    What a wasted opportunity. I find this game so dull with absolutely terrible pacing with my overall experience of this game being of frustration and boredom.

    Sure the graphics are great, but what’s the point in beautiful graphics when the world is lifeless and not interactive, or, that those graphics are locked behind poorly hidden loading screen areas?

Sure, the combat CAN be thrilling, but 90% of the time it feels messy. I’ve never felt in control of a combat situation. It’s so tightly ‘on the rails’ that it feels like a VR experience. There is almost 0 exploration because the gaming areas are so small. The voice acting and dialogue are terrible, childish and irritating. The RPG elements are so shallow and a bit pointless. Levelling up weapons with SP points? Sounds great, if you had any incentive to chose a progression path, but you just have to select ALL of the upgrades so what’s the point? Same as equipment, it’s just generic “next version is better” drivel. All of this was fine 20 years ago but not anymore. I think the worst thing about this game is the wasted opportunity. We all know and love the ff7 story, the world and the lore; so why not let us experience it from a new angle? Why not have midgar be an open world experience? Why not have a job/class system? Why not have mechanics for interacting with the world? *sigh* it’s just another lazy game with a premium price tag and I’m not looking forward to any of its expansions or future FF remakes….    … Expand

    A disappointing game to play, and not a true Remake at all.
    They have should called Final Fantasy VII Reboot. Because this is basically what the game is, in the end.
    The graphics is excellent, but the exploration is barely minimal, and definitely more similar to a corridor simulator game, rather than a true jrpg...

    Un juego muy decepcionante.
    En primer lugar, este juego no es una nueva versión real, sino un reinicio reescrito del original. Y en eso es un poco estafador.
    En segundo lugar, el juego es completamente lineal y el 80% se compone solo de escenas.

    Profundamente decepcionado después de la espera.

Totally and unabashedly cringe, childish, unnappealing, self-important without substance, and generally lacking a creative purpose other than making revenue gains.

    The graphics and setting are nice. That's my positive note

    The gameplay relies heavily on handholding and tutorial pop-ups that break immersion. Aside from that, combat is unintuitive and frustrating for a number of reasons: bad ai design, bad stun and stagger mechanics that are heavily biased against the player, and yet it's still too easy. It's just not great. Square has not been able to figure out 3D action-oriented gameplay in 20 years, and I really wish they would just abandon that venture and stick to thoughtful strategy.

    I think Square has gone too far into itself and lost touch with its fan base. In fact this game is an open mockery of fans, so much so that it's integrated into the story in a controversial twist that breaks the fourth wall and shatters any chance of immersion. It's a joke, they know it and they're laughing at you for buying it. These people don't appreciate video games as an art form anymore, and really that's just sad. I feel bad for Square. Selling your soul never really works out.

    In conclusion, Final Fantasy VII: Remake is a flamboyant testament of self-sabotage. I wish I could say I had the motivation to stick through to the next release being such a fan of the original, but frankly they lost me on this one. Once these losers get rich they get addicted and they stop caring about what they're doing. Don't enable them, don't give them your money.    … Expand

    in Russia, the game of the final fantasy series has a huge fan base. The generation of 1995-2005 grew up on them. It's a pity that SQUARE ENIX spits in the face of its loyal fans. Although my assessment will not do anything, but I will no longer be a game for fans of the final fantasy series.

    A faithful remake with a playful tone that opens up new timelines for the series. Retains the soul of the original but brings it up to speed with a bang of a motorcycle engine. Graphics and gameplay are both a joy but occasional linearity and some padding keep it from being the perfect remake.

When FF7 Remake came out, I was cautiously optimistic that this game would make me fall back in love with the series. The game exceeded my expectations in every way -- a gorgeous story, some of the most well-written characters of the entire FF series, gorgeous graphics and soundtrack, and an engaging and challenging combat system. I can't comment on how this compares to the original entry, but I can promise that any person approaching this game with an open-mind and expectations on what the remake project is trying to achieve, they will thoroughly love the game. My only small bit of criticism is with some unnecessary lulls in the story and action which could have been tightened up in my opinion. Still, only a minor gripe in comparison with the absolutely achievement of a game this is.… Expand

    Final Fantasy VII Remake also features a completely revamped battle system which rates with the best in the franchise. Despite trading in turn-based for real time action, Remake is still as strategic as ever, and offers up a consistent challenge that even the original can't match.

    It's unfortunate then that this only covers a fraction of the original game's story, though the bar has been set high for whatever comes next; and Final Fantasy VII Remake leaves the door open for some truly exciting possibilities for its next installment.    … Expand

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and they don't feel one dimensional. One of the many strengths of the game is the music. It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, and the music is truly touching. The themes match every character perfectly and even adds to their personality even more, you can listen to tifa's theme for example. The boss themes are epic and exiting, listen to one winged angel for example.… Expand

First 4 hours of the original game and they make it into 40 here. Anyone saying Its not the same story must not be paying attention. Worth it if you enjoy fast paced heavily story driven games.

    There is a LOT of padding and filler, and at times just felt like a FF15 reskin, especially with the poor camera angles; however, it was still an enjoyable experience and I look forward to the next chapter. I just hope they cut all the unnecessary padding and filler, and stick to the main story line while flushing out the character development.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bloated mess of a game. Outside the music and fantastic visuals, the only thing good about this game is the combat system, but that's only at the start. After a while, you realize that it's all spectacle and no substance, which is Nomura's specialty.

    All they had to do was follow the original game and expand a bit here and there, but instead they decided to cram the game with useless filler so they can justify slicing it up and selling it in parts for $60 - $100 a pop. And don't even get me started on the corrupt decision to lock the DLC to the PS5 only. Sucks to suck for the people who got this game on the PS4.

    The story is such a mess I don't even know where to begin. First off, the reveal that Sephiroth was the one Cloud was seeing in those brief black outs, is not only wrong, but completely ruins Sephiroth's reveal later on. In the original, Sephiroth's reveal was masterfully done. Walking through the hallways of the Shrina building, seeing the trail of blood as you came across mutilated corpses of enemies you were just struggling to fight and then finding the body of the Shinra president. It made you terrified of Sephiroth. This time, they show him right off the bat and ruin any sort of build up to the fact that he's alive. Yes, the original came out 30 years ago and everyone knows that Sephiroth is alive, but that doesn't excuse poor story telling. If A New Hope was remade and they added a bunch of scenes where Vader was taunting Luke through the Force and told him right away he's Luke's father, it would be seen as a massive misstep and downright insulting. Everyone knows that Vader is Luke's father, but that doesn't make the reveal in Empire any less impactful all these years later. Changing the Sephiroth reveal shows that they have no idea how to tell a story, but I should have expected that with Nomura at the helm of this project.

    The entire idea that Cloud and Sephiroth are fate-crossed enemies is a bunch of bull crap, as well. Go play the original. Sephiroth barely even notices Clouds existence other than seeing him as a useful pawn. Them being fated enemies never even comes into play. At most, Cloud hates Sephiroth and wants to kill him.

    And to top it all off, the in-game representation of fans of the original game, the ones that have been pleading for a remake for 20+ years are the final villain of part 1. The arbiters of fate or whatever they were called are trying to have this new game follow the story beats of the original and they have you kill them off. They have you kill off the in-game representation of the people who wanted the game to be true to the original. How is that not seen as a massive insult? It's a spit in the face to people who asked for a remake for years and then got this hot mess.

    TLDR: This game sucked and Nomura is an idiot.    … Expand

    Jugabilidad
    - 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.    … Expand

Cada local, desde as ruas movimentadas até os ambientes mais sombrios, é ricamente detalhado, imergindo o jogador em um mundo rico e envolvente.

    A narrativa do jogo é uma verdadeira obra de arte, com uma história complexa e envolvente que nos leva por reviravoltas emocionantes e momentos de pura emoção. Os diálogos são bem escritos e os personagens têm suas motivações e arcos cuidadosamente desenvolvidos. A maneira como o jogo combina momentos intensos de ação com momentos mais calmos de exploração e interação é perfeitamente equilibrada, mantendo a nossa atenção e nos deixando ansiosos para descobrir o que acontece a seguir.

    Além disso, a trilha sonora do Final Fantasy VII Remake é absolutamente fenomenal. Desde as músicas icônicas que todos conhecemos e amamos até as novas composições que se encaixam perfeitamente no clima do jogo, cada faixa é uma obra-prima musical que nos envolve ainda mais na experiência. No geral, o Final Fantasy VII Remake é uma homenagem incrível ao jogo original, trazendo uma nova vida e uma nova perspectiva para uma história amada por tantos fãs ao redor do mundo.

    All in all, I really enjoyed it. It lasted about 40 hours for me. I think I could have done it in about 25 if I was rushing.

    Every recreated scene is fantastically done. There are a lot of points where they made minor plot changes to make the story more palatable for a modern audience and these are all really good, and I like them.

    I'm talking about major plot points beyond this point, though I'll try not to be too specific:

    :::SPOILERS:::
    :::
    :::
    :::
    :::
    The "whispers" storyline is... well... it's utter crap. It's 100% crap bred with 100% crap, meaning purebred crap with no additives. The whisper models themselves are pretty damn lame, and what they represent... well... let's just say that they wrote in a nonsense plotline to give themselves room to make major changes in the future if they want to.

    Because of this garbage plotline at least one, maybe two, characters that were dead when you're leaving Midgar in the original are now alive. One character is a major WTF if he actually is alive... like the story won't work lol so much would be different.

    It also made the ending drag ooooon foreeeeever I was so ready for it to be done. Not a good feeling.

    And... they kinda **** ruined Sepheroth for the new players. In the original, he's ominous, in the shadows of Cloud's memories, and all you see is the destruction he leaves behind. It's a slow and powerful build.

    Remember the wurmb scene? It's not gonna be nearly as impressive anymore now that the new players have seen the party fight Sepheroth AND WIN once already...

    Stupid stupid stupid. Bad ending is bad. It's bad enough that I'll hold off on pre-ordering part 2, and I'll wait until about a week after release, and if they ****g retcon a bunch of **** I'm just gonna pass.

    I enjoyed this remake up until the last three hours or so of it. Definitely worth getting. Just be prepared for the ending to piss you off or annoy you.    … Expand

This game was both nostalgic and new, I enjoyed reliving the first portion of the original classic (FF7 is my 3rd favorite FF game), and they gave the beginning of the story so much more meaning and the additions to the story really expand the universe of the FF7 series, and I can't wait for the sequel and see where it goes from here.
    Each character had great character arcs that really expanded who the characters were, my favorite was Barrett's story arc and seeing how passionate he was and seeing how he and Clouds relationship evolved over the course of the game. All character's personalities got really fleshed out and I felt like i got to know all of the characters better than i knew them before.

    The Combat was great, they took what was good from FF15 and combined it with was good about turned based combat and really made a great combat system similar to Kingdom Hearts, but with a much more fluid feeling.

    The story has a lot of good parts, the characters are better written than I anticipated. however most of the game is so padded with irrelevant faffing about that the pace just ends up downright terrible.

    As for the actual gameplay, the entire game is basically a really long corridor with some very simple environmental puzzles or side-activities.

    Combat is functional and has some variety and strategy to it, but it is very much style over substance, and dramatically overstays its welcome. It basically plays like a much worse version of Kingdom Hearts which decided to have the animations look cooler at the cost of not feeling nearly as good to control.

    The art & audio is fantastic though, as you'd expect, but frankly I see those as force-multipliers of the gameplay & story, and with gameplay this weak, and story this dragged out it just isn't enough to amount to more than "good". And frankly there are lots of great and amazing games out there, so I'd suggest playing those instead.

    In summary:

    I'd honestly suggest you just watch a lets' player play it instead. The story is too padded out, and there are many much better games if you want roughly its style of combat.    … Expand

    I played the original but didn't finish and I was probably near the end and I got really excited when this got release because of it. Despite being not the full experience of the FF7 story this is still really good game. I like the combat and the story. Some minor characters are given character development unlike in the original one.

    This is the best remake I've ever played.
    I loved the old Final Fantasy VII back in the days and due to the many changes - mostly due to the removal of the turn-based combat system - I was very skeptical and didn't feel any interest in playing it. A couple of months ago I somehow stumpled across the game, gave it a try and binged through it like I haven't in a long, long time.

    I really wanted to love this, but it's dull and repetiive, with depressing uninspired environments, constantly slowing your walk speed to a ludicrous crawl just to pad the game out, music is westernised and boring except the 'discs' you pick up which you can't hear properly just through a tin-y filter effect. background characters talk over each other so you can't hear anything said.

Cloud is not likeable and none of the characters are well voice acted or scripted in the english dub in my opinion. The game simply isn't fun, or if it is it's fun for 30 seconds then back to walking down a long corridor for 25 minutes. They should not have released this as seperate games but as one game and not padded it out. Let's hope the next parts are a big improvement.… Expand

    No doubt, this is a AAA game with some fantastic exterior graphics and a very beautiful recreation of Midgar which adds a lot of points and value due to the nostalgia factor. I understand that it is not an easy task to recreate this legendary ps1 era game but the designers did overall a good job. The game has many many flaws but also a lot of strong points which will keep your interest.No doubt, this is a AAA game with some fantastic exterior graphics and a very beautiful recreation of Midgar which adds a lot of points and value due to the nostalgia factor.

The game has many many flaws but also a lot of strong points which will keep your interest. Throughout the game you become the feeling that many parts of the original game got stretched only for the sake of adding gameplay hours. Some dungeons are definitely tedious and many aspects of the original story were changed. Personally I didnt like these changes. But still the quality of the production is so good that you will still keep playing without losing interest. Is it the remake I expected? No. Is it a masterpiece like the original ff7? No.
    But still it is a quality product every final fantasy fan should not miss.    … Expand

    I've never played a Final Fantasy game but I've heard by many that Final Fantasy VII was one of the most important videogames ever made. Final Fantasy VII Remake was my first game in the series and... oh boy, where do I begin! The story is good in my opinion and even though the ending is divisive, I liked it personally and I think that it's too early to criticize it. The main charactersI've never played a Final Fantasy game but I've heard by many that Final Fantasy VII was one of the most important videogames ever made. Final Fantasy VII Remake was my first game in the series and... oh boy, where do I begin! The story is good in my opinion and even though the ending is divisive, I liked it personally and I think that it's too early to criticize it. The main characters are some of my favorites in a videogame! Most of the side-characters are amazing as well, especially Jessie, Sephiroth and Reno. The combat system is excellent! It's like a combination of Hack 'n' Slash & Turn Based at the same time, there are 4 completely different party members to control, tons of different skills, items and builds to use, it's very deep and organic, it feels awesome and it looks phenomenal! The RPG elements and the Materia system are just wonderful! The bosses are some of the best I've ever encountered in a videogame. The music is fantastic for sure and it fits the visuals perfectly! Visually, this is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played! The lighting, the animations, the textures & the setting are breathtaking! Lastly, the set pieces and the visual representation are the best I've ever seen! Some cutscenes look like they are out of a CGI movie and there are so many jaw-dropping moments! I do have few minor complaints though; the textures look bad at times, some chapters feel significantly longer than they should've been (Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 14), and the side-quests are uninteresting.

    Pros: + Interesting story + Awesome characters + Flawless gameplay + Outstanding set pieces + Incredible music & boss fights + Absolutely gorgeous visuals

    Cons:
    Texture issues
    Minor pacing issues
    Weak side-quests

    Narrative: 7/10 Gameplay: 10/10 Content: 8/10 Characters: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Graphics/Audio: 10/10

    Final Rating: 10/10
    Masterpiece -
    Simply put, Final Fantasy VII Remake is one my favorite videogames of all time and I can't wait for the next installments.

    Do I recommend it?: Yes, to both fans and newcomers.    … 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?
