As someone who absolutely loves the original FF7, this is one of those games I desperately wanted to like. I really gave it multiple chances purely because of how much affection I have for the original characters, world and story. And to be fair, technically and visually it is undeniably impressive. The soundtrack is fantastic, the character models look great and some of the cinematic moments genuinely hit hard if …

I went into this game wanting to finally understand why it's so loved, and well... I get it now. Somewhere along the way, the characters and the world completely won me over. ♡ The cast is easily one of the best parts. Everyone has so much personality and their relationships feel genuine. Even characters outside your main party get enough time to shine that I ended up far more attached to them than I expected. I …

"To those who loved this world And spent time with friends in this world..." Advent Children started with this sentiment years ago, and I sat down with the Remake with this exact feeling. More than 20 years ago, in the PS1 era, I didn't just "play" this game; I lived in it. I was there when the shadow of Meteor first darkened the sky, and I squeezed every secret and every Master Materia out of that disc. With this …

I didn't realize how much I would love this game until I bought it. This was my first time playing a Final Fantasy game, let alone FF7. It was so good, that before I even finished playing the story of this one, I had already bought Rebirth, Crisis Core, and the original. The art? Spectacular. I'm amazed at the 3D models. They look so alive even with a semi-realistic art style. The attention to detail is amazing. The …

# 🎮 FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE Review ## 📖 1. Story / Narrative One of the strongest aspects of Final Fantasy VII Remake is the way it takes its time with the story. Instead of treating Midgar like a short opening section, the game turns it into a living, breathing city with its own identity. You spend enough time with Cloud, Avalanche, Barret, Tifa, and Aerith to genuinely get to know them. The pacing …

Players who liked FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE talk about beautiful graphics and detailed character models; those who didn't talk about pacing issues with excessive filler and slow sections. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Final Fantasy VII Remake received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic, with critics praising its faithfulness to the original game. Tamoor Hussain of GameSpot states that, while Remake is only the initial entry in a full reimagining of the original game, it is rich in details that were previously unexplored, realizes new storytelling ambitions with confidence, and presents fresh perspectives that feel both meaningful and essential in his review. To summarize, he says that it tells a smaller, more personal Final Fantasy VII tale and marries it with a smart mashup of action and RPG gameplay in order to deliver a must-play experience.

neutral · AI labelView post →This game isn't bad but it still disappointed me in a lot of ways. Perhaps it's because of the insane praise this game has gotten that made my expectations too high. Perhaps it's because i never played the original so I don't have nostalgia bias. The fact of the matter is I can't judge this game or praise it by how faithful it is to the original version. I can only tell you if it's a good game, or a bad game. And I don't think it's a good game. GAMEPLAY By far the biggest disappointment…

neutral · AI labelView post →The decision to split the Final Fantasy VII remake into a trilogy has led to an arduous task for the developers with underwhelming results, and this first part bears the brunt of its issues. Story Pacing Remake follows the events of the first 5 hours of the original game (approximately 15% of the story), but it inserts so much filler that it has ballooned into a 30-to-40-hour experience with glaring pacing issues. Of the 18 chapters in the game, less than half feel satisfying. Chapter 1 is an…

Okay, fine, there's enough character and story to flesh out. But did they do that? Nope. They skipped the "story" and "gameplay" stuff and just make everything take as long as possible.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I look back at the 48 hours I've spent on this game and I feel conflicted. This game has made me more frustrated than any other game I've played before. I didn't understand the story, the battles felt repetitive and grueling, and the characters felt underdeveloped and flat. This game however was not made for me. This is the first Final Fantasy I've ever played and it was my first exposure to Final Fantasy VII as a series. I have since learned the lore of the first game and how this remake is…

Audio/visually its undeniably great. Really cinematic, both in good and bad ways. The combat is okay, but quite easy. You get plenty of items and checkpoints everywhere, making it possible to ignore many of the game mechanics altogether ⏳ Hard difficulty is unlocked only after beating the game, and thats a shame because I doubt many people will…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs absolutely perfect on my GTX 1080 Ti. 👍 The only thing that would have made it better is if there was ultrawide support. One web search later and I installed "Lyall's FF7RemakeFix" mod and I now get to experience this whole game in ultrawide mode! Definitely worth looking into if you have those black bars on the side of your screen on a wider monitor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A total waste of time. I’m 39 years old, living in Germany, and I played the original on the PlayStation as a kid. I went into the Remake with zero expectations. Many of my friends hate it because it deviates too much from the original, but for me, it’s more of a reinterpretation. These days, I don’t play much, and ever since the PS3 era, I’ve played everything in English because I can’t stand German dubbing in games. So much for my background. Now, let’s get to the game itself. This game is a…

I felt that anything that didn't just copy and paste the original story with better graphics would be sacrilege. I was right and I was also wrong. Pros: - Decently fun gameplay - Likeable Characters - Good Visuals (materia, summons, characters, and the general sense of Midgar) - Nostalgia (revisiting areas from the '97 game recreated…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I started playing, the feel, look and promise of gameplay systems hooked me in and I was convinced this could be the best Final Fantasy game I had ever played. After about 10 hours, this feeling started to diminish. By hour 30, I was no longer thinking the game was even good. The main problem is that the game feels like anime filler for literally most of it. And I am not talking about side-quest bloat, travel times or things like that. They pad it with smalltalk cutscenes, walking,…

Exceptional voice acting and somewhat faithful recreations of the music of the original (i'll get to the exceptions in a moment.). Overall a fine Part 1 of this story, and a decent enough game in it's own right if you can stomach the busywork. However you will have seen that i don't recommend the game. Here's why.
