    A great rendition of the original game with a few story elements changed. I am overall happy with how this was handled and can't wait for the next entry. Thank you Square Enix for this long awaited return to FF VII

    I had to make an account just so I can lend my voice to the apparently minority of people who think this game is absolute garbage. I can't believe just how bad they messed this up. Story wise, all they had to do was follow the original and maybe add some more depth to side characters, but nope they go completely off the rails and turn it into some awful teenage fan fiction.

I was completely and totally defending this remake up until release with full faith in their ability to deliver AT LEAST the original story up to Midgar with updated graphics and modernized combat. The combat is all form and no function, as you are frustrated with being locked into animations and attacks being interrupted so you lose MP and ATB. I hated every minute of this game after the first 5 hours or so, and it took me 35 to get through it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With how often promotional material for Final Fantasy VII Remake advertised a "faithful" remake, after completing this game, you'd question how these people would function in a romantic relationship. Perhaps to them, being faithful is only cheating on their partner once a week. Let that metaphor sink in for the following review: This Is Not Final Fantasy VII Anymore.

    Here is a list of 'absolute' story changes this "Remake" deploys on its player base:

    1) Wedge and Biggs survive the fall of the Sector 7 plate, removing Barret's raison d'être for his fueled hatred against Shinra. So much emotional weight was put into these connections for it to be satisfyingly sad when they perish. Except permanent death is not a thing nowadays. It is now a sin to have an audience experience negative emotions that capture the tapestry of life.

    2) Sephiroth is not an unknown presence to be feared and learned about. He is immediately recognized as a threat to every single person who witnesses him--and everyone witnesses him because he appears multiple times throughout the game, including as the final boss. This final encounter copies the cinematography and choreography of Cloud's battle at the end of FF7: Advent Children. Sephiroth envelops Midgar in shadow; Cloud and him face-off 1v1; Sephiroth tells Cloud he'll exist forever after being defeated. Previous ideas are recycled to pad nostalgia further in this climax.

    3) The overall story now closely resembles Kingdom Hearts. The epicenter of divergence from the original story happens in a place called "Destiny's Crossroads" (like Destiny Island from Kingdom Hearts). Here, you'll encounter a massive fiend the same shape as a Darkside Heartless. This fiend is attached to three new Time/Space entities that give visions to EXACT FOOTAGE from the END of FF7 and FF7: Advent Children (such as Meteor hitting the planet, Red XIII and his children, Aerith dying, and the final battle against Sephiroth). This story now involves multiple timelines and time travel I guess.

    4) Speaking of timelines, Zack appears and he's alive and well, watching you defeat Sephiroth. It is unknown if every game after the original FF7 will become moot after this Remake is complete.

    5) After defeating Sephiroth, Cloud already has a feeling that the Sephiroth wasn't real and needs to find the real one. There is little reference to Jenova in this entire game, and the concept of "Reunion" seems like common knowledge, so it is impossible how these characters come to such a comfortable conclusion of hating Sephiroth, believing he was a fake, and thinking he'll destroy the planet. Aerith even goes so far as to say to Sephiroth, "Everything about you is wrong." Remember, Aerith has never met Sephiroth before. You'll often find this dichotomy of writing that has the characters fully aware of the game's expanded lore and then sometimes not at all.

    6) Sephiroth transports Cloud to a distant planet for a short duel. He wins, but says that Cloud has 7 seconds to make a change. If you count to 7, nothing happens by the end of it... Afterwards, Cloud somehow returns to Midgar and his party is ready to track down and destroy Sephiroth. None of this makes sense.

    7) The earliest change players will encounter are called "Whispers". These mysterious, hooded ghosts appear during divergences from the original game. It quickly becomes apparent that these ghosts sometimes impede your progress to sustain the original FF7's plot, and then sometimes intervene to change it. They ensure you can't save Jessie, because she's supposed to die, but they are involved in the final battle against Sephiroth that is felt by every citizen of Midgar. Also, these Whispers are seen by Aerith immediately, and then eventually everyone else in the gang, including Rufus Shinra, but not by any of the Turks for some reason. These things exist solely to be theorized about by Youtubers to prolong the exposure of FF7R.

    Conclusion:

    This game's combat and materia system is complex and beautifully designed. The music is astounding and very fitting, except for a new arrangement of One Winged Angel that sounds flat. These components are the sole reason to play the game. New characters like Roche fit well into Midgar, but new story scenes create a lack of urgency that get annoying. And the main plot is now the epitome of everything wrong in modern storytelling. Content is obtuse, actions are convenient, characters never speak their mind which lead to cliche story problems, and the more mystery for people to talk about the better. Final Fantasy VII Remake is well-worth renting, or buying used for ~$30. The story experience and concluding frustration and confusion is not worth full price. I will not support the future games that draw on the same tropes and rehashing of ideas that exist in parallel franchises. Depending on your taste in storytelling, buyer integrity, and disposable income, you will make a choice appropriate to your life.    … Expand

For those that say the quality of graphics aren’t consistent, you are still getting high quality compared to most other games. Would def recommend for others to play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely 100% hate the ending with a passion. What on God's green earth are they doing? Leave aside the use of the word remake as a blatant lie, and if they are using the word remake as in the characters remaking their destiny, that isn't clever it's convoluted. Let's also leave aside the appearance of Zack so early on taking away from the major twist of the game, and Barret's Cosmo canyon scene being emotionally lessened due to Biggs and maybe Jesse being alive. Let's leave aside the final fight with Sephiroth being all flash no substance as he hasn't earned his place to be there yet. Most newcomers will still have no idea who he even is so what is he doing as the final boss.

    Narrative is important, the key themes and concepts of a story resonate with people. We recognise ourselves in the characters we see strengths weaknesses and are able to abstract lessons from them. These characters and their stories are as real to us as real people because of the effect they have had on us and our lives. People, including me, literally cried with all the emotions attached to tears through the journey to get here. Square knew this and capitalised on it with their Japanese adverts of the connections created through the OG.

    To turn people like me, who said please explain, explore and expand on the lore of the game but leave the core themes and characters the hell alone, into the last boss of the game. To have their loyalty and love for ff7 be represented as the whispers of fate, have them defeated and announce they will now do what they like, that everything is now on the table is a disgrace. I don't know how they have the arrogance or the disrespect to treat the fans like that. Nomura isn't half as clever as he thinks he is.

    Please, if I am wrong tell me, if I am being uncharitable change my mind. I want to be wrong. But as things stand right now, I'm done with Square, I'm done with gaming. Without respect, I reject    … Expand

Their work is evident in removing any and (possibly) all deaths from the game as well as reframing and changing some of the actions and motivations of the self described eco-terrorists avalanche. Nope, no deaths here, we are all just super nice terrorists. Jenovas blood from the lavatory scene is changed from red to a nice sparkly purple as if they are terrified to show red like a like a prime time TV sanitory pad commercial and Aerith was no longer kept captive and experimented as a child - she was just staying there and "it was not too bad and she was treated well"... how nice. It kind of makes her mother's actions, as she dies trying to get Aerith to safety, a little less meaningful, cos, you know, it wasn't so bad living there apparently...
    Square enix seem to have Disney-fied themselves. The ending presents a **** show starring a Kingdom hearts like convoluted plot exploding all over the last hour of the game as our protagonists fight the physical embodiment of fate. Yes, fate incarnate - in some kind of parallel universe, dimensional plane, where time and space is frozen. Snore. After defeating the giant heartless, I mean the physical embodiment of Fate, golden rain sparkles across time bringing anyone who died back to life and ruining decade old storielines that people love and and were hyped about seeing in a remake.

    It was so close to being exactly what people wanted but, like eating a tasty sandwhich with a **** surprise on the last bite, you can't help but feel that somehow the overall meal is ruined.    … Expand

The combat system can feel like FFXV but when you engage the tactical pause, the original JRPG comes back with all options and choices the Materia system gives you. Music is the best you'll hear in any current game, many variants of themes, depending on action at screen, are telling you the story at least as much as the script.
    Without spoiling, the end has too much of Kingdom Hearts genes, and non fans won't understand it 100% but it is satisfying enough to let SquareEnix decide if new episodes are needed or not.    … Expand

The developers should be proud, while things changed, I am immensely excited for Part 2. My dream has come true.

Espero que a Square Enix não mude a história com esses whispers of fate porque se isso acontecer a história do FInal Fantasy 7 de 1997 + o Crisis Core + o Advent Children vão literalmente pro lixo fora isso o jogo é muito bom e se o final fantasy 7 de 1997 é uma Obra de Arte o Remake é uma obra prima da 8° Geração de consoles.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed playing through FFVII remake, and managed to complete the game in 32 hours which included all the side quests I am aware of. The difficulty level of the game is really fair in the classic mode, and is well balanced to allow you to enjoy the combat. Writing this review makes me think whether the game deserves a 10, or less. Judging this game as a game on its own, it deserves a 10, however as a remake of the original, it does not capture the full glory of the original. Many of my favourite moments were absent, however this was my expectation before starting to play the game. I expected the game to be released in more than 1 chapter, and given the ending, it seems highly probable.… Expand

    -The maps are super linear and hand holding, there is borderline no exploration in this game..


    -They packed this game with fluff and filler. They littered the game with forced slow walking  sections and endless ladders and squeeze spots in a blatant attempt at extending game time. It's painfully noticeable the further you get into the game and look back.


    -Graphics are sporadic, but unbelievably bad from Chapter 10-14. The world looks like a PS2 era game. Shady textures, grainy coloring, even using still backgrounds techniques from Ps1 Era. Characters still look good, but environment and scenery is terrible. 


    -75% of battles don't respawn, it's one and done. With the terribly linear maps, zero exploration and terrible side quest(very few to begin with and only available certain chapters) this makes for a pretty boring experience. Which is a shame considering the combat is one of it's best points. 


    -Midgar was dragged out with absolutely nothing of value added to the FF7 story. They could have went further with the story if they cut out the 50-60% that is filler. It's an obvious attempt at dragging this out across many parts. 


    -What little story with substance they actually provided is already starting to look like its convoluted cousin Kingdom Hearts, this is not a Remake, but a Reboot.


    The combat is good, the Materia system is solid and the VA is well done. They packed the game with Voice Acting and live Animation to try and mask a very poorly made experience. It's obviously a lazy attempt at cashing in on the once great Square, not to be confused with Square Enix, most popular titles and its fanbase.    … Expand

    Barret - he was agressive already in original game, fine, he have right to be agressive, but sometimes, he overreacting even in totally strange situations.
    Wedge - only speaking with him is embarassing! Few more thumb ups and I will break his thumb.
    Biggs - wishy-washy at best.
    Jessie - probably least annoying and most finest character in Avalanche.
    Tifa - why? Why? What they have done to you?! Such great character and personality in original game, now she act like arrogant moron.
    Sidepersons (Marla, shop persons etc.) - terrible.
    What is most annoying is that everyone act toward Cloud like he is worst riff-raff and he even do not resist.
    At the end. Shinra Corporation is not much different from Avalanche. Shinra is greedy, Avalanche have messiah-complex. Shinra is arrogant, Avalanche is arrogant.

    Gameplay. Gameplay is probably strongest element.
    Openworld - fine, not great, not terrible, better than in FF13 I played as last FF.
    Quests - quests and sideactivities not worst.
    Battle/combat system - fine by me! Many people were angry (even I had doubts) about changes, but I think its fine.

    Graphic.
    There I have one very big criticism. On various places, textures and objects look like squashed low-res textures.

Con las dimensiones que ha tomado solo el hecho de recrear midgar, imaginad la complicación de recrear todo el resto del mundo a este nivel. Es logico que se haya optado por hacerlo en varias partes, de otra manera sería inviable . Tanto económicamente como físicamente, no se puede hacer un juego con 6 bluerays. Algunos aún no entienden lo que es un remake, mirarlo en el diccionario de la RAE, haber que pone. Con todo esto dejo claro mi percepción del juego, solo diré que después de haber jugado a todos los grandes de la generación, este título ha sido el único que me ha sacado una lagrimita y ha conseguido emocionarme, quizás por nostalgia, pero lo ha sabido hacer y eso para mi es suficiente. No es un juego perfecto, pero es lo que quería y y creo que será recordado como su antesesor, más aún cuando este finalizado el proyecto.… Expand

    This is one of the best JRPG I have ever played and believe me I have played a lot. This game has everything in a story, funny moments, haunted chapters that give goosebumps, it got it all, even mini-games feel good, My whole family is doing the exercise mini-game in the gym to beat my high score.

    Only ending is a little bit disappointing/confusing. Everything else - perfection!

    El remake que todos mereciamos sin duda. Pequeños problemas técnicos que son fácilmente solucionables con algún parche pero a rasgos generales me ha encantado este remake de mi juego favorito.

    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?
