I remember a friend of mine way back in 9th grade who didn’t like turn based combat said “man the story is cool...but just imagine if you can actually move around freely during combat and just fight instead of having to take turns and shit”....Ashton wherever you are...its been 20+ years but you finally got your wish lol.
Personally, i don't like turn based combat, but final fantasy is final fantasy, i'll still play it no matter what.
The remake will make it more fun for sure.
i love turn based. it actually made me worry about this new version that it is gone. but that said, this game is so well put together! only slight issue i have is changing between characters. if you are in a hard battle it is to easy to double tap by accident and end up trying to use magic or special moves with the wrong character. but i know that as soon as im thoroughly accustomed to it that there will not be an issue anymore
i just hope it isnt a million years until the next installment comes out! i am definitely going to buy any and all installments they release. i cannot wait until i can see some of the later moments and how they do them. also, as far as final fantasy as a whole, i fell in love with the series in the very early 90's following the heros of the light through their quest. first rpg i ever played and never looked back!! and there isnt a single one i have not played and beaten several times over, the original ff7 being the most with 10 or more playthroughs. and I gaurentee that even though version is so solid that i will play the old version many more times throughout the course of my life, barring catastrophe. just based on nostalgia alone i keep being drawn back. and i still find things i missed on previous playthroughs!
Press F for Ashton
Did u tell ashton about this?
POV: You're a ps plus member and you just wanna hear how lucky you were with this month
Yeah
imagine playing this masterpiece for free 😭😍❤
@@akiinmoonlight79 its not a masterpiece its just the first 6 hours of the game strecht out to 36 hours so some of the game is yes super cool but the new shit is soo boring
Yes 😂
Yeah when I saw that Final Fantasy VII Remake will be the next free PS PLUS free game I was like: Hell yeah!
Ah yes, let me take a break from playing the game to find out if I should buy it.
Good idea me!
Same
emas
I'm going at a snails pace with this, I want to soak up every ounce of this world
Hahahaha me too 😂
Same while doing sidequests in chapter 14 :P
"It's a 60 dollar game and I'm happy that it earns the money!"
Me who's getting it for free: Aye, agreed
lol
Still gotta pay for ps plus though so yeah
Is a 60 dollar game that will only keep the story going on ps5 pc and the new xbox. If you have no plans on buying a ps5 and want to play the 2nd half you're screwed
it is not free you have to pay to rent it if you are refering to ps plus
my defntion of renting in this case is something you have to pay monthly for that is a subscription based service
Camera Tips:
Set the Camera to zoom out during combat in the options. I set it to 3 and you don't get as much struggling with the camera.
Set the switching lock on to the direction buttons so you can use the right thumbstick to move the camera and not switch targets.
ttomato182 thank you!!
Any other setting adjustments I should know about to improve QoL? These are great tips!
@@whiskslim237 That's it for QOL. Glad it helped.
Thanks, camrea ridiculous

The remake is the whole game, right? I mean the whole story from the original?
xnxx tipsycamtoe I don't really get it but thanks anyway, haha.
@@korki3581 not not even close and is actually differant it's a remake with an re imagining which is kind of weird because i imagine for new players you will have 4x the confusion compared to people who played the original who will have 2x confusion at the end.
Korki nope part one it’s not a full remake
Bought the game and I'm 15 hours about halfway through the game and the game is great. I recommend it to all, new or returning ff players.
I just finished the original and I'm getting the remake tomorrow in really hyped for it
My biggest problem is size of. Nearly 90 gigs of mem for a third of original game. They are splitting it into multiple games. I did not like the end fight for this. I know it is its own game but they did not fight Sephiroth on the way out of midgar. Few minor annoyances but those are some of my biggest complaints.
Awesome i just got it yesterday and it's installing the data disc files atm XD.
Nice thanks for the advice gonna get this today can't wait to get into this.
Most likely i wont ever play this game.
not going to lie ff7 is one of the main reasons i could read when i was young, not a lot of reading done around my house hold
Big.... Facts.
I didnt read a lot of books as a kid either. Most of my reading was from playing story driven games like Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, Earth Bound...
Aerith
"This guy are sick."
Learned some extensive vocabulary too thanks to this series
First time i play it in Japanese language. Then. I play it on eng
Tips for first play-through
1. Switch characters often in combat. AI party members are super defensive and build atb at a snails pace
2. Swap out materia after it's mastered.
3. If you don't auto upgrade weapons, always grab materia slots first
4. Don't be afraid to sacrifice defense for materia slots
5. Invest in MP/HP up materias, try to get 4 at least to level 2
6. Do the arena battles asap, I don't want to spoil what you get from it, but do it
7. Assess everything
8. Magnify is this game's "All" materia. I only found one so i used it for healing, slot it as soon as you find it because it's infinitely more useful at higher levels
9. You'll find a "pedometer" materia that has no discernible use, slot it immediately
10. Master skills quickly by setting the character you want as the leader, and spam the skill in battle.
And one surprising fact, Barret can make a pretty good Paladin type. One of his weapons has pretty decent magic, with magic up, hp/mp up, provoke, magnify-healing, and revive, he's a great defensive healer, which frees up Cloud and Tifa to focus on what they do best. Give Tifa or Cloud Item Up (I think) materia to back-up heal when necessary and to toss ethers at Barret.
Another tip: Use the walkthrough for materia/weapons. I missed the elemental materia first time around and it sucked not having it for chapters 4-16
Why should I assess everything?
the pedometer always lets you know when there is stranger danger lurking 😂😂
Why is HP/MP up so important?
I can't hear Barrett talk without hearing rdj in tropic thunder " I'm just a dude playing a dude playing another dude"
That 4th wall break was amazing! Especially when all the other dudes made those faces, and Ben Stiller was just like "what?"
THEKNUCKS69 when I stream it I frequently quote RDJ from tropic thunder 😂😂 survive!
When Cloud fell off at reactor 5. He should have looked over the edge and shouted, "Survive!" 🤣
Its not a remake, this is actually an alternate past timeline that the Sephiroth from the PS1 FF7 has come to after he was defeated by Cloud in Advent Children. The game deviates heavily after Shinra HQ at the end with the time janitors. Also because of this Biggs, Wedge and Jessie dont die.
Now I can't un-hear that...
For me these are usually not a before you buy it’s a “while you wait for it to download” 😂
yah it is a big game 100 gigs
@@supersaiyaman11589 he means he watches this channel videos before downloading from ps plus not before buying, he didn't mean it's a big game 😊
@@arthurmorgan8454 no. He actually meant while he waits for it to download because it's a big game. Lol.
Speak up my man

Still not the full game so you gotta wait another 12 years

You know that Sephiroth is the real deal when they even put The One-Winged angel choir in in the intro.

this game is what i was seeing in my head when i played ff7 as a kid
Right!
Well shame that your brain doesn't have great imagination
@@aleksandarmarkovic1013 What are you talking about?
@@aleksandarmarkovic1013 take it you dont like the game?
@@aleksandarmarkovic1013 Lol I think you are lost, buddy
I didn't pick up when it first came out because I was kind of turned off by the fact that this is only one-third of the full story of the game. I never played the original FF7 but I recently got interested in this game again and bought it for half the price. The game is genuinely good, the characters, the combat, the music and the graphics are amazing, I am having a blast. Definitely worth it :D
Just bought it too! It was a shocker for me that this is a 100g game!! bye bye other games! Hope it's really worth it.
@@johncarldelossantos7345 You wont regret it. I finished the game a couple months ago and sold my copy, But I'm buying it again because of the sale. This time on digital so i wont ever sell it back. From what I remember, the game is amazing so you wont regret it. Its so good I'm buying it again.
@@GameoftheYear-fx4mq hahaha, I am currently playing it now. It's beautiful, cheesy and fun XD.
Gameplay is intense but sometimes disorienting. Still good though. I'm loving it.
@@johncarldelossantos7345 Maybe the shortcuts could help for combat?
Just got it as well on psstore, hands down best jrpg I have ever played and I have already platinumed persona 5 base game and nier automata.
I love a lot of your comments.
I struggled with camera. I struggled how easy *most* fights are.
I agree, someone told me to play on hard mode. Lol. The fuck. I just wasted my time playing normal and now you want to to run it back again? GTFO.
@@sly.al.6404 Hard mode isn't available until you beat the game...
Camera is a common problem of 3D games. It's difficult to present a world in a realistic, wholesome manner and at the same time keep a pacing proper to what we should concentrate on.
The camera isn’t all that bad. It’s still a fantastic amazing great game that everyone should play!
have you tried the game on hard mode
Me: Buys game
Also Me: "Let's see why I should buy it again"
Anthony me too lmao
So you can give it to me.
I'm buying it on the pc again whenever that happens.
You can buy the standard version, deluxe, physical, digital.
You can buy the standard version, deluxe, physical, digital.
When I was a kid, I used to constantly restart this game just so I could explore Midgar over and over again. I loved the part where they go to Barrett's bar and used to wish I was in that part of the city. And of course, Aerith's house was amazing too. I never found it, but I heard you could get a key that unlocks the gate to Midgar later in the game after you leave it. Amazing atmosphere.
Isn't it Tifa's bar?
Aaron Quist yes. You find the key buried somewhere if I remember correctly.
@@AlustorMorbus Yeah, it is if I remember correctly.
Talk to a man outside #7 gate who mentions he dropped his key. Visit the foreman at Bone Village and say you're looking for Normal Treasure. Place your hired hands around the top area of the excavation site and set off the blast. They should all point to the Key To Sector 5.
The crazy door noise when you use the key
I can’t believe I’m 34 and am old enough for a remake!!! This game changed my life as well as my friends !! I’m happy to see it still is having an influence today!!
There’s a lot of great remakes otw. Resident Evil 4 otw in a year or two
I definitely had a tear in my eye when I was in the church and heard the music...
Artic Dragon absolutely the same!!!! what a gosh darn perfect reimagining
@@jojipoji2322 Really? You enjoyed the harry potter demenotors? They turn 15 minute plot points into 3 hour ordeals and shovel mind numbingly awful fetch quests at you. How are so many people on board with this? You people are being fed a 10 hour section of the game that's been Frankensteined with contrived nonsense fluff and you're all eating it up, and eagerly awaiting the next 60 dollar retconned mess. Square is cashing in big time.
@@SimonHergott shut up
@@SimonHergott I somewhat agree with you but you take it way too far. The pacing in this game is well done and the added story elements add much more depth to the characters. I just wish I had a full story in one game. It's not the same as RPGs back in the day, but games take much longer to make now. Way more detail, not to mention recording all the voice acting.
Whether or not Square is milking it for all it's worth is irrelevant to me because there is a lot of love being put into this remake. Even just having Nobuo return brings back so much of the original charm. That's not easy to capture but they did a fantastic job. Way more than I expected. Maybe it's not perfect but nothing ever is.
The combat system is lots of fun as well and fully fleshed out. I'm only about 11 hours in but I hope I get a good amount of time to delve into it because it is remarkable. A million times better than FFXIII and FFXIV which felt so pointless to actually play.
@@SimonHergott Dude your just being nit picky and if I recall properly the original game had multiple disc you had to buy because it was so big at the time. So if you want to get real technical it's the same game with WAY MORE content and love put into it.
It's genuinely funny at points and the level of character development.... like they actually feel like real people. I'm really enjoying it so far my biggest fear is who knows when the next part comes out
Hopefully next part doesn't take years to get to us.
Hmmmmm probably 2022. Thatll give them 3 years from nov 2019 and character models. Battle system. world build. Finding voice actors. Game engine Etc is already done in part 1 so not starting over from scratch really. Plus developing on ps5 will be faster too. Way faster its easier than ps4
Lord Sephiroth I like this
@@lordsephiroth2029 they started work on part 2 before release of part 1, and the delay of part 1 was said to not have any effect on part 2's development, I'm expecting late 2021 to early 2022 release window myself. Chances are it will be simultanious ps4/ps5 release, I don't think platform is going to be a factor in the games release schedule. It's all developed and running on PC the console releases are essentially just ports of that core project. The PS5 is going to have more power behind it, so that will definitely mean more freedom and wiggle room with optimizations though.
The...
What...?
Oh and, fun fact: The Facial animation *CHANGES* depending on what language you use to keep the experience the same. Meaning for example, if you pick the Japanese VA, the facial animation changes. Now that's some detail that's rare in many games.
The only thing which sucks is that they didn't bother to make different Subtitles for different Languages. So you'll have the English Dub Subtitles for every language. Which sucks because there's some meaning in the other languages that isn't in the English Dub. But I'm fine with it. Though it kinda sucks if you compare it to Yakuza Like a Dragon.
This was a game I went into not thinking I’d have as much fun as I did. It’s like something you need in your life but just don’t realize it until you have it
PlayStation Plus members, where y’all at?
Yo
Here
I have just finished it and I love it so much
Cant deny it
Hell yeah! Almosy bought the game. Can you imagine XD
I really enjoyed visiting Jessie’s parents. Being able to experience the upper plate like that was truly engaging
also my favorite part
Hey spoilers dude now I wonder what part two and three will be like it got really intense after the city of Marco (can't remember the name of the city) and I wonder how they are going to reintroduce some of the famous characters will they be part of the main story or side quests like the original
I’m playing through it WAY too quick, and I honestly didn’t know it was coming in parts lmao. Even after doing all the side quests I’m trying to take breaks so it doesn’t have to end yet
Playing the new one is easier to understand, but playing the old one first let’s you appreciate all of the extra details
It's okay to get to the end new stuff there 😊
Don't worry you're not gonna miss out on much.
I've been doing all side quest before moving on, and I am 50hours in, on chp13, I think.
Normal mode finished in 44h, now finhish hard mode, and reached 89h... love the game, now to master every achivement 100 hours...maybe 😁😎👍

I’m loving every moment , I’m about 10 hours in and the fights are challenging. Great review here , I just don’t think these clips showcase the graphics enough .
That's the thing with games. I believe that you don't truly get the feeling of that experience until it is on your screen and you have that controller and the ability to experience it. Years ago, I remember seeing Advent Children and thinking "wow it would be awesome to play final fantasy VII looking like this!". Now it's finally here. It actually looks better!. But you have all the locations that look almost exactly the same, like the church with the flower bed.
Eait till pc version comes out 15 looked and played so much better i hated the sloppy ps4 version
I think they were probably a bit limited by trying to avoid any major spoilers or anything and I'm guessing that is where a lot of the neater stuff is. I know this is a remake but its a remake of a 23 year old game, for some people its going to be their first time :)
@@Mandrake42 such as myself. I know of the legacy surrounding it and the characters. was first exposed to them through Kingdom Hearts, then Advent Children. But other than the bare bones spoilers, I went in blind without playing the original. I'm almost finished and so far having a blast playing this remake. What they have done is amazing.
He don't want to spoil the game
Love how it looks exactly like 'Advent Children'
Looks way better in my opinion
the game looks much better lul
The creators considered using the character models in Advent Children in this game but they thought they looked too dated. So they made brand new ones.
@@Wolfknight16 They couldnt anyway because the poly count of those models are 10x higher than game res models. Either way making it from scratch in zbrush would be the way to go.
It looks nothing like it.
Characters are older in AC and have different designs, plus their personalities have changed.
Two years late to the party but what a party it was. Totally loved the game and frankly I am glad they split it in three parts because that definitely means more playtime for me as there is no way they would expand it so much if they had to fit it in only one game. I am in love with the combat system and even after finishing it there are so many things I haven't really used in battle so I am looking forward to trying out the hard mode which will push me to play smarter.
The game generally forces you to think otherwise you die. In the beginning I used to just attack without caring to block at all and it worked fine mostly, and then reno walked in and paid the price for slacking off. I was killed by the dude so many times its embarrassing really.
The story is unbelievably compelling. I have no nostalgia since never played enough of the original so I knew only the basics but still, you dont need nostalgia to like this story, it's so well written I would be excited every time a cut scene started like I was watching my favorite series. Too bad I didn't have popcorn. Music is amazing. I didnt mind doing any of the side quests and part of the reason was I really wanted to explore the towns and walk around and listen to the npcs while a beautiful score played in the background. My favorite was by far the sector 5 theme. Just beautiful. Overall, I had wanted to play this game for roughly 5 years, ever since I saw one of the early trailers so I was afraid i was going to be disappointed because of my own extremely high expectations. I am happy to say it was worth it. Oh, and it runs beautifully on the ps5. Can't wait for the second instalment.
Bought it and haven't been disappointed with it so far. I was worried that the fillers would feel off or superflous but they are actually great. They add more to the characters and really connect with them so well. Hats off the SQEX as they made a game with heart and passion.
Come on chrono trigger
I was tempted but the music didn’t grab me.
How will part 2 carry on a save if it’s in a different system?
I’ll get it but I don’t know.
I was looking forward to Shenmue 3 still haven’t got it yet.
Too many corridors. It was never be as good as in my head.
@@mrmagoo-i2l to each his own I guess. The music for me was mixed but great all the same. Mixed in a sense of I know it's classic but at the same time they've remade it to fit the remade world if that makes sense. Almost every piece of music in the game is recognizable and it's been done really well.
Obviously it wouldn't carry over into other systems as with any other game. They've also said that your levels and probably gear won't carry over to a degree as each entry is considered a game of their own.
Also people don't recognize but the entire first act of FF7 on the PS1 was also very linear. Everything goes straight with very little backtracking. I don't know why people say that the FF7 remake is so linear unlike the original when they are basically the same. The only time the original opens up is when you finally leave Midgar.
I'm a big fan of Shenmue but I haven't played the 3rd one.
Ewwww the fillers suck so much...some of it is alright,but most of it is so bad it's embarassing
@a b so almost every major game publisher? Because almost all of them have been doing this. It's just a matter of which you want to spend your money with.
Can you imagine playing this version back in 97? My head would've exploded.
aladeez nutz but didnt it kind of feel the same dude?! like this where my imagination took me back then!

I’d say it’s worth it. They took the whole midgar portion from 1997 and turned it into a 30+ hour game on its own. Now imagine what’s left after midgar and my god.......
You're looking at another 15 years of waiting or big cuts of content
Walamonga 1313 exactly bro and this is what’s shitty! Yes I bought the game and yes it is amazing... but after years of waiting we get 30-40hrs if gameplay and only a small portion of the game... this makes me kinda mad and people hate on you for pointing that out.
@Scott Nunn Yeah, because all the stuff that take SE years to complete turns out good right? FFXV? Kingdom Hearts III? Who the hell knows what kind of world we're going to be in 2 or 3 years from now for people to really care.
@@Walamonga1313 it's coming on PS5 and the world is gonna be lit.
@Scott Nunn Yeah, now add that up to however many parts there are. There's at least (as in minimum) gonna be 3. But it may take them 4 or 5, even more who knows...
I just hope it doesn't take 10 years for them to put out the next two games
It's cute that you think they're only going to milk 2 more games out of this.
@@Astraeus.. I mean, the og was split off into 3 disks, I figure the remake being split into 3 games would make sense.
They have been working on part 2 for a while already and are using the same framework so it shouldn't take too long. My guess is we'll get Part 2 mid next year and it'll be released on the current and next gen consoles.
There’ll be a year in between each instalment max. Its probably nearly finished, but instead of releasing the whole thing, they just milk us £60 for each chapter
F that, I'm more worried about how many installments there'll be. Maybe more than 3 discs...
Poor Jake trying to stay sane all by himself
@Matthew M I'm sure a lotta care was put into this one. You can make a good game and still get money
@Matthew M every game ever a cash grab
I give it a 10/10, love it. Cash grab? maybe but its well worth it

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Before You Buy video = "goddamn I need this game"
Dude buy it, definitely worth the money. And don't worry about next gen, a Square big wig already stated that the rest will be released for ps4
@@buttscarlton8925 Source on that one? I love the game, it's really good but I don't remember hearing that. What I'd like to see is a free upgrade to PS5 for those who bought the game.
@@buttscarlton8925 he shouldn't buy it. There is absolutely no reason for them to not have made the full game. The real game us probably 5 to 7 hours long. The rest of the game is inflated. The data size is forty something gigs. This was a cash grab. An awful cash grab.
Cody Simpson that’s a lie lol but okay
@@davidmuller6011 what's a lie? The only thing I got wrong was the amount of data. I guess I was looking at the initial install. It said 40 gigs. I guess that was compressed, because the storage says eighty something gigs. This game has so much forced and unnecessary dialogue. You can have a cut scene walk ten meters and climb a latter and you will have another forty five second dialogue/cutscene. When travelling with aerith the game forces you to walk you can run. This games actual run time is more like eight hours. It's worse than borderlands 3 forced dialogue and follow the NPC shit.
Let’s be real, if they did this as the full story it would feel rushed and half assed. I agree with him that it does feel like a full game and tbh I can’t wait for part 2 to come out
I can confidently say that this is indeed a full game with lots of content
I think its good. Look at the Mass Effect Series! A game series could have a huge overarching story withing 2-3 games. And I hope this series does that.
I’m glad I didn’t get it after hearing how Nomura went full Nomura
LOL @ people who were expecting a 6-8 BluRay disc collection for $60.
I was so pissed at the idea of there being 3 separate games for awhile but as time progressed, the idea of having a fully fleshed out Midgar for the first game and id assume fully fleshed out sections out of Midgar made sense. Now playing it for about 10 hours, I'm loving this game so far. Story is great, combat is smooth, areas look beautiful, and the weapon/materia progression is nice. I just wish you can control the other characters outside of combat.
The real question is when is the 2nd part going to release
Couple years, most likely after 2021. They already have an asset library and character models ready to go for the most part so its gonna be quicker than the first part. Since during development they all had to learn unreal 4 and create assets from scratch.
They said it was mentioned in the credits.
I was looking for this comment, trying to confirm if they were releasing this game in parts or not, and you answered that. So. With that, i am not going to buy this game yet; i'm going to wait until all the parts are out. Don't care how long that tskes, but i personally think its rather evil to only do parts of a highly anticipated game, so..
2025
complete story tentatively 2037

Remnant is a great game as well. I haven't played it in months cause I'm stuck on the last boss

The changes to the story is a bold choice on the writer's part. The "remake" aspect of this game may carry an in-universe connotation that was totally lost on us before the game came out, ensuring canonicity for both versions.
I don't know why they keep putting Tetsuya Nomura in the driver's seat with FF7 titles over the guy who directed 7, Nomura's input was just art design in the original. The original director only had a producer role this time round.
Kitase should’ve got the job. Nomura’s writing is convoluted nonsense. As much as I love Kingdom Hearts, the Storytelling is absolutely shite.
@@BrandydocMeriabuck I second it should have been Kitase. He's one of of the all time great directors. But sadly, Tetsuya's celebrity status won him the role of director.
@@BrandydocMeriabuck yeah and he is bringing that shit to the "remake"
@@BrandydocMeriabuck This is my main gripe with Nomura as well. I can appreciate what he does in terms of game system directions but he should leave the writing aspects to others.
Kitase specifically wanted Nomura to be the director. I think he felt a lot of pressure from the FFXV and just gave Nomura all control this time around

This is one of the reasons I bought a PS1 back in the day. I’m still playing but I love to see reviews even though I already have it. Your not the only one going crazy Jake! Lol!
I was skeptical about the first game only being Midgar, but after finishing it a few hours ago? This is everything I wanted and more. I am so blown away with this game that I can't even believe it. I had high expectations and it shattered them. Especially in the later half. Yeah, don't lie to yourself... You screamed too XD
I think they did a fantastic job with the first installment and now I can't wait for the rest of the remake of my favorite game *inhales* OF ALL TIME! Also, Dem graphics doe!
Kyle Nys I’ve heard the ending is really bad. Haven’t loving the game so far but would you agree? No spoilers, of course.
@@Sam-sn8oy I didn't scream. The game was OK. It dragged. The end was silly as fuck. Beat it and you'll see. They are setting this shit up to milk you like they did with kingdom hearts.
I agree this game blew my expectations out of the water. The music gameplay and story are great. Its like playing OG ff7 with better character development and advent children graphics.
I hated it wasn’t the full game starting off but now that I’ve played it through I can say that it was so worth it. It adds so much to the story and oh the feels so many feels.
I really like this game in many ways. However Im kind of dissapointed in the episodic release. Not because I dont understand the reasoning behind it but more because my favorite parts of these types of games are when u get to go out on the adventure in the larger world.
But every episode will be for 60€ or how it will work? i m so confused
@@TheArnau13 Yep, standalone games. Maybe they'll pick up your save data in some way. But expect to pay $180 if you wanna play all 3 as they come out.
@@cucumbra True and I dont mind it since I think each game/episode gives you a full- game experience. Judging from this first one at least.
I just dont see how it can only be 3 episodes if the expand everything else as much as they did midgar. I also pray that they at least let you carry all your equipment over but i fear it may be like the ff13 series where you start over
In some ways the original was episodic. There were some pretty clear cuts there as far as story goes. I am interested in how they manage the open world parts but getting to some cities without story progression is not unlike the original.
This game is fking legendary, it was such a good remake.
Exactly goodamn
My first Final Fantasy game was FFX-2 on PS2 a looong time ago, playing as Yuna and that game was amazing, made me cry at times. Final Fantasy VII Remake is my second Final Fantasy game and I can tell you it is AMAZING. I'm over 70 hours in and I am having lots of fun, doing some side missions, listening to the sweet soundtrack & being surprised at the awesome level of graphics quality present in this game. If you love RPGS, a very well written story, good character development & good combat then you owe yourself to play this game
You should play FFX as well, it’s amazing
I remember waiting in line at Electronics Boutique for hours when the original released at midnight
Shane Fowler mine was an Easter gift from my grandmother. And I’m starting the remake today, on Easter for that reason. That and I took tonight off of work 😂
Brad Reed awesome dude do me a favor & order some of your favorite food & vibe out man. Same thing happened to me 3-4 weeks ago when call of duty modern warfare 2 remastered came out. I vividly remember my mom taking me to gamestop on December 24 2009 & waiting in line. Now 12 years later I’m buying it myself it felt weird
Shane Fowler same bro
I’m assuming you’re a fellow Canadian?
I have the original game on PSP. Y'all can hate me but I had an N64 instead of a PS1. But what got me started on FF7 is Crisis Core
I'm a lifelong fan. I even pre-ordered Advent children. Since the 2005 tech demo this is what I've dreamed of. I thought if they could take kingdom hearts combat and put it in the ff7 world it would be amazing. Having Jessie Biggs and wedge have an integral role was amazing. I give it nine out of 10 just because 10 is hard as fukk to get. Last thought, Jessie is amazing and I love her. 👌
Anthony Kretsch Jessie’s background and story was one of my favorite parts that they dived into.
It gets a solid 8 for story, but has too many issues to get more.
luv jessie. I imagine next patch will fix many of the bugs. Actually pretty polished for todays standards of release no?
Man I remember back then when the first version came out. I was excited to see all the ingame 3d looking character made out of boxes 🤣. It's incredible how graphics have evolved.
I just finished this game and really want part 2 now. I waited to buy this until a sale just because I have never played a Final Fantasy game to the end. I always knew this was a classic so wanted to make it the first one I finish. Some how I managed to not have the story spoiled for me and very glad for that.
I agree with it being a parted series. Shows they will give each piece of the story some expansive love. I think they have been very clear on why they segmented it. But even if they weren’t, the quality makes sense. You don’t want to cram good quality into a set amount of memory. Can’t wait to play my copy.
the only problem is how many parts will we have to buy to get the full story.
Louis-Marcel Otsamba
Hopefully it's just an update that requires X amount of Gigs, or people are gonna be pissed.
And what if it's 5 parts long or something? Not gonna lie, that could really hurt my wallet if each part costs $60, making like,$300 for the whole game.
(I'd probably still be a sucker and buy them though)
Look it’s a great game. But I worry for it’s economical future
@@crisstrider8857 We already know it isn't gonna be that. Future parts will be full priced sequels.
This is my first FF game and after 33h in I gotta say this game is among my fav game of all times, and that’s something very very rare for me to say
I feel the same, i tryed to play the og again since that was my favourite ff but instead i ended up with the remake again for the 5th time. Can t wait to start it again with intergrade and no save data
I actually didn't see any of those low res textures during my gameplay... everything loaded and rendered perfectly. Weird. The game is amazing and I found it flawless - coming from a long time fan of the FF7 world. Really appreciated how much detail and love that went into this project from Square Enix.
The rendering is more problematic if you constantly run everywhere (like when I was just running through chapters 3,8, and 9 to get the "Dressed to the nines' trophy. But just normally playing the game doesn't effect the rendering too much. Most of the lower res objects are active objects so I'm not too bothered by them, better that then having a 20FPS framerate from the engine having to constantly render.
This looks very awesome. This will be my very first final fantasy game I ever play.
How did you like it?
10 hours into this game and so far I love it. Like the new story add ons and the changes made from the OG. Leveling, weapon and materia progression is smooth and works super well. Combat has been exciting and I love the amount of flexibility you have as a player in how you want to play. The game has been easy for the most part (on normal) but the boss battles have been the most challenging. I was on the fence about there being 3 games but at the end this decision works out well. We finally get to explore more of Midgar, which is amazing considering that Midgar is such an iconic part about the OG FF7. Definitely worth the 60 bucks. Can't say the same for RE3 Remake.
So, anyone who bought it for 60$ I am really sorry
not even a year old.
why are ypou sorry it was worth the money imo
@@supersaiyaman11589 never said it wasn’t, it’s just that now it’s free so...
They get to keep the game forever whereas you need a subscription forever 🤷♂️
@@youlittlerocket umm subscription is way cheaper, even if you consider an yearly package, and you get games like these for free
When every episodic part for ff7 remake comes out I will buy it in a heartbeat, but I'm relieved to hear everyone enjoying it and that's it's worth the price of admission
That will be several years, i have been waiting near 20 for anything and am happy with it. A full collectors set would have to sell for $500+ easily when they are done but you probably would get a 6" buster for the trouble.
Unknownviewer27 it’s not lol it’s a completely different story than the original which doesn’t make it a remake
@@w0Mbol0Gy It's a complete game, it's fun, and it's great.
@@beaniiman I don't think it will cost that much, it costs $100 to buy all the Kingdom Hearts games
@@w0Mbol0Gy it's not a completely different story it's just more fleshed out
so i just finished the first reactor. the boss was a huge pain in the dick before i got a hang of the new battle system, but holy hell is this game great. cloud is what i would imagine him to be from my very first run through in 97, barret drips badassery, biggs and jessie are wonderful, jessie has always been my favorite ff7 female, and this game doesnt change that. wedge though. as soon as i heard him start talking and realized he is voiced by the guy who plays badger in breaking bad... holy shit. his awesomeness has skyrocketed based solely in that. and biggs and wedge have always been favorites just based on how many ff games they have appeared in, but this put wedge over the top for me. the camera has been a pain in the ass already, but i can definitely get passed it easily. but its so good imo that i had to stop playing to come rave about it! BUY THIS GAME!!!
I'm really impressed but I think wedge is s bit irrelevant unless he's aimed at twelve year olds.i like Barret and the others.
I'm over and underwhelmed at the same time by this game
Same coming from the original to this is like damn everything is so good
@heeey eeey You're kidding right? Give some examples?

All of that is just offensively bad.
Anna did a Thingy These remakes remind me of the RE Remakes! This one seems to appeal to a lot of people kinda like RE2 Remake,but some people complained about the over the shoulder gameplay. Now we have FF7 Remake which ditches the turn based gameplay(thank GOD!) and brings a faster action gameplay that’s even better than FF15 and faster fast travel?! Turn based games are good and I played a number of them,but sometimes you just want to hack through enemies to progress! This game gives you that! It strangely reminds you of RE2 Remake,because it gives fans what they want while compensating for an old gameplay style. However RE3 Remake came out recently and was more like the original,except some content was cut,and ideas were thrown out the window, for a short ,but sweet experience! People were very disappointed with it,because it didn’t fully live up to the RE2 Remake! RE3 originally wasn’t the better game, which made Capcom think that a remake for it
had little value,so they kinda ditched the effort ,and made a lot of people disappointed, which is a shame! There are RE games still to remake and make better ,and possibly they may end up redoing RE3 Remake as a result,but boy what a shame! Square Enix however, knows how much people love FF7,so they’ll probably continue the next two games strong!
Watching this while playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake lol
Why?
I'm so glad they didnt cash grab us
Man, I would love a remake in this style of the classic Suikoden 2
I thought the game was incredible.
I can’t wait to play as Red XIII in part 2
Been playing since release off and on and I absolutely love it. Ff7 is my favorite game ever and now this is my new favorite game ever. I hear the few gripes people have but I haven't noticed them too bad. Haven't had issues with camera at all. Textures popping in and put never bothered me so I dont even notice when they do.
My one issue is with a few backdrops and parts of the environment that aren't great. Like aerith and her flowers in here garden looked so bad like real bad and I never get upset about that stuff either. Kinda looks like they ran out of time to make it all look perfect. Or maybe there wasn't enough umph in the ps4 to get it all in. Its minor anyway.
The music, the characters and each area of midgar is absolutely perfect. They really brought midgar to life. Walking in 7th heaven or Aeriths house man just gave me goosebumps and made me wanna tear up. The music is perfect cloud is perfect jessie biggs wedge they're all perfect. I love this game and cant wait for the next ones
Look, I know you're here wondering on whether to play the Remake or not because of psplus... but DO! PLAY IT RIGHT NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
well, i yet have to finish that control game we got last month, so there is that.
@@szylaj Yeah im playing that as well.
The Battle System is too good, I was initially skeptical on how they would meld the ATB system into real-time action but this game proved me wrong. I love how everything is done on the fly. The summons! I can appreciate how you have to work for the Summons to be made available to call in because in the original game we could just spam summons.

I’ve seen other reviewers say that theirs a LOT of filler content. Which is why I’m either waiting for a Complete Edition or for each part to go on sale for $20 each. I’m not paying $60 for ONE part of a game. Plus...who knows when part 2 is coming out. Games take YEARS to make. Theirs no rush for me to get this right away...I can wait...
the fillers are the sidequests. not the game itself or the main story
Daryl Dixon but paying 60$ each part is ridiculous and not worth 150$ or more so for a game! I will wait as wel
Exactly what I commented.
Daryl Dixon I never played the original final fantasy but I do enjoy games that are fully done and full price. So from what you said it’s worth it due to the time you put in?? I only played ff15 that’s it, so this is all new except buy games, I remember halo 2 days when dlc were 5$ man I miss the old times
I have a few major gripes with the battle system:
1) If you use any action with the ATB gauge and are hit during the process, even before the animation for using a potion starts for example, it still takes away your ATB gauge but you don’t complete the action.
2) Some of the hit stun in this game is completely ridiculous, you might as well put your controller down until the enemy finishes their combo because you’ll have no chance to parry or evade out of it.
3) Sleep is completely op against your party if you do not sacrifice your entire accessory slot for an item that makes you immune to it, a simple system where you build up a slight resistance for that one battle if it’s used on a character multiple times would balance it out a bit.
4) Evading attacks can be a major pain in the ass purely because of how hard the spells and directions of enemy attacks lock onto and follow your character, forcing you to block some of the bigger hits and take a ton of extra damage.
Still really enjoying the game but these issues stuck out a lot during my play through.
1) I with your number 1 completely, that is dumb annoying, to fix it they just have to make it where you don't lose the ATB gauge until the move executes. The problem with that is you can't start building ATB until the move is used if you have 2 bars which makes you unable to act quicker which is the point of the new combat.
2) I also somewhat agree with your number 2 as well but such a problem only really applies in segments where Cloud may be alone or when multiple enemies use the same attack often, which isnt often.
3) refer to 2 but also buy the appropriate items, or ensure you have esuna. available and dodge the attacks. even with multiple enemies there is usually a huge tell and message prompt from the attack. Act accordingly and its really not a problem.
4) I completely disagree, Not every attack is meant to be dodged, sometimes its about where you are when the attack goes of and sometimes its meant to force you to block. an example of this is the Shiva fight, she has a move called Whiteout that can't be blocked from the front and is extremely hard to dodge correctly from the front as well. It sets you up for devastating damage if you are hit, but if you stick close to here and walk behind her you can avoid the attack altogether with out the need to block or dodge. Thats how some things are meant to be to force you to be tactical and not try to do one thing the entire game to negate incoming damage.
this is just my opinion but I respect yours as well.
Sound like Learn to Play Issues
I can't help with your other issues, because i personally don't have a problem with them.
set "binding materia" on your character's wrist. Gives you resistance to sleep, silence and beserk. The higher you grow the materia the larger your resistance. and you don't need to "waste" an accessory slot. Check the stats on materia, most of the non elemental materia give you some sort of resistance.
If you combine that by putting the "binding" materia on someone who has "Healing Materia" equipped, the will likely not get sleep and can also wake the other characters.
You need to pay attention on enemy skills (red font) so that you know if you need to block or dodge if it's an AoE.
Tip: Git Gud!
The game was great, and the nostalgia really brought it home. The attention to detail for the game was phenomenal. Went back to play the original, and must say that I really like some of the differences that were made.
This is game genuinely made me appreciate the support tower sequence and the characters with it a lot more then the original game. The character development and overall feel of each and every one of them just really touches your heart. You tend to grow more attached to them the more you play.
Have you also noticed that the facial animations for some of the non-essential npcs (think sidequests) seem a bit off? I couldn't help but notice in some dialogue cutscenes.
Yeah it's weird. The NPCs and some random things are incredibly low res too. Like doors...in the middle of a beautifully rendered scene...a door will look like the original Resident Evil door from PS1. Super weird but the game is still awesome.
The movements are also intentionally coarse, as I imagine it does try to follow based on language. This concept isn't extreme - the materia and even materia links in cutscenes changes based on what you have equipped.
Literally watched this an hour after I bought it. Pumped to check it out.

Aaron Wright Nojima (the writer of the original) is writing the story.
@heeey eeey I liked Crisis Core and Advent Children though, so fillers really aren't gonna hurt me much
Exactly lol
Makes me want to play FFX that was my favorite. Apparently that's weird.
ff10 was good 👌
I love FFX
Final Fantasy X is an awesome game, but I just couldn’t get invested in it.
JRPG’s sometimes have a slow beginning and a steep learning curve, and as much as I WANTED to dive right into it, this particular game was hard FOR ME to keep playing.
Guess I never had the right way of experiencing it because I started on PS2 and stopped very abruptly, continued on with the HD Remaster on PlayStation 3 then eventually lost interest. 😔
I got it for the switch its badass I feel like it was ment for that system
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
Know what I mean?
I was a kid when I bought a DvD, yes I bought a DvD of Final Fantasy: Advent Children...I was dreaming about this day in which I get to play in that environment with these graphics for years...And here we fucking go, well over a decade later and I'm 25 years of age being giddy as fuck. I bought a PS4 just for this, it should arrive tomorrow.
EDIT: It's fucking amazing.
OMG I'm not the only one. It's why I got a PS4 for ff7r!
Didn’t like that ending though. I’m really skeptical of where they’re taking the game forward.
But before the last couple of hours of the game, it’s great. I’m working on my first of many replays to be sure.
But that ending....
At least I still have the original 😁
The ending was really extra I doubt it'll affect much. But yeah it was a little too much
I fear once the majority of players "right now around chapter 9" once they will reach chapter 18... they bomb the game with even more nostalgia filled ragebombs... LIKE WTF SQUARE WHAT U DO... putting 4-0s admiting 3/4 or 90% of the game were absolutly great at times.... but feel cheated for the ending.... Which in my humble opinion were made for 2 reasons... 1st to finish the game on a higher note than the crazy chase and second to show us... the players what´s to come. Like a hidden trailer of some sort.
For me if you ignore the whole barrier thing the game is a 1to1 of the whole midgar arc and i loved almost every single second of it...
Allthough no potions in trashcans... -5/10 xD. Be honest you checked all the buckets back in the day yourself.
**POSSIBLE SPOILERS**
I thought the ending was actually pretty nice. We all know the story and outcome of the original, and so do Aerith and Sephiroth. So they are fighting Destiny so they can have true freedom from the fate that the old ff7 timeline has for them. At least that's how I interpreted it and it made me excited to see how they decide to try and change their futures. The whispers made sense to me after I thought about it for a little bit.

I loved it too. despite what angry fans may say. I thought they did everything right.
The only time I didn't need a before you buy. This game is a love letter to fans and newbies alike.
Technically a cashgrab too. They did that one cutscene for e3 a long time ago and only midgar was released. They could have done the whole original game
If I want it that badly, I'll wait to buy it when it's bundled with the second half.
But what about the third final half? The next chapter isn't the final one ya know.
So I FINALLY got the game and have been playing it non stop for like five days while I was on vacation from work. I am in love with this game soooo much! Didn't realize that it was actually a part one till today lol (I haven't finished the game yet). I loved the original game and still able to play it on my ps2, yes it still works lol, and I love this game just as much if not more. I love that there is more to the story line and we get more interactions between the characters. This game really truly brings them to life. The combat system is fun, camera I agree is a pain, and the system really is a challenge when it comes to strategy. This game gives you so many options. I'm excited for the other parts to come out.
Real fun comes with the hard mode.... really

I will never regret buying and playing this game. I played the original as a child a couple of years after it came out. I have really fond memories of playing with my dad and beating it. We played this together several times, made our own strategy guide book and loved it together, and we cried and laughed together as we played. I was really hoping that we would be able to play this together, but social distancing nailed that coffin shut. As I child I also played 8 and 10, and I really loved both of those games! When 11 came out as an online game, I was so disappointed. FF12 was okay, but 13 and it's continuation was an abomination and after I was so scarred that I nailed the coffin shut on FF all together. I happened to get 15 for free from a friend and it kindled how I felt about 7, 8, and 10 a little bit. Final Fantasy 7 Remake was the explosion of that kindling. This game got a 9.5/10 for me. I am so excited for the future of FF after this!
I hope you got to play this with your father after all.
