Now is the Right Time for the Final Fantasy VII Remake, but it’s Not Time to Panic Over it… Yet.

"Maybe it was his delivery. Maybe it was the giant Final Fantasy VII logo plastered behind him. Maybe it was the audience being too naïve and optimistic. But when Shinji Hashimoto walked on that stage to make an announcement, the world believed." -Matthew Dimuzio (Resident Entertainment)

Regardless if you agree with the author or not, I applaud someone taking the time to put good effort into a well-presented opinion piece rather than the usual stuff we get around here.

ninsigma2915d ago

I thought it was a great read personally. The author didn't pick a side. They showed evidence of why we shouldn't be fearful of it just yet but also that of course there are going to be some worries surrounding it until we have more info or, like the author said, until the credits roll. This is certainly one that should be approved my the contributers here as it's probably the most balanced article I've seen on the subject. Sadly, I think it came at the wrong time. It's likely to get swallowed by the e3 announcements :(

At this point im just pretending that it isnt being made. If it turns out alright Ill be pleasantly surprised, but it seems like its going to be a disaster.

ninsigma2915d ago

"how is it even final fantasy 7 if its an action game?"

Because ff7 was never defined by being turn based...

kevnb2915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

when you play final fantasy 7 how does the gameplay work? An even better question, how are we supposed to control 4 party members in the way allowed in a turn based game? They could make the game feel more realtime by making it work something like baldurs gate/dragon age/mmos, but judging by trailers they are going all out button masher with non controllable allys.

No mention of fixing the audio issues the dialogue audio is too low this has been reported many times on social media the volume has to be turned up and music has to be lowered to hear the characters properly :(

Babadook71d 9h ago

I have a question as someone who is considering buying the game soon. Is this a fixable issue? Can you just lower the volume for music and sound effects and keep dialog at default?

shadowT1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

yes, it is no issue at all. Just go into settings. Do you have already played the first Remake or the OG?

M3talDiamond1d 9h ago

There are a few youtube videos and reddit tips with some tips on fixing the sound issues but sadly they didnt work for me

M3talDiamond1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

@Babadook7 There are a few videos on youtube with tips on how to fix the dialogue audio this but sadly they didnt work for me. There is an option to lower the music and sfx and keep the dialogue audio at 10 but you have to keep the volume up high (well for my TV I do) but when you are in battles and cutscenes the audio is higher so you have to adjust the audio again.
@shadowT The audio issues doesnt affect everyone there are some people on reddit complaining about the audio and there are other people saying they dont have any issues at all. I think it depends on the TV I have a Samsung QLED 4K and FF7 Rebirth is the only game I have audio issues with.

Babadook71d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Thanks for the answers all.

@Shadow yeah I have the Remake and finished it and loved it (loved the OG also back in the day). My understanding is this is even better than Remake.

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

MeteorPanda32d 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?

ravens5258d ago

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.

MrNinosan58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

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

ravens5258d 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.

VIK212158d ago (Edited 58d 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

MrNinosan58d ago

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

ravens5257d ago

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

ravens5257d 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.

Barlos58d ago (Edited 58d 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.

Tapani58d ago

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

Rebel_Scum59d ago

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

I_am_Batman58d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim58d 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_Scum58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

I disagree Batman
