    Obra maestra en todos los aspectos. Historia expandida, más detallada y con toda la esencia que tenía el Final Fantasy VII Remake original.

    Wow, just WOW. First of all 10 out of 10. Yes the game has its flaws, as do all, however the point is that this game is so good, that i don't care about the flaws. The way that the developers have chosen to tackle the remake, is interesting and i am excited for the games to come. Many people wanted a true to heart remake, however i personally have truly enjoyed this difference. BecauseWow, just WOW. First of all 10 out of 10.

Because instead of just having a game, in which we all know the story and end, we get the chance to relieve the best moments of the original game, but still with an air of mystery. Thank you Square, for this game is truly a must own.… Expand

    As a long time fan of the OG FF7, I can say that this remake captures everything that was good about the original and ads new stuff that I'm really happy about (yes even the ending, which keeps the game new and exciting!) I honestly can't wait to see where they will go next in the other parts.

    Literalmente que las notas de 0 son solo de lloricas que solo querían un revisionado gráfico de exactamente las mismas cosas del jeugo del 97. Como juego solo da la talla mas que de sobra siendo un juegazo, me falla alguna textura sin calidad suficiente que desentona bastante (cosa que pueden arreglar fácil con parche) pero lo demás de 10

    It is a great game with lots of action. Follows the same path as the original with adding a few things here and there and giving better back stories. It does change a bit at the end but in a good way that is unexpected for players of the original.

    Boy oh boy. There is so much to say about this game I'm gonna try to be as fast and direct as possible and avoid a massive wall of text and without saying any spoilers. Be before I simply gonna do a little message to all the haters and people who put this masterpiece a 0/10.

    We all have different opinions for me this game is worth 10/10 for all the reasons I will explain soon. But    Boy oh boy. There is so much to say about this game I'm gonna try to be as fast and direct as possible and avoid a massive wall of text and without saying any spoilers. Be before I simply gonna do a little message to all the haters and people who put this masterpiece a 0/10.

    We all have different opinions for me this game is worth 10/10 for all the reasons I will explain soon. But giving this game a 0/10 does not make sense at all. Almost all the negative comment I read was from people who did not complete the game and just hated that the mechanism was replaced. Each time one aspect of the game change and it was not to their liking they put 0/10. So if anyone reading this the negative section is not even worth reading it. It's just a bunch of salty, angry grey whispering hatred stuff.

    1. Music: The music is just perfect. The amount of soundtrack in this game cannot be counted FFVII was known for their awesome soundtrack well they just took all the soundtrack perfected them. Some people said that it was trash maybe they are just deaf.

    2. Combat/Menu/Settings/Map: The combats are great even if people are mad that they did not put the original. I'm a huge fan of this game I liked the old combat system but it's 2020 they are trying to make this Remake for everyone, not just people who don't want to change in their head. The menu was great I was lost at one point in the game and I find all my answers on the menu very helpful. Settings were simple to use. The map was useful.

    3. Characters:
    [Cloud]The character are so well made. Cloud on my preference level seems a bit too much like a whinny and wanna be Sasuke. Cloud was arrogant and did not care he was not whining that much in the OG but I feel they changed him to make him a bit more like. Personally, I don't like that I would have preferred to see a more arrogant-rebel-sarcastic type. But this is personal the character ain't bad.
    [Tifa] was the good old Tifa I knew her voice her line her body language that's how I saw her. Again some people are put a 0/10 on this game because she got a sports bra no kidding people are pressing 0/10 easy here.
    [Jessie]A lot of people complain that the change was badly done some even went to the point of imagining weird twisted stuff with Jessie cuz it was not like in the original I find this a bit absurd Jessie is a good character and was not too much.
    [Barret]The best character made was Barret this game would be very different if Barret was not there. They keep what makes Barret he's perfect he's so funny but also his facial expression is the best when he doesn't have sunglasses weirdly enough his lines are so good.
    [Aerith]Perfectly done she's really funny and able to manage any kind of depressed sad grumpy person. She is so well done I'm happy they took their time.
    [Sephiroth] Perfectly the only thing I did not like as much was the voice acting I feel the voice actor struggle. He could have made a good Sephiroth voice but I just feel it was not made correctly rushed maybe?
    [The rest of the character] I honestly liked like all the other characters they really put effort into creating a personal touch to everyone.

    4. The story: A lot of people complain about the game was too much filler. This game is huge. They even told us that it will cover only Midgar. They could have just cover Midgar and give us a 20-25 hours game like a lot of games theses day but no. They decide to takes theirs let us discover more about the character we see and places in Midgar which was awesome the game can take 35-50 to be completed and the filler are interested why play and rate this game if you don't even love the content the rating does not make sense once again. The story was really good and the end of the game let me out of words.

    5. Last words: Some people are angry, pissed because they adapted this game for something better. Final Fantasy VII was made in 1997 after the release they made other content related to it liked The Turks Story (don't know the name) which was a plain game and kind of boring only for old cellphones which almost no one knows about. They made Dirge of Cerebus which was a disaster. They made a film which was so bad I just watched it cuz I liked the FFVII universe but man it was bad. They made Crisis Core which was really good. The point is FFVII OG always had been the best think about the FFVII universe. They decide to extend it put more work and effort and passion into this work and offer something we want. I have no problem of paying money since I prefer them working and exploring the possibility of this game instead of just remaking the game exactly at it is with better graphics also the game was worth every penny of it.

    A lot of people missed the point of the game. Instead of giving us a part of the same game with better graphics, they adjust it for the modern gamers and added stuff fill with passion. And they want to surprise us by continuing this epic journey.    … 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?
