    Only who never played a Final Fantasy game in his whole life can consider this FF7 Remake trash the best.
    And if the current fandom accept this incomplete trash, there's no way to make this franchise good anymore...

    A horrendous remake made by Square Enix to put another nail in the coffin of a dying franchise.
    Nomura menage to ruin a game with an already written plot and ruined the original good gameplay for make it more casual friendly....
    Pure trash, just like that ff16 garbage, Square isn't able to make new good Final Fantasy game today

    Il peggior Remake che io abbia mai avuto la sfortuna di giocare
    Una schifezza commerciale senza precedenti che, alla fine, prosegue la scia di distruzione dell'universo narrativo di FF7

    A boring action game and a dull Final Fantasy game
    First of all it's incomplete, and second it wasn't even a Remake in the first place.
    Why even bother to defend this fanfiction?
    Oh... yeah.... The fanservice right?

    Final Fantasy VII Remake 358/2 Days Reboot
    Questo è il vero titolo del gioco.
    E cioè Final Fantasy 7 ridotto a pezzi, riscritto, e con una pesante skin di Kingdom Hearts che modifica anche gli eventi dell'originale.
    Pesssimo

    A terrible action game and a bad Final Fantasy game
    I was baffled by all the flaws that dominate the almost totality of this game.
    Because if we add the linearity of all the maps to the laughable and pointless rewritten plot, the stereotypical characters feels out of place and not believable at all...

    One of the most terrible actions games I've had the misfortune to play. A bad Final Fantasy game.
    Very linear, very easy, monotonous, boring and with a plot so bad that it leaks everywhere...

    A bad action jrpg and the worst possible kind of "remake" ever made.
    The combact system is a braindead button smashing, the linear exploration is poor, the characters development are completely stereotyped, and the whole plot feels like a pudding and boring filler of the original game.
    Overall a game that doesn't have nothing of really remarkable, if we exclude the OST, and that is    A bad action jrpg and the worst possible kind of "remake" ever made.

Characters are unlikeable. Cloud and Aerith are awful. Secondary characters like Johnny and Kyrie get too much screen time and are more meme than human. There’s also an uncomfortable alliance with ‘The Trio’ even though they are sex traffickers. This game almost glorifies the villains, and the heroes just kinda suck.

    Environments are static and lifeless, there are next to no interactions, or world building. In fact there are numbers of opportunity to insert lore and it’s absent.

    The battle system is nothing but lame lizard brain gameplay, the original turn-based system was better.    … Expand

    Enemies are hard and the action is not exhilarating.
    The dungeon is long and the tempo is bad.
    The story ends in the middle of the game and is different from the original story.

Or maybe it's because of it. Sqare Enix expects you to pay more for the remake than the original ever was whilst offering less content, less playability, almost no post-game whatsoever and the outsight to pay even more for the upcoming parts god knows how many of them there will be. The only part in which the game delivers in abundance are the cutscenes, and boy do they take much space of the game. Well the problem is, i bought a game and not a CGI movie. I play games to have an active time, if i wanna sit passively on the couch i would have chosen to watch a movie or some series. I played the game together with a friend, there were numerous times someone got the controller handed just to lay it back down after holding it for ten minutes during another cutscene-fest. I know very well that cutscenes have been an important part in FF7, but the former parts usually had long stretches of free gameplay and freedom so the breaks were spread out widely and thus not interrupting the gameplay. The remake has barely any freedom in gameplay nor any interesting parts or longer stretches of pure playing, it basically feels like the game is playing you, only needing the player to get to the next loading zone starting another cutscene. I know many people view it differently, but for me cutscenes, no matter how many hours there are, are a small percentage of the whole presentation. So if it comes to rate the game, id give cutscenes a 10/10, which is great, but it only determines around five percent of the games overall rating, so you can put in as many hours as you want, it wont be a better game at the end, i dont care. I take the other 20 hours of the actual game and rate that accordingly, like the cutscenes wouldnt even exist, which leaves you with an absolute garbage game no one would even remotely think about giving a proper rating. Dont get fooled by eyecandy and looks, it drags you away from viewing things as they really are. Actual gameplay, as already mentioned, is streamlined to the max. There is not one situation in the game that needs your decisions, not even thoughts. Its as casual as it can get, feels terribly bland and its not worth at all diving into any builds for your characters, because your party isnt together anyway for the most part of the game. Dont even bother building one char as support, because chances are extremely high after the next cutscene this char will be removed from the party for another 8 hours (6 hours of cutscenes) and you need another character to do the job. Just build every char as allrounder so they can to everything on your own, it wont give you good damage or fun with different classes, but there are no real mechanics anyway that matter a lot in terms of fighting, the game, as mentioned, just needs you to get to the next cutscene, after that almost all your former gear gets useless anyway because you reached the new tier items without even realising. To the people that say "not every gamer enjoys the hardcore-postgame and grind, some just want have a relaxing gaming time after a days work" i will only reply: imagine getting home after a hard day, looking forward to play two hours of fine FF7 gameplay because thats all the precious time you got, then after those two hours you watched 103 minutes of cutscenes, spent 11 minutes in the menu trying to figure out if you need sth. for the upcoming fights and a whooping six minutes of actual gameplay. No thanks, how frustrating. Play Uncharted or the Last of Us if you wanna have a good casual gaming experience. For me the new FF7 experience is a true disappointment, and by shattering their masterpiece into pieces, Square Enix undoubtedly showed their only aim is to squeeze as much money out of it as possible. Have fun paying 400 bucks for a 5 piece set of CGI movies with some gameplay on top of it, im gonna play the original instead and celebrate a true game.… Expand

    Graphics, Square Enix put a lot, and I mean a lot, of time and resources in making the characters look beautiful but everything is complete sh**. They literally put a JPEG in 1 area. But it does have great cutscenes and made a 2D world in 3D showing off more then what was originally there in the PS1 version.

But it does have great cutscenes and made a 2D world in 3D showing off more then what was originally there in the PS1 version.
    Sound,
    Has almost the same music as the PS1 version the difference is the Remake has more instruments.
    While the music is not bad the surrounding sounds, voices, etc. seem to not know which needs to be louder. You could be done with an objective and listening to what the game wants you to do next but you won’t be able to hear it over the people in the background talking about their day and how they hate the Shinra company, this way too often.
    Gameplay,
    Gameplay is 3rd person hack n’slash with a menu you can use to pause the fight so you can choose what magic or item you want to use. If you’ve played Kingdom Hearts, think of that but the menu can pause the fight. Playing through isn’t bad but if you want to grind like some people like to do so they can be ready for the next fight, you can’t, well sort of. You can grind but have to go to a simulator to have a better chance to level, you can grind outside but the respawn rate of these enemies is fairly long.
    The good is
    Story,
    It follows the same story as the PS1 version but makes a turn halfway through the game. SE added extra stuff in to pad the run time since this game is only from the beginning to leaving Midgar, if you played the original, you’ll know this is like 10% of the game. I spent most of my time on the mini game, Fort Condor.
    The difference in story comes like a dream, Cloud will go through the game like normal but will randomly see Sephiroth when in the original game he was never there. This begins the split in game because now you’ll be seeing ghosts. These ghosts come in when the story makes a change and tries to correct the story to the way it is suppose too. It later shows Sephiroth is behind this or at least ok with these changes.
    Intergrade Story,
    This story is taken from Yuffies point making her come to Midgar because she’s apart of a group to take down Shinra. This by the way never happened. This is really it; she goes to Midgar does something that ultimately doesn’t matter she then leaves to go home, this takes all of 30 mins.
    Overall,
    If you’ve never played Final Fantasy 7 and this is your first time with this story you won’t know any better, but at the same time you won’t know how the story is supposed to be and why it is being changed or what is being changed.
    For those who have played FF7 and enjoyed the game, you will not like this game or not enjoy what SE is doing to the game.
    Even if you enjoy the story the game is a very small part of what the original game is, if they follow the original story and change parts of it.
    I can see SE making many main games of this Remake just to make money. They already made 2 other games branching from this game.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a complete package, telling the story of Midgar from two different perspectives. Both the main campaign following Cloud and his journey, and Yuffie's own adventure, are well told with tight and responsive gameplay along with an impressive graphical update. These tales each leave exciting questions to be answered, and this reviewer can't wait to see what awaits Cloud and his friends beyond the City of Mako.

    Final Fantasy Remake Intergrade is technically impressive. Fixing many of the original release’s technical issues while also improving the game for next-gen hardware. INTERmission offers an excellent character edition with that of Yuffie with some excellent gameplay to boot. Intergrade is simply more of the best parts of Final Fantasy VII Remake.
