    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

    The definitive way to experience FF7 remake. I played both non-Intergrade (PS4 release) and this, and you know it's good when I didn't just transfer my save files. I replayed the whole thing again, twice (for normal and hard), and finally, playing the Yuffie episode was so unexpected for me (for some reason I didn't see the announcement until a few weeks before it released) so it wasThe definitive way to experience FF7 remake.

    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

    Right after I had finished the fantastic FF XVI, my expectation for the FF series was never been higher. Then, started VII Remake Intergrade for PS5 . Been playing for about 12 hours thus far and love this game. I can't wait for VII Remake: Rebirth!!!

I think I'd be slightly down had it been shot for shot the original game.

It's not meant to replace the original FFVII and I feel comparing this game to the original is basically impossible. Its as if Square took the Midgar portion of FFVII and created Season 1 of a 3 season show and more. Here's hoping Rebirth knocks it out of the park also. Absolutely experience this at 60fps (on a PS5 or PC). The buttery smooth gameplay and visuals will not disappoint.… 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.
