5 Reasons Why I Am Worried About the Final Fantasy VII Remake

Bit Cultures writes: So you may have heard that they’re doing a remake of Final Fantasy 7 (If you haven’t, welcome to the internet!). The announcement (and only evidence) of the game is a short trailer with no gameplay, a verbal salad of a voice over and climax just showing Cloud and Barrett’s backs. It doesn’t matter. In a console generation both bloated with remakes while sporting a number of exciting new games of it’s own this is still considered a huge deal and getting a lot of hype, and of course there is. Final Fantasy 7 is easily the most broadly beloved and known in the franchise. Bit Cultures just put out a big list of things it did really well, but those were the things Square Enix of 1997 did. The mass is getting our remake from the new Squeenix. The one that made 13.

I'm just hoping the development cycle will be a bit shorter than XV's.

Summons753122d ago

I'm still guessing it'll be out in 2017 in time for the 20th anniversary.

iliimaster3122d ago

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda16d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5242d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212142d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5242d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5242d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani42d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum43d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman43d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim43d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

I disagree Batman
