas son de alta resolución, están bien implementadas y es un gustado observar detalle. Pero también tiene sombras, apartados poco trabajados que son fácilmente reconocibles ya que se recogen en 2 supuestos. Cada vez que miramos desde las barriadas a la plataforma sobre nosotros, observamos texturas de poca calidad, borrosas. Cada vez que miramos desde la plataforma al suelo a las barriadas, Nos ponen una especie de collage de edificios sin perspectiva, completamente plano que te sacan un poco de la historia y la última son las lejanías que tenemos el mismo problema 0 detalle. Digamos en en distancias cortas y dentro del mundo pasillo creado para que recorramos gráficamente es alucinante, más allá, todo elemento visible por el jugador da pena verlo.
    Música
    No me considero muy fan de la música de los Final Fantasy porque en numerosas ocasiones me parece que no pega la música con la acción que estamos viviendo. Entiendo su significado en FF de los años 90, a si que lo voy a entender en este remake y en el contexto de los Final Fantasy, entiendo que está bien aunque no me enamore.
    Historia
    - La historia me ha gustado bastante, sigue la tónica de cualquier FF, una lucha contra un mal superior y los héroes que emprenden dicha lucha. Los personajes me han parecido muy carismáticos y no resulta difícil empatizar con ellos. Los enemigos se vislumbran rápido y quedan envueltos por ese aroma a villano clásico que siempre me ha gustando.
    Duración
    - El juego, directo y sin hacer misiones secundarias unas 23 horas. Por lo que entreteniéndote un poco con él y haciendo algunas de las misiones que te proponen sube rápidamente a 30 horas. Creo que es preferible un juego disfrutable en 30 horas a uno de 100 horas. Yo no estoy en contra de que hayan decidido fraccionarlo siempre y cuando sea una causa justificada y en este caso me ha parecido un juego completo estas 23 - 30 horas jugadas.

    Taducción
    En el apartado del doblaje nos encontramos el mayor punto negro. En primer lugar no tiene doblaje al castellano que por supuesto ya por sí mismo es un punto negativo. Nos encontramos ante una copia en inglés. Almenos en inglés las voces están muy bien acompañadas y siguen ese aspecto jovial del juego, pero los subtítulos en castellano son una auténtica pesadilla. No dan una, se inventan las cosas respecto a la versión en inglés. Te de adelantan otras que no están diciendo los personajes. Omiten información, otra directamente la endulzan para que sea menos duro sin entender el motivo real. En definitiva un auténtico desastre. Es una indignación estar escuchando a los personajes en inglés y ver que los subtítulos no corresponden en absoluto a lo que están diciendo. No entiendo como pueden traducir un juego en modo "traducción libre" es incomprensible, ¿Os imagináis una película o serie donde los subtítulos siguen una pista a la película o serie original pero sin decir lo mismo? Creedme que es frustrante.    … Expand

Throughout the game you become the feeling that many parts of the original game got stretched only for the sake of adding gameplay hours. Some dungeons are definitely tedious and many aspects of the original story were changed. Personally I didnt like these changes. But still the quality of the production is so good that you will still keep playing without losing interest. Is it the remake I expected? No. Is it a masterpiece like the original ff7? No.

    The Good
    This game has a pretty good presentation, introducing you to a series of endearing and lovable characters throughout the story, the cinematics after each character are pretty rewarding, and the visuals are stunning.

    The sidequests have a good background, getting you involved to solving them, also there are hidden rewarding cutscenes after complete all the sidequests of a region.

    The battle system is dynamic and fun, a good deal between an action game and turn base strategy game, also appropriate level of option to level up your gear and personalize your weapons via materias.

    The Bad
    The journey feels interrupted in some areas were you will be able to complete some sidequests, the main problem is that these sidequest are attached to story characters, then you can't save then for later, if you want to have the optional content you will have to complete these right away, in some moments this could ends up felling like homework instead cool optional content.

    The normal difficulty (the max difficulty for a first play) could feels a bit easy, making it possible to beat the game without pay attention to the enemies weaknesses or even leveling up your gear.    … Expand

    The game is graphically excellent.
    The voice acting is great (for the most part).
    That's all we wanted.

    Sadly, they decided to mess with the story.
    A story that had a constant sense of urgency.
    Now; we have side quests that make the sense of urgency evaporate in the blink of an eye.
    Sephiroth is introduced ludicrously early.
    And what the hell is with all the ghosts in capes?

    WHAT THE HELL?!?!

    In one scene they're terrifying Sector 7, with you beating the sh*t out of them as they attack you for seemingly no reason, and the next time you see them they're helping you?!?! What the f*ck is that for poor consistency? After the first major encounter with them, it was if the incident never happened!

    Barretttttt: "These ghost things are bad!"
    Cloud: "Ugh. Yeah. Ugh."

    And that's it! It's as if the ghost terrorizing Sector 7 never happened.
    They're completely forgotten about!
    Didn't happen!?

    As for Cloud:
    Someone: "hahaha funny joke"
    Cloud: "Ugh!"

    Every God damn five minutes!
    It's like reading a typical Reddit thread; nauseating, repetitive, and cringe.

    Like I said, the game is graphically brilliant, voice acting is done well (with the exception of Cloud's script work, which should be shoved up Nomura's a**) but they messed with the story by diluting it down and padding it with content that.. frankly... makes me wish I was glad I pirated the game.

    I stopped playing it at Aeris' house.
    I've uninstalled it.
    Glad I didn't buy it.
    Glad I pirated it.
    It's that bad.

    I can't tell you how many times I've played the original version.
    More than 40+ play throughs in 20+ years?

    I've bought/owned it on the PS1, PC, iFad, PS4, back to PC with Steam...
    I've bought this timeless classic multiple times on different platforms.

    F*ck you, Nomura, you ruined this one great opportunity with Reddit-Tier Padded Cringe.

    The remake is a padded out disappointment.

    They would have been better off leaving the original story alone.

    I'm reinstalling the original version, via Steam, as I type this. I prefer it.    … Expand

    A new entry into the FF7 compilation, instead of a remake of the original FF7 instead its a remake of the story one where it tells of a new story of the FF7 cast. The combat is amazing and the story bring in a new set of excitement for me as a fan of FF7 compilation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bloated mess of a game. Outside the music and fantastic visuals, the only thing good about this game is the combat system, but that's only at the start. After a while, you realize that it's all spectacle and no substance, which is Nomura's specialty.

    All they had to do was follow the original game and expand a bit here and there, but instead they decided to cram the game with useless filler so they can justify slicing it up and selling it in parts for $60 - $100 a pop. And don't even get me started on the corrupt decision to lock the DLC to the PS5 only. Sucks to suck for the people who got this game on the PS4.

    The story is such a mess I don't even know where to begin. First off, the reveal that Sephiroth was the one Cloud was seeing in those brief black outs, is not only wrong, but completely ruins Sephiroth's reveal later on. In the original, Sephiroth's reveal was masterfully done. Walking through the hallways of the Shrina building, seeing the trail of blood as you came across mutilated corpses of enemies you were just struggling to fight and then finding the body of the Shinra president. It made you terrified of Sephiroth. This time, they show him right off the bat and ruin any sort of build up to the fact that he's alive. Yes, the original came out 30 years ago and everyone knows that Sephiroth is alive, but that doesn't excuse poor story telling. If A New Hope was remade and they added a bunch of scenes where Vader was taunting Luke through the Force and told him right away he's Luke's father, it would be seen as a massive misstep and downright insulting. Everyone knows that Vader is Luke's father, but that doesn't make the reveal in Empire any less impactful all these years later. Changing the Sephiroth reveal shows that they have no idea how to tell a story, but I should have expected that with Nomura at the helm of this project.

    The entire idea that Cloud and Sephiroth are fate-crossed enemies is a bunch of bull crap, as well. Go play the original. Sephiroth barely even notices Clouds existence other than seeing him as a useful pawn. Them being fated enemies never even comes into play. At most, Cloud hates Sephiroth and wants to kill him.

    And to top it all off, the in-game representation of fans of the original game, the ones that have been pleading for a remake for 20+ years are the final villain of part 1. The arbiters of fate or whatever they were called are trying to have this new game follow the story beats of the original and they have you kill them off. They have you kill off the in-game representation of the people who wanted the game to be true to the original. How is that not seen as a massive insult? It's a spit in the face to people who asked for a remake for years and then got this hot mess.

    TLDR: This game sucked and Nomura is an idiot.    … Expand

Wie soll ein zweiter Teil da noch weiter machen können? Zudem - die Idee mit der Meta Ebene des Schicksals ist brilliant, aber hätte man diese nicht subtiler ins Spiel fügen können? Warum gleich im ersten Teil alles teasen und die Karten so offen auf den Tisch legen? Wir werden sehn wie Square Enix den Löwen wieder in den Käfig kriegen will in einer Fortsetzung.

    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?
