Review - Final Fantasy VII Remake

Was FF7 Remake worth the extremely long wait? Let's find out.

[@dars5229]

I remember a gaming magazine from that time saying FF7 did for RPGs what Blade Runner did to science-fiction. And while I don't know how completely accurate that is now, my previous experience with RPGs before FF7 was Zelda. FF7 was so completely beyond anything I knew an RPG even could be.

[@brunoserra1531]

Same here ! I was a Zelda, Mana and Chrono fan as a kid and I didn't like scifi. FF7 not only made me realize what an rpg could be, it opened me up to scifi and Blade Runner was in fact one of the first scifi movies I watched during my playthrough, along with Ghost in The Shell, Akira and the Alien movies.

[@chasejackson7248]

Blade runner got many people interested in science fiction movies, just like final fantasy got more people into rpgs.

[@Mugthraka]

AS A young (13yro) European, FF7 was my first step into JRPG and RPg's in general. While the North Americans had the pleasure to play FF4-5-6 (renamed atthe time FF1-2-3), in EU we simply did NOT have those , there never was an European release of these games until YEARS later and due to FF7 popularity. The Joy's of different World Zones and releases... But when FF7 hit the market, for me it was the first time i've played anything like it, and it spured a love for JRPG in general. 30years later and EVEN now when i see the game's opening scene when the title card appears with the little "twinkling" keyboard sound, i still get teary eyed And i've beaten the game dozens of times ever since then, and still the emotions it gives me are still very present as it was back when i was a teenager. For Us Europeans, FF7 was the first, the best, the King, and to this day it still is. And the Remake while not absolutly perfect was an absolute joy for me to play.

[@sartavin]

I was in my early 20's when it released, and as a fan of the first game and the Super Nes port, I was astounded to see this nerd property suddenly being broadcasted on the mainstream. There were commercials for it on evening television, which was *extremely* rare.

[@CCKaraoke]

I remember when the original came out, I wasn't allowed to play video games on school nights. The game came out the final Friday of summer, but I managed to snag it two days early on Wednesday morning. The local Microplay owners knew me by name since I was constantly in there renting everything off the shelf. This gave me 5 days to finish the game before school started, and I went full on with it; the first of many playthroughs. I'm looking forward to the Rebirth review!

[@NitroRonin23]

[@Khronnus]

I really liked it and sunk 80 hours into it until I got to that end fucking boss. Oh, his 1.5 hour 10 phase boss with unskippable cut scenes and unique strats for each phase and if you die, which you will because you can't know the strats without experiencing them so can't prepare beforehand, you've got to start again.

[@meta1152]

​@Khronnus I sped to the end trying to outrun spoilers. That end boss(es) was a huge hurdle, being pretty underpowered and most of my materia was on other characters.

[@Khronnus]

@meta1152 It's just a big commitment that I don't really want to do hahah. I'll get it done.

[@MadLad07]

Just started playing the original on my switch and I’m loving it. The characters are able to be so likeable despite the limitations, the combat is more interesting than I expected and the music and atmosphere is perfection.

[@Dosnmeda]

There are a lot of ways to get your teammates more involved without giving them direct orders. Materia can be used to make your party members use auto-cure, synergy magic attacks or become a priority target to your enemies. Also, if you don‘t want to switch between characters to give them commands you can always use R2. All in all I enjoy combat in this game how it mixes real time positioning, attacks, skills, guarding, and counters all while retaining tactical depth with its Materia equipment, ATB gauge, Stagger system and direct command inputs. To me it‘s the best of both worlds. And it is the reason I enjoy all the side-quests, trying to Analyse different enemy types, coming up with the most effective materia builds and combat strategies to dismantle their defenses.

[@dirtyfishmadeclean3995]

Agreed. I think the drinker missed this point during his playthrough.

[@Dosnmeda]

@@dirtyfishmadeclean3995 To be fair, it is a lot to take in. During my first playthrough I also didn't fully grasp all the systems, and was mainly following the story.

[@demi-fiendoftime3825]

​@Dosnmeda something Rebirth fixes and gives you way more materia options

[@Jason-ji8ql]

For anyone who wants to play the original FF7, but feel like it looks way too old, I highly recommend you check out the modding community for the Steam Version. You can easily make this game look and sound like something that was professionally remastered.

[@roygbiv9457]

THIS^^^^^^^ 7th Heaven is the real remake and does far greater justice than this new age Nomura-infused shitheap

[@A-Dubs398]

I grew up with FF7 OG, but nowadays, can only play it with mods.

[@ScooterDoge]

The mods are great.

[@xSilentZeroXx]

@@roygbiv9457 This ain't even Nomura's fault, he wanted a shot-for-shot remake :/

[@roygbiv9457]

@xSilentZeroXx not sure where you're reading that. He openly stated in an interview after Rebirth that he, Nojima and Kitase were involved in the writing process. Even if he wasn't as involved, the story elements reek to high hell of him. Not to mention his trash directing abilities.

[@HeavyMetalJesus02]

I personally didnt care for the Whispers of Fate. Felt like i was being reminded that i played the original game, and that it was just a soft reboot of one of my all-time favorite games. Sephiroth arguably popped up too early as well. The fact that we don't actually see him until later in the original game because all we see is an impaled Shinra CEO after we followed a blood trail after 'escaping' from our cells. I otherwise liked it a lot, they nailed the characters, Jessie was fantastic, i wanted characters to be expanded upon. Cloud, and the cast are definitely great and i'll eventually be playing Rebirth, just not anytime soon.

[@darth_hylian]

Yes it was much more impactful in the original because Sephiroth was an ominous figure. Like an unavoidable foreboding threat. The whispers just make the game even more convoluted. But it's still amazing

[@MrDezokokotar]

Thats how i felt at first too, most people probably did, but when you think about the ending and the whole game for a bit more, it starts to make sense. Its not really a remake or a reboot, its a sequel. The original game canonically happened "before" Remake. (Advent Children too) There are many hints toward that fact. As for Sephiroth showing up early and often - again i thought the same, but the thing is - hes not a mystery anymore, keeping him a mystery wouldnt work like it did in the original. Even people who havent played the OG know him. Plus of course, him fucking with Cloud makes sense with the new story.

[@HeavyMetalJesus02]

@MrDezokokotar you're welcome to have that opinion. I bought the game hoping for a remake of the game. The game was titled "Remake." I wasn't asking for a sequel. Even if some of the twists might not have the same effect for me, they would still have that effect on a new audience. Especially given how many people I personally know that won't, and seemingly can't pick up a game that doesn't have modern day graphics, they're largely missing out on a fantastic original game that could have been expanded upon. Again, I still enjoyed Remake a lot, but I don't like being somewhat lied to about a Remake being done for a game

[@darth_hylian]

@@HeavyMetalJesus02 you're thinking of a remaster. Remaster just takes an existing game and creates better graphics, framerate and controls. Like Metroid Prime "Remastered" but remake means to completely overhaul a game with new assets and/or story elements, additional content etc. This game is quite a bit different but it's still a remake

[@HeavyMetalJesus02]

@darth_hylian it's definitely a sequel, and remaster/Remake is arguing semantics. We all know that when we watch a movie be remade today, we all expect a movie with modern day effects, with minor changes maybe here and there thay flesh out characters. If characters appear to have prior knowledge of events, that implies some level of time travel and hints of being a sequel. Example: if Empire Strikes Back were remade today, I wouldn't want them to have Vader completely change his approach to revealing he's Luke's father, or changing the line back to it being "Obi-Wan killed your father."

[@chrislee5268]

I don't see non controlled party members not using their ATB meters as a negative, because it encourages you to swap between all of your party members and gives you more control over your strategy. Think about it this way: it would be way more annoying if they waste ATB charges on an attack move when you could need them using Cure, or right when you need them all using abilities on a staggered boss. Loving this channel by the way. You seem way more positive about video games than movies, and your positivity and nuanced takes are pretty refreshing.

[@Amocoru]

Sure, but there's a large portion of players that do not want to do that(me included). It's why Rebirth's combat is so much more fun.

[@CaptainTitforce]

​@@Amocoru How does Rebirth change that exactly? That game motivates you even more to use other characters because of the Synergy mechanic.

[@Oakeybloke]

It would be like Sheva all over again. Rebirth has materia to allow non-controlled characters to use abilities and stuff, and I'm not that keen, though will give them a go at some stage.

[@Alkadius1993]

@@CaptainTitforce I believe rebirth has auto-cast materia, that you can place on your teammates so that they use their abilities even when you’re not controlling them. That wasn’t available in remake, if I remember correctly

[@CaptainTitforce]

@@Alkadius1993 I remember auto-cure being in Remake at least. And even with the auto-cast materia, you can only use it on a few commands before you run out of linked materia slots or auto-cast materias. So I wouldn't say that completely negates switching characters. No doubt it helps a little.

Drinker is REALLY gonna love Rebirth. It fixes literally every complaint he had for Remake. Also, the ps5 version of Remake fixes all the graphical issues. You get it for FREE if you own the ps4 version of the game (and you have a ps5 of course)

[@stenzel27]

Doesn't fix the arbitrary time-wasting activities that screw up the pacing. It quadruples down on that. I'm interested to see his take on the multiverse issue and convoluted ending.

[@JamestheKilljoy]

@@stenzel27 do you know what arbitrary means? There is definitely a purpose to Rebirth's side quest content. It builds on the world and characters. If you don't value that, it's all skippable and you won't lose out on the overall story. As for the multiverse stuff, yeah I'm interested in what he has to say about that. I usually hate the multiverse stuff, but I didn't mind how they go about it in this game. It also isn't really done telling the story. The third installment will either bring it all together in a satisfying way, or poop the bed. Too early to tell

[@stenzel27]

@@JamestheKilljoy I used the word arbitrary because that's the word Drinker used when he complained. While you can skip some of the side content, a lot of it is part of the main story. You can't skip chocobo stealth, you can't skip the dolphin swim, you can't skip the parade, you can't skip Queen's Blood tourney, you can't skip chocobo racing, you can't skip Cait Sith horrible box tossing, and I'm sure there are other things I'm forgetting in the 100 hours I played. Also, you miss out on experience, weapons, ability points, and relationship points with the party if you don't do them - which in my book makes them mandatory.

[@JamestheKilljoy]

@@stenzel27 imagine playing a video game, a time wasting activity, and complaining your game has too much time wasting activities 😂 you know the original had a LOT of mini game activities too, right? I think Drinker will be just fine with that. Not every mini game is a banger, but the majority of people find them fun. There are always gonna be the grumps who find something to complain about, tho

@@JamestheKilljoy Drinker is the reason I brought this up in the first place. I was quoting him from this video. I don't think he will be fine with it if he's already complaining about it in the first game.

To be fair, the Midgar section is linear in the original. And most of the original FFVII is linear until you unlock the Highwind. Sure it opens up when you get to the world map, but there's not really many side places to go besides Fort Condor, Gongaga, and later trips to Gold Saucer, and the Chocobo Farm for side quests in late game.

[@MrSheduur]

Yeah, it is a linear storytelling game at its core, and the only "freedom" it offers is the area you choose for grinding up materia and character levels and what to steal. FF7 Rebirth is similar, as it offers the open world early but it is actually the weakest part of it with very few battles and just running around looting herbs and boxes until you finally reach some npcs to continue the story. It looks fantastic and emersive though so it is not a big gripe for me.

I have never heard anyone said "Final fantasy vii remake needed more time In the oven". I think it's logical for drinker to think that, the textures in the slums were rough in PS4, and the PS5 version helped but bot enough... Still, I don't blame him for not knowing unreal engine 4 architecture, it's just not possible to solve the texture problem and is not a matter of time, it's the engine itself.

[@BravoSix707]

My only REAL issue with Remake/Rebirth is the fact that none of your progress carries over from one game to the next. Given how Remake ends, its not as bog of a deal, but if the final installment follows the same pattern, it could REALLY suck.

[@RaifSeverence]

I think that'll depend on the platform the final installment releases on. Since og remake was a ps4 game (with intergrade being ps5 and pc), isn't Rebirth ps5 only? Since more people played remake on ps4, there probably wasn't a need or a reason to have save importing. If the last game releases on say ps6, it'll probably go the same way as Rebirth. This all assumes there is no ps4 version of rebirth.

[@jarde1989]

@@RaifSeverence No… SEnix aren’t great at making a polished game to begin with and having to program in previous unlocks and decisions would lead to a broken game with Final Fantasy being polished is the exception… not the rule lol Has nothing to do with the platform… the game is one the same engine and could easily be programmed to read a PS4 save file. With that being said… they made the right call. Having a lvl carry over would be a nightmare. Some players would start off maxed out… some would be way to underpowered.

I’m SO looking forward to your Rebirth Review. It’s a LONG game but has been every bit an improvement on Remake. And it’s just OOZING with the passion you just spoke about

[@Auster9376]

For me, I think the developers shat the bed in terms of its story. I didnt mind the way they expanded the cast of characters. Those are welcome additions along with rather solid voice acting that brings it home. But the moment they pull the rug from underneath you and incorporating elements of a multiverse/timelines? It not only retcons the original FF7, but also the compilation as a whole. To top it off, it also dilutes Sakaguchi's vision about the themes of "life." When its faithful with some welcome additions? Its great. But when it completely goes off the rails especially in the final chapters? It sours everything experienced beforehand. I dont know or care who was in charge of these major story changes, but its clear to me there was no sense of restraint, let alone respect.

[@link5629]

Same. I'm happy that so many people are ok with exploring new possibilities within what the story could be or where it could go. That's fine. I'm actually surprised that so many OG fans are ok with it. It makes me wonder if most folks playing remake didn't actually play the original game and are only claiming they did. For me I would've been perfectly happy with a beat for beat retelling of the story with some character expansion. Final Fantasy VII's strongest attribute was the story.

Wanna know what was the best combat system for A.I. for a FF game? Final Fantasy 12’s Gambit System. That system was so good that you don’t have to switch at all. More than 10 lines to give them an order to do whatever you want them to do.

@@nathank2289 the PS1 days did had limitations. Now that the tech has advanced so much and things becomes more complex. It made sense that the FF12 system was better off.

It’ll make the player’s job much more feasible to deal with.

[@joelt2002]

Yeah I waited for the PC release on steam and fully modded it before playing it. Took a very long time. Wasn't until early 2023 that I finally got my hands on it. I agree that the world felt to limited. When I heard they were going to do Midgar I thought it would be a fully open and explorable city. Or at least there would be large open areas for parts of the game that could be explored. Pacing was also an issue. As there are numerous scenes that felt incredibly dragged out. The whole ghost subplot in the train graveyard and Hojo's laboratory. It actually took me out of the game it was so "gamed". Overall I liked it. Though I loved the original FF7, so rose tinted glasses and nostalgia probably helped with my enjoyment. I'll be waiting for a PC released of Rebirth before I play that one. But early reviews seem promising for it.

[@MochaMicah]

I loved the Remake. Like you said, it's not perfect but I still find it wonderful. Did 2 playthroughs. One normal and another on hard mode. Personally, playing just the main scenario for the second run thru helps with the pacing issue a good amount. But I don't think there is any saving the hand lift thing or the second adventure thru the sewers chasing Corneo. Personally, I think they should have made us hunt him down in a new portion of the Undercity scrapyards rather than return to the sewers. I loved how they somehow managed to weave mystery and intrigue back into a game that has already shown it's hand. The voice acting, music and designs are wonderful. It kept me thinking about it all the way until Rebirth which personally I think improves on good amount of the critisms from the first game. Remake might have needed more time but I think they couldn't give it more after the 7 year development hell it went thru. Having the project scrapped and then taken in house to be done as best as they wanted it to their own vision. I hope if and when you play Rebirth, you'll enjoy it a lot like myself!

[@RichardHunke]

I said something similar as what you commented on my reply above. I mentioned that I’m not a purist for adaptations, remakes/reimagining of any IP. Have mixed feelings about certain changes. Changes like recasting all of the old VAs, but some do very well. I also mentioned it seems very expensive to make and has a lot of ❤️ on bringing them back to next Gen. I praised Rebirth for improving even more in reimagining. I wish I could just have more in-depth discussion with anyone reading this. The Sewers was bit annoying compared to the giant mechanical hands section which was a teeny tiny section of the original, dragged and only thing I liked was the items found, but shoulda been cut shorter. OMG the infiltration in either the SHINRA building had excessively long segments. One example of mixed feelings is as much as I love Zack as a character and I loved Crisis Core for the PSP and I do have the Console Remaster. Zack’s main purpose was to be a minor role to show why Cloud had emotional conflict and struggled with PTSD and borderline disassociated personality disorder. He wasn’t really going to exist from what I heard but during writing the story they needed a way to be presented clearly. Sephiroth’s earlier and frequent reveals I’m mixed about it. I like & dislike simultaneously, even though the OG he was in shown in Midgar. His presence felt more subtle yet still present without being seen. Yet I like it because we get to see him with the updated graphics. I ❤️ the expansion of story regarding that SHINRA was behind the destruction of reactors and AVALANCHE was just trying to do minimal detonations to disable it for a time, I ❤️ that we got to know and spend more time with the minor characters of Jesse, Biggs & Wedge, the Turks I don’t remember much besides the couple of fights I liked. Loved 🥰 that they fleshed out more of Midgar as if it was a main character itself, as well as the party members. Last example, I ❤️ the tease of the battle theme music after exploding the 1st reactor and and the notes 🎶 keep playing repeatedly without heating that single note until you confront the guards and jump of onto the train.

[@jase276]

@@RichardHunke The constant teasing of Sephiroth completely ruins all mystique surrounding him that was in the OG. And his entire personality is frisking Cloud while whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Awful. And, yeah, having Zack die not only ruins his sacrifice but ruins Cloud's development. Especially since they claim that these reboots will lead inot Advent Children. But, I don't see how that will be since Zack being alive completely erases Advent Children.

[@RichardHunke]

@@jase276 👍🏽 Yeah! I’m a little split on how they are handling the presentation for Sephiroth’s story. Specially since I see No-No-Nomura Tetsuya’s involvement and not so handy work all over it and I dislike many of his ideas, creative choices and direction he takes. He is notorious for being ambiguous throughout his work. I ❤️ to see Sephiroth and all his glory with the new graphics updated. I miss his old Voice Over Actor George Newbern, when Tyler Hoechlin took over I couldn’t really tell he had replaced Newbern. He does decent at doing the voice take for the character. The only thing that gave it away and set them apart for me was the emotional weight in the dialogue delivery. With Nomura being involved I’m left with so many questions. When he uses ambiguity as a method to write ✍️ & direct a story, it is puzzling 🤨. It comes off as sloppy, reckless, disorienting, disappointing. and takes away from what FF VII OG is & it offered in moral lessons. He not only applies it to the FF VII Remake Series, but any involvement in projects of creative development show many strong signs of ambiguity as if he owned it and was clever or revolutionary. It’s his only little main source of influence style, uses it as his creative signature. He uses it in just about everything. When I was fighting the Harbinger of Fate it was something out Kingdom Hearts, and the 3 unnamed aberrations where the characters straight from Advent Children, and in FFVII Rebirth, I disliked the scene of Sephiroth as he killed the Giant Serpent Boss. The OG had more impact when you stumble upon what he was capable of it in a WTF 😳 story moment.

[@ChengHorn9]

I only played through about 1/2-2/3 of the original, but I am familiar with the entire plot. Having played this remake recently OH MY GOSH is this game good! It is absolutely nuts how much modern game engines have allowed squre to more fully realize such an iconic game to the point that the original feels like a fairy tale by comparison. Yes there are some graphical oddities, but who cares when this game is an absolute roller coaster to begin with. I've been playing on PC, so I don't have access to rebirth yet, but I don't even know if I can imagine how they take the ideas for only covering midgar and expand it to more open world. The game is a constant adrenaline rush and is very hard to put down because you just want to keep going with the plot being what it is.

[@Thebettermartyr]

Never played the original the first time I picked this up. I ended up playing the OG just because of how much I enjoyed the characters. Absolute treasure of a game.

FFVII Remake was a nice little Prologue. FFVII Rebirth is the game we've all been waiting for. The whole Zack side story might make or break the game for a lot of people, but I still say the game as a whole is the best Final Fantasy has been in a long while. (Though I haven't played XVI or XIV which I hear are good.)

It had some filler and stretched some portions out way longer than they needed to be, but overall I was surprised that they put so much effort into creating a new experience out of it. I spent the majority of Advent Children just lost on why they made it and I'm glad they kind of course-corrected some of the issues that movie caused.

[@arvinjay336]

Regarding Advent Children as the director said it was made to have battles that look cool everyone was blown away by that when it released back in 2005 and he did admit that the story took a back seat.

[@ValtheJean]

I'm glad people enjoyed it, but the time ghosts were a big turn off for me. It felt like they were a mockery of fans who just wanted the story to be maintained normally. If they wanted to do a reboot, they should have called it one. When you call something a remake, it has certain implications there. I'm glad it was enjoyable for most of the fans. But for myself, it's a hard pass.

[@dkirby9052]

Rebirth was an absolute mess and after playing it, I sort of feel like the ending to Remake was pointless. Rebirth wants to be both a Remake and a Reimagining of FF7 and it suffers because of it.

@@ValtheJean I do still like and enjoy Remake. Rebirth has changed how I view Remake now. I no longer expect part 3 to be any good and I know it is just going to be more of what Rebirth did. Remake setup interesting concepts like the whispers that could have been done well but weren't. It really is unfortunate though. I wanted this to be good and I wanted to love it.

@@daesong1378 My biggest concern with Remake was the whispers. We literally fought and beat fate. So okay, if this is the road you want to go down Square, then lets go all the way with it. They fact that they don't want to fully commit to that makes Remake's story worse. It might be a little too late to salvage this. We are talking about the last game in a trilogy. I don't see how they can possibly bring this back. I might be wrong. I would like to see them prove me wrong in part 3. I don't think they will though.

[@SaveMeXenu]

I disagree entirely, I think it compounds on everything that was bad about the remake and only retains the good combat. There's too much side bullshit that feels way too much like busywork including the new ABUNDANT minigames, with a half baked gathering and crafting system and a Ubisoft checklist open world and FUCKING CHADLEY AND MAI. Every single time Chadley makes me open up the damn cell phone gun so he can tell me he got whatever bullshit data he wanted from me, I want to uninstall the game and chuck my PS5 out my window. That goes double for MAI jabbering on ENDLESSLY while I fight whatever monsters she's making me fight. I'm sad to say that I'm not really enjoying my time with Rebirth so far but I fucking LOVED Remake.

[@fecal_position6412]

@@SaveMeXenu oh please if this game released like FF13 and FF15 with obvious cut content you'd be whining about it.

[@daesong1378]

I liked remake better than rebirth to be honest. Rebirth main plot felt like it barely moved for me, most of the story revolved around exposé of your party characters. Because of that, you know more about them, but they don’t actually develop or move the plot forward much, the worst part is that at the end, I feel like I’m pretty much just as lost as I was at the beginning. Yeah you can put some clues together and extrapolate some conjectures, but that’s pretty much it for the elephant in the room. Rebirth lacked pay off moment imo. Even the stakes in rebirth are less clear. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed rebirth, but I definitely liked remake better as far is story goes.

[@daesong1378]

@@fecal_position6412I don’t think cutting is necessarily the answer. IMO it’s because most of the story is exposé. Which does not move the plot forward. You could cut out all the other stuff, the game would be shorter but you still wouldn’t have made anymore progress. The other issue I think is the character goal and stakes aren’t as clear in rebirth. In the original during this part, as you were doing whatever, you felt like you were physically on sephiroths tail. But this time it feels like you’re just following the clones.

[@Ashton-mx2bg]

It's such a refreshing game, never played the OG version as I didnt have a ps1 but probably going to go back and play it. I am in love with this game, its much better when the company respects and admires the source material and doesn't give us a LOU 2 bullshit storyline

[@benishehe]

Im struggling to complete this game - and I have played the original (many times, in fact). While SE has greatly expanded the Midgar section, I'm finding most of the new content to be nothing but filler. The main story beats are all there, but between them is often so much needless padding that I'd rather do without. And that's on top of the greatly expanded length of battles as well, particularly boss battles. Bosses just seem to have way, way too much health and take forever to put down, even when exploiting weaknesses/staggering. I'm tempted to put combat on easy in the hopes it will go faster, but that feels dirty and wrong.

[@SaveMeXenu]

I really don't want to be that guy, but if the bosses are taking THAT long for you, you're doing something wrong. On hard mode the fights still lasted only a couple minutes each.

[@Knator100]

Yeah honestly I'm not a die hard build person but the bosses aren't too bad. You might need to see what you're doing. Not using your techniques or materia appropriately. Granted I have heard some people found it too easy. But I do find normal a healthy balance besides Hell house being the toughest. Hard mode is a different animal but honestly see some game help perhaps you'll see you might be messing up

Greetings Drinker, glad to hear that you is a fan of the original. Is my favorite FF too. I'm playing the rebirth right now and i love it so far. But i'm here to suggest you a game: Is called SIGNALIS, and is an indie survival horror inspired by the classicale Resident Evil series, with an amazing sci fi setting and a story worth to uncover. I think it may deserve one of yours review. From an italian fan, thanx for your job

[@anthonydavis5826]

13:06 - There are materia you can equip to fix that problem. Also, I only played the first few hours of the original FFVII (and not for the first time until it was released for the Switch decades later) and yet Remake was the very first game I downloaded once I had a PS5 and was subscribed to PS+. There are some things that confuse me, but my God, this was one of the most fantastic gaming experiences of my life. I am a thoroughly converted Final Fantasy fan after playing it. So even for a newcomer, this game is still a must-play.

[@MrDezokokotar]

Thats really interesting. I thought, like Drinker, that new players wouldnt like it as much as fans, but ive seen this opinion a lot since Remake came out from people who never played OG - i guess we as fans cant really imagine what its like to see it with completely fresh eyes.

[@prouddegenerates9056]

Interesting treat, glad your expanding

[@Strangerthings9999]

Glad you are liking Remake Drinker! I think I am in the camp where they took too many steps away from original FF7 to get into it and enjoy it. Kind of wish we had a world where there was a FF7 "Re-fresh", where Square simply did a good visual and sound upgrade, polished off any old issues from 7 and let that stand on its own for a bit. Then years later they could decided to do something closer to Remake to imagine a new story and new twists with the old characters. Each to their own though. For now i still have a working PS2, my old 99+ hour save, and a beloved wife who has not experienced the game yet. Need to sit down and do it all over again and see how the memory lives up to reality.

I think I can almost 100% agree with this review. Well said! Despite its flaws it’s one of the most endearing experiences I ever had with a game (and continue to have with Rebirth). Maybe the most important achievement is how well they transformed the characters from the OG. It’s incredible how well they nailed them - and the interactions and relationships just become more fleshed out it Rebirth. I am so happy to be alive to experience the reboot of this franchise.

[@frostieschocopop]

I was waiting for that one! I have no issue with the remake. Remake or Rebirth and I suppose that it'll be the case with the third R. I feel like a lot of old heads went in there with the idea that it was gonna be a carbon copy of the original. I don't know why because : 1) Square Enix clearly said that it was gonna be a retelling to allow old players to enjoy their nostalgia and new players to join in without feeling lost or left behind ; 2) Nomura is behind that shit. What did you think was gonna happen with him directing everything..... There's a lot of padding, the english dub irritates me and some characters that were barely a bleep in the original have way too many lines now just to be annoying.... but I enjoy both games thoroughly because they are actually good. The 1997 version is an international treasure, but the remake is far from being bad. People should waste their energy to continue trashing Dirge of Cerberus. Now, THAT was some bs.

[@traceyrinaldi4759]

To this day I wonder why they did certain things with Dirge...why bring in a never before heard of or referenced faction? Why bring in Genesis, why make Genesis a new "hero" in the post credits? Why is it such a bad third person shooter? There is some genuine gold in Dirge its just covered in shit.

[@Dime_time333]

just to clarify, no it's Kitase, not Nomura who bought all of this changes. Nomura had to fight for the game's story, without him everything would be entirely different

[@arvinjay336]

@frostieschocopop False, Nomura has no say in the story, he actually wanted a 1:1 Remake, the one who wanted the changes is Yoshinori Kitase the OG director of FF7/8, with him being the producer now and producers always have a say in things.. unless your name is James Cameron.

[@richardlee3679]

While I really love this game and was pleased to see Square not shy away from making changes to the story, I'm not sure the whole 'fate/Multiverse' thing was the way to do it. For me at least, it utterly kills any stakes or any satisfaction that can be found in a character overcoming difficulties. They narrowly avoid death? It's not skill, it's just their fate to survive! It was FATED that they would defeat that hard boss. Someone died? Well, there's another universe where that event wasn't fated to happen and those universes can interact so it may as well not have, at least to the audience. I just personally find all that stuff anathema to caring about characters, where every action they take doesn't matter because it was a fated outcome or there is a multiverse dimension in which it didn't. Even 'punching fate in the face' matters little when the fate ghosts return in the next game, unimpeded.

I loved Remake. I personally don't mind the limited exploration because the narrative was that much more impactful. I adore the combat system, though the allied AI needed a facelift. My main gripe is that Sephiroth is given no explanation until Rebirth. Sure, I played the original, so I knew why he's the ominous, all-important antagonist, but the Remake story just has him show up and anybody unfamiliar with the original would have no clue why Sephiroth matters or what he's done. Just a couple lines of dialogue or a 10 second flashback could have changed that. Also, the Whispers are annoying, but I don't completely hate them... kinda felt like a diluting of the story, though.

[@SNAFUq]

The game was great, but the thing that bugged me the most was the train graveyard subplot. They’re gonna blow up and destroy the sector! You do not have the time to interact with ghost children and reminisce about Aerith’s childhood! Maybe if they made the fighting break out a little later at the plate it wouldn’t be so annoying. On the other hand… COMPENSATORY DAMAGES!

I played the original long after it came out, and while I enjoyed it, the graphics and presentation definitely took me out at times. I grew up with games from the Wii era, so what was once cutting edge and mindblowing wasn't seen as such by the time I played it as a young adult. Remake made fall in love with characters that I can only really say were enjoyable before. Barret went from "neat" to "I will go to ends of the earth for this man and his daughter" for me. And while this game gets the closest to the meme "Sony Movie Game," I fell in love with the combat when it let me fight the bigger enemies and bosses. The Hard Mode/NG+ combat simulator was so damn fun to go through. And I was eagerly anticipating when the full world would be available in the next game. ... Now to patiently wait for Drinker's take on Rebirth, and it's ending. I don't think it's as bad as some people make it out, but I won't say I'm the biggest fan.
