The animation is 10/10 and the battle style is final Fantasy at its best, combining Crisis cores, kingdom hearts and FF Xv game style for the best. The characters are all fleshed out in an interesitng way. The ending although questionable it leaves so many questions unanswered that i really really want to learn about.. So ffvii Pt2 Come out already :D.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ce jeu est incroyable et m'a fait vivre de grande émotion ! Il vaut son pesant d'or et il est clairement dans mon top 3. Le fait d'avoir une fin différente de l'original amène un vent de fraîcheur et permet d'augmenter l'excitation en vue du prochain. La relation entre les personnages est naturelle et bien écrite. Les boss sont mémorables, particulièrement la maison et Sephiroth.

    Les seuls **** défauts sont parfois la facilité à laquelle on peut battre les ennemis de base en normal (Je n'ai pas encore joué en difficile), les combats aériens (il faut absolument les gérer avec Aerith ou Barrett si possible) et certaines quêtes annexes. Pour ce dernier point, je dirai que la majorité de celles-ci sont plaisantes à faire et dépende de vous.

    buen sistema de combate para un FF, pero definitibamente no es FF7, se supone que estiran la historia para poder contar mas sobre la trama, pero si quitases el capitulo 14, el 16 y el tramo final del ultimo capitulo, te quedabas igual, no te perderias nada, no aportan nada, estirado artificialmente y sin escusas para ser vendido por fasciculos.

    Let’s be clear with something: FF VII IS a good game. Nonetheless, it does have its flaws (what game doesn’t, anyway?)

Nonetheless, it does have its flaws (what game doesn’t, anyway?)

    If you see some early videos from 2015 and compare the final game, you can see that Square Enix did a serious effort to actually make a good game that lives up to the hype. When I first read this project would be lead by Tetsuya Nomura I could only prepare for the worst... Both FFXV and KH3 weren’t exactly a good game, in fact, both of them if they didn’t have the franchise name would be games nobody would played to begin with. So, when I first grabbed my control, and played the opening chapter was delighted to se that everything that was done bad in the past, this time was corrected.

    Many complain about battle system and I can imagine it’s people that didn’t played FF XV (the first with real-time combat). Everything that had issues, it’s fully functional, even the use of magic and items and the fact that only pressing the attack button will make you die, so that you actually have to use your head to think what’s convenient for you speaks really well on the effort in this regard.

    Oh the technical aspect, this game truly reaches the limit of PS4. Many textures really have bad quality, but the vast majority does not. Actually, the draw distance is IMMENSE and due to this many scenes have such an impact, also, the characters have so much detail so you can apréciate the effort to make them look so unique. Square Enix really took serious efforts in this regard, I do not particularly think graphics should be something to mention that much nowadays, but this game DO makes its pathway forwards recognition in this area. Every animation, scenario, cinematic, dialogue, OST is carefully crafted: there’s lots of quality in pretty much everything you see or do in this game. As I stated before since the first couple of trailers back on 2015 Square Enix had a clear idea on how to make this game, yet really polished the game so it would be so special.

    What about the plot? It’s interesting, but sometimes I get the feeling that storytelling looses its path. Many things take its time to settle and/or make sense. Speaking of which: this game is relatively short (about 40 hours). it doesn’t even cover 1/3 of the original game, so it makes me wonder how much time it will take to actually see the full story on remake. Despite enjoying this game, it’s not the full story and this game took 5 years to finally hit the shelves... how many years will have to wait?

    Another thing to mention is the fact that they’re selling this game again with some extra DLC... EXACTLY for this kind of things I rate this game with 9. This could be a 10 or the best game in the. Entire history, instead, we get a really good game.    … Expand

    Бесплатная демоверсия FF7 Remake заставила меня пройти FFXV . И, знаете, сделал я это не без интереса. 80 часов хорошего роуд трипа со своими минусами и плюсами.

    Разумеется, после приключений Ноктиса и компании как никогда захотелось и дальше получать удовольствие от номерных частей серии. И вот, - руки дошли до FF7 Remake.

    Если коротко, - бегите ее покупать или заберите сейчас в PS+ пока есть время)
    Это достойный проект с кучей юмора, интересных персонажей и увлекательных кат-сцен.
    И про геймплей не забыли! От боев получаешь драйв. При этом играешь вдумчиво, не просто бьешь по кнопкам, а порой выстраиваешь целые комбинации.

    Про сюжет говорить сложно, так как я, считайте, только-только познакомился с франшизой. И, если хотите узнать побольше: почитайте Wiki о вселенной FF, посмотрите видео на схожую тематику или на крайняк, - читайте в рецензиях других пользователей. Порой встречаются очень достойные ответы на Лор. Но поосторожней там... Cпойлеры!!! От себя добавлю, что все это очень интересно смотреть. Привыкаешь к персонажам, следишь за сюжетом. И главное, с повествованием у игры проблем нет.

    Графика достойная. На консольной железяке увидеть такую красивую экспозицию крайне приятно. Конечно, встречаются мыльноватые текстуры, подгружающиеся объекты, но, что поделать, - бывает. Все это не мешает наслаждаться общей картинкой.

    Несмотря на то, что игре уже почти год, - она все еще актуальна. Не бойтесь попробовать в нее поиграть)

    По моему субъективному мнению, твердая 9 из 10. Я очень рад, что поиграл в этот шедевр. И вам советую. Главное - начать.

The story, the combat, the more in-depth characterization. I loved the original. I love turn based RPGs. I also loved this game, even though it was wildly different. Nostalgia glasses aside (because, yes, I teared up when seeing Midgar and all the characters rendered so beautifully), this is a solid game, especially for the Final Fantasy franchise which somehow has become a better MMO developer than single player RPG developer.

    I feel the FF franchise has just wanted to make movies, and a lot of the gameplay and cohesion suffer greatly because of that (since FFX). The Remake has a lot of that movie studio polish and a new battle engine, but I found it enjoyable and engaging for *most* of the run.

    I have played this game almost 4 times through now and it has been out for almost 1 year. Where the game shines is the battle system, and how you can configure each character to your liking (though they still have their areas of excellence). Unfortunately the depth of the combat with weapons, accessories, and materia cannot be fully realized until Hard Mode is unlocked. I wish that depth could happen in a single play through, but I am no game developer and I wouldn't know how to make that happen.

    Playing through again on Hard Mode is all about the battle system and getting the most out of your play style. The Normal mode (or Easy or Classic) is there to engross you in the story. If you look at it this way, I think it's rather nice. Story first, then putting nose to the grind stone with a stronger battle mode.

    This game is far from perfect. Fortunately, or unfortunately, games lately, especially in the FF franchise, have been less than good. So the parts that are not great are still better or the same as other FF title issues.

    Some issues are the padded quests. They can get a little annoying for sure. There are also the mandatory shuffle-through-tight-space events. Really unnecessary. The textures issue is egregious, but I am giving them the benefit of the doubt and hoping it is fixed for the PS5 release in June 2021. Another sad point is that one of the characters towards the end loses characterization and becomes the cryptic exposition machine that Square Enix loves. I want to give the game an 8.5, but since I cannot, I will give it a 9 for the magic it brought back to the characters and world of FF7.

    One stellar part of the Remake is how they treat and characterize Cloud. Much better job than the original. And their handling of Wall Market and the transformation was so well done and very socially aware. I know a lot were worried about this portion and I can't think of a better way of handling it than they did in the game. Bravo FF7R team.

    I am excited for the Yuffie DLC and the next installment.    … Expand

Although if you played the original and loved it, then this is not the FF7 remake we deserved. After playing the game and experiencing the new mechanics and expanded story I can say that it is ok. Simply ok. They completely changed some key points of the story, re-worked areas to satisfy a new audience (which sacrifices the original stories impact) and made some horrible dungeons that were clearly made to pad out the game and increase game time. The dungeons are just terrible and add nothing to the story or game play. The side quests are boring, primarily fetch quests and typical “go here and kill that”. Most of the things they added simply turned out to just pad out the game. This game should have only been 10 hours long if they removed all the unnecessary boring dungeons and side quests. And it would have been a solid and enjoyable 10 hours. The soundtrack of the original game was the heartbeat of the game and the remake just massively underplays it and creates terrible “modern” versions of it. Hopefully they will add DLC where you can select to have the original sound track play in the background instead of the new music. Frankly after playing this game, this should have been a shot by shot remake with added and expanded dialogue and the expanded story of the other characters. A massive let down overall, don’t get your hopes up.… Expand

    While I certainly prefer my RPG's to be turn based I'm not entirely opposed to action RPG's if the combat is done really well and is fun but that just isn't the case here. I knew it was going to be action combat style but I was hoping for something along the lines of Dragons Dogma but FFVII "Remake" fall far flat in comparison. The combat in FFVII "Remake" is more annoying an frustrating than anything else.

    Overall it was great to see the characters I love in glorious modern graphics but the game itself, the gameplay just felt like something I had to force myself to push through to get to the end and by that time I was very thankful it was over. After it's all said and done, FFVII "Remake" felt like FFVII LIte edition to me, so much of the epicness was gone yet I still feel it when I play the original.

    The original FFVII is my favorite game of all time and I wanted to love this game but I don't, to me it's just a huge disappointment and I mostly feel bad for the people who were expecting a Final Fantasy game who bought a PS4 just to play this. Thankfully it only cost me $60.00 and 45 hours but what hurts the worst is knowing Square has decided to kill off the original Final Fantasy turn based formula and that's really unfortunate.    … Expand

    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.

    Not bad, but focusing a full game on what used to be a 4-hour segment in the original is not a move I would have recommended. Because much of the game is filler or them spreading a 20-minute event over 4 hours, a lot of the game I spent trying to "get through" in order to advance the story.

I'd rather play the game normally and at the end get to a point where you have full access to the map, all characters, side quests, etc. (like in the original FFVII).

    Also they simplified the battle and materia system so much that you end up playing through the battles with the same 2-3 combos over and over again. Have your characters attack, charge up their ATB for skills, heal occasionally, and run circles around the enemy. That's pretty much it for every random encounter and boss battle. By the end of the game I was pretty much ignoring 80% of my materia.    … Expand

This game is a wonderful release of the game i know has many of the story elements with a few twist on them to make them fresh to old fans who remember all the cs from the original and played many times. they show stuff from the future from the extra side missions as part of twist for the newish story line. The base story is still the same SAVE THE PLANET and eventually stop Sephiroth. Graphics for a PS4 game are well done sure some textures seem low res I dont know if its limits of a console or rush but they dont break you out of the game play. HDR looks great. Mini games are hard as hell. Someone said Normal is hard for no reason I personally did thing it was to hard. I did everything in the first play took about 35 hours.

It is just one really good epic story. With great characters an awesome world to explore. And the visuals. The game really looks good. One thing that stands out for me. Is just the huge amount of detail put into it, I can tell that it’s a PS4 game and I can only image new games will look even better. For instance. Many textures are low quality due to obvious limitations of the PS4. But even so the game clearly shows that other developers could do a lot more to make a world stand out. This was one of the first games I actually felt like the world was alive simply because of all the people talking around any city hub. It is just impossible to hear every single conversation but that’s ok. The fact that those conversations are based on player actions just makes it even more rewarding.It’s a game with all those elements that clearly show that it’s a game, But it’s a movie as well. A really good movie by the way. Awesome storytelling that just makes me want to see what happens next. You must play this. I’m extremely confident that given what I’ve seen in this game, that future sequels on PS5 will be jaw dropping. They really know what makes a world look epic.… Expand

O jogo poderia ser completo e não apenas a primeira parte em midgar, infelizmente foram adicionados chefes que não existem na versão original do game, e em minha opinião isso foi feito apenas para estender o game ao máximo, o jogo original é de longe superior a essa versão remaster, que só traz como benefício mecânicas de combate mais atualizadas e melhores gráficos, de resto pecou pelo excesso de combate e lutas desnecessárias, a Square Enix disse que o game foi lançado dessa forma para entregar uma versão mais completa aos fãs, mas não foi o que eu vi, faltou um cuidado maior nos gráficos e na história, alguns personagens secundários que morrem no original não morrem nessa versão e esse tipo de mudança é negativa no jogo. Em resumo o game só começa a ficar bom no final já que o começo é simplesmente uma tentativa de deixar o game enorme para que pudesse ser vendido como um jogo completo, coisa que não é, a Square Enix tinha um jogo fantástico em mãos que era o ff7 original, bastava atualizar os gráficos para a geração atual e não mudar a história de maneira tão grotesca, pra quem é fã a sensação é apenas de tristeza já que o game poderia ser melhor que a própria versão original como aconteceu com resident evil 2, mas não aconteceu aqui, esperar tanto tempo por um remaster e jogar um jogo incompleto é triste, como fã a versão original sempre vai ser melhor já que é honesta com o público em relação aquilo que é comercializado.… Expand

    The game looks good. But it is not a Remake along the lines of RE2 remake which is the same story.


    They make stupid anime changes to this story which is a travesty given how good the original game was all they had to do was use that basis.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not a remake. This is a new game with favourite heroes and mew story, that is partially lended from the origianal. It is a new story with old characters. Why do you make a game with the demo episode that is directly taken
    Story - 5/10 if you do not compare it with the original game, If you do - 2/10
    Battle system - 9/10 simple, fun and dynamic
    Music - 7/10
    Main characters - 10/10. The are really amazingly designed, voicing is cool.
    Minor characters - 1/10. Characters are soulsless, you don't feel any sympathy toward them. Their stories are boring, unattractive (Angel of Slums, really?? I don't even remember other persons, because they are all empty and unimportant). If you remove these characters, it won't be noticed, just save you some hours of gameplay
    Setting - 2/10. The only thing you see around is factory, corridors of factories. Welcome to Final Factory VII.
    The game is initially proloned, You have to pull hundreds of triggers and crawl betwenn walls that will cost you if you sum it up about 2 hours.Exploration is impossible, you have only several locations where you can walk, they are almost the same.
    Mini games - just skip it, don't even want to talk about it. when i played them the only thought i had was: do i realle have nothing better to do? why do i have to crack the boxes to get actually nothing for it. or why do i have to pull up for nothing?
    if you consider this game as a new one unrelated to final fantasy vii the game is average, not more. But if you consider it as a remake, it is a loss, waste of time. The story is cut, no any suspence, Sephiroth, the icon and the representaion of power and fear in ffvii original, is just a puppy that shows up everywhere.
    At the very beginning i was aware that the game is going to be limited by Midgar only and expected some continuation with an open world. But when i finished this game i wished only that this game would be the end. you have no one and nothing to fight with and for, this game really is finished.

Wieso?  Weil: der inhalt absolut lächerlich ist. Manche sagen es beinhaltet 15% vom original. Ich sage vlt 1% vom original. Hat man midgar abgeschlossen war es das. Wobei selbst das nur eine light version vom original ist. Die meisten dungeon artigen bereiche wie kanalisation oder U-bahn wurden gekürtzt, rätzel und knobelaufgaben wurden gekürzt oder weggelassen. Loot truhen weggelassen oder mit heiltränken aufgefüllt.  Gegenstände im algemeinen  sind sinnfrei. Im schwierigkeitsgra normal  oder leicht brauch man sie nicht und auf schwer kann man sie nicht nutzen. Das kampfsystem ist auf leicht und normal ganz passabel aber auf schwer eher nervig. Die gegner können ganze serien von atacken starten ohne castzeit und können nicht unterbrochen werden. Der user muss aber castzeiten abwarten und kann auch noch durch jeder noch so kleinen hit unterbrauchen werden,. Hinzu kommt das die manapunkte oder atb balken trotzdem verbraucht werden.  Ebenfalls schlecht ist das balancing  der schadenswerte. Macht man auf schwer selber zwischen 20-500 scjaden, esper machen max 4k schaden, hauen bosse im schnitt 3k-5k schaden raus. Bei maximal 10k life könnt ihr euch denken wieviele hits man abbekommen darf. Dazu kommt das die nicht aktiv gespielten charaktere nur rumstehen und nur selten angreifen. Dementsprechend füllt sich auch nicht ihre atb leiste, falls also der aktive char. stirbt muss man erst fighten bis man wiederbeleben kann. Der nächste schachpunkt alle aktionen verbrauchen atb ich muss mich also immer entscheiden heile ich mich oder ruf einen esper oder greife ich an, mit der gefahr das ich einen grossen hit bekomme und dan tot bin. Da man wärend der castzeit und der ausführung weiter schaden bekommen kann. Und meistens sogar unterbrochen wird. Nächster schachpunkt. Limit und esper skill dauern viel zulange bis man sie nutzen kann. Auf leicht und normal konnte ich sie gar nicht nutzen und auf schwer nur bei endbosse. Nächster schachpunkt, die kampfanzahl. Es gibt keine zufallskämpfe mehr das heisst wenn ich straith durchlaufe komme ich auf max. 150 kämpfe. Viel zu wenig. Was ich auch schlecht empfinde ist das verhältniss spielzeit und film schaun. Öfters schaut man minutenlang film um dann 3 schritte zu machen und der nächste film beginnt. Videosequenzen sind toll aber ich will spielen und keinen film schauen. Minispiele wie bankdrücken funktionieren nicht wie im tutorial beschrieben Das motorad minispiel ist unschaffbar auf schwer mit perfekt abzuschliessen. Man kann froh sein wenn man es mit katastrophal abschliesst. Das kistenspiel ist zwar schaffbar aber man muss etliche versuchen starten da immer kisten kilometer wegfliegen und man alle kisten zerhaun muss um die trophäe zu bekommen. Und da für ist der timer zuknapp. Also alle minispiele sind eher nervig als unterhaltsam. Ein weiterer schwachpunkt ist das finden oder eine übersicht von nicht spielerelevanten aufgaben. Wie zb das blumengesteck beim hälmchenhof oder die sachen zu corneos brautschau usw. Ich weiss das ist absicht aber ich würde ein bischen mehr transparents beführworten. Ebenfalls nervig ist wenn man walkpassagen hat wo alle protagonisten irgendwo lang gehen die collisionsabfrage ist total sinnlos, da das ein reines rumgestolper und geschubse ist. Durch sowas so komisch sich das anhört aber es holt einem aus dem spielfluss und man hat selten das gefühl im spiel "drinn" zusein. Für mich gibt es noch viel mehr schlechtes wie zb. die musikstücke die man finden kann. Ich glaube bis auf goldsaucer theme sind alle anderen irgendwelche remixe und nicht mal halbwegs am original sind. Solangsam geht mir aber der platz aus. Ich möchte aber auch sagen das grafisch, musikalisch und cineastisch absolut höchstes niveau geboten wird und das ist auch der grund wieso ich ff7 remake, was eigentlich ff 7 remake trailer heissen müsste nicht 1 punkt sondern 4 gebe. Zusammen gefasst würde ich sagen ff7 remake ist zwar bugfrei und ein fest fürs aber alles andere  einfach schlecht gemacht ist. Erst recht wenn ich dafür 70€ bezahlt habe und so wie es aussieht, für jede kommende erweiterung wieder zahlen muss.und bei der menge was fehlt wird das richtig teuer ich rechne insgesamt nicht unter1k €. Ich hoffe ich konnte euch helfen. Ich möchte aber auch noch festhalten das ich im algemeinen den qualitativen schnitt von square/enix als unter durchschnittlich bewerten würde.

The AI partners need to be micromanaged and the bosses are spongy. In 2020, this is not acceptable. AI partner play styles (aggressive, passive, support, etc) has been a norm.

The Remake has happened and as a long-term fan, who played the original in 1997 (which, by the way, made me a video game enthusiast that I am now), I'm incredibly torn (meaning: disappointed). Everyone already knows the obvious: yes, the visuals are gorgeous, the music is amazing, all the fan-service and easter eggs are there, and all of that could and will make a senior FF7 fan shed a tear of nostalgic joy. The fact that this is a Midgar-only installment is controversial not without a reason, and the expanded, or even altered at some points, story, will rub some fans the wrong way. But I won’t talk about this, as this has been discussed ad nauseum already.

    What I want to focus on is the general atmosphere of the game, something that I’ve already seen in FFXV, and which not only annoys me, but also is, in my opinion, slightly disturbing (yes, the word is correct).

    No, not only the fact that the game is a PG-16 title, and most of the dialogues and themes seem to be directed at 10 year olds. No, I wasn’t expecting something at the level of The Last of Us, but I was slightly hoping that the game, at least in some portion, will be directed at people who played the original, who are sometimes well over 30, and expect the game to grow up with them. Unfortunately, it’s not the case, but this can be forgiven easily, given that the developers need their income, and apparently there are many more gamers younger than 20 than older than 30. No biggie, I can seriously plough through this and even enjoy it at times, it’s an entertainment after all, not the philosophical alternative cinema club.

    What I can’t savour though is the share amount of completely generic, uninspired, boring and sometimes downright shallow amount of content, seen mostly in the side quests, but sometimes even in the main arc. The game is stretched to impossibility by side quests which literally say “go there and kill that”, which wouldn’t be that bad if it wasn’t just that, Cloud is a mercenary after all, and having any background for grinding is, or at least seems to, be always better than having to background at all. But when a mercenary, who blows up equivalents of our nuclear reactors killing hundreds of people in the process takes up an order to kill a few rats in the backyard from a whimpy twink, who also has the gall to say pretentious stuff like “you did it, I knew you would, you’ll be a mercenary in no time”, this is when I need a coffee break, possibly for a day or two. The side content not only seems to be rammed in the game well after the postproduction to artificially extend the play time, but also seems to be made by people who not only have never played Final Fantasy 7, but who haven’t played any Final Fantasy game at all, and the only point of reference for them are MMOs, and only those less ambitious ones. I would really be less offended if the full play time was 10 hours, or that the only way to get some additional levels was to mindlessly run in circles in a dungeon. Seriously.

    This, and also the fact that the vast majority of the main story that was added or expanded in respect to the original FF7’s Midgar chapter is borderline boring and void of any significance, made me go through this game for a long time, because I couldn’t make myself play for longer than an hour or less a day. This is a first for an FF game for me, as even FFXV, which to date is my least favourite, made me play continuously till the ending for 2 days straight.

    I don’t know if it’s me getting older and bitter, or just having impossible expectations towards the Remake (and accidentally the most influential piece of any popular entertainment that is the original FF7 in my life), but FF7 Remake didn’t only gravely disappoint me, it made me question my whole interest in the gaming industry at all.

    (The score is as it is, because as bad a FF7 spawn this game is, I still can recognize it as a good game on its own, which plays nice and has great production values; however, if you, like me, are approaching it from a sentimental point of view and expected something that would grow up with you since 1997, this score is obviously way too generous).    … Expand

There is a tiny bit of filler in some sections and the side quests aren't important at all but I didn't mind it, because the game focuses mostly on telling the story, which is completely fine. The gameplay mechanics are incredible, the mix of Real Time Action and Turn Based Combat work perfectly in this game and the materia system is amazing, very easy to use, makes the combat so much more unique and satisfying. So what did the Remake improve upon the original game except from the gameplay? Well, the characters are way better, they have more personality and development and they are more likeable. Many sections such as the Wall Market or Shinra Building include more cutscenes and are bigger than before, making them more fresh and modern, and they are just so awesome. This game feels so magical and nostalgic, it's like watching a spectacular animated movie, with breathtaking cutscenes and fantastic music playing in the background. Can't wait for the sequels, there is so much potential, its honestly a perfect remake.… Expand

It seems like a money grubbing move from Square to release it in parts like a telltale game. A lot of people keep saying “it’s a big game would you rather wait ten years or play a part now? Hurr hurr.” As if that is an end all own. I’d rather have waited and played the full game at thirty-five or so instead of paying sixty bucks and using ninety gigabytes to get a partial game.… Expand

    Voice actors bring classic hero’s alive a new. Brianne White as Voice of Aerith is one to remember.

    We see character development to them and classic scenes are there and now they deepen them more. Rest of Avalance get more time. Some of the chapters in story could have been shorten and something else added. But that is my view.

    Plot is almost the same, but at the end comes the twist. That worries me, but I see what they intended with it. Now they are free to take story at new direction?
    That was bold move, I don't know what to think about it, so I hold my judgement until next part.

    Guess I am worried what SquareEnix is going to do in next.

    The combat in this game is extremely fun, but the difficulty is all over the place. There are random difficulty spikes. I was constantly switching back and forth from easy to normal difficulty the whole time. One enemy would be a challenge but fun and the next would be downright impossible where I make absolutely no dent in their health, then the next enemy or boss would just be a fun challenge again.

    Aside from the combat, the story is not as close to the original as I would have liked. The further I got in the game the more i resented the filler in between the sequences I adore from the original. Then came that ending! One thing to me is certain, I cannot think of this as FF7 remake anymore. It is much more like FF7 reboot now, which I do NOT like.

    So why am I still giving this game a 10? For two reasons, first is to make up for trolls. Second reason I'm giving it a 10 is because what did I do when I finished this game? I immediately started it over again. No matter how much I want to dislike this game I don't. I've let my anger over the differences settle, and now that I know what to expect from the game I will probably enjoy it more the 2nd time around.    … Expand

    It's not a bad game by any means, but there's something about it that just makes it fall short of loving it. It might be that there's too much filler or that it's a bit too linear for my liking, or that there's hidden loading screens (elevators/narrow passage ways) everywhere. I really don't know. The dialogue is a bit stilted and not well aligned, that doesn't help either.

    The storychanges are pretty decent so far and I enjoy it when I play it, but there's nothing that makes me want to jump in and finish it, except wanting to know the ending.

    SquareEnix released what might the be greatest psychological horror of 2020.

    The game starts out with everything you can hope for and more, breathtaking visuals in one of the greatest video game settings, the city of Midgar. Just opening the door from Cloud's apartment for the first time and the sheer scale of the plates in full detail along the view of the slums you see in front of you, all to explore in all its glory...the pleasure is intoxicating. Sure you sense something amiss, but it is quickly shrugged off since the first reactor mission went so perfectly.

    You start to see a few red flags here and there, an unrelated motorcycle character comes to form and vanishes like a tv one episode villain, and you start to see less and less effort put into the side characters and side quests that feel painfully robotic or badly scripted and voiced. But worry not, the core story was still there, shining in all its glory...side characters and side quests never mattered and can be quickly skipped past.

    Some more hours pass, the ghosts...you've seen them again, and your early interpretation that they're similar to voices of the lifestream isn't cutting it anymore. Worry not you tell yourself, the train graveyard is coming up, surely a wonderful tie in to fighting in the train graveyard is what SquareEnix is after.

    The first moment of shock, the first reasoning for the ghosts/whispers. The party is told that the ghosts are arbiters of fate trying to control the party's path...and they're in a Final Fantasy 7 game. Your deepest fears have come to light, and while the game doesn't delve on them much...you already know it's too late, an unlit stick of dynamite will follow you from here on out.

    You play out the game enjoying what you see while knowing a truly darker evil lies beneath the gorgeous visuals. Then just as you feel the game is reaching its end with no cataclysmic destruction, looking as though this first episode will be left safe, the destruction begins. You are thrown head first into the abyss. There is no saving explanation coming, your greatest fear has truly come alive...THIS...IS...KINGDOM HEARTS. Timelines, time travel, and plot ripped asunder. The thing is more terrible than I can describe, an incoherent jumble of nostalgia, story switching, and everything Nomura.

    You lie awake, asking the same question...Why? it comes to no purpose or gain, but you continue to ask...Why?
    Alas, the first is over and you know they will come again, again, and again...worse than the last.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If my complaint below wasn’t a thing I’d say this game is worthy of a solid 8/10.

    But realistically this game doesn’t hold a candle in comparison to God of War. Both essentially remakes, both with action combat, small explorable environments, side quests and many other similar gameplay aspects; Except GoW is worthy of a 10.

    But here’s why I’m so upset I give this a 2/10 instead of a 8/10:

    Replayability is a joke, hardmode is just stupid. It's completely easy until you reach some core boss storyline boss fights and then it's way too hard. The cheap cop-out of hardmode is to just "remove item usage", therefore MP management is the entire concern of hard mode.

    Game breaking bugs exist, in the sense that you are forced to reload your game, such as crawling in ducts in chapter 16, if you view below while crawling to see some nods talking, you will be unable to “press circle to exit” and are forced to reload your game. So if you don’t save often, or use auto save mostly, you wasted at least an hour of your life, and more if you did some challenges. There’s a few similar bugs throughout the game and I’ve experienced it once previous, while some other people have up to 4 different times in a single play through. Absolutely unacceptable garbage, it’s not like you’ll have to do some ridiculous glitch moves to make it happen, nope just play the game casually and you'll likely encounter this, so SAVE YOUR GAME OFTEN.

    In closing;
    Much like many legitimate people on youtube and twitch who reviewed this game, an honest review is to say that this game does a lot well, and a lot bad. It's both opposite sides of the spectrum at the same time with very little middle ground, and unfortunately the bad outweigh the good in my opinion.

    If you can get over the story changes (it's still mostly the same story), great. However for me, the game leaves me wanted to play more, to play a real NG+, but instead we're left a poor excuse of a hardmode.

    Oh, and Red XIII is awesome but you can't play as him, and the ending cutscene/fight was pretty ridiculous. Might as well have imported scenes from the Advent Children movie.

    For the most part, I like what they've done. The game looks great, the battle system is really enjoyable, they've fleshed out the main and side characters to make them so much more interesting. The city of Midgar and the different sectors feel much more alive, giving it so much more depth and reason to do more in these areas as well as hitting all the key points people remember.
    Unfortunately making the game only consist of Midgar (which was only the first 4-5 hours) means they had to add padding to make this a full 30+ hour experience and my god did they pard this out. Most of the side quests are dull and are purely there to extend playtime. Very small, brief and insignificant parts are stretched too far and make sections of the game a chore just to get through. The game could easily have been condensed into a 10-15 hour game and personally would have been a better option for a more reasonable price.
    The worst thing for myself is how they have changed some key aspects of the story. I won't go into spoilers but what I would consider memorable scenes no longer exist and events added that just don't belong there purely because they wanted to rush the story. Sephiroth doesn't even appear in the original Midgar section but for some reason appears all the time. It just doesn't make sense.

Я купил PS4 только ради нее. А что в итоге я получаю, я получаю то что игра без русской локализации, даже субтитры не добавили (да я русский и английский знаю плохо). Я разочарован отношением Sqare Enix к фанатам русско язычной базы. Они обосновали отсутствие перевода на русский язык тем что FFXV не окупила затрат на перевод. Почему вы уважаемая Sqare Enix делаете выводы по абсолютно другому проекту который был не известен так как FF7 в девяностых годах.… Expand

    This is for FF7 fans. The gameplay is amazing, the world is beautiful and rich. The story might be contentious since it seems to be going in a different route from the old game. It's exciting to see. It looks like it's happening in its own canon.

    A terrible action game and a terrible final fantasy game
    This game called Remake it wasn't even a remake at all, and even so there's people that still praise and buy an incomplete mess like this multiple times just for the sake of the nostalgy???
    The worst sign of a dead franchise

    FIRE NOJIMA AND NOMURA!!!

    This game is mediocre at best. People that gave is above a 5 are brainless robots, and they clearly don't know what a true JRPG should look and play like. Let's begin: 1. All the grunts and head nods within conversations are not how people talk. The conversations are very cringe. 2. I understand Cloud is more serious and cold, but this game made him    FIRE NOJIMA AND NOMURA!!!

    Let's begin:

    1. All the grunts and head nods within conversations are not how people talk. The conversations are very cringe.

    2. I understand Cloud is more serious and cold, but this game made him seem mentally retarded.

    3. Is Tifa Cloud's love or not? From this story, it doesn't seem like it. And neither is Areth. I'm so confused.

    4. Most of the levels of the game are boring.

    5. Most of the side quests are pathetic and boring. Who the hell thought it would be fun chasing cats?

    6. Minigames are alright, but still not that fun.

    7. Items and Materia...etc. are whatever. I still don't understand how things work.

    8. Can I have one boss fight without some bs cinematic interruption? Ffs.

    9. Replay value: 0.

    The Japanese clearly have lost their sense of storytelling and game development. The classic FF7 is a million times better!

    FIRE NOJIMA and NOMURA ASAP!!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Misleading Title. THIS GAME IS NOT A REMAKE. This game is a REBOOT. or SEQUEL.
    It should be called Final Kingdom of Fantasy Hearts VII-2 Reboot : Sephiroth's Revenge.
    The music excellent. Great arrangements and additions.
    The gameplay is someone good, but it some issues and it can be improved.
    Voice acting was great.
    Graphics and textures were awesome for most part of the game, but in some parts they looked like they were made on ps1.
    As for the story, up to chapter 16 it's a good story, very faithful to the original with a few additions and minor changes that were good.
    But then on chapter 17 things start to head in a very different direction, and then comes chapter 18.
    Square Enix basically threw up on the fans just a wholesome of trash. The story goes WAAAAAAY off the tracks. It has absolutely nothing to do with the original story. It changes a lot of things that will affect the future of the story and important events on the next parts. Enemies that were not supposed to be in this part of the game are included, and this basically lowers the expectation of future bosses and the last boss of the last part in particular. Not to mention the Heartless of Destiny...
    which are some poor written elements that "have a purpose", and they feel basically like a deus ex machina for the developers, and they feel like a way for them to say "this is our game now and we can do whatever we want with it and we can change whatever we want and you don't have a saying in it because you are destroying the story yourself".
    The game is good overall, but to be honest those last 2 chapters for me, and the ending make every little peace of excitement go to hell. This game did not live for the hype it build in over 5 years. I really hope they ignore everything that happened in those 2 chapters and the coming parts stay with the same story as the original.    … Expand

    It's amazing how many people Nomura tricked into thinking this piece of **** game was any good.

    Looks fantastic, combat is great, but guys, it feels that you stretch 10 hours into 30 hours, its soooo long, nothing is going on with the script at all.
    Moreover half of the location are the same storehouses and facilities, totally the same. And those surprises with ghost in the plot-that is for 7 years old kids.

    If you like RPG's in general, not just a Final Fantasy fan, you'll enjoy this game. If you're a fan, I think you will really love it!

    They take everything about RPGs and crank it up. My favorite parts are the characters and the epic battles. The characters are fun, the dialogue and banter is a joy and the actors did an excellent job bringing these classic characters to life. That's no small feat!

    Then there's the epic boss battles. Every boss has multiple music tracks to fit the current phase of the fight. it's all over the top and gives me goosebumps every time. it's fun and the combat is satisfying.

    I really don't have many negative experiences while playing the game. There are a few weird combat targeting and camera issues. But they are few and far between. It's not perfect, but still amazing. I would give the game a 9.5 but rounded up for my score.

    This game is really worth playing, and a trendsetter for future RPG's, not just JRPGS. I got a platinum trophy and I'm planning on playing through it again real soon!    … 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?
