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, there are the beginnings of a stir. The reunion at hand may bring joy, it may bring fear, but let us embrace whatever it brings. For they are coming back. At last the promise has been made.… Expand

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is the best JRPG from Square since Final Fantasy VII. It takes a classic, carefully builds on it, and although certain changes made to the story may not be as well-received by all players, overall there's no denying that it's a massive success.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is the piece that knew to blend the past with the present. What Square Enix has done is cause for celebration, as it has been able to fabricate everything we imagined and the vision we had of the original more than two decades ago. Easily, Final Fantasy VII Remake can give modern makers a lecture on how a remake should be done. The adventure that started in Midgar relives again and has surprised us again.

    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 is a great game, excellent, even, for today's standards. And for the most part, it is exactly what fans have been asking for during the past ten years. But the truth is that this isn't it; this isn't the game that was promised.

    A staggering reimagining of a genre touchstone, FFVIIR makes improvements upon the original in many areas but is similarly harmed by some uneven additions

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first time reviewing a game so please bear with me.

    In my 36 hrs gameplay experience, it was a blast! I enjoyed every single minute of it. The story, the characters, the dialogue, the combat, and everything that the game has to offer.

    The game has flaws like low textures(but i don't really mind because the game is pretty enough.) , this one side quest about the kitty thing which i disliked. But i love the side quest of this game. Gives you the immerse experience on how you interact with the npc and the rewards are absolutely fantastic. Every places you go does not feel empty. It's full of life. Also the ending kinda worries me. But i'm also positive that would make sense in part 2.

    I'm excited for part 2. To all haters who gives low scores, don't trust them, remember a quote "people hate when they don't understand." Play the game before you complain.    … Expand

The remake is the first portion of the original game due to how big the original game was. The developers really wanted to add to the experience that's why they've added so much more lore and events!

    The Remake has genuinely improved on the original by fleshing out the story and the characters especially! The music is something else too... some of the best arrangement I've heard in a long time!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an apsolutly beatiful game, probably the best in the generation. The combat system is awsome and every fight feels difrent. The story is (mostly) epic and really engeiging. The only problems I have with the game is that the textures need some time to load and that the side quests are crap. Oh yeah spoiler alert, I'm now gonna talk about the ending. I'm actually new to the final fantasy searese and this is my first one. So I haven't played tge og ff7. Near the end of the game I was just confused. Like wtf is Sepheroth doing, is he real or notn, wtf is he trying to do, what is his motivation. Who is this black haired anime boy? What is he doing with Cloud? How can Arith sense him because it is basiclly implited that this is a flashback. I have so many questions and I'm playing the original now. Hope that it anwsers my questions.… Expand
