    Great visuals and art. Combat is a good balance of flash and enough depth that it isn't button mashing. Great music. Dialogue and writing can be hit or miss although mostly it is miss, although it doesn't stop the characters from being at least likable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. you know, i feel like everyone who gave this game a 10/10 didn't play the original. the visuals are good but performance felt choppy and some textures looked awkward. music was good but the original also had good music so it doesn't necessarily make this game superior. combat is better or worse depending on what you like, however, it doesn't matter either way as the materia was always the fun part about ff7 combat, and since this game is only 1/7 of ff7, original ff7 has much more materia options, and for that reason, the combat is more interesting in original ff7. the story is just sh*t in this game. foreshadowing in this game can barely be called foreshadowing. they hint at cloud not being a soldier during midgar except everyone around cloud just doesn't care that he's not a soldier for some reason, despite that it should be a surprise since only tifa should know. a lot of dialogues are also sh*t. the added backstory to characters is pretty bland and uninteresting, on top of that they don't add much depth to the main cast and only focus on side characters no one cared about (except for yuffie but she's in ff7ri and is technically a side character). the side quests are also bland and uninteresting. the worst part of this game though, is definitely the ending, which is also sh*t. basically, everything related to writing is sh*t and whether the combat is good or not is debatable. the excuse for this review would probably be "well it's a reboot not a remake" but that's false advertising, which is a crime, and it wouldn't even change the fact that the side characters and added backstory are bland and uninteresting. overall, i'd recommend playing the original since you won't have to wait 30 years and it's also not a cashgrab.

    to be fair, at least this game actually had good translation which is one plus i guess, but it should be expected from a $60 game (for context, the original PSX release had a sloppy translation. it does actually have a fan translation though, which is much better. unfortunately, it's pretty buggy and a few things are broken. from my experience, it took about an hour to do the shinra march minigame due to not working properly and trying to attain the cave materias crashed the emulator.)    … Expand

    Amazing title. I first was sceptical, since I did not play the original game back then. But with it being in PS Plus, I gave it a chance. And boy it did not disappoint. Really liked the art style and the combat system. Still a bit unfinished for me, but the story was amazing for me as a new player.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge lover of the original FFVII, this was somewhat of a letdown. It was extremely exciting seeing the characters redone in more modern graphics, and I absolutely loved the characters and voice acting (although still, wth about Barret's weird sunglasses?). I was not thrilled about the side quests as they were lackluster and didn't enrich the story at all. I also understand the whole Tifa/Cloud/Aerith love triangle, but they made it a little weird and added some additional weird extra flirtiness with Jesse, I loved her character otherwise.

    I could forgive all of that and would have given it at least an 8 if it hadn't been for the odd time dementors. That just made the whole story lean toward the ridiculous side. I also was disappointed with how they treated Biggs, Wedge, and (possibly) Jesse's original deaths. The original gave so much meaning to Barret's story, and now Wedge was saved by a time dementor, then maybe killed offscreen later randomly? I don't know, it just all seemed out of place.

    The ending is what makes me fear for the rest of the series. I don't think I will buy the 2nd until I know how the story will go. If they hadn't said from the getgo it was going to be a fairly faithful recreation, I wouldn't be so disappointed. Other than the discrepancies, the game was pretty, the combat was fun, and the rest of the story was enriched. I particularly liked how they added more to the Wall Market. Overall, about 6/10 for me.    … Expand

    Boring combat, bad fan fiction story additions, linear hallway maps, no depth treasure chests include potions/ethers nothing else. just a trash game overall and I'm tired of all these fanboys rating it 9-10. Shows how much SE has brain washed some.

    I'm not at full ease with expressing my resentment using the english language (which i'm not a native speaker of), so I'm going to use words already said here by other people about the problem and dramatic error this so-called "Remake" was :

    Now, let M. Night Shyamalan rewrite the ending. But it's not really the ending, it's only the first arc, which you paid worth a triple A value. They could have fleshed out the story, but they retcon and spoil significant climactic parts of the complete game. Now, it's a reboot with an alternate timeline. This new generation has a knack for deflecting criticism and make it out about failures of pleasing everyone. The requests for a remake were clear: same story, modern graphics.

    If your critical review gets enough helpful votes, they take it down. They must be thinking about Square Enix stocks.

    Finished the game, done all sidequests with 50+ hours on it. I have played and finished the original, and because of that, there are numbers of elements that made me disappointed with this remake.

Was all    Finished the game, done all sidequests with 50+ hours on it. I have played and finished the original, and because of that, there are numbers of elements that made me disappointed with this remake.

    First off, the padding, and no matter who looks at it, this is a fact. Some part of the dungeon was really redundant like the ship grave, sewage and especially both of the Hojo's labs. Was all of these necessary? Did any of the dungeons I've listed developed a major character development like the Jesse's arc? No would be the answer. Sure there were some interactions, but all of them could've been done on different area, I could just skip or cut the whole dungeon part and I would see no difference on story progression from before and after entering the dungeon. Hojo's lab was the worst, because you learn absolutely nothing new as you progress the lab other than Hojo is a mad scientist, where in other news water is wet. Whether you like it or not, you get to know a lot more about Hojo after getting out of Midgar, so showing that this guy is a freak by making you go through useless dungeon is not a smart idea.

    Second, the combat system. This is not a problem if you're on easy, but anywhere higher literally shows all the bad parts of the combat. The reason is the amount of attack from the enemies can be really annoying, like you getting attacked in middle of healing immediately cancels the animation for whatever reason. Not only that, the game won't give you back the gauge you have spend on the action to cast the spell and I think that's disgustingly unfair considering all the enemies on late game have super-armor (unless you stagger them but that's not the problem). Another thing is that I hate how some of the attacks can be unfair where it's nearly unavoidable. If there is an dodge mechanic, wouldn't it make sense to have certain amount of frame that gives you invincibility? Take a look at monster hunter for this one, it makes you feel fair if the game gives you the chance of not taking any damage, but the remake doesn't. They make you eat all the damages without giving you a chance of getting up. even guarding won't reduce the damage a lot. In hard mode, all of these gets worse plus even the weak ones are took too long to beat, which made me gave up on hard run due to it being a waste of time.

    Third, the whispers. Why do these exists? They only made the story more annoying to look at the moment you know what these things are, especially the beginning. Doesn't matter if they play a major role on the sequel, this is not the kind of things you want that never existed on the first place. If they really meant for a build up, then they could've at least made a new character instead of making a swarm of gross looking ghosts.

    Fourth, take this as my nitpick, music. Half of them were good/okay, the other half was a shame towards Nobuo Uematsu's original musics. Like the Jenova's theme was exactly I expected and I loved it. I also kind of liked the airbuster's version of "those who fight further", but the rest of the versions of " were terrible, they don't sound like the original in terms of epicness (like not including the electric guitar). The wall market's theme got changed instead of the very fitting 'oppressed people'. If you like them, fine, this is my opinion after all.

    The positives are the environment being top notch, really makes you grasp how it feels like to live in Midgar. Looking forward to the remake version of Junon, Cosmo Canyon, Forgotten Capital and Wutai. The turks were also what I've expected, loving those dudes including Rufus so far. I don't know if the devs will ever include the rest of the turks, but I would really love to see them.    … Expand

    I'll be evaluating this game mostly as a product on its own, but it needs to be said that the atmosphere, enviroments and characters of the original FFVII are given new, spectacular life thanks to the massive technological advancements that the game industry has made since 1997.
    The narrows streets of the lively slums and the ominous industrial landscapes of Midgar can now be explored and    I'll be evaluating this game mostly as a product on its own, but it needs to be said that the atmosphere, enviroments and characters of the original FFVII are given new, spectacular life thanks to the massive technological advancements that the game industry has made since 1997.
    The narrows streets of the lively slums and the ominous industrial landscapes of Midgar can now be explored and witnessed with a realism that was once impossible, Cloud and the others now display a more rounded personality and deeper character thanks to the aid that voice acting and facial animations provide when making these fictional inidviduals feel more real (mostly thanks to the spectacularly written dialogues: these characters often speak to each other with such realistic demeanor, empathy and wit that you could mistake them for actual people), just as the new areas of the city and backstories give more personality to certain cast members and expand on the worldbuilding of the original. Even the soundtrack, once limited by the sound chip of the PlayStation, can now explode in its orchestral glory, surpassing the original. Every single aspect of the original game finds here a bigger, more decorated stage to perform on, without losing any of its original flare and instead having more room to convey itself. In that sense, yes: FFVII Remake is more FFVII than FFVII itself could ever be, at its time. And yet, in the final story beats of the game, although the presentation never fails, the screenplay and writing do, faltering here and there with abrupt tonal shifts and protagonists acting out of character to accomodate the story, mostly when the writers try to toy with the original script a little. But let's move on to the gameplay.
    If we compare the gameplay to a coin, we have two sides: Level Design and Combat.
    Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Level Design is quite underwheling, and it's mostly due to its painful linearity. There are small detours here and there, but they are all so inconsequential and minute that in the end it stll very much feels like you're funnelled through Midgar on a narrow path. There are pleasant exceptions, mosty when exploring towns (like the labyrinthian Wall Market), but they are exceptions. The one aggravating element that makes this even worse are the slow, sluggish animations. Cloud takes such a long time to climb ladders, slowly bend to open chests, press a button or swinging on monkey bars it's soporific. Some of these may be a way to hide loading screens, but some others can't be and are just a waste of time.
    Thankfully, walking and exploring it's not what we'll be mostly doing: that would be fighting.
    And the Combat of Final Fantasy 7 Remake is, simply put, better than the original game.
    This is not due to the shift from Turn-Based to Action: a Turn-Based game can be just as engrossing as an Action game, but the original game had some issues that hindered the overall experience that this game doesn't have, be it for its Action game nature or clever design choices.
    Firstly: one of the main flaws of the original is how every party member felt the same, since Materia is the main pillar of Combat, and every character can have every Materia, so they all felt like the same exact character in battle. Here, every character has its own Combos, with different range, speed and mechanics during fights which completely changes how you approach the enemy. On top of that, each character has a specific set of Abilities unique to them, unlocked through different weapons (which in turn incentivizes the player to try out every weapon), maybe some Abilities feel way too smiliar and plain, but overall it's a pretty solid array of techniques. Speaking of weapons, now every weapon has its own skill tree that can be upgraded. Every weapon has a different skill tree which leads to different builds for different situations. This way, not a single weapon truly becomes obsolete. The only real downside of Combat are Aerial Combos, which feel extremely sluggish and clunky, mostly due to the lack of options given to the player on air unlike games like Kingdom Hearts.
    The Enemy Roster, as well, is spectacular. So many different varieties of enemies with different movement and attack patterns, elemental weaknesses and weak points to find, since now enemies, and especially bosses, have different body parts to attack, which can affect the flow of battle, offering even more strategic options.
    Or, in other words: FFVII Remake tells a part of the same story that was told 23 years ago, only with more passion and more believable characters, but the exact same spirit, making only a couple missteps, especially in the end. The Level Design leaves much to be desired, but the strategic depth and variety of options in Combat, strengthened by the sensational bosses and enemies offered by the main story, side-quests and challenges, makes FFVII Remake substantially better than the original, as far as gameplay.    … Expand

    As a third person blend of real-time combat mixed with some menu-based decision making, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a masterclass in gorgeous graphics, excellent characters, memorable and breath-taking music, and a gripping story. Gorgeous Square Enix-esque cutscenes glue together this rather long winded game. When the story here is good, it’s fantastic. Boss fights are well-crafted, and abilities have plenty of weight and impact to make you feel like your attacks are doing serious damage. At the same time, however, there are far too many instances in the game in which these very same cutscenes display very clear signs of game-padding (any of those factory missions in which your traveling between platforms labeled with various letters.) In terms of content, this game’s story is only a fraction of what it’s original version was. However, I never felt it detract from my experience too much.

    Even as a part of such a large franchise, FFVII remake is an excellent standalone title, and I can legitimately recommend it to any and all gamers looking for a thrilling story and gameplay experience.

    Fights are insanely difficult with an artificial difficulty added in that makes hard mode impossible to stomach (infinite sleep or stun, one hit KOs followed by poke attacks while sleeping, bosses have way too much health that it can take 30 minutes for a fight). Absolute trash.

    The music is an embarrassment to the series, how do people say this is good?? It sounds like generic Avengers type of trash that you see on every triple A game now, and yet the original was so unique?

    All of the dungeons are just hallways you run forward and encounter enemies maybe, and the entirety of the story (that which wasn't changed into whacky wohoo time traveling ghosts and parallel dimensions) feels like filler content for a game that already was 80 hours long back in the PS1. This is the ultimate, low effort cashgrab, and people out there actually consider this a masterpiece. Embarrassing.

My main complaints: the plot and dialogues could be better (they were not interesting), voices in English didn't match with the mouths (I don't know if in Japanese does), everything takes place in the same city (you won't see green). Doesn't end: leaves you at the same place you started without knowing much unless you later search on the Internet. Quite disappointed. Lucky me I just borrowed it. I mean, it's not bad but there was nothing that made you play more and more. It took me 34 hours.

    Amazing game I would give it 10 but…the end is a kinda weird, I liked that in this remake Zack is “alive” I love Zack, but that ending with Aerith and Tifa and Barret is weird, and I didn't like that it was like:
    Cloud: Sephiroth is still alive
    Me: Ok not bad Some seconds later Aerith: We can, we will Me: jejeje ok that was weird especially Aerith's CGI face Me after 5 minutes: Just    Amazing game I would give it 10 but…the end is a kinda weird, I liked that in this remake Zack is “alive” I love Zack, but that ending with Aerith and Tifa and Barret is weird, and I didn't like that it was like:

    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?
