    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.

    I'll start by saying I'm now 47 hours in and just started my second play through on hard mode, I deliberately wanted to finish the game before leaving a review. Next I'll say that the original FF7 was THE GAME for me that basically got me into gaming, I'll still say it is probably the best game ever made.

Next I'll say that the original FF7 was THE GAME for me that basically got me into gaming, I'll still say it is probably the best game ever made. Thus I had high expectations for the remake, and I was always worried about how this was going to be executed.

    In short, it's amazing. It's almost a masterpiece, but doesn't quite reach the heights of the original. And could it ever? No. And that is because it's only a tiny piece of the original. If they remade the FULL game with this level of quality then yes, it would be a masterpiece.

    The characters in the game are honestly brilliant, with Tifa by far being the best with exceptionally good voice acting. It's great to see an expansion on some of the peripheral characters such as Jessie. For the first time in a long time, I really cared about the characters in a video game.

    Graphically the game swings from amazing with brilliant characters models but then to the outright awful with poor textures in some of the environments. But overall I'd say this was a great looking game. The summons in the game look fantastic, with Shiva being the highlight for me.

    Music wise the game is amazing, the production here is second to none. That opening scene, wow, just wow. TURN IT UP! The music really adds to the atmosphere and for the most part plays testament to the original. There are a couple of missteps music wise, with wall market being my least favourite with cheesy techno pop.

    I love all of the little details the developers have put into this, such as Barret humming the tune that used to play at the end of each battle in the original. I laughed the first time he did it. On the topic of humour, there is some of that too. Cloud constantly belittles Barret in the first few hours of the game as their relationship develops, these scenes made me laugh too.

    Now onto the combat...wow...it is simply amazing. It is so dynamic, deep, and strategic. It takes a while to uncover its full potential but when you do and everything just clicks it’s a real joy to play. The only bad point about the combat is in literally one or two battles there can be just a little bit too much going on which I found personally overwhelming at times. The camera angle doesn’t help at times. But this is really infrequent and did not negatively impact my experience with the game.

    I'm really enjoying hard mode, I really like how it forces you to think much more strategically about your use of materia especially in light of how you cannot use items...ever. Playing through on hard mode is allowing me to further uncover aspects of the combat I never realised in my first playthrough.

    There are lots of reviews that mention filler. I would generally agree with this but at the same time I enjoyed the break from the pace of the story to learn how the combat works. But I think Square could have been more innovative with this admittedly. I didn’t think these were ‘bad’ parts of the game, they just weren’t on par with the quality of the rest of the game.

    There are so many good things about this game I find it hard to understand some of the insanely bad reviews some of the users are giving it...0? Really a 0?! You have to look at the overall general view, a Metacritic user score of 8 for a game that was always going to be VERY heavily scrutinised is extremely good.

    It's disappointing to see so many comments disappointed by the ending and some of the story changes (honestly it is not that drastic). At first I was somewhat confused by the ending but as I thought about it more it makes sense really - without giving too much away all Square are trying to do here is expand upon what COULD happen in the next few parts. It leaves you wondering where they are going to take this next and I personally enjoy the mystery. I’m glad it’s not going be scripted and predictable – because if you think about it where is the fun in that? I doubt very much they will deviate from the original story too much but I do expect some surprises along the way if the ending of the remake is anything to go by.

    Now all I can do is look forward to the next part and hope that it is as good as this.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy Remake oscilates between good and great, overall.

    STRONG POINTS:

    - 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

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.

    As a fan of the series since FF4, FF7 is tied with FF6 as my favorite. My expectations were set to mediocre / decent based on the recent entries as far back as FF13. I did not previously have faith in Tetsuya Nomura to do this remake justice as a director based on other titles he is associated with, especially the Kingdom Hearts series.

I did not previously have faith in Tetsuya Nomura to do this remake justice as a director based on other titles he is associated with, especially the Kingdom Hearts series.

    I'm happy to say that this game went far above and beyond anything I could have expected. At first I was not a fan of the 'plot ghosts' and have never enjoyed it when writers use destiny as an excuse for nonsensical plot points. Final Fantasy 7 Remake, however, gives the finger to destiny and is actually pretty mind blowing once you start to understand the finer points of the ending and hints you might notice on a second play-through. This game created a massive rabbit hole of theory and speculation among YouTubers such as Final Fantasy Peasant, Maximilian Dood, and Sleepezi, and I couldn't be more excited for the next installment. I now have a lot of confidence in Kitase, Nomura, and their team to give most of us fans an incredible experience that we've been craving.

    The flaws of a few low res textures and a little bit of padding are far outweighed by the deep and excellent combat system, great voice acting and cut scene direction, and soundtrack. The music was absolutely incredible with far more tracks than I've ever experienced in a game. Overall the experience was easily a 10/10 masterpiece for me.    … Expand

    A Square Enix deu um gostinho para os fãs com uma demo na época de PS3,e finalmente em 2015 na PlayStation Experience anunciou o Remake.
    O jogo original que era em batalha em turno, foi modernizado com o mesmo sistema visto em jogos como a série Kingdom Hearts e FF XV, em que você tem que ter muita calma antes de atacar e não por ser um Action RPG que não há estratégia. Os gráficos estão ainda mais superiores visto em FF XV de 2016, apesar de ter gráficos lindos há algumas partes do cenário do jogo que são mal renderizados, mas claro que uma patch possa concertar isso futuramente.
    Na questão da história, alguns pontos crucias da trama foram mudados por ser uma reimaginação do jogo original, assim como o Remake de Resident Evil, ele não será 100% fiel ao jogo original, mas isso é uma questão que depende muito do jogador se acha bom ou não.
    Uma escolha polêmica da Square Enix, foi decidido fazer FF VII em partes, similar ao jogo original por causa da limitação da época, a Square decidiu fazer isso para não cortar conteúdo. Mas não se engane que por causa disso o jogo será curto, em compensação a isso, há muitas horas de gameplay. E o jogo está no tamanho de um FF normal.
    Somando tudo, Final Fantasy VII Remake é um dos grandes jogos de 2020, e um forte candidato em algumas categorias no Game of Year de 2020, e um dos melhores RPGs já feitos pra essa geração.    … Expand

The first part of this remake of this beloved tale provides greater focus on the characters and their interactions, aswell as life within and below the technological metropolis of Midgar.

    Square Enix in addition to expanding upon the abundant lore and world of FF VII has masterfully crafted a combat system that blends aspects of their previous games into what can only be described as a perfect marriage of a turn-based and action centric fighting system. The chapter based scenes devided by linear and non-linear setpieces was a smart choice to really get a sense of Midgar and its massive scope

    Any fan of JRPG's or the steampunk realm of modern Final Fantasy can't go wrong with FF7R. While many have been critical of the brave new direction that Square Enix has taken the story. What they have already managed to accomplish has many fans cautiously optimistic for the second part of this monumental game that may end up redefining the JRPG genre more than 20 years since the original took the world by storm and left a legacy that few pieces of media have ever come close to matching.    … Expand

    With that out of the way, this game gave me all of the nostalgia I could ever want, a healthy dose of new lore and story revolving around side characters which lead to greater immersion in to the city of Midgar, and scenes with vistas that made the world seem immensely larger than the original.

    GAMEPLAY: It's easy to find your niche when it comes to fighting and this works for the entire game on Easy/Classic and Normal (to an extent). It's not until you play Hard mode that creative and tactical thinking is essential. Inviting intense challenge while avoiding beating you over the head with it is one spot where FF VII R truly shines. My only complaint was the lack of usefully enemy skills but not even enough to take off a full point. 9.5/10

    ATMOSPHERE: It took me so long to finish this game because I would find myself soaking in the striking scenery until I eventually forced myself to move on. The aftermath of the assault on Mako reactor 1, the Sector 7 Slums, the Shinra building exterior, and so much more left me in awe. 10/10

    CHARACTERS: It's FF VII vastly expanded. You delve into the relationships between members of Avalanche, something the original sadly did not include. 99% of the voice actors feel natural as their character although Square has always had problems with awkward NPC dialogue and random anime grunting but that's not something I can hold the VAs accountable for. Characters hold true to their original personalities but then they do happen to move beyond that, it's done very well, especially with Aerith. 9/10

    PLOT: This was the most divisive element of the game. Some people wanted a true retelling of FF VII (up to the end of Midgar) and not many fans were expecting a pretty severe divergence towards the end. After giving it some thought, I am fine with either way. I would have enjoyed the original story by now I am extremely excited (but also a little concerned) to see where we go from here. 8/10    … Expand

A wonderful synthesis of new and old that combines perfectly with both tactical elements from the original with mechanical elements that keep you moving. I had lost faith in JRPG combat systems of late that just seemed to have become a slog but this system is just right. Boss variety keeps things fresh and requires genuine thought at times instead of just mindless button mashing. The graphics are really flawless for the most part... how on earth are the characters somehow just as I imagined them to be when I was just looking at fan fiction and low polygon models before? That opening sequences... wow. Unfortunately there are exceptions to this with some low quality textures like the slums from above or the plates from below. I mean really, why wasn't there care put into them? One thing that I'm not sure is really a flaw but might not be for everyone is the cheesy acting. It kind of makes it hard to engage with the story at times, but then again, its quite possilbe that its just a faithful realisation of the text. However... it doesn't really come across well with voice acting. They could have toned it down a little. There is a certain amount of padding in the game but it isn't over the top and it tends to teach you something about the world in general. However, somehow it can feel a bit generic at times. Oh and I loved the mini-games :). They are silly but a nice distraction. All in all, top quality stuff. You can see the genius of the original game shine through in (almost) all its glory.… Expand

    I was sure I couldn't expect much from Square any more. I saw E3, and it was just okay to me until I played demo of FF7RE. The demo was great and it was sensational to me. I always buy package to keep it, but I was late. Therefore, I purchased DL version as exception.

    Overall, the game was not perfect. Very minor but agree with other players - Had famous texture bug with unreal engine 4. Not super excited side quests. Unfamiliar (Unfriendly?) story telling to new users.

    However, the game has much more PRO than CON - Crazy awesome sound tracks. Battle system was master piece. Stunning Characters. Big change of story lines. Great atmosphere and fan services. Multiple user selections.

    Characters: 10 / 10
    Very happy to see Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith with enhanced graphic. I could see their face expression! Which we couldn't see from original FF7! Also their character setting was perfect cut from compilation of Final Fantasy 7. They've fully understand their characters and they combined it very nicely.

    Story: 10 / 10
    This is one of the hardest choice to users and Square/Enix. If the story is same, user will complain about partial game sales. But clearly impossible to put all the original contents to one disc. Therefore, they called it as remake. Not remaster. This is very challenge to Square/Enix, and I think they did well as first step. Now we all don't know the future story. I really hope they don't ruin it.
    In addition, side Quest was off (except chapter 4) but much better than FF15! I was able to see the improvement. Small rewards from side quests were also worth it. And leave it as player's choices!

    Music: 10 / 10
    Best game music of all time. Great Boss battle musics. Great Jazz Juke box musics. Great character and atmosphere musics. Ending music was sensational. Very memoriable and unique.

    Game Play: 10 / 10
    Awesome cutscenes. Great balance between battle and adventure. Texture and full voices were matched very well. Didn't get bored at all since I couldn't stop watch beautiful game/characters.
    At the ending credit, I realized I was in final fantasy. Just like title.

    Battle System: 10 / 10
    Very unique style. It seemed like real-time battle like dark-soul, but it combined thoughtfully with turn based RPG (ATB system). Different pattern of BOSS fights and many enemies! I hope we have more VR missions!

    I got old and busy with work and family, so I lost my interest in video game. However, this game bring my game spirit back!
    I loved this game. I got my platinum trophy. I bought packaged version to keep it as well, and ready to play with PlayStation 5.

    At last, how hard to make sequel or remake? We've seen other movies, drama and games that how hard it is. We all know how bad it can be. However, FF7RE had great start. It can be better and has potential to be the greatest game of all time, just like original.    … Expand

    Was expecting a complete game and quite a disappointment to see we'll have to wait many years for the complete story. What's left is a very linear game, pretty much just a film with a few interactive sequences in between. Sadly the best part in the original FF7 is after Midgar but that's for another time.

    Loved the game, and loved how they've given us hope for future chapters.

    I know a lot of people dislike the fact that this isn't the full game, but this was a solid 50hours plus game for me. Looking forward to part 2 in the future

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is an extraordinary game: not only as a magnificent reinterpretation of a classic,

    Final Fantasy VII remake part one is out and if you are like me and never played one before where else is a better place to start right? For the first 10 hours I definitely agreed with that statement like no other. Then the game kept going and going, and going. Normally a long game isn't bad it is more game for your buck nothing wrong with that. Final Fantasy however was having me do thingFinal Fantasy VII remake part one is out and if you are like me and never played one before where else is a better place to start right? For the first 10 hours I definitely agreed with that statement like no other. Then the game kept going and going, and going. Normally a long game isn't bad it is more game for your buck nothing wrong with that. Final Fantasy however was having me do thing that felt so much like filler I could fit it in a JRPG pie. It didn't help I couldn't stand the characters or their dialog. The only thing keeping me going was the plot (when it progressed) and the combat. When you do fight it is fun and satisfying. I did enjoy every encounter I was in. I enjoyed the bug nuts boss fights even more. I do believe this could've been a wonderful game if they just trimmed it. Their sad attempt to get me to care about these characters with constant unnecessary dialog that bored the crap out of me only made me hate them more. If you love JRPG's this game is for you it is a very well made game. If you are like me and never really got into them for one reason or another Final Fantasy VII remake isn't going to change your mind anytime soon.… 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?
