    Una nueva forma de revivir un gran clásico de la industria con ciertos cambios que lo hacen sentir como una secuela del mismo. -El gameplay es adictivo y muy divertido. -Ciertas misiones secundarias y secciones se vuelven tediosas.
    -El apartado técnico y sonoro es fascinante.

    Main problems,
    - I'm not going to let this one go ever, but real action combat is not what FF fans were into, ever, I don't mind playing Tales of Berseria, but when I play FF I don't want this crap.
    - The combat is so goddamn easy. I beat the game in hard mode, you should have the option to play with that level of difficulty from the beginning. You quite honestly can't die in normal difficulty, it makes most of the combat elements feel pointless. It ties up with the turns things, if it were turn based you couldn't just run around dodging everything, bah. I don't know why it's a thing that I have to finish a game first to be allowed to play it. Note I don't normally play games on hard, but this game is way too easy on normal.
    - I find it incredibly stupid the achievements require you to replay entire chapters making decisions which you don't know if they'll have the effect you want them to have. The only achievements I left out are the different chapter 14 endings... I mean, if you want to encourage people to replay the game make it a better experience, you can skip cut scenes but there is so much in the game that is just locked game play which you can't skip.

    Bottom line, allow hard mode from the beginning, remove stupid achievements, let people live with the story the way they chose it.    … Expand

    O jogo tem um bom sistema de combate, gráficos bons, e boa trilha sonora. A história pra quem não jogou o original pode ter ficado confusa da maneira que foi contada, porém ela não deixa de ser boa. Os pontos negativos (além da história confusa para os iniciantes), ficam por conta de "bugs" de textura e missões secundárias que não recompensam como deveria, e são um pouco que "repetitivas".O jogo tem um bom sistema de combate, gráficos bons, e boa trilha sonora.

    Final Fantasy 7 Remake is one of the finest game in recent memory. setting a new benchmark for visuals and real-time combat in the series, the game manages to begin retelling one of gaming’s greatest stories in grandiose fashion. It’s just a shame we have to wait for the next chapter.

    Overall I liked the game. The battle system is a lot of fun and the characterization is very well done. Story wise I think it fell a little short for me, but it’s still not too bad. It could’ve been better, but I had fun from start to (almost) finish.

    This game had a slightly above average story in my opinion, with it obviously setting up a sequel. The pacing of it was a little weird and since it was Japanese made some of the English voice acting while good felt off in some scenes. I really liked cloud and Aerith as characters and I expect characters like Reno to have redeeming moments.

    This remake proves that it can be both faithful while still surprises old fans. The high mark of this game is the battle system, it moved on from turn-based system with a more action oriented battle but not less tactical. The materia system as good as it ever was and how they rotate the roster of character for each level is fun.

It adds a few things to the story, some are great (chapter 4 with Jesse was nice), some not so good (the train station, blah). The game often looks amazing, and sometimes, it looks like a early PS3 game (in chapter 5, when you look down at the slum, eeeeeeeh). When you finish the game, except doing it again in hard mode for a few more bosses, there is nothing else to do. The side quests are rewarding, but not interesting, at all. But overall, it's a good game. The ending seems divisive, I'll wait to see what's next with Part 2 before having a definitive opinion on it.… Expand

Je n'ai pas été déçu, c'est un vrai vent de fraîcheur et honnêtement, je suis heureux que ce remake ne soit pas juste un copié-collé de l'original. Pour commencer, le jeu est beaucoup plus développé (le jeu reprend le passage de Midgar qui fait à peine 6 heures dans l'original pour au final en faire un jeu de 30 heures), on s'attarde beaucoup plus sur les personnages tels que Jessie, Wedge, Biggs et même les principaux sont plus développé notamment Tifa. Côté visuel, le jeu est tout de même assez inégal, on est face à des décors magnifiques et la modélisation des persos est dingue mais des fois, on se retrouve devant une texture dégueulasse (cf. l'appartement de Cloud) ou une skybox à l'allure de .jpeg ce qui est vraiment dommage. Niveau scénario, c'est du FF7 donc c'est excellent et les modifications (majeures et mineures) sont les bienvenues ! /! Attention pour ceux qui s'attendaient à une fidélité à 100%, vous pourriez être déçus /! Cependant, certaines phases du jeu font vraiment office de rallonge pour combler. L'OST est vraiment incroyable, on retrouve les compositions Nobuo Uematsu réorchestrées à merveille et le thème principal "Hollow" inédit à ce remake est vraiment dingue. La fin conclut le jeu à merveille et nous donne vraiment l'eau à la bouche pour la suite des événements.

Minor tweaks or adjustments to the world would have done a lot to this game, but the narrative is extremely effective and relatable. The combat system is the best strategy/action system i have ever played, only being pulled back by not having the freedom to use all the perks this system enables, because of the segmentation of the story. Once this battle system is complete with all the materia available in the final version of the full story, it will be insane. I really hope ffxvi uses a version of this combat because its an amazing evolution from classic atb systems. FFVII Remake is built in a way where you allways feel as if you're playing a 20 year old game, forcing you to be wowed when 2020 techology makes you realise it's not. Great introduction to FF games for newcomers, the beginning of an all time masterpiece for seasoned JRPG lovers (if square doesn't **** it up). Oh and btw, Zack appears in this game, that automatically put it down one point for me… Expand

    "Final Fantasy VII: Midgar Reimagined" would be a more accurate title. In a clumsy attempt to add a conclusion to the story of Midgar, Nomura put his Kingdom Hearts writing hat on and added some time travel nonsense. I still have no idea if this is supposed to be the first chapter in a series, but i don't expect they'll pull off some kind of cross save function.

    I think it is a lot more enjoyable if you're really familiar with the story of FF7 and treat this game as more of a NG+ in the style of Nier. Manages to have overly long and drawn out cutscenes, while still leaving much of the story unexplored. Underwhelming as a standalone product, but there was some fun to be had.

    I don't know where to start. So many great things. I genuinely feel bad for people that didn't enjoy this game because the story deviates slightly from the original, rather than being identical to the original but with updated graphics. FF7 Remake seems to be halfway between a remake and a sequel, and I for one am very ok with that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m just going to review what I absolutely hated the most about this game and what I loved the most about it. Now what I hated more than anything else this remake had to offer is.

    THE ARBITERS OF FATE.
    The arbiters of fate (or whispers) first make an appearance when you meet Aerith during the opening bombing mission and during the course of the game you come to find that the Arbiters purpose is to ensure that the remake follows the same events as the original story because as it turns out you’re playing in an alternate time line and not at all in the originals time line. Sephiroth is revealed to be aware of all the events that took place in the original story, which would suggest that he somehow time traveled from the future of the original game’s plotline and is now trying to alter the remake’s plotline by pitting Cloud and the rest of his party against the Arbiters of Fate in order to defy their destiny that they had in the original games universe and all this to change the course of history in the current timeline thus definitively changing the course of the story for all future installments of this remake. Try and wrap your head around that. This is the very reason why I just wanted the same game with current gen graphics because I knew that Square would go into kingdom hearts territory and ruin it. I wish they would have just left the story untouched because now Aerith might not even die and Zack is still alive and that takes away the emotional impact of the story for me… but oh well it is what it is just have to accept it at this point. Now that I got that out of the way onto what I loved the most about this game and that is.

    THE CHARACTERS.
    The character development in this remake is nothing short of amazing even better than the original which is something I really wasn’t expecting going into it. I’ve played through the game twice so far once on normal and once on hard and it’s always a joy to watch all the dialogue scenes between these characters even minor characters from the original game are featured more prominently here and this addition is more than welcomed. Having played the original countless times I initially thought it might not be as exciting as it was in 1997 to watch the same scenes and interactions play out even with current gen graphics well fortunately I was wrong about that and Square has managed to get every character right in this remake even Cloud who I was the most skeptical of after seeing what’s been done to his character since the release of Advent Children. As for the chapters without a doubt one of the best chapters in the game is when you get to Wall Market between the renowned cross dressing make over, Don Corneo’s mansion, the underground colosseum and even a humorous hand massage scene there’s something to delight and entertain old fans and newcomers alike. FF7 is basically a Japanese anime and like an anime the Japanese voice cast is usually better than the English voice cast but after listening to both I can’t decide which one I prefer more all the voice actors here really did a remarkable job in bringing these iconic characters to life as a long time fan I couldn’t be happier with what they did here.

    All in all I didn’t love the remake but I didn’t hate it either there were many things I liked about it and many things I disliked about it. As far as comparing it to the original it’s nowhere near as great but that feels really unfair to say being that this first installment only covers about 10 to 15 percent of the original game.    … Expand

Iba con mucha ilusión ya que soy fan de la saga Final Fantasy aunque no los he jugado todos. Las primeras impresiones al jugar a este Remake no podían ser mejores. La historia es un calco de la original añadiendo más zonas jugables donde te cuentan más sobre Midgar y sobre los personajes ya que en el original era todo muy plano y no empatizabas mucho con ellos. La recreación de los escenario y Midgar en general está a un nivel altísimo quitando zonas muy puntuales donde las texturas no cargan. Pero para mí eso no es un problema. En cuanto a los personajes, depende de gustos, pero para mí son increíbles, tienes una personalidad increíble, todos ellos. Mi favorita es Tifa y Aerith no se queda atrás. El punto fuerte del juego es el combate, un action JRPG muy táctico que tienes que aprender a manejar. No sirve con aporrear el botón cuadrado, tienes que utilizar habilidades para agotar al enemigo y que sea vulnerables para infligirle más daño, ya sea con ataques físicos, mágicos o con objetos. En el nivel difícil se vuelve un autentico reto, y más si quieres sacarte el platino con los jefes extra. En cuanto a la historia y su final, me han gustado, dejando incógnitas para el futuro que ya veremos que ocurre, pero sinceramente, prefiero mil veces esta parte de Midgar que la del original que dura 8 horas. Aquí está todo mejor contado, empatizas con los personajes y ves cosas nuevas y necesarias que no tenía el original por, evidentemente, limitaciones de la consola. UN juego disfrutable hasta el final. Recomedado.… Expand

The question is: was it worth the wait or is it an insult to your childhood. FF7R starts off with one of the best opening levels in any video game I’ve played recently. You go and hack and slash while listening to some S-tier music. It then concludes with a great boss fight that is tough and memorable. After that we go to town and it’s a little slow at first but once that iconic remixed battle theme came on, I was pumped. You then have to go through dungeons which can be a little confusing,but it is worth it. The bad guys of this game got my blood pumping, which can sometimes be rare for a video game. Also, the motercycle rides are A+. Soon we are introduced to a familiar face and the interactions between this character and cloud are amazing. The game then introduces us to even more characters and I could not get enough. However,this game is divided into chapters and while some chapters are amazing, some feel like they were made just for filler. But once you get through those filler chapters, it goes into a very emotional scene that I will not spoil. When I finished the game, my first thought was “when is part 2 coming out?” The game leaves off on a cliffhanger which made me love the game even more. Now onto pros and cons.
    Pros:
    Graphics
    Story
    Characters Soundtrack

    Cons

    Most polished game I've played in years and one of the best FF games period. The story and characters are interesting and easy to follow. This game does drag in some areas with puzzles and side plots, but it does great at everything else. One of the best combat systems yet with an entirely playable team. Diverse weapons with lots of skills to choose from and level up.
    I can't wait for part 2!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I hated this game after my first play through. I had the expectation that it was going to be the original story with no modifications, so I initially hated how the story played out at the end. Also, it was ridiculously easy and required almost no strategy to beat the game. A few things changed after that.

    First, I took some time to think about it and what the developers are trying to do and I’m not as mad. We are still going to get to play through all the cool stuff and locations in the original game in the next parts, there will just be minor tweaks to outcomes. I’m OK with this. I’ve accepted this now.

    Second, I played the game on hard mode and did all the achievements. I must say that hard mode is how this game is meant to be played (besides the lack of item usage - I mean why? And why still give us items?). It requires a lot of strategy and just feels more like how the game was meant to be. As for gameplay, the game looks great. The battle system is decent enough. The kids have deemed turn-based combat dead, so this is about the best we are going to get. Air combat is awful though, let’s get that out of the way. Keeping AI characters positioned where you want them is often frustrating and annoying. Other than that, the battle system works. I will say that I don’t like how summons work. I just want them to show up and do their super move and get on with it. Having to spend your own ATB to have them do attacks is annoying. How is this mess going to work in later games when you summon something like Knights of the Round?

    Materia is mostly good. I wish there was a bigger selection but they need to save some for future games. Also, I miss the days of getting a new materia once you master one. Being limited to one ‘All’ materia and two Elementals was rough. Other nit picky things: the mini-games were tedious and not fun. Wall Market seemed sort of limited as far as the optional side quests go when it came to customizing the outfits. I never want to see or hear from Johnny again - all of his parts were cringe-worthy. The soundtrack is phenomenal. The characters are all well written. It was just a really good game if you go back and do everything.

    Looking forward to Part 2 and hoping it doesn’t take a decade.    … Expand

World 10/10, gameplay 10/10, story omg I don’t know how to rate a story that is part remake and sequel.

However, there are glaring and consistent issues throughout the entire game that need to be addressed to and slid under the door (yes, that door) for review.

    Presentation:
    The graphics are phenomenal... for main characters and a few select other bits here and there. The first chapter has, for the most part, a great presentation through environmental textures. It's when the story takes the player to Sector 7, right after the first part, that the graphical fidelity of the environment and the NPCs takes a nosedive. Within this area and the many areas after it, there exist nearly four generations of graphics ranging from PS1 to PS4. It may have been passable to have such low-resolution textures for off-in-the-distance visuals but much of the awful textures are front and centre.

    This level of inconsistency and lack of refinement is unacceptable, especially coming from a developer known to put a decent amount of production value into their games that are not low in budget. There has yet to be a patch released to address this issue. The argument is that it's being run on the PS4 and its old hardware. This is true, yet many games with similar budgets, development time, and linear gameplay have achieved astounding results; especially by comparison. For the lack of graphical-fidelity alone and the constant juxtaposition of high-res and low-res textures, I've removed two points from the score making it an 8/10. JUST barely out of the mixed territory. What saved it from a 7/10 or less is the story and general presentation of that story and the characters in it.

    Story:
    I never played the first game. I knew about it and watched my brother play it but by the time I was old enough, the PS2 came out and I played FFX as my first entry to the franchise. Likewise, I didn't play the remaster on the PS3 so this was my first time playing the game.

    Although I knew a bit of the story, it was a thrill to play the game and experience it for myself and enjoyed it all the way through. I understand the apprehension of fans for the original, in regards to the altering of parts of the story, but I also understand what SqEnx wanted to do with one of their most iconic entries for Final Fantasy. The characters are enjoyable and it was a pleasure getting to know Tifa, Aerith, Barret, et al. The gameplay mechanics are next level. The fighting system is one of the most enjoyable systems that I've ever used and I'm looking forward to using it again in the next instalment.

    All in all, the game is good and mostly great save for the caveat that is the terrible environmental textures that nearly ruin the presentation of the game save for the highly detailed main character models. What's disappointing about this remake is that the entire raison d'être for remaking it was to showcase the game, and thus the story, in breathtaking visuals as SqEnx intended. The reality is that the developers fell short and pushed out a hodgepodge of a graphical marvel. Parts are on par with other high-end games released this year and on the same platform, but just as many parts are akin to PS1 and PS2-era graphics with some PS3 thrown in here and there. With the game requiring roughly 95gb of storage, there really is no excuse for this mishap. I wish that I could give this a 10/10 but the at many times atrocious graphics, whether by laziness or a coding error, brings my score to an 8/10.    … Expand

En graficos, es como si fuera un juego de generación proxima, al que le han bajado los graficos para que funcione en PS4, habra que ver como se visualiza en PC, pero hay problemas en las texturas que no cargan. Desde mi punto de vista, la parte mas deficiente. Dicho eso pasamos a lo bueno. No es un Remake 1:1, hay cambios, a nivel argumental que a pesar de dejarte descolocado si jugaste el original, lo cual no es malo, se entiende que desde el punto de vista de ir por partes, tiene un sentido muy bueno, que permite una continuidad en la historia, dejandote un objetivo para las siguientes entregas. El juego esta lleno de guiños nostalgicos, pero se nota que esta version esta hecha para todo el mundo, jugaras o no el original, y que sorprenda a todo el mundo en una medida u otra sin perder su alma. Hablando de mecanicas, el combate es muy satisfactiorio, fluido y espectacular, el sistema de Materias esta muy bien adaptado a pesar de quedar claro que se dejan muchas para las entregas posteriores. En cuanto a la dificultad, el modo clasico o facil, es muy facil, permitiendote centrarte en la historia si te interesa mas la trama que los combates, hasta el punto que algunos combates se pueden superar casi sin interaccion del jugador. La dificultad normal, ya presenta un desafio medio para la primera partida. Una vez completado el juego, dispondremos del modo dificil, el cual se puede combertir en una autentica pesadilla si no estas acostumbrado a este tipo de juegos, (Tampoco es un Darck Souls no nos engañemos). El juego se dessarolla en forma de pequeños capitulos, que una vez completado se pueden repetir a eleccion del jugador en la dificultad que quiera, ya sea por superarlos en dificil, buscar secretos o completar todos los objetos del juego. En definitiva es un juego que por nostalgia se pondria un 9, pero pensando de forma fria, le pondria un 7, asi que de media lo dejo en 8. Esta claro que Square quiere ganar dinero con este juego, pero que a fin de cuentas es un juego hecho a partir de la nostalgia y para satisfacer el cariño de los fans de la saga. Y para mi en este punto cumple a la perfeccion.… Expand

    Loved this game and couldn't put the controller down. Wonderful gameplay, great store that kept me interested (with a few exceptions), and awesome music this game has me captivated. Yes, there are some faults but nothing can be perfect. This game made me want to go back and play the old game to compare it.

    An exciting and wonderful take on the original. The animation and voice acting are excellent, the combat and storytelling are fantastic, and the soundtrack while not as good as the original is still beautiful in its own way and compliments the game perfectly.

    One of the best games I have played in a long time. The nostalgia was massive, and I felt like I was 9 years old all over again. The combat, the characters, and the music are all incredible. Best Final Fantasy game since 10 (2001).

    This is the first PS4 game I was able to play twice back to back as I had missed a couple of things on my first playthrough (weapons, materia, summons, etc.). In addition, the ending made me want to pay more attention to the story and dialogue the second time around. I definitely got my money's worth.

    Some of the side quests (especially the earlier ones) could have been better but they do improve and get more interesting as the game progresses. In terms of pacing, I feel like Chapter 14 was a little unnecessary as it almost felt like redoing Chapter 10

So skeptical that I cancelled my preorder to avoid being disappointed. I picked it up a few months later after seeing some reviews and finally decided to play it and I was wonderfully surprised. Not only is it one of the best looking games I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing, it took the story in unexpected ways that I’d say we’re mostly satisfying. Combat was a huge challenge since I much rather prefer turn based. The combat is really hit or miss, it’s either extremely fun and rewarding or makes me want to turn the game off from frustration. The characters I thought were portrayed greatly and Cloud especially had great development. The expanding of Midgar and some side characters were also very good. Not to mention the stellar voice acting. Personally my biggest gripe with the game was the pacing and the “newcomer friendly” aspect of it. This game could have easily been cut down 10 hours and didn’t have to drag on at certain points. It felt more like they were trying to hit a quota instead of putting meaning-full content to fill gaps and instead they said “Here’s a gauntlet of enemies and endless corridors”. Especially towards the middle and end the pacing can come to a stand still with moments from the original that took 5 minutes now taking an hour+. The pacing can get extremely slow and tedious overall. And for newcomers to the FF7 world I think this game will be very tough for them. This game I’d say absolutely relies on the knowledge of knowing the first game or atleast the general aspect of it. For that reason I’d suggest playing the original first. In general while I don’t want to sound like a old man and harp on about the original I think this remake takes that beginning section and really does improve it for the better. But with pacing and slight story issues there is definitely improvements that can be made in the games to come. I was extremely pleased with this game and cannot wait for the sequel/2nd part.… Expand

    no cabe duda que square enix si logro una adaptación a las nuevas época, de verdad lograron crear una adaptación.

    El único problema que era las texturas que de vez en cuando la calidad reducía de manera significativa como la puerta del departamento de cloud o las rocas que están cerca de la zona de aerith, este detalle de textura tampoco arruina la experiencia del juego a decir vdd.    no cabe duda que square enix si logro una adaptación a las nuevas época, de verdad lograron crear una adaptación.

    como ultimo dato yo considero que la dificultad difícil debería ser la base exceptuando que si se podría usar items, pero yo creo que si deberían de haber un numero reducido de ellas para el final del modo normal ya tenia 77 ether y 99 elixires, por lo que si el juego es perfecto, el balance de el podría ser mejor, dejen de pensar que los americanos somos tontos podemos con mas dificultad, porque estoy seguro de que aun piensan que estamos medio mensos para los jrpg's

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. FF7R is one of my favorite games in a long time. It is an absolute blast to plat, especially the battle system which is perfect. If you like the original, then you'll enjoy the characters, their interactions, and development. The story is probably 90%+ faithful to the original story, but the ending in particular suggests some changes in future games. Personally, I love that there will be some new elements to the story. It has sprung theories and discussions and analysis of what's going to happen. We don't often get the chance to do that in video games. Overall, this game is so much fun, a great retelling of the first part of the story, and a perfect representation of the characters from the original.… Expand

    All the reviews told me to love a battle system I just wasnt in love with. After beating the game I wondered if I'd have even played it without loving the original. It felt like playing the characters of final fantasy 7 inside the horrible battle system of final fantasy 15. It I wanted an action rpg I'd play the witcher. I expected greatness and got a downgrade.

    Fighting a giant god representing"fate itself in order to break the chains of destiny while taking a trip at the "edge of creation" - whatever that means -, liberally sprinkling hints at alternative timelines and parallele universes just to make the mess messier, seems like something you might encounter in a fanfic written by a 12 years old fan awkwardly trying to concoct the basest, cheapest sense of epicness available, not a plot envisioned by a professional writer with even a basic understanding of story-telling. The party didn't "earn" that fight from a narrative point of view, there was no proper organic build-up to it, no heartfelt personal stakes conveyed to the player, and as a result the reaped rewards felt underwhelming (if not meaningless), while also projecting a jarring, potentially ridiculous effect on future events: good luck explaining how that very same party will struggle to defeat mushrooms, snakes and bats from now on!    … 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.

    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?
