    This is the best kind of compromise for people who likes turn base game play.
    The Materia system allows for deep customization. you have a party system and can switch between your party members as indented for a FF game.
    The Ghost plot makes no sense.

    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.

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

    One of the greatest rpgs of the modern era, found the combat to be intuitive, deep, and fun. Marvelous soundtrack, great graphics, good story. Not many complains, though there are some sluggish parts. I'd give it a 91.

    Painfully slow. The game is beautiful to look at and the combat is good, but it feels like a loooooooong slog between fights/events of interest.

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!

    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.

    The Definitive Edition of the best Final Fantasy game to date, now including a very well made Expansion and some very important technical improvements.

    My introduction into the world of Final Fantasy.
    I'm actually speechless, this game is absolutely incredible. it's bigger and better than the original in every possible way, a huge improvement when it comes to the visuals, gameplay, animations, character models and pretty much everything you can think of.

    I'm going to start with the gameplay first, well what can I say, oh my freaking god, arguably the best combat system i've ever seen in a videogame to date, the mix of Turn Based with Real Time Action is honestly flawless, it works perfectly and it feels very satisfying. The materia system is amazing, there is a lot of customization, it's easy to use and understand and makes the combat so unique and enjoyable. Also the boss fights are insane, there are so many of them, and they are quite challenging, you can't really play mindlessly and expect to win easily, you actually need patience and strategy to beat them, and I really liked that.

    Now when it comes to the characters, I think they're great, they have likeable personalities and slowly develop pretty well, their designs are fantastic and memorable, and you really get to bond with them which makes you feel like you're part of the team.

    It's worth to mention that the game is actually very big, the world feels alive despite being limited, you can just get lost in it. There is a lot of content, side quests, various minigames, VR missions and rewarding activities, so many things to do and places to explore, it's a pretty long experience and it's also very replayable, trying out new builds and doing the challenges is very fun.

    As for the main story, it starts pretty tame but things go wild quick, and even though it drags quite a bit later on, there are so many spectacles in it, some of the cutscenes are just cinematic masterpieces, everything looks gorgeous.
    The only issue I have with the story is the writing and some of the dialogue, it's pretty interesting for the most part, but it can get quite weak sometimes, some plot points aren't explained well and don't really make sense either, the story is clearly unfinished and I'm hoping the sequels do a decent job at explaining few things. I respect the fact that the writers managed to surpass our expectations by altering parts of the overarching story, it's a very risky but ambitious thing to do, and I really want them to nail it and achieve their goal. Overall I like the story a lot, and I believe that it's only going to get better from now on, I'm very excited to see how everything turns out in the end.

    Lastly, I really need to mention the stellar soundtrack, it's just so beautiful, one of the most iconic and magical soundtracks in a JRPG ever.

    It really is an outstanding videogame, It's not only an improved version of the original Final Fantasy VII, but it stands on its own very well. I would go as far to say that this is the definitive Remake, and the best Remake I've ever played.

    Final Rating: "Excellent" ~ 9.5/10.

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

    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.

    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.

    It's fantastic from start to end. Pulled many a heart string. Pros : Story is still fantastic. Graphically sound. The musical score feel very fresh bringing in the elements of the past into it.
    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.

    Overall : Fantastic from start to finish. If they build from this for the next 2 enstallments, things will be looking up. 9/10

    As much as I love the positive changes they did with this remake (like expanding on the relevance of some characters like jessie or the different approach of gameplay), the story changes are somewhat weird. The whispers that were introduced are immersion breaking for my taste since they feel like a deus ex machina. All around the game is fun which is why I still would rate it rather high.

    + 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.

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.

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.

    Tek kelimeyle harika bir remake. Grafikler(Skybox'ın sahteliği biraz kendini belli ediyor), yeni aksiyon sistemi ve seslendirmeler hepsi mükemmel. Optimizasyonu da sağlam, 60 fps verebiliyor, frametime'da düşüş olmuyor. .
    Sequel için sabırsızlanıyorum :)

    The best way to play FF7 Remake, and the DLC is so refreshing showing how versatile the combat is and a look at the future of video games.

    Still the best looking and acted video game ever made. The story is faithful to the original in that it hits every story beat, but told In a slightly different way. We all knew there were changes coming and I for one welcome these changes, as it's

    We all knew there were changes coming and I for one welcome these changes, as it's something new for me a long standing fan of the OG game. I don't see the point of being annoyed by the changes, as the OG game will always exist, now I get to play it all again, but with twists along the way, which again is refreshing. I think I'd be slightly down had it been shot for shot the original game.

    I for one welcome this new iteration with open arms and am thankful that it was even made to begin with. Bring on rebirth.

    Final fantasy vii remake intergrade is a great game in graphic and performing. However, the limited story volume compared to the original ff7 and the somewhat outdated battle system prevent it from being a masterpiece.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked this game so much, it made me go back to the original to play it after several years. I think the story is awesome, and it’s good that it expands all of the Midgar story (which is only the first few hours for the original game). The whole rework for the story with the ecos is really interesting, and I’m eager to know what will happen next and how they will connect the whole story. It’s a great surprise to see that this was not a remake but a sequel/reimagination (who knows) Expand

    The OG was my intro to complex story driven RPGs back in 1997. Expectations were enormous for this.

    It has all that nostalgia. The music was better, the visuals, and voice acting obviously better. But also it was very well designed, like it looked how I wanted it to look. They completely nailed the aesthetic and vibe. Which is the most important in a FF game. The game play is also a perfect mix of RPG, strategy, and action.

    The story is actually easier to follow. The whispers are edgelord cringe, but it actually makes sense by the end. I actually really like how they said the story can deviate from the OG, I love that I don`t know for 100% sure how things will be, because the story is new.

    There are story sections that are way better this time, for example the honeybee inn.

    it has enough (and interesting) side quests to make the city feel bigger, but not too much to make it annoying and MMO like.

    It is a perfect mix of goofy, silly, cute, and serious.

    The personality of the main cast is more interesting and multi faceted. Especially Yuffie.

    Yuffie DLC has a really interesting combat system with synergy. All the characters feel unique in combat.

    Therefore it is a perfect remake. And a 10/10.

    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.
