    A refreshing breath of air into a timeless classic. Far more than a simple remaster, yet it holds on to elements of the original that made it great. This is absolutely the must-play game of the year, whether you loved the original, or are playing the game for the first time.

    This game gives us something familiar but new at the same time. It doesn't replace the original, but provides a different experience.

    WOW. I'm a die hard fan of the original, dreamed for 20 years about this game to be released, and it's everything I hoped it to be. Having a blast is a droplet in the ocean of my satisfaction. Can't wait to play part 2 !!!

    Was really surprised that this game surpassed my expectations in so many regards.
    Soundtracks and similar, but enhance the experience further then the original. Characters which we know from FF7 are faithful to the original and have even more interactions between each other. Even side quest characters feel like actual people. Every area looks lively and NPC react to it the way anyone else    Was really surprised that this game surpassed my expectations in so many regards.

Even side quest characters feel like actual people. Every area looks lively and NPC react to it the way anyone else would (feels genuine). Gameplay is not turn based, but from my aspect that is completely fine since this type always keeps you on your toes when in combat. While this is only part 1 and I expect at least 2 more to come, this one definitely makes you more exciting for the future parts.    … Expand

    El videojuego es increíble, sus diálogos, su historia, su banda sonora. Realmente crea una vibra cuando lo juegas, y sientes completamente que estas en el universo del videojuego. Gráficamente es impecable, saca todo el provecho de una consola como PS4 y está muy bien optimizado.

    Pros:
    - stunning visuals and gorgeous set-pieces
    - amazing soundtrack and audio production - perfect character development - fantastic world-building - well-developed environments - Midgar felt like a real lived in place, it’s people were so characterised and full of life - very dynamic boss battles (for the most part) - fast-paced and tactical combat system (for the most part) -    Pros:

    - Towards the end of the game felt more hack n slash than tactical RPG action
    - Some dungeons were drawn out
    - Side quests felt padded and stretched the play through time a bit too much    … Expand

    This re-imagining of the beloved FF7 more than hits the mark as Square Enix perfects the mix of real-time and turn based combat, allow the player to truly engage in the character development of our favorite heroes and give us a version of Midgar that was previously only in our dreams. Thanks Square!

    Well this is a remake, obviously there are new bits and pieces added to the game, and that is why it is called a REMAKE right?. As a long long time final fantasy fan, I love the new action turn based system. If you expect a remake to be as good and similar to the original one, go play the classic version then. 10/10 would play again.

    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?
