    One of the best games I played period. And the best modern Final Fantasy game. It took me 60 hours to finish the game and I have 10% remain of side missions and items to collect.
    I can't wait to continue the story of FFVII and it's beautiful universe. Thank you Square Enix.

    I think anyone who didn't like the ending is jumping the gun. We all expected a 1:1 Remake and I completely understand anyone's frustration or anger with the way this game subverted expectations. I am a fan of FF7 who played the original when it came out, and so I think everyone's feelings are valid and understandable. I was initially angry at the ending too.

    I think anyone who didn't like the ending is jumping the gun. We all expected a 1:1 Remake and I completely understand anyone's frustration or anger with the way this game subverted expectations. I am a fan of FF7 who played the original when it came out, and so I think everyone's feelings are valid and understandable. I was initially angry at the ending too.

    That being said, I ask that you keep an open mind and think critically about the ending and all of the times the "whispers" showed up throughout the game. We don't have any idea what will happen, but the theories and prospects are very exciting. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that I don't think you should take the ending at face value. Both Aerith and Sephiroth seem to know more than they let on. Don't write this game off just yet. Let's wait until the next installment and see where the story goes.

    Apart from the story, I think the game was absolutely fantastic. The battle system was a nice blend of old and new. I really believe this may be the best implementation of a turn-based/action hybrid I've ever seen. The materia system works very similarly to how it worked in the original, and it was a blast leveling up the weapons and abilities.

    The graphics are absolutely breathtaking. I still can't believe they pulled this off on a PS4. The characters are all modeled immaculately, and the skybox is pre-rendered and so, so beautiful.

    The voice acting is spot on, the characters all act how I imagined they would act, and there isn't so much awkwardness like in Final Fantasy XV. You can tell Square went the extra mile to make this game appeal to Western fans. I don't know that there has been a better English voice cast for a Japanese game.

    As for negatives, the majority of my negatives are nitpicks.

    The game feels extremely padded in parts. They took what was essentially a 4-8 hour experience from the original and made it a 30-40 hour journey. While some of the new content is awesome, some of it misses the mark and feels like it's trying to waste your time.

    Also, the game is fairly linear. I don't know that it ever reaches Final Fantasy XIII "Hallway Simulator" levels, but it straddles the line pretty hard. With that being said, Midgar was always really linear in the original, so in that respect, this game is more "open" than the original.

    Finally, I want to talk about the extreme level of pop-in and the bafflingly low quality textures in the game. In chapter 3, which is one of the more "open" chapters of the game, characters can be seen popping in left and right if you run. The low quality textures are really strange, especially compared to how detailed and nearly perfect the character models are. One good example is the door to Tifa's room in chapter 3. It's so low quality that I can't believe they didn't notice. I really think it's a PS4 memory issue and this will be fixed next year when the game releases on PC and the next gen consoles. Until then, we will have to live with the low quality doors. It's not that bad, and it doesn't really affect the whole game, but when you see it, it stands out like a sore thumb.

    All in all, I had a blast with the game and I think it is well worth your time whether you are a new fan or old. The future is scary and exhilarating, but have faith and patience and go discuss your theories with other fans! Try to keep an open mind and respect the opinions of others.

Not only did Square Enix painstakingly recreate Midgar and Final Fantasy VII from the ground up in a brand new engine, but the fact that they care and love the series absolutely shows. From the amazing graphical quality to the smooth combat, it’s absolutely evident that a lot of time and effort went into the game polishing it to near perfection.

    While some are slamming the game because it “only” covers the Midgar portion of FFVII, they’ve added so much content within Midgar that it’s still a full length game. Seeing that the original on PSOne was 3 CDs, putting the game around 2,4gb back in 1997, that’s massive. It only makes sense that the new game would have to be broken up as well. Square has soured gamers that each game will be a full games worth of content, they’ve also stated that the second installment won’t take anywhere near as long as the first, due to all the assets not having to be remade and the engine already being done.

    The wait was worth it and the game is everything I hoped it would be, and more. If you are, in any way, a Final Fantasy fan, and especially a Final Fantasy VII fan, I promise that you absolutely will not be disappointed. Play the demo first if you want to get a feel for it, the demo is an amazing representation of the full game, with some things not included for obvious reasons.

    Buy the game, you will not regret it one bit if you are any sort of a fan of Square or FF games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is NOT FF7. It's a game LOADED with pointless fetch quests to stretch out the game to justify releasing in multiple parts. The story has been completely changed (to the point that it is a completely different game). The battle system is the only thing that's fun, but you only control one character and the AI on the computer controlled characters in your party is completely broken. You can't give them commands until their ATB is full, but they just stand there and don't do anything to build their ATB. So it's basically a one person party the entire game because the other two members are nearly useless.

    The people giving this game a positive score just bought into the hype. It's loaded with fetch quests, has a completely different plot and story (I can't understate this), the computer AI on your party members is broken, and the only thing that's done well are the story parts kept in from the original (which constitutes less than 5% of the the playtime of the remake. the rest is new and added in and/or pointless fetch quests).

    The time travel twist completely makes this a different story. I am cool with added backstories and tweaking the existing story here and there. And the parts they did that were well done. But then they took a sledgehammer to the story with the ending. This is not what ANYONE wanted when fans were begging for a remake for a decade.

    The original FF7 is my favorite game of all time. I was disappointed when I heard the changes that were made to the game during development, and that they were dividing it into multiple games. But I still saw the great scores the game was given, and got excited and gave it a chance. I've never been more disappointed. What I played was way worse than even my worst fear..

    A beautiful recreation of Midgar with welcome expansion of some key characters from the original and a solid combat system, held back by some design/ technical issues and creative choices that for some original fans may be more of a meteor crater than a dent in an otherwise solid game.

    A beautiful recreation of Midgar with welcome expansion of some key characters from the original and a solid combat system, held back by some design/ technical issues and creative choices that for some original fans may be more of a meteor crater than a dent in an otherwise solid game.

    In depth below:
    Graphics:
    The game is absolutely visually stunning to look at. Models are rendered amazingly and the Midgar looks phenomenal - with wall market being a personal visual highlight.
    Unfortunately as reported, there were frequent instances were textures appear low quality or “pop” in - certainly enough to warrant this games not being 10/10 in the graphics department which is a shame.

    Story:
    I’m not a diehard fan of ff7 so I can’t speak too much of faithfulness to the original but I think there were some excellent expansions on some of the key casts stories and motivations that I think fans will welcome and enjoy for most of their ride through FFVII: R. This is not to say it is perfect and are certainly some key creative decisions that when looked at objectively do feel rushed, out of place, and not fitting of the first instalment of this remake.

    Gameplay:
    Combat was a fun blend of action hack and slash with use of the ATB gauge to use items, materia and other weapon abilities. Other party members have unique combat styles that are fun to master and it felt like a breeze to switch between characters or issue commands.

    My main criticism with the Combat lay with normal mode, in which didn’t feel tougher but rather that enemies felt very padded - especially boss battle encounters to which abilities didn’t feel impactful and the stagger gauge, a returning gameplay mechanic from FFXIII, seemed incredibly slow to fill for little payback. Even the summons, which can be called upon during specific fights and fight alongside the party for a short spell, didn’t feel like they made as much of an impact. On easy mode it does seem to remove the extra padding making combat feel a little more satisfying.

    The side quests are pretty cookie cutter “NPCs first fetch quest“, but there are some fun mini games thrown in to mix things up. Music:
    I absolutely loved the soundtrack of this game. They made some original tracks feel part of the world with modern takes on the older melodies and it felt like the score had plenty of range while hitting the nostalgia notes when it needed to.

    In conclusion:
    All in all a great game that has had a loving amount of detail poured into the world befitting of the long development cycle. Creative choices from a story standpoint have the biggest impact on the score and I can see OG fans rating this much much lower as a result. But for me, the love and care gone into everything else that has gone into this game means it can salvage a much higher result.

    7/10 - thanks for coming to my ted talk.

    The character development in this game is better in content than it’s decades old source, but the delivery of those scenes is either breathtaking in story quests, or lazily robotic during side quests. Whenever the player is talking to one npc as the camera shifts from person to person, takes you right out of the mood of the scenes. The story is can be delivered in blockbuster fashion, or a sci-fi channel B movies.

    The combat itself is new and adaptive to modern JRPGs with the new command system, but the camera control and angles are distinctly early 2000s, especially when in doors fighting enemies. If launched more spells at columns and walls than I care to admit. Maybe cloud just hates walls? Maybe the developers are trying to show me how good the textures are on the walls. Will you enjoy ff7 remake? Probably, but how much depends how strong your love for the original game with foggy nostalgia glasses.

    7/10, with enough time, recognition, and acknowledgement of this games short comings, I can say the follow ups to this remake will be something worth remembering, again

So, taking that into effect, we cannot blast Square for this, storyline wise, until we have the complete package in hand. Outside of a few graphical texture issues (which could easily be fixed by a future patch) this game is beautiful. The gameplay is some of the best I’ve seen on a Square RPG.

    -Ghost plot, totally unnecessary. The original plot was way better and enough to make a game.
    -Side quest as Cats, or finding monsters .
    -The scenery at the highway was a tedious one, that mini game with the Robot hand. I had to do it because it was necessary but it was boring seen those things move slow it kill the pace of the game.
    -Ojos Lab floors scenery, switching between characters was also tedious.
    -They remove the BLOOD from the Original game, as when Sephirot opened the cell for you and you found a trail of blood. Well that's gone including that scene.

    They made things right, so that't the 4/10 . As copying the original story before the end, music, graphics and dialog voices(except for Aerith).
    Seems they will mess up with the original story in the next chapter, I think I will buy it but not will be a 1st day buy anymore, and not a priority anymore. And I'm sure it is my last FF.

The game, regardless of side quests and padding, has kept me entertained for countless hours. I'm now actually looking forward to the next FFVII installment and wish they'd just been a bit more honest from the offset. If you're new to the FFVII universe it's still not a game to jump in to as details and plot points are all over the show, but as a fan, it's done a decent job of bringing the characters out in 2020.

    Original: What starts out as a loving recreation of the 1997 classic I love so dearly ends almost identical to Kingdom Hearts 1. I'm not joking. Why did they do this? The music, gameplay, settings, all are perfect, but then in comes Kingdom Hearts! WHY!?!?!

    A wonderful soundtrack and some breathtaking visuals start the game off on nostalgia driven high notes. Add to that some poor game mechanics, even poorer pacing, and an increasing stale battle system, and you have one of the most anticipated video games of the year falling flat on its face.

    The game starts with what every fan of FF7 wanted from this game. Stunning visuals, outstanding music and a verbatim opening mission that lead many, myself included, to believe this was going to be a remake in the same vein as what Capcom did for Resident evil 2. But just as quickly as the hopes came they soon dashed away. The battle system, while being entertaining at first quickly devolved into a weird combination of hack&slash and micro managing. As an Action RPG you attack, dodge, and fill up special gauges in real time. You, however, control only 1 of 3 party members at any one time. The other 2 will barely react in the interim causing the player to have to constantly take control and manually move and queue up attacks. This simply makes the point of moving away from a turn based system bizarre at best and inconsiderate at worst. And to drive home the point that the other 2 party members are basically statues the enemies you fight rarely target them instead focusing on the player character no matter who that be. So if you were hoping to switch to a healing character and get a more objective view of the party you are out of luck.

    The Main character design and immediate level artwork were immaculate. Absolutely breathtaking. But it was soon obvious that’s where the bulk of the processing power went. the background and deep scenery were prerendered paintings which was only really of note because they clashed so wildly with the characters. By characters, I of course mean just the main ones as well. All the NPCs look decent enough to be in a ps3 game at best. Luckily they look right at home with their immediate background and surroundings lacking ps4 quality textures.

    The biggest problem of note however was the awful pacing of the game. As many know this game took the first 5 or so hrs of the original and stretched it to 35. How they did that left me scratching my head more often than not. I first noticed on an early 90minute long mission with my new avalanche buddies learning their motivations. I thought if this type of content is what I’m getting with a new game and 60 bucks I’m all for it baby give me a slice of that pizza. But then I realized that was the major extent of the extra content. The rest of the added 23 hours were either (forced) Slow down walking sections while I listened to the usually well done voice acting speaking what I could have read in a fraction of the time, or I was tracking down kitty kats or chasing fish frogs through a sewer for a key. All this was punctuated by extreme cut scenes of urgency, explosions, and blossoming friendships. I have never felt such a hurry up a wait mentality before in a game.

    If you are a fan of the original FF7 this game might just scratch that nostalgia itch. If you are trying to find a new game to sink your teeth into this one probably isn’t the one for you. I left this one feeling oddly similar to how I felt during FF13 in terms of story structure and level design. So if you liked how 13 was put together with the possibility of having a partial FF15 style combat then give this one a try and you might just love it. If not, wait until it goes on sale or to your local library to rent it. 5/10

    Looking at the game from someone who has played the original it has points of nostalgia. However, the gameplay itself is a bit lacking. It restricts you at points of the game and there isn't too much exploring in the game. My least favorite thing is my favorite character from the original game isn't even a playable character.

After years, waiting for it after the promise of the remake, we find ... this. Playable and graphically it's outstanding (except for the popping in some textures and the camera during fighting in small spaces). But what gives the suspense without a doubt are the plot changes that not only influence this chapter that concerns us but will also affect the following chapters. We all like the story of the original game and absolutely nobody has asked for events to change, I do not consider myself a purist and I would have tolerated certain changes, but this is too much, in an RPG the story is a fundamental pillar and add time travel , premonitions and resurrections makes it a cheap story worthy of a B-movie, in short, the game is overflowing with fanservice from all sides in an uncontrolled way. They had it very easy, they just had to repeat what they did 23 years ago with current technology, that was the only thing we asked for and we found a first part that is only faithful to the original during the first hours of the game and that is going crazy for as the story progresses with an ending taken from the top hat that leaves a very bitter taste and completely eliminates the desire to acquire the next episode of the title. Conclusion: this is not Final Fantasy VII.

    No se trata de un remake como nos prometieron si no de una reinvención del título, solo por eso el juego tiene un aspecto negativo de gran importancia. Después de años esperándolo con ilusión tras la promesa del remake nos encontramos con... esto. Jugable y gráficamente es sobresaliente (salvo el popping en algunas texturas y la cámara durante los combates en espacios estrechos). Pero lo que le otorga el suspenso sin duda son los cambios argumentales que no solo influyen en este capitulo que nos atañe sino que también afectarán a los siguientes capítulos. A todos nos gusta la historia del juego original y absolutamente nadie ha pedido que cambien los acontecimientos, no me considero un purista y abría tolerado ciertos cambios, pero esto es demasiado, en un rpg la historia es un pilar fundamental y añadirle viajes en el tiempo, premoniciones y resurrecciones la convierte en una historia barata digna de una película de serie B, en pocas palabras, el juego rebosa fanservice por todos lados de manera descontrolada con todo lo que ello implica. Lo tenían muy fácil, solo tenían que repetir lo que hicieron hace 23 años con tecnología actual, eso era lo único que pedíamos y nos encontramos con una primera parte que solo es fiel al original durante las primeras horas de juego y que se va desmadrando a medida que se avanza en la historia con un final sacado de la chistera que deja un sabor muy amargo y elimina por completo las ganas de adquirir el siguiente episodio del título. Conclusión: esto no es Final Fantasy VII.

    - Stunning graphics, justifying the city of Midgar.
    - Some parts of the game were spectacular and fun.
    - Gameplay and the fighting, although it was not ATB.

    Cons:
    - Boring side-quests.
    - Some parts of the main story felt like filler-content and where not that interesting.
    - 35+ hours was way to long.
    - The ending, turning a perfect story into metaphysical garbage.

The action combat is acceptable as long as you remember that some attacks are simply 'unblockable' in the sense that you take reduced damage or damage - just like in the old turn based style. Mechanics feel fluid, and the transition from solid graphics to quality cinematic cutscenes is just an experience that has not been lived before on this game. Square Enix absolutely killed it with this release, cannot wait for parts 2 and 3!

    Pro tip: turn the language to Japanese and subtitles on for more fluid dialogue.

    I patiently waited years to play Final Fantasy 7 Remake. This was my main motivation to acquire a Playstation 4. Im also a big fan of FF7, so take that in consideration while reading my review. Also being a fan helped me absorb the story and the materia system more easily.

    Everything in the game is very well made. Every little thing in the game is enjoyable. Played FF7 Remake about 15 hours a day until I finished it. It was a deep immersive experience where I left my friends asking "where are you" on social media for days.

    Many times I had to stop and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes. Some cutscenes and moments are the very best I saw in gaming, though I usually dislike the 'over the top' animations. There are few in the game but not much.

    The combat system, the major difference from the original, might divide fans. While I truly enjoyed the combat system on the original game, the new one is addictive for me. I want to replay the game just for the challenge of facing the Arena and VR challenge on hard mode (something I didnt care about in the original).

    I love how they expended the story, giving more attention to smaller characters like Jessie and Biggs. They did it to the point I became a fan of them. I didn't like the addiction of the Whispers very much, though. I felt a bit out of place. I understand the need of them but I don't think it was very well implemented. Everytime they appeared I felt they were disrupting the story and the flow of the game.

    The materia system is my favorite on RPG games though it feels not as good and additive like in the original game. I don't know why. Maybe it feels a bit simpler and not as relevant as in the original game.

    The big let down for me is I find the game a bit short, even for it being a part of a larger series. I usually spent 80 to 100 hours in triple A games on PS4 - playing it slow and saviouring the little details here and there. Usually when I finish the game I don't play it again. I beat it in about 40+ hours, finishing every side quest and collecting every item I could. It somehow makes me want to revisit the original game, which took me about 100 hours to beat. It was a life changing experience so I made the last the longer I could back in 1997, though I felt satisfied when it ended and didnt ask for more. Its a good sign the you are sad the game ended, right? It means you were enjoying the experience though not yet satisfied. The same didn't happen when I finished Death Stranding, for instance. There, I spent 100 hours and enjoyed almost everything, but in the end I was getting tired of it. Now I keep asking myself when will I play the sequels.

    This is the best gaming experience I had in decades. By far.

I really don't want to spoil anything, so I'll stop the review at this...

    GET THIS GAME. If you're new to Final Fantasy and you don't care to ever try another Final Fantasy game again in your life. At least give Final Fantasy 7 a shot because it's considered the pinnacle of the series. I already snagged a copy for a buddy of mine who has been gaming forever, but hasn't tried Final Fantasy.

There is a total of 18 chapters and most of them are very well made, there are some that need improvements like some of the boring side quests but even so there is fun to be had. But most importantly supporting all these aspects that I have mentioned is the soundtrack, it’s a perfectly polished soundtrack with amazing tunes that tense up the action hard! Final Fantasy 7 Remake really doesn’t feel like a remake which isn’t a bad thing at all, it’s 20-30 hour thriller with great chapters to enjoy an amazing combat system and an overall decent Story, this game sure will surprise many with its unique aspects and perfect soundtrack.

    - En el apartado jugable nos encontramos un juego con luces y sombras. Cuando manejamos a cualquiera de los personajes, especialmente a Cloud Strife que es el personaje principal, podemos acostumbrarnos muy rápido a ir corriendo a todas partes, el problema es cuando el juego te obliga literalmente a ir andando en lugares donde nop debería, dando una sensación de pérdida de control que se repite muy a menudo. Otra de esas sombras en el juego son aquellos momentos donde la cámara se mueve a placer. ya sea por algún punto de control donde quieren mostrarte algo, o el camino a seguir, que está muy bien, pero no cuando te arrebatan el control de la cámara por largo tiempo para mostrarte un lugar o edificio que se ve en 2 segundos y no necesitas 30. En cualquier caso, el juego en el apartado jugable está bastante pulido y por lo general se siente dinámico y fluido.
    Gráficos
    En el apartado gráfico sin duda nos encontramos ante un portento. Por lo general las texturas son de alta resolución, están bien implementadas y es un gustado observar detalle. Pero también tiene sombras, apartados poco trabajados que son fácilmente reconocibles ya que se recogen en 2 supuestos. Cada vez que miramos desde las barriadas a la plataforma sobre nosotros, observamos texturas de poca calidad, borrosas. Cada vez que miramos desde la plataforma al suelo a las barriadas, Nos ponen una especie de collage de edificios sin perspectiva, completamente plano que te sacan un poco de la historia y la última son las lejanías que tenemos el mismo problema 0 detalle. Digamos en en distancias cortas y dentro del mundo pasillo creado para que recorramos gráficamente es alucinante, más allá, todo elemento visible por el jugador da pena verlo.
    Música
    No me considero muy fan de la música de los Final Fantasy porque en numerosas ocasiones me parece que no pega la música con la acción que estamos viviendo. Entiendo su significado en FF de los años 90, a si que lo voy a entender en este remake y en el contexto de los Final Fantasy, entiendo que está bien aunque no me enamore.
    Historia
    - La historia me ha gustado bastante, sigue la tónica de cualquier FF, una lucha contra un mal superior y los héroes que emprenden dicha lucha. Los personajes me han parecido muy carismáticos y no resulta difícil empatizar con ellos. Los enemigos se vislumbran rápido y quedan envueltos por ese aroma a villano clásico que siempre me ha gustando.
    Duración
    - El juego, directo y sin hacer misiones secundarias unas 23 horas. Por lo que entreteniéndote un poco con él y haciendo algunas de las misiones que te proponen sube rápidamente a 30 horas. Creo que es preferible un juego disfrutable en 30 horas a uno de 100 horas. Yo no estoy en contra de que hayan decidido fraccionarlo siempre y cuando sea una causa justificada y en este caso me ha parecido un juego completo estas 23 - 30 horas jugadas.

    Taducción
    En el apartado del doblaje nos encontramos el mayor punto negro. En primer lugar no tiene doblaje al castellano que por supuesto ya por sí mismo es un punto negativo. Nos encontramos ante una copia en inglés. Almenos en inglés las voces están muy bien acompañadas y siguen ese aspecto jovial del juego, pero los subtítulos en castellano son una auténtica pesadilla. No dan una, se inventan las cosas respecto a la versión en inglés. Te de adelantan otras que no están diciendo los personajes. Omiten información, otra directamente la endulzan para que sea menos duro sin entender el motivo real. En definitiva un auténtico desastre. Es una indignación estar escuchando a los personajes en inglés y ver que los subtítulos no corresponden en absoluto a lo que están diciendo. No entiendo como pueden traducir un juego en modo "traducción libre" es incomprensible, ¿Os imagináis una película o serie donde los subtítulos siguen una pista a la película o serie original pero sin decir lo mismo? Creedme que es frustrante.

    This remake has taken its place now so far as my new favorite. The nostalgia of seeing things and places we have been before but never witnessing in hd even though my childhood memories make it think like it was hd due to graphics at the time is extremely satisfying and trippy. It has been a gaming experience like no other.

    The combat is fun and in my opinion unlike the original this game is actually challenging to find combinations of materias and offering new and exciting fights throughout the game.

    I will update this if I feel the ending changes my mind, but I also knew going into this that it wasn’t going to be the same and I love being able to get a new spin and expansion on the story even if major things are changed.

The characters, the main characters at least, are graphically well designed, but the NPCs not too much. The gestures and the facial expressions are terrible sometimes (I’m looking at you tongue movement). The combat system is a lazy effort. It is playable but still is a lazy effort with many errors. When a cutscene interrupts the limit break casting and the gauge becomes empty... what is this? Or when your fellow teammate pushes out the mob from under the sword strike while the animation of the ability is in progress... (and he is a ranged character why is he on the boss's face suddenly? Oh, I know, if you don't control the characters in every second, they are just standing somewhere, I don't know maybe they are thinking about the meaning of life, but sometimes they are all over the place and doing sh*t)) The camera movement is often messing with the targeting. And the whole system has just almost no depth. The side quests are clearly just cheap fillers... find 3 cats. Find 3 kids. Find 3 chocobos. Find 3 kids again. Find 3 disks. Kill that big monster. Go back and kill another big monster at the same place, or kill the exact same monster twice at the same location. The graphic is mixed, somewhere it is good, elsewhere the textures are horrible. The story is, well, maybe some Japanese Disney (or FFVII with Kingdom Hearts as ppl say, I don't know Kingdom Hearts too much, but I can imagine what they are talking about).
    All in all it has a mood, the fights are manageable (with a massive annoying factor), and I'm still playing with it after 72 hours so I can't say this is a bad game. It is just average. I understand that many people are strongly influenced by nostalgia factor, good for them, but this game is mediocre.

    How can they call this a remake? This isn't even a third of the original game's story, the characters are completely different and not for the better and most of them don't act like human beings or have identifying personality characteristics, just the same hyper-kawai nonsense from all, all serving tonal shifts that will leave you scratching your head.
    Chocobos? Nope. Open world? Nope.

    It's a very pretty cash grab (that has some jarringly poor texturing) and my girlfriend, who is a FFVII devotee doesn't want to play it anymore.

There’s plenty of nods to the original and fan boy moments when you recognise iconic scenes, props and moments recreated with care, love and respect for the source material. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and will relay until I have all trophies and platinum. I clocked in 55 hours completion time and spent a lot of time looking for secrets and chests. The ending I don’t want to spoil it but... well wait and see. It’s so good

    While I think calling this a remake is unfair with the changes, I think most people are being too hard on this one. The graphics aren’t bad, there is enough new content to give it a reason to exist, and it brings the game to the new generation.

    Overall, it's an amazing game. Around 35 hours of game play while digging a lot for side content.
    A good 80-90% of the game is flawless.
    Graphically, it's gorgeous, but the game seems to struggle to render textures from time to time, might come from the engine or the PS4 limitation, the game remains beautifull and the area diverse enough despite the whole game taking place in Midgar.

    The combat system is really well tied and a good mix between active combat and turn-per-turn. I struggled a bit with it at the beginning but once the get a hold of it, it's much easier. One thing that really annoys me is how some bosses will go invulnerable just for the sake of the scripts. Unleash a big hit/choc the boss and you get a cutscene mid-fight. It happened way too many time, you go into the "Should I use this Limit Break or not, will the boss be invulnerable at half HP or not".
    You also have very confusing boss mechanics. Which attack can be dodge, which can be parried? The parry/counter command is clear enough, but when it comes to dodge/parry, it's completely different.

    The UI is cool, nothing to say, it's easy to navigate and to use.

    Story wise, that's where the game lost 2 points for me.
    First, there is too much Sephiroth appearance. I understand that he must appear, otherwise in a 1:1 remake we would not see Sephiroth at all.
    The thing is, he appears and act way too much, more than family calls&message you receive on your birthday. Most of the time, it's only to say "Hi Cloud".

    Second, the last chapters.
    I did not expect a 1:1 scenario and I enjoyed more than 30 hours of the game. But it honestly feels like the team took the original script, the spin-off game scripts and wiped their asses with it to write their own fanfiction. In my opinion, SE did not understood what FF7 fans loved. In the original, there was nothing such as fate, godlike being or simply old things/concepts that controls the humans. (Those are just examples, not spoilers)
    The floating ghosts that appears a lot in the game are the main reason why the story will be change and there was no need of them. I really hope SQEX will not reuse them in the following parts.

    Without the second point, the game would have been a 10/10.

    When FF7R adds depths to existing content, it's great, amazing. When it rewrites the original material, it feels like a 10 year old fanfiction.

The story itself is mesmerizing as it follows what happened in the original to a t but also adds its own uniqueness to it. Overall I wasn't disappointed would be 5 stars but had couple of pet peeves, like the lv system. The lv system dosen't really feal like it matters much in the game compared to the original, instead it's more for powering up your weapons and lv your materia, but the lv doesn't do much for overall damage. On just normal difficulty can have you frustrated as the best way to take down enemies is to stagger them and hit them hard while they are down however it's not always easy to accomplish as lots of enemies have resistances as well as specific requirements to get the stagger bar to move up and some you stagger get back up almost immediately making it difficult to get good damage in. If you don't have the right materia in your weapons when you get into a fight it will also be a frustratingly uphill battle as certain enemies can't be harmed much unless you use the elemental materia. Don't want to play the game on hard since even on normal you can still lose to the same boss fifteen or more times. Battles could use a little revamp for damage and hopefully when the second part comes out with the open world they will take it into consideration. Overall fantastic storytelling, amazing quality picture,beautiful music, and tedious battles. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was one of the main games I looked forward to for the past couple of years. I love how they expanded on the original characters along with added new ones.

    The combat system is not very fun and I wish they would have stayed with the original turn based system. The combat felt very repetitive. Triangle and parry was like 90% of the combat. They also have enemies that fly and in the original that was fine cause you could still attack them. In the remake the animation you have to do before u get to the enemy means they can move and your attack misses this happens a lot and is super annoying when you use you limit break because it will miss the enemy. Speaking of limit breaks when fighting a boss since they not have stages and cutscenes if you use your limit break right around the same time they do a cutscenes for a boss you will waste your limit break and not cause any damage to the boss this is super annoying when you are fighting harder bosses like Rufus who use cutscenes way to fricken much. Some of the pee on enemies feel very unbalanced and more difficult to kill then they should be this caused the fight to drag on where they felt like sponges.

    The story for the first 15 hours before you get to the Shinra building was amazing. They took and expanded on the original game and added new characters and some story changes that made everything coherent. However once you get to the Shinra building the reimagining of the story brought this game from a 8 to a 6 for me. The fact that you now have time travel, multiple time lines and the ability to destroy "Destiny" i.e kill the OG story killed it for me.
    They setup the game so when the next one comes out they don't have to follow the story and can do their own thing. You can see that by then bringing back Zack and completely undoing Advent Children and will probably undo Aeriths Death along with some other big beats the original game had it saddens me because I was expecting a remake not a reimagining.

    Another thing that pissed me off was Red he was not playable and I did not know that because I stayed away from all FF7 news. He was my main party member in the OG game and their reason for not letting you play him is the dumbest thing I have heard. They claim they would have to build attacks and things like that for him and it didn't make sense for them to do that because he's only in the later part of the game but he FIGHTS ALONG SIDE YOU! That means they built those attacks out anyways even his limit break so the real reason they don't want you to play as him is because in disk 2 they probably don't want you to play as him. Since this remake follows a different timeline they can do crap like that and get away with it. I spent $60 and got my money worth but will not be buying the next one instead I will watch it on YouTube especially since they are going to completely undo the original game.

    Lo que me parece mal son los nuevos personajes con 0 relevancia y que son para meter paja y que no sea un juego de 10 horas, han cambiado la historia y no estaría mal si no fuese un despropósito, en el original ya veía mal como tratan el tema de Zack pero aquí es incluso peor, hubiese sido mejor el no sacar el tema. La banda sonora creo que las músicas de escenario son mejores porque tiene variaciones y acompañan muy bien, pero las músicas de batalla y en específico la de jefe creo que han perdido su fuerza y los que las hacían míticas o al menos es la sensación que he tenido a lo largo de este juego.
    En conclusión, es un juego con un final que lo único que hace es que los jugadores tengan que jugar al original o esperar unos añitos para que sepas algo más de esta historia. Yo lo hubiese vendido como un reboot y no como un remake.

The boss fights are also really entertaining. And last but not least, the English voice actors did a great job. Sadly, watching the cinematographic faces and flashy movements of the superbly designed characters, certainly won’t be enough to please FF7 fans, nor RPG fans in general. So now that I’ve covered the good stuff, time for the bad news:

    First issue I noticed was the change in music. In the original the music was quite central, even loud most of times, but now it has been relegated to a “background” level, sometimes it is even unnoticeable, which strips the ambience from a lot of its former magic. Some moments were even left inexplicably silent.

    More about the ambience. The backgrounds were adapted to 3D with care (mostly), but they were also enlarged. Now this is a bad thing because they are only larger in size, not in content, so they ended up being a bit lifeless and uninteresting. Like… Nothing really happens anywhere. People, buildings… are mostly decorative. There are some side quests here and there, but mostly generic busy-work.

    But the previous are minor issues. The real problem with the title is the story (and the story-telling itself). They got a tiny part of the original game and, following the same logic of quantity over quality they followed with the backgrounds, enlarged the plot to colossal proportions filling it with uninteresting or downright tedious content. Every addition I encountered in the main plot, damaged a little bit more the impeccable image of the original. A good example of how this played so wrong is characters new dialogue: in the original they remained quiet except for the critical moments, giving you but a charismatic hint of their personalities and letting your imagination fill the gaps, your mind building the best version of themselves as you always do when reading a book. In the remake however, they have been given a huge amount of lines, turning the book into a movie, the problem is the dialogue is mostly uninteresting blabber that transformed these old great characters into generic anime clichés. The story telling is also messed up. Debussy once said “Music is the silence between the notes.“, and this means a good story, just like a good sonata, needs some relaxed parts between the more important moments, that serve the player to grasp some air before the new action comes. This was elegantly done in the original, but in the remake the silence is tedious and boring, and the notes are constantly played at such a high volume, dramatized to such an absurd, that one wonders if this can be considered real music or simply noise. To add some salt to injury, all this is marketed with a misleading "remake" label at 70€.

    Dramatic yet shallow, with a clueless direction, and a boring ride that you will finish purely out of nostalgia.

    After 5 years of waiting, this game was certainly worth the wait and an amazing RPG altogether. After spending 138 hours to 100% this, it was worth every penny. There was a bit of grind to level up to take on hard mode, but I don't regret playing it a second time. I would highly recommend this game to people interested - it is a very fun game!

    Firstly the negatives. The graphics for NPCs can often look horrible. not every NPC needs to look amazing but at least make the ones you interact with for the story better looking. Also, there are several instances where Square Enix have just inserted JPEG backgrounds for levels and it is really obvious. It just ruins the feel of the game as there are a lot of backgrounds that look stunning. The voice acting and lip syncing for NPCs is also really bad. This kind of stuff is unforgivable given that Square had 5+ years to perfect this.

    Now for the positives. Firstly, the models for the main characters are stunning. Truly amazing and conform to the FF trend of characters looking amazing. The voice acting is also superb for the four main protagonists, as well as side characters like Jessie. At least Square didn't miss the mark in this department.

    The game builds on characters really well and you really feel for the characters. I did cry once or twice and I have to tell you I don't cry much these days for films, tv, video games etc.

    The battle system is really fun and quick to learn. I highly recommend using the 'Assess' materia ability to learn the weaknesses of opponents and how to beat them. The bosses are really well designed and aren't that easy on Normal mode. I can safely say that some were quite challenging.

    The overall story is very good. yes some parts are stretched out but it allows for greater character development. There are also not a lot of side quests so it doesn't feel like endless grinding.

    I can't wait for the next parts of this wonderful game and re-imagining of FF7.

    This game was good until you get to the Shina HQ. However after that my experience goes into the trash. I was expecting changes, however nothing like this. It's a slap in the face. It ruined the game for me. I'm very concerned about the series as a whole going forward. It's just like the last of us part 2. Advertised to be something its not.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before the game release, Square Enix said that they would add "little additions" to the story, but these "little additions" totally ruined the whole remake. It would have been fine if Square Enix told me they would be changing the plot a lot. The story was changed drastically in the last chapter, which is very disappointing. I feel like I got tricked after playing chapter 17 and 18.

    I accept plot change if the decisions that the characters made were reasonable, but the remake was unable to convince me. To me, the biggest question is why Aerith wanted to change her fate. The group saved the world in the original game, but after defeating the whispers, they may be unable to do so this time. The game failed to explain why Aerith took this risk and decided to change her fate. Also, the existence of whispers was unnecessary and incomprehensible. You can just let the characters act differently from the original game, and explain why they made a different choice this time.

    I also did not like the filler chapters, such as chapter 10, 11 and 15.

    The graphics, music and combat system were great so I did not rate this game 0.

    SquareEnix advertised this game with a "Classic mode" that should appeal to the Fans of the Classic Turn-Based Final Fantasy games. To a Classic Turn-Base Final Fantasy Fan this feels like a punch in the face.
    The classic mode is basically an Action-RPG that plays itself and occasionaly allows you to pick some actions. In the battles with regular enemies it's rather annoying to even pick actions, because the characters beat the enemies even if you don't do anything. So why even bother to do something? Also most of the time the enemies are almost dead by the time your ATB-gauge is filled.
    Except for bigger "HP-Sponge" enemies, that take forever to beat, but don't even have any mechanics to make the fight fun. They just seem to be there, to extend the playtime.
    And in Boss-Battles the ATB-gauge fills way to slow and for the characters you don't control the ATB-gauge almost doesn't fill at all. So you either have to switch back and forth between the characters, all the time, or you just control one character, while the others are completely useless.
    And the Action Combat does not work, because constantly picking actions and switching between characters makes it tedious. SquareEnix tried to make a game thats a Turn-Based and Action RPG in one but actually this game fails at both.

    Since the gameplay was this horrible i didn't play very far. So i can't say much about the story or the world. The characters seemed to be designed very well. But this is just a drop in the ocean.

The game was definitely made for a new audience and not much care was given to those that played it in the past. I found the combat to be such a chore that I don't think that I will finish the other parts once they come out with how poor the combat is now. trying to imagine all the bosses and parts from the original in the new combat system seems like a very grindy chore and not one that would be worth mashing buttons for. Also having enemies you cant even hit with certain characters is one of the most annoying and outright stupid thing i have encountered yet. yes lets have an enemy that can just shoot from the sky and kill your chars while the ones on the ground are bashing you over and over till you cant potion anymore and you die. I don't believe almost any of the reviews here that gave it anything over a 7 played the original at all. If this was your "perfect" game then the rest of your life is going to me a huge let down. Don't expect anything you enjoyed from the original other than some story and the chars. Other than that its a completely different game.

    FF7R is NOT a traditional JRPG. It's an extremely linear action adventure with a terribly implemented battle system and limited opportunities to get a feel for the mechanics--especially if you push through the main plot. Your "adventuring" is reduced to mostly claustrophobic "hallways" and being forced along the narrative path.

Your "adventuring" is reduced to mostly claustrophobic "hallways" and being forced along the narrative path.

    Every action in combat requires a portion of an ATB gauge--including using items. Enemies will spam cheesy attack after cheesy attack. Your allies' AI is unreliable at best, and managing a full party in the heat of battle is beyond tedious. It feels like the devs couldn't decide between real-time action and turn-based tactics, so they mashed them together in the worst way. Ugh.

    The visuals range from beautiful vistas and character details to fugly low-res textures--often within the same scene. The voice-acting is decent, but the cringe-worthy writing could cause even the most hardcore anime fan to wince. Music and sound effects are functional, but almost entirely forgettable.

    The nostalgia factor wears off after the first few hours, leaving the mediocrity plain to see for anyone not wearing rose-tinted glasses and neck-deep in denial. Seriously--I loved playing through the original FF7 no less than three times, but trudging through this slog is a test of willpower.

    FF7R has its moments, but all too often descends into long stretches of exposition dotted with a few chaotic battles and large quantities of fanboy filler. I only played it because it was free through PS Plus. Wait for a sale.

    FF7R is not a perfect game, but my GOD, if there was ever a game made in the pursuit of perfection, this would be among them. (Before anyone says anything, a 10/10 does not mean a game is perfect; it does mean it is a masterpiece and deserves to be part of your gaming library.)

    FF7R is not a perfect game, but my GOD, if there was ever a game made in the pursuit of perfection, this would be among them. (Before anyone says anything, a 10/10 does not mean a game is perfect; it does mean it is a masterpiece and deserves to be part of your gaming library.)

    FF7R does a daring approach to combine its modern action-based gameplay seen in more recent games like FF15 and the Kingdom Hearts series, with the classic menu-based approach of more traditional FF games. The result is a big payoff as it creates an exciting, yet tactical based style of combat that slows down time to a crawl when selecting Menu abilities for your spells, items, and big ticket attacks. This style of combat feels like a true evolution of both the traditional menu and action-based gameplay.

    Those familiar with the story and characters of FF7 will largely know what to expect, but FF7R throws a few curveballs here and there that will take everyone by surprise. Secondary characters from the original game have been expanded in the narrative, and new characters are also introduced and play significant roles as the story unfolds. The characters are surprisingly well acted in English, save a few cringey lines and hammy delivery (more of a script problem than the actors themselves, honestly). Overall it's the characters that are FF7R's strongest aspect, and they will leave a lasting impression on the player.

    Whatever criticisms anyone has of this game, almost everyone can universally agree on one thing: THE SOUNDTRACK IS PHENOMENAL! Nobuo Uematsu REALLY flexes his musical muscles in this game, as there is a huge variety of tracks and remixes that will never sound repetitive! If you are an audiophile like myself, you will buy this soundtrack immediately after finishing this game!

    Now to talk about the flaws of the game. The camera angle is awfully close and can be a hassle in small spaces. There are some sections of the game that definitely feel like padding. Some of the NPCs can look like marionettes instead of actual people. And finally, if you're an old FF7 fan expecting this game to have the entire story in one go, you're not going to be happy. This game takes place exclusively in the Midgar portion of the original game, albeit it has been expanded in scope to a massive degree. The sheer level of detail and content added to Midgar does justify the game being split, as from a development point of view, there is no way a full FF7 with this much scope could possibly fit in one game, let alone be worth only $60.

    The ending is also going to be controversial, as from this point is where it deviates from the original story line. It should be noted that FF7R was intended to actually be a sequel - you'll find out why as the game unfolds.

    All in all, this game's flaws are overwhelmingly dwarfed by its positive aspects. This has so far been my most enjoyable gaming experience in the first half of 2020. Even though the deviancy in story at the end concerns me as a long time FF fan, part of me can't wait to see what the rest of the Remake series has to offer.

    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?
