    白金通关。游戏战斗难度不高，本体白金除了hard难度最终boss战以外几乎没什么压力。最高机密也是一次通过。DLC的终极机密和魏斯有点小难度，但也在1小时内搞定。最难的奖杯反而是Tifa引体向上和尤菲篇的神罗箱子破坏王

    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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:

    + Gorgeous
    + Incredible Combat
    + Outstanding Characters
    + Charming Dialogue
    + Magnificent Soundtrack, they didn’t need every single chapter to have its own variation on the battle theme but wow am I glad they do.
    + Story is wonderful, Midgar no longer feels like a starting city that only exists to kick the plot off, but instead like a living, breathing, city that is truly important to the cast and their development. The ending was unexpected, but makes me hopeful for how the story will continue to change in future installments.
    + 9 DIFFERENT DRESSES
    + THE HONEYBEE INN
    + The two Intermission Chapters were good, but not as good as the base game. It was interesting to see the consequences of the main party’s actions from another perspective.
    + HARD MODE
    + Chapter Select
    + Materia System is still great
    + Weapon Evolution is great, it gets rid of the old formula, [New Shop = New Weapon + Sell Old Weapon] which was boring and lame.
    + Combat simulator eventually becomes absurdly difficult, so buckle up and get good if you want that Bahamut summon.

    Cons:

    -The Intermission was held back by Yuffie not being able to interact with the main party, but this could become a positive in the future because of how the story is set up for the sequel.

    -The “Dressed to the Nines” Achievement requires at least 3 playthroughs of Chapter 3, Chapter 6, and Chapter 7. The choice of which dress you get for Tifa is available in Chapter 3 only after all side-quests are completed. The dress you get for Aerith is dependent on the number of side-quests completed in Chapter 6. The dress you get for Cloud is dependent both on the number of sidequests and which side-quests are completed in Chapter 7. This is tedious, especially because the game doesn’t tell you which ones you’ve previously done, only how many you’ve done, so you must keep track yourself if you want to complete the achievement after playing each chapter 3 times.

    Overall this game is phenomenal. Play it. Some achievements can be tedious, and if you want to get all of the dresses, get ready for some tedium, though the reason I wanted to 100% this game in the first place was because it was so good that I actively looked for an excuse to keep playing. This game is a treat for any player.    … Expand

As a long-time fan of the original Final Fantasy VII, I approached this remake with a mix of excitement and apprehension. Yet, within moments of diving into the world of Midgar once again, any doubts were washed away, replaced by sheer awe and admiration for what Square Enix has achieved.

    From the moment I booted up the game, I was captivated by the stunning visuals. The enhanced graphics, thanks to the power of the PlayStation 5, are nothing short of breathtaking. The vibrant and meticulously detailed environments, the intricate character designs, and the spellbinding cinematic sequences blend seamlessly together, creating a visual feast that surpasses the boundaries of what I believed was possible.

    But it's not just the graphics that make Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade shine. The gameplay has been fine-tuned to perfection. The combat system strikes a harmonious balance between the strategic elements of the original game and the real-time action of modern gaming. Each battle is a thrilling dance, requiring swift reflexes, tactical decision-making, and flawless execution. Whether you prefer hacking away with Cloud's iconic Buster Sword or casting spells with Aerith's magical prowess, every character feels unique and deeply satisfying to control.

    The addition of the all-new episode featuring Yuffie Kisaragi is an absolute delight. This fan-favorite character is brought to life with incredible depth and charm, and her story intertwines seamlessly with the main narrative, providing fresh perspectives and surprises along the way. Yuffie's gameplay mechanics, with her acrobatic ninja-like moves and the lovable spirit companion, Sonon, add a new layer of excitement to the already stellar gameplay formula.

    One aspect that deserves special praise is the exceptional musical score. Nobuo Uematsu's masterful compositions from the original game are reimagined and enhanced, evoking powerful emotions that complement the on-screen events perfectly. Whether it's the epic bombast of the battle themes or the heart-wrenching melodies that accompany emotionally charged moments, the soundtrack adds an extra layer of depth to an already immersive experience.

    Beyond the technical and gameplay achievements, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade manages to capture the essence of the original game while introducing new surprises. The narrative is an absolute triumph, delivering a gripping and emotionally charged storyline that strikes a delicate balance between nostalgia and innovation. The characters are brought to life with such depth and authenticity that you'll find yourself invested in their journeys, sharing their joys, sorrows, and triumphs.

    Square Enix has not only recreated a beloved classic but expanded upon it, raising the bar for what a remake can be. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a testament to the power of storytelling, showcasing the potential of video games as an art form. It captures the spirit of the original while pushing boundaries and challenging conventions.

    In conclusion, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a masterpiece, a game that stands tall among the greatest of its generation. With its breathtaking visuals, refined gameplay mechanics, memorable characters, and a narrative that will leave you craving for more, it redefines what it means to remake a beloved classic. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the original or a newcomer to the world of Final Fantasy VII, this game is an absolute must-play, and a true testament to the power of gaming as a medium of storytelling. Prepare to be enchanted, enthralled, and ultimately, transformed by this remarkable experience.    … Expand

    - Some areas have significant padding. Some areas feel dragged on and you revisit this one dungeon twice for no reason. The final dungeon is a chore.

    Bottom Line:

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is a fantastic remake of the first act of Final Fantasy VII. It isn’t a 1-1 remake and there are changes to the narrative, but most of it is very faithful to the original source material. The combat is great, it looks great and it plays great with a fantastic OST. This is the best way to experience Final Fantasy VII Remake, so if you’re even remotely interested, pick this up ASAP while we wait for the second game to drop.    … 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.

    Если проходили оригинал, то игра определенно стоит внимания, т.к. снова увидеть и погрузиться в Мидгар во всей его красоте и «некрасоте» стоит определённо.
    Если сравнивать с фф15, то первое, что хочется отметить, это боёвка, которая в несколько раз лучше 15 части и достойна тягаться с DmC. Также в игре присутствует разнообразная прокачка и большое количество способностей. Графика отличная, даже в режиме производительности выглядело всё отлично и стабильно работало. Но хоть графика хорошая, такими красивыми видами как в фф15 игра не обладает, из-за основной локации на которой разворачиваются события игры.
    Если сравнивать игру с оригиналом, то в ремейке не были утеряны лучшие моменты оригинала и было добавлено несколько новых. В самой игре представлена только часть оригинальной игры, из-за того, что оригинальная часть была достаточно большой, а разработчики решили расширить саму игру и рассказать более подробно. В целом игра не особо отличается от оригинала, а была лишь расширена. Финальная битва была добавлена, из-за разделения игры, необходимости раскрыть злодея и затравочки на следующую часть, как по мне концепция сюжета от этого не изменится.
    Также остальные аспекты: Саундтрек отличный и держит высокую планку остальных финалок. Побочные активности и квесты сделаны неплохо, есть и интересные. Есть и недостатки у игры, главный из которых отсутствие русской локализации, что усложняет погружение в игру. Также некоторые локации затянуты. Система чекпоинтов сделана не лучшим образом.
    Заключение: игра обязательна к прохождению для знающих английский и является, пожалуй, лучшей игрой за последние 5 лет.    … Expand

The 3-4 hours of additional story do however feel abit too short to warrant its standalone price so I would suggest waiting out for a sale. My issues with this game are still the same regardless of the new quality of life updates. I still feel chapter 11 was weak, unnecessary and very boring to playthrough, Cloud as a character despite having his reasons for lack of emotions can feel really awkward and soulless in his interactions with other characters which also stems into another issue which is some of the writing is really poor and sometimes even corny which can bring players out of the immersion. In addition, the world, districts and areas you tackle throughout your journey in Midgard can be encountered with very tedious, boring and uninspired side content which is usually your typical fetch quest which sucks. However, if this is your first time playing or if you are a really big fan of remake then I would definitely recommend this version of the game as it is the most definitive experience that is on offer currently and for those that love story-driven adventures, jrpgs and fun combat then I would encourage you play this game as it is one of the best jrpgs out.… Expand

Además recibe un nuevo episodio en forma de DLC (valorado en su correspondiente análisis en mi perfil de metacritic) que personalmente me ha gustado. A parte de esto no puedo comentar mucho más porque el juego es el mismo de PS4, por lo que dejo mi análisis de la versión de PS4 por aquí:
    He de decir que yo no he jugado al Final Fantasy VII original, pero el juego me ha encantado y ha hecho que me entren ganas de jugar al original, que lo haré. Me ha parecido un juego perfecto en el apartado técnico, con 30 fps constantes pero con una calidad gráfica realmente alucinante, teniendo en cuenta que es de PS4. En el apartado artístico me parece que no han podido recrear mejor Midgar, claramente superior en el remake con respecto al original. Los diálogos, la traducción son muy buenos y los efectos especiales y las cinemáticas me han dejado alucinado. La jugabilidad es extremadamente divertida e interesante, mezclando el estilo de juego por turnos con el "hack and slash", si se puede llamar así. Esto hace que los combates sean amenos y no se hagan aburridos. La única pega es que algunos bosses tienen demasiada vida, lo que va a provocar que nos demoremos un buen rato para derrotarlo. Yo no conocía la historia de este juego y la verdad que me ha enganchado mucho, tanto la trama como la evolución de los personajes. El problema es que los que no hemos jugado al original nos costará entender algunas partes. Aun así la complejidad de la historia y el lore del mundo me han encantado. Como pegas, las físicas de algunos objetos del escenario, algunas misiones secundarias que son aburridísimas e innecesarias y el diseño "pasillero" de muchos de los lugares, que se basan en una línea recta y no hacen justicia al juego. A parte, se nota que en ciertos capítulos han querido alargar mucho el juego y quizá hubiera estado mejor que se ahorrasen algunas partes de puzles y batallas un tanto repetitivas. Cabe destacar que la música es probablemente una de las mejores que hay en los videojuegos, con temas míticos que pasarán a la historia. Estoy deseando que salga la segunda parte de este remake para continuar con la historia de este juegazo. 9,1/10

    Final Fantasy VII Remake вышла чуть более года назад и в свое время я делал обзор на нее.

Однако в этот раз я решил быть немного строже к Square Enix.

    Сразу хочу закрыть все, что связано непосредственно с DLC    Final Fantasy VII Remake вышла чуть более года назад и в свое время я делал обзор на нее. С того времени игра, собственно говоря, не слишком-то и изменилась, а потому все написанное в той статье спокойно можно применить и к новенькой Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade. Однако в этот раз я решил быть немного строже к Square Enix.

    Сразу хочу закрыть все, что связано непосредственно с DLC Integrade. В нем нам расскажут небольшую предысторию нашей старой знакомой из оригинальной Final Fantasy 7, которую зовут Юфи. Девушка-ниндзя прибывает в Мидгард в рамках помощи местной террористической ячейке, получает в личное распоряжение кохая и отправляется портить жизнь корпорации Шинра. Юфи и Сонон (именно так зовут напарника куноичи) на удивление получились живой и интересной парой, постоянно оказываясь в центре забавных комичных ситуаций. Химия между главными персонажами, пожалуй, главное достоинство дополнения. Естественно, что Юфи, что Сонон обладают уникальным мувлистом, прекрасно синергируют друг с другом в бою, применяя совместные атаки. Выглядит весьма свежо, если сравнивать с оригинальной Final Fantasy VII Remake.
    Небольшим приятным новшеством стала мини-игра, которая очень сильно напоминает кастомку Castle Fight для WarCraft III. У нас и противника есть 3 строения, определенный набор персонажей, 2 так называемых “коридора” на карте и задача уничтожить вражеские строения, попутно сохранив свои. Очень простая, но тем не менее способная увлечь дополнительная активность. На этом в принципе все, что касается DLC и заканчивается. Само по себе сюжетное дополнение получилось довольно ярким, местами трогательным, естественно с кучей фансервиса для фанатов, но коротким. Осилить приключения Юфи можно часов за 5-6, после чего игра порадует закрывающим синематиком и отправит в главное меню.    … Expand

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

    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.

    Battles are quick and fluid. Combat system is great design. Very polished.

    Cons: I feels it's a bit short. At 30 hours to 100% completion. Bummer you can't retrace steps to previous zones until the end of the game. If you missed a small detail, you will need to finish the game before you can return the to chapter.

Boring dialogues and lackluster side quests further contribute to a less captivating narrative. Additionally, the game suffers from some major graphic issues, detracting from the otherwise visually impressive world.

    FF7 was the first RPG I ever played (20 years ago), still one of the best Final Fantasy games and one of my all-time favourites I've completed several times. I still remember watching that remake teaser years ago and now finally I got to experience the remake on PS5. There's good and there's bad.

    The graphics are great, everything looks pretty damn beautiful. No complaints there. Midgar    FF7 was the first RPG I ever played (20 years ago), still one of the best Final Fantasy games and one of my all-time favourites I've completed several times. I still remember watching that remake teaser years ago and now finally I got to experience the remake on PS5. There's good and there's bad.

    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

    Its a flawed experience, but if you make it to the end, it's worth it. I expected Yuffie to be annoying as she certainly proved to be young and immature in the original, but it gets too annoying and distracting at times, especially for someone of her skill.

I expected Yuffie to be annoying as she certainly proved to be young and immature in the original, but it gets too annoying and distracting at times, especially for someone of her skill. In addition, why the sector 7 slums again? Midgar has 8 sectors total, and the first part of the remake was to expand on Midgar, so why reuse the same sector when they had a golden opportunity to showcase a new sector containing an avalanche cell? This makes the new stuff introduced in the DLC seem out of place.

    It's very unfortunate that I cannot enter seventh heaven, but the way they do it is annoying; rather than putting a simple 'closed' sign followed by locking the door, they instead make a whisper repel you from the door if you try to enter it! Nero looks just as ridiculous as he did in Dirge of Cerberus, but the thing that gets me is you would expect to see the muscles move around his mouth when speaking and perhaps hear a muffle in his voice with that BDSM mask he wears, and he doesn't, which translates poorly on the PS5. And the way the new character Shields Yuffie, such as when she rides the train or has to protect her from harm looks VERY creepy; in the western U.S., this guy would have been assaulted or worse for looking like a human trafficker, or because of Yuffie's age, a pedo, and that's disgusting!

    I am also not fond of being unable to entirely control the new character and worry that this limited control will set a dangerous trend in later installments. Oh sure, you can issue commands and sync up your moments, but I enjoyed it less than having 2 or 3 party members because it feels like im in a party of 1 1/2 characters at best. This trend of limiting who you can control in your party combined with the trend of no choice in party members from the previous game will end up dampening the combat experience and parts of the story if it continues.

    However, there are pros in this DLC: Midgar looks better than it has in the past, I didn't notice any low-res textures that plagued the PS4 release; it doesn't mean they were there, but if they were, I didn't notice them. The new areas are nice to explore. Fort Condor is a definite improvement over the original, even though I didn't really care much for the improvement. It's also nice to run into familiar characters both original and new in the sector 7 slums, even if it seems a bit out of place for them to be there. Despite the somewhat predictable nature of the DLC, it is presented in a way that is satisfying to experience. The most valuable piece of the DLC is the ending, by far. Though I would have rewritten a piece to better reflect Yuffie's growth, its absolutely satisfying for all involved. No spoilers here, you have to play it and beat it in the 5-7 hours the DLC takes and experience it for yourself! I will mention that because of the value of the ending, this DLC will not age well when part 2 is released.

    If you have a PS5 and don't mind spending $20 for something that has somewhat low replayability, I would say get it and play it at least once before part 2 comes out. If not, I wouldn't go overboard getting a PS5 just for this unless your a die-hard FF7 fan or god forbid you don't even have a PS4.    … Expand

    My main problems with the game stem from me simply never being a huge fan of Final Fantasy as a whole, but the game's legendary status is warranted and the game is fantastic.

    Gran jugabilidad, seguramente la que marque el futuro de la saga.
    Historia bien ampliada y detallada. Valor incalculable para el fan. Top gráfico de la anterior generación, mejorado en esta.

    Il mio voto oggi è un 7,9 un 8- il Combat System su versione PS5 quando lo giocai era noioso e poco godibile che mi stancai subito a giocarlo. Vanta di una bella narrazione ma era troppo old gen. Belle invece le Quest secondarie e vari minigiochi JRPG. Attendo la seconda parte del remake con meno attesa rispetto a Final Fantasy XVI.

    I gotta say that I really enjoyed 40 hours of gameplay. Smooth 60 FPS on PS5, pretty nice animations and good looking cut-scenes. Altough I never played original version and I don't feel anything special in this game after remake. Nothing else but a good RPG.

    Even better than the original version. Don't expect to play the same thing you played on your PSX. It's an entire new game. Is something like a reboot and a remake at the same time. The only thing that keeps me out of giving it a 10/10 it's the difficult settings. The game is pretty hard, even on situations that needs to push you forward, and not to retain you on that level.

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

    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.
