    A fantastic remake of the original Final Fantasy VII. A reimagining of first third or so of the original game and this is truly the greatest final fantasy game ever created in my opinion (with second place going to the original). Can't wait for part 2 - Rebirth!

    One of the best Remakes ever made, English voice actors/actresses are absolutely incredible. Combat is fun, story is amazing. This is must play for anyone who has never heard of this game.

    While I never played the original FF7 game, the remake entertained me very well. Everything about this game seems high quality.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Final fantasy 7 is a game that needs no introduction. When it came out it made Jrpgs awesome in the west and people started to recognize the genre. To this day people still look back fondly on this game thinking about The amazing protagonist Cloud or the cute and hilarious Aerith as well as Sephiroth one of the most iconic video game villains of all time. However we are no longer in 1997 time has passed since the original Adventure with cloud and the gang. In 2015 Final fantasy 7 Remake was announced and it was a sight to behold a remake of a beloved game. So many were excited for this game and were excited to experience FF7 all over again except with a modern version of the game. I myself was excited although there existed a problem I was an Xbox and Nintendo owner I didn't have a PlayStation. So the game came out and I didn't get to play it at launch time passed and in 2021 I finally got my hands on a PlayStation 5 it was time to finally try it. One thing I should mention Final fantasy 7 remake is only part one of the remake there will be 2 more parts released later on. And when I went to play the game it was magical not only was it everything I wanted it to be, not only was it breathtaking, it was everything I ever wanted in a Remake of Final fantasy 7 and even more. The game in my eyes has surpassed the high expectations I had for it. Let's start by talking about the big thing the story. Final fantasy 7 Remake for the most part is the original story but with differences that make the story engaging and fresh even for people that have already played the original game. I really liked the added context for story and the expansion of Midgar it was absolutely phenomenal and it's amazing. Gonna talk spoilers rq towards the end of the game a decent amount of stuff happens that was not at all in the original game. Many out there dislike this and think it completely ruins the story and game. How do I feel about it you ask? I for one love the changes made it makes sense when you remember this is Final fantasy 7 Remade for modern times it never was gonna be 1:1 to the original. The story is the same it's just being told slightly differently and I absolutely love it so far everything that has happened I'm completely on board for it has me theorizing what's next and it has my absolutely excited for the future games and man if part 1 was this good I bet part 2 and 3 will be amazing too. I wanna touch on the topic of characters all of them have received amazing Voice acting and it matches the characters from the original game really well. I'm only gonna talk about 1 character for time's sake I'm gonna talk about my fav character of all time Aerith. In this game Aerith was treated with such respect that it just felt like FF7 Aerith in everyway but better in some ways and I love it. every scene with her made me really happy and to see her be done with Justice it's really touching I love the care that went into preserving what made Aerith great in the original game. As she was then she's adorable and absolutely funny while also being emotionally touching. I love everything they did with her I could go on and on but I'll move on. Let's talk gameplay the original Final fantasy 7 was a turn based RPG. For those in the know you probably noticed my last sentence was false which good eye. Final fantasy 7 the original uses an atb system which basically means enemies can attack you if you are too slow you do you gotta learn to be fast in it. In Remake they went for an action approach and let me just say. This is my favorite combat system in any video game what they have done here makes me really happy. Blocking attacks is important for defense and in a good amount of encounters helps defeat enemies with insane offensive abilities. After landing a lot of hits or waiting you get atb charges which in this game let you cast a magic or use an ability which uses the atb charge and these can help you turn the tide of battles. Materia also is here and let's you customize and make your own builds which adds to replayability and it's just an amazing system. The ability to switch characters at anytime makes it so you can have full control of the battle and just is so fun to perform. There's even more but I'll leave it at that. Music in this game is some of the best music I've ever heard one of my favorite soundtracks of all time easily. If it wasn't apparent from all the praise you just read Final fantasy 7 Remake is one of my favorite games of all time as of writing this I would probably put the original and remake as my 2nd fav of all time it just clicks with me and does things I personally adore in gaming. My final score for Final fantasy 7 Remake is a 10/10 I love this game so much… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Remake of perhaps my most beloved game that really accomplished what I believe it set out to do and I am very exceded to see where Square goes with this. Though it is more of a sequel reboot than a remake, I actually prefer it that way. Myself, and I feel a lot of other people, have wished they could forget about a game so they could experience it for the very first time all over again, and the remake trilogy will be the closest we ff7 fans will get to that operatunity (aside from anyone who might get amnesia). I heard a conspiracy theory before that the entire original game of ff7 was a vision in Aerith’s head; the fact that we see her face in the beginning and at the end could be used as evidence for this, but that seems a little weak. Though the remake seems to indicate that that could be true!
    The only real criticisms I have with this game is that the expanded content wasn’t entirely perfect. The only chapter I felt to have been kind of unnecessary and drawn out was the revisit to the sewers in chapter 14 (it would have actually made a good side quest tho). It also would have been good if there were some side quests on top of the plate where I would like to have spent more time. A lot of the side quests they did have were a little tedious, but a few were a really nice touch and I also think the side content will likely be better in part two, as that game will probably cover more of the story and be able to more easily fit in new stuff due to the new timeline. I also didn't like it when the characters only survived because of fate, but fate is dead now, so that will be fixed in part 2 as well.
    Ultimately, I cannot say I disliked or felt bored during any part of the game. I loved this game and everything else from the music, to the battle system, to the characters, to 95% of the story was perfect. Let's just hope they don't screw it up in part 2, but I've loved what they've done so far so I put my faith in them, for now anyway.    … Expand

    This is the objective demonstration of how much Nomura actually cares about all the people that simply asked for a faithful remake.

    A cutscenes every 20 minutes and a totally linear maps don't incentive the 0 exploration of the game, with also atrocious side quest.

With this being a reimagined and modernized version of the game, I sadly can not NOT compare this to the original FF as I write this. Obviously, graphically it is far superior to the original version, but that was the only aspect, that exceeded the original. The game struggled with the FF XIII tube-like world system - in OG FF 7, the world felt massive and open to explore (Yes, I do get that this isn't the full FF7 experience yet - the stroy continues) but this game is built the same way FF XIII was (My least favourite of the franchise so far) You watch a pretty cinematic (and they are pretty!) then you wander into a tube-like world with no real freedom to explore, mostly getting from point A to B. Then there is a bossfight and then you do it all over again. Luckily the delivery of this system is well polished and if you like games for their stories - this one is for you. I do have to wonder though, if I've never played original FF7, would I even have any idea what is going on most of the game or who is this Sephiroth dude, that just drops haikus and leaves mysteriously half of the times. I know I started the review on a bit negative undertone, but I actually did love my playthrough. It just can't compete with the original game experience, and that is fine. Pick it up if you are a FF fan - you will love it!… Expand

    I have a love hate for this game. I was a teen when this game originally released and I loved it. I realized now that the story is still great and relevant but the gameplay in this version is flawed if not broken in some battles. I prefer the original only because this was a bad execution of the active RPG mechanic.

I realized now that the story is still great and relevant but the gameplay in this version is flawed if not broken in some battles. I prefer the original only because this was a bad execution of the active RPG mechanic.

    Grinding isn't really a thing you can do but it feels very necessary and even if you try it's far more time consuming than before. Weapons, items, and accessories feel really useless throughout most of the game. I feel like the game heavily relies on its active battle mechanic but too many enemies have long portions where you just wait for your bar to fill and use magic. It always seemed like I spent too much time managing which materia and equips I had instead of playing which is kind of expected for an RPG but annoying for an active RPG. There's no quick swap for loadouts and that's just a huge fail.

    Some standard enemy battles are way harder than boss battles. A few points had just a group of enemies that somehow wiped the floor with my team. Ones with grapples are the worst. The dodge time is incredibly specific and you can't block them. The enemies later in the game will almost always focus on the character you're playing which causes you to constantly jump around. I had moments where 4 enemies would team up and just do perpetual damage and grabs to every character I had control of. It was terrible.

    I still love the story. The voice acting is pretty good. The graphics look great and I rarely ran into any problems with the game as long as you keep it in performance mode. Graphics mode is choppy and slow, almost unplayable. The quality improvement is marginal so keep it in performance. All in all I like it but you can tell this was made by people who understand RPG first and active action battle last.

    The worst part of battle is that you can use a spell or ability and it can be canceled by any enemy at any time doing an attack on you. At some parts of the game this happening once or twice can mean you are going to run out of HP.    … Expand

The hard level bosses are both challenging and fun, and the story is hype for the original ff7 fans. The only bad thing is there are so many time wasting side quests.

    Utterly beautiful, with an excellent combat system that integrates real-time & turn-based play seamlessly. My only gripes may be that it is a bit too bloated, and the last 2 chapters are an unending sequence of boss fights (which for a certain type of player may be a plus, though). A stellar remake.

    A great in-between game for FF7 remake and FF7 Rebirth, the story follows Yuffie as she dwells into Midgar. The game expands on the story with what Yuffie was doing before meeting the main group of Cloud and friends. The combat stays the same but with a new mechanic team combat. Overall its a great game to play and for those who love the story will enjoy the added side story of Yuffie.

    Bad game for those who actually play final fantasy games.

    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

    The game is scripted to death, it should have been a TV series, so at least you could browse a smartphone 50% of time during another "exciting" sequence of walking-talking along a corridor where you can move only in one direction...
    It's unfortunate as the visuals, the world and the ambience are pretty well done...

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade (FF7) includes a 4-5 hour DLC tale covering the Wutai ninja Yuffie Kisagari’s mission in Midgar against the Shinra Corporation. This DLC is fantastic and an excellent extenuation of the gameplay in the base game. The FF7 remake combat overhaul was the best part of the FF7 remake and is the best part of its DLC as well. Combat is smooth, combos are bombastic and powerful, and tactical decision-making is free flowing and fun. Materia slotting and weapon upgrading also work well here. The system allows the player to focus on whatever play style they prefer, whether that be melee combat or magic use. The game’s narrative is broken up in two chapters. Chapter 1 involves Yuffie arriving at Midgar and joining up with the local Wutai affiliated Avalanche branch. Basically, the organization works to undermine the Shinra Corporation that rules over Midgar. This chapter uses many of the same locations and set pieces from the base game. The sector 7 slums are copy and pasted but do include some new fun mini activities. These include the Fort Condor mini game, Ramuh battle, and turtle poster collecting. Initially, I thought I would skip the Fort Condor card game style mini game, but I played through the entire challenge and quite enjoyed it. I also appreciate the fact that the mini game is an homage to the original Final Fantasy 7’s Fort Condor area. The turtle poster collecting is also mindless fun. Chapter 2 involves infiltrating Shinra headquarters, taking on Shinra’s head of weapons development, Scarlet, and fighting the SOLDIER Nero the Sable. I enjoyed facing off against Scarlet and Nero in intense boss battles. Chapter 2 also contains a fun crate destruction based mini game. Achieving the highest score in this mini game requires almost perfect play from Yuffie and is very fun. The DLC’s ending includes an emotional send off with Yuffie suffering loss in the final moments. The emotional beats did not really land for me, but I can appreciate the narrative tale for what it is. Ultimately, FF7 Intergrade is a fantastic DLC that continues much of the base remake’s improvements with some added fun. A good story for Yuffie Kisagari.… Expand

    The decision to lock the DLC to the PS5 is a massive spit in the face to everyone who bought this on the PS4 and still don't have a PS5. Way to keep spitting on your fans, Square.

A huge chunk of the game is spent walking slower than real life and maneuvering around npcs while feeling like you’re walking through thick, deep molasses. I get that some of the slow movement is to mask loading screens, but I don’t think that’s true in most cases. And upgrading this for PS5, loading times shouldn’t be any issue. I never played the original so maybe I just don’t have enough nostalgia for this game, but it’s the most painfully slow game I think I’ve ever played. When it shines it does so splendidly though!… Expand

    Imagine to buy an incomplete game, and be scammed by an "exclusive" DLC that was made only for a marketing deal, and forgetting about all the other that only bought the first version on PS4.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is now the single biggest disappointment in my 35-year history of gaming. I played the original on pc back in 2000, so my opinion on the remake was coming from high expectations since it's been 20 years since the original and I've played every installment since then and they keep getting better. Personally, this was my #1 most anticipated title for the PS5, and is now an overwhelming letdown.

    Spoilers & old-man-stick-shaking ahead:

    First, of all, I must be an idiot because I didn't realize that this isn't the whole game/story of FF7. I admit I avoided all trailers & reviews before playing it, but it's not like the title is "FF7:RI, PART ONE" unless "Intergrade" means "Part 1" & I don't know it? So I was massively disappointed to figure that out by playing up to that point and then getting slapped in the face with that insane reveal: To Be Continued...

    Second, in my first playthrough 20 years ago, I made 2 mistakes in that playthrough:
    One, I didn't know the twist, so I was beefing up Aerith without the knowledge that you lose her. I lost some great materia and armor that Aerith had equipped and there was no getting it back when she died unless you load up an old save point - but the twist was worth totally it, and it taught me a valuable lesson.
    Two, I totally rushed through the game in my first playthrough so when I got to the end with Mother & Sephiroth, which is a point-of-no-return, so I was severely underpowered with no chance to win. After multiple losses, I admitted total defeat & had to roll back to a manual save point, which meant I lost hours & hours and had to grind to get to be powerful enough to have a fighting chance at the end; in hindsight, I deserved it because the original wasn't a game to rush through. All in all, I loved the original and probably played it start-to-finish 3 or 4 times.

    So... this run through, I've been anticipating the coming loss of Aerith so I neglected her and opted to use other characters whenever possible. Only now do I know that there's no point to have done that because in this version, up to the cliffhanger, she's still alive so I could've been using her the whole goddamn time.

    I was extremely disappointed in so many things about this Remake - I expected much more depth & dimension to the world and missions but everything was still mostly like the original - pretty much going point A-to-B-to-C with little option to stray from the main story's path. Also, seeing that it's been a quarter of a decade since the original, I was hoping for an upgrade in the Materia Summon animations, but I felt like they were actually a step backwards from the original. The OG FF7 had eyepopping visuals (compared to everything else in that ancient era of gaming) and I felt like the Remake was good but not mind-blowing for what gaming is capable of today.

    I was hoping for extra dimensions to the game, like more enemies, a wider variety in armor, weapons, & abilities, or perhaps crafting; maybe they are there and I didn't explore everything, but I really feel like I traversed every back alley and tunnel and I completed every single useless side mission.

    I also feel like maybe not all the story beats were covered - all the villains were not fully fleshed out, and Sephiroth, who was a hall-of-fame video game villain, one of the all-time greats, is just a shell of the original with little-to-no intimidation factor. How can we be through part one and not have a complete fear of Sephiroth at this point?

    Also, come on - you don't even get a chance to equip Red XIII to your party? Seriously?!

    There were so many mini-games in the original which maybe you don't get to until the next half, but, with all the lackluster and hollow gameplay up to this point, I'm so disappointed that I've lost all desire to play the next installment unless its a PS Plus freebie.

    I guess I was just so hyped for the Remake since I played the original a full lifetime ago, and I was hoping to share this with my wife and kids and introduce them to a game I loved so much. This was just such a let down that, aside from a few cutscenes, so there wasn't much worth sharing.

    If this was your first experience with FF7 or you're a FF diehard fan, maybe you love this, but I feel embarrassed for wanting this game so badly, only to discover that this is just half of a mostly mediocre game. Nostalgia is a ****    … Expand

    The graphics are great, everything looks pretty damn beautiful. No complaints there. Midgar feels lively and the different areas are very detailed and visually interesting. The music's amazing and very nostalgic. I really liked most of the new orchestral versions. Combat has never felt this good in a JRPG. The long boss fights are especially awesome and the changes to weapons and materia are welcome. However, gameplay can be frustrating too as the remake's just as linear as the original but somehow ends up feeling more confined and restricted. Outside of combat the game often feels kind of bland, and that brings me to the story.

    Almost everything that worked in the original game works in this one too, but I absolutely disliked the huge plot changes. I didn't mind how they expanded on some side characters, but all the new characters are so cringe-worthy or boring. Voice actors are good, but the dialogue is so-so. It's definitely good at times, but atrociously bad throughout the game. So many weird "sex noises", anime grunts and gasps. Just terrible. The story is stretched out and filled with meaningless side quests nobody cares about. The pacing is all over the place and the story lacks urgency. The stakes should be high, but they feel almost irrelevant. The ending is utter nonsense and I didn't like it.

    Thanks to its excellent combat and beautiful graphics, I mostly enjoyed the remake. It's very nostalgic and the long boss fights are really awesome and worth experiencing. It sucks how big a disappointment the plot changes were. However, it's only a game. No one plays Pacman for the plot, and I actually really like the combat in FF7R so I'll live with the changes and enjoy playing the best Final Fantasy game in ages.

    The DLC was also great if way too short. The hard mode wasn't that hard and "ng+" feels more like an afterthought. It also has the most challenging bosses (damn you Weiss). 100% both game and DLC.    … Expand

    Atrociously overpriced. Not only is this a remake of a game that came out ages ago, it has also been out for SIX MONTHS already on PS5.

    However, Square has the gall to price this at $70?!? For a 6 month old game? This is NOT WORTH IT. Don't believe the hype.

I'm a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, but this is just too much greed for me. Since they decided to price gouge on release, I'd suggest waiting for it hit $30, and grab it then. No need to get this right away.

    I'd pause to consider, even if this was Final Fantasy 16. $60 is plenty for a AAA title, and nowadays you need to pay an extra $30 for the "season scam pass" just to get the full game.

    Square just turned the greed up to 11. Don't take the bait.    … Expand

    The rushed, quickly-made filler DLC of the horrendous remake of the legendary title Final Fantasy 7,
    continuing Nomura and his team's undertaking in destroying everything the original game was.

    Go figure why the remake isn't...
    Go figure why the remake, while being a game 20 years later vastly better graphically, doesn't even succeed to reach at least the original game score, even here on this website ?

    This DLC, conveniently released barely a year after the remake title, do you will really think it can save this whole remake ?
    No, of course it's not... But it gives you the clear message of what this whole remake will be...
    A disappointing major title claimed to be a proper and faithful "remake" that is actually a mediocre subpar Final Fantasy title that does hold to its parents' legacy and now is (and will be) filled with rushed DLC at full-price every now and then, trying to milk money from those who, for some reasons, are happy of what the story of the legendary Final Fantasy 7 has been turned into... or those in denial of what the vast project of remaking FF7 has ended into, thanks to the revengeful shenanigan of some people who believes every story should be a Kingdom Heart "fight fate and destiny and fans' will into a 4th wall-breaking fight against boss and ennemis impersonating them as a big F-you".

    Intergrade is just the cheap sequel of a overwhelmingly sabotaged, disappointing remake.

    Best of the Best. Can't wait for part 2
    This game has re-established its identity as JRPG without losing the original charm.
    There is no doubt that best final fantasy for original fans.
    And for newcomer, Best final fantasy in the last decade.

    Good game, but definitely overrated and way inferior than the original. It is also not a "remake", but a "reboot" or a "reimagining" of FFVII, with important changes in the story. It is also important to note that this is not the whole experience, but the 1st part of what it might become a trilogy.

    Technically its a marvel, and the OST is one of the best of all time. However, none of this is important considering the game that it "remakes". Everything that is taken from the original game stands out, amd few elements are even improved (more screentime for secondary characters gives depth). But unfortunately, many elements have been either dragged on (to infinity) or dumbed down.

    Story changes aside (there are many, specially towards the end, but they are kinda subjective), the lenght of the game is artificially increased by adding terrible secondary tasks and making irrelevant areas longer (destroyed highway or Hojo's lab for example).

    Combat is way less strategic than the original, and battles get repetitive even against bosses (some of them can take up to 30min). The camera is also bad, and we are often unable to tell what is even happening, specially with lots of enemies, flying foes or huge bosses. Summonings are great, but they don't appear many times. Overall, less challenging and deep than the old turn-based system.

    The PS5 version is definitely the way to go, as 60fps and improved loading times are a gamechanger. The DLC is nice (a bit too short though) and introduces the old character of Yuffie to this new version of the story. Good game but drastically overrated just because of its name.    … Expand

    Very impressed about this game! This was the first Final Fantasy I have played and had alot of fun with it. The story was very good, the bosses were actually very hard (which made the game very fun!!) and the characters were cool. The only downside were the graphics. The game played good with a 60 fps lock but the overall looks of the game were outdated.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game that I enjoyed playing more than anything else got a expansion that builds off on some of the games week points. And even included a fun mini game and 2 characters from the other ff7 games that were handled better than I could’ve expected. What’s holding me back on a 10 though is the main games flaws are still there. Some not fun puzzles, level design could use some work, and even though I like the new direction of the story, it’s delivery to the players is kind of dumped onto the player and can be confusing. Other than that I highly recommend this game for anyone especially rpg fans.… Expand

    If I loved the PS4 version of this game, Intergrade just made it so much better! No loading times, textures have been improved so much, increased resolution, improved lighting & 60 fps just makes it nearly perfect, Also, the Yuffie DLC is so much fun! And Fort Condor mini game is pure nostalgia. Can't wait for Part 2!

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade shows the correct way to conclude a console generation’s journey. But beware - the Intermission episode won’t really satisfy the hunger for the next instalment - on the contrary, your impatience will probably only increase.

    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.
