The legacy of the legend created a new legend. A Final Fantasy for the current generation of players from the veterans of video game history with an eternal glint of exceptionality. [Issue#303]
Final Fantasy VII Remake falls just short of perfection, but it’s clearly one of the best RPGs to release so far and is definitely a contender for RPG of the year. I’ll go as far to say that this is one of the most important RPG projects of our generation, and I do think everyone, fan of the original or no, should experience it.
The only game I did a platinum on and I am someone who usually don't do everything in a game. The hardmode playthrough was so much fun, great combat system and an amazing cast of characters!
Just giving a 10 to counter all the review bombing.
This is genuinely a good and fun game. The combat system and RPG elements are fun to play with. Cast is memorable and portrayed well. The voice acting is top-notch really good.
In the OG the Avalanche members where side characters with barely any backstory, they flesh them out really well in this game making a lot of moments have more impact. They changed some story moments wich is making a lot of people butthurt OG FF7 still exists and you can still play it if you want that.
I think the main story beats are still all there and some moments definitely hit harder than in the original.
Is the game perfect? Definitely not. It has pacing issues with filler sidecontent. Very basic side quests pad the game time. I think the game would have been better as a 20 hour more dense game. Imo they should have made the remakes 2 games instead of a trilogy without all the filler.
Also some story beats are a bit weird, i think they changed a lot of things for the better (to flesh them out). But without spoiling anything some stuff is just straight up weird.
I give the game an 8.5/10.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is undoubtedly among the best of 2020. The first part of this remake meets every expectation, beyond its technical problems, and we are already hyped of what is to come. I dare say that it is one of the best installments in the series so far and I hope that this will become a new quality standard for Square Enix.
Final Fantasy VII is an ambitious retelling that updates its systems and story for the modern era. The new battle system is fantastic and does a superb job of blending strategy and action. Additional stories and character moments are appreciated, and the way each character is portrayed is perfect. Some technical aspects could be better, but if future installments maintain this trajectory, we can all rest easy.
Final Fantasy VII Remake brilliantly recreates the events of Midgar in a breathtaking way. Even though there's no denying just how amazing of an experience it is, the adventure within will still leave fans wanting much more.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a deep, dense and strong invitation to rediscover an all-time classic, thanks to a new three dimensional approach of the vast city of Midgar. The game fills up so many gap, deepens the plot, and sometimes takes way too much time to take us from point A to point B. But thanks to a strong and evolving combat system, new looks of iconic characters and a brilliant work of reorchestration of Uemtasu's score. If only it could have gone just a little further.
Final Fantasy VII Remake manages to balance the introduction of new concepts with faithfully recreations of the original game’s most memorable aspects, but it also unnecessarily pads out this first installment in a larger story with too much downtime between its most striking moments.
GOTY 2020, Sorry Not Sorry Had way more fun with this game during the pandemic than anything else it got shafted because of peoples biases. Everything about this game was fantastic Music Voice acting. I'm giving it a 10 out of spite even though it deserves a 9. The PS4 Pro made this game run great. There where a few Graphical issues which have since been fixed but overall this game got shafted. It was way better than TLOU2.I also Enjoyed it More than Doom Eternal.
Ppl definitely overrate this game. That being said I enjoyed the game, but it was too long for me so the last chapters with its cool bosses became a chore to me
i'm not so crazy bout this game, this is the first part that I went through in the whole series, and it turned out to be a remake of a very old game (the game is very good as a remake), but whatever one may say, this is an old game design, where the story is not crazy, fighting the system got boring by the half of the game (by the way, in my understanding the game is very long), and at the same time the side quests are terrible,
but the game definitely has its perks.
I didn't like this game, as someone who hasn't played the OG game. This is not my first FF game, and I played several before.
- The amount of padding and filler basically **** the joy out of the game. It could have been a 20-hour game instead of 30+.
- The presentation of the game at times feels like it's to pander to those who played the original and invoke nostalgia. The main villain, Sephiroth, is shown every hour, without a proper introduction or anything. You need to assume this guy is badass, because the game tells you. There's zero build-up.
- The endgame boss is the lamest thing I've seen in a while, comparable to FFXIII fiasco. Not surprising, as it seems the writer is the same dude.
For those who liked it, good on you. As a newcomer, I didn't enjoy it.
P.S. The OST is great tho!
SummaryLong ago, we looked upon a foreboding sky. The memory of the star that threatened all burns eternal in our hearts. In its wake came an age of silence. Yet with each fond remembrance, we knew those encountered were not forgotten, that some day we would see them again. Perhaps it was no more than wishful thinking. But after the long calm, ...
