    i have loved the original game for 23 years now. it is still one of the few games i will dust off and play through start to finish every year or so. ive been looking forward to a redo of the original in a more 3d interface... but this is something different. its more of a 'inspired by' game, than a true remake. so i was nervous going in.

    Incredible game that makes me relive my childhood again. There ain't no gettin' off this train we're on. Graphics are beautiful, acting is characteristic of who the characters were in the OG FF7, music is profound and astounding, and story is well put together. Combat is perfection. It'll be hard for anything other game to be more fun than this.

    It's a shame that people still don't figure out the fact that it's an iconic title that outshone their favourite. Git gud, fellows! Final Fantasy VII is alive, more than ever! Thank you, Square Enix! This is a masterpiece.

    Sencillamente no llego a entender a esa gente anclada en el pasado que aún piensa que es malo este remake...me ahorro el calificativo de esa gente...square devuelve la magia a la saga y en concreto con esta entrega magnifica. Sin pestañear solo puedo decir que es magistral!! pese a quien le pese...

    Oh man it was a journey, a long one but worth it. Game is a marvel, in every aspect I adore it. Love battle style, heroes, story but my most beloved part is music which outstanding it's like best Hollywood, opera, choir music in one. It is artistic masterpiece. What a game!

    Un juego increíble, con un sistema de combate espectacular, una de las mejores bandas sonoras de la generación, unos personajes memorables y un universo fascinante. Es cierto que tiene algunos fallos menores, pero que para nada empañan a este gran videojuego que te engancha de principio a fin gracias a su ritmo sobresaliente.

    There are a few unfair reviews here, alot of them moaning about the episodic nature of the game. I for one am pleased they took this approach it means that they can cram more into the story. This game offers a massive expansion on the original story.

    Still a masterpiece, I miss it so much, now we can enjoy one of the best games ever made, in the beginning it's a little difficult to get used with the controller, but after some hours we get ready. Every FF fan will enjoy it for sure.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is not another Generic Open-world RPG with empty places. It's a charismatic game, with its unique identity, art-style and world building. It's a linear story-driven game, but with a lot variation of gameplay and pace so you are not suffocating like it was with FF13. There are many memorable moments in this game and the characters are very well written. Also thereFinal Fantasy VII Remake is not another Generic Open-world RPG with empty places.

Also there are very few Triple A games these days that still have a memorable soundtrack, and not a generic "Hollywoodish" music. FFVII has stellar music. Maybe the game has its issues with some bad textures and some fillers, but overall this game is fun, memorable and has a soul.… Expand

    What I m most surprised about with most ratings that give a 0 for this game is that the so called die hard fans of the Og ff7 are disappointed this game only covers 10% of the original story. And my question is this: How can you be a so called "die hard fan of FF7" and not know the first thing everybody knew about this remake from day 1?

    Jogo incrivel, e digo isso sendo que joguei mais de 200 horas o jogo original. Mecânica de combate que junta inovação e a tradição do jogo classico, trilhas sonoras bem alocadas ( algumas versões conseguem até superar a trilha original, nem todas obviamente ) e um ótimo aprofundamento de personagens classicos.

    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?
