Man, no one asked them to overcomplicate the game with rubbish things like this. We want the next FF to have those things, not FF7. All FF7 needed was a new coat of paint and SOME refinements to gameplay...thats it. The game could have been out years ago and the new FF would be on the way.

Nice of you to speak for everyone.

Too bad you don't represent anyone else but yourself.

Spurg1660d ago

Pretty sure everyone would have liked a simple remaster(ala Shadow of the colossus remaster) rather than a full remake. Fact is FF7 remake has a chance to backfire, the battle system, expanded story, and episodic releases. What could have been a sure bet by Square Enix may turn against them and tarnish the FF name for a long time.

"Pretty sure everyone would have liked a simple remaster(ala Shadow of the colossus remaster) rather than a full remake."

Calling Shadow of the Colossus a simple remaster is an insult to Bluepoint games.

They did a lot more than just increasing the resolution and AF.

This is an example of a simple remaster.

I think what fans of the classic FF7 game wanted was a game that's the same as the original but with redone visuals to bring it up to today standards.

They announced it years before the remake was even thought of that it would not be a simple remake to do. And they followed through. Just play the remaster and stay away from the remake

This mini game is in the original, what are u talking about?

"Pretty sure everyone would have liked a simple remaster"

I'm pretty sure you're wrong considering the down-votes and the numerous praise it has gotten at every game show it has appeared at so far. It won best of E3 and had the most accolades. It has even converted nay-sayers like yourself. So yes, maybe stop talking for "everyone". It's just you.

AnotherGamer1660d ago

If they did that, it will be the same game just prettier and predictable. Take a look at the RE remakes, the plot of the games are the same but they added new things with a new fresh coat of paint, quality of life improvements and so much more. Besides, the minigames were in the original FF7, so what the hell are you talking about?

Nacho_Z1660d ago

I thought I wanted a simple graphical upgrade but this remake looks so well done while being faithful to the original that it makes that idea look very small and unimaginative.

Couldn't be further from the truth xD

rainslacker1659d ago

It's a minigame. It's not that complicated. Every FF game has had minigames.

modsrhypocrite1659d ago (Edited 1659d ago )

I agree with you aside from everyone wanting it. People always whine for remakes. Graphics override most gamer's brains. Always has. They drool and squeal over graphics. Remakes are always the majority people ask for to make things shinier. (and in the case of RPGs - bitch about turn based combat 🙄)

I am in the minority. Hate remakes, and graphics don't matter to me. Cool graphics are cool, but time and again graphics are put over story and gameplay. Same thing for simplifying. People praise that too. Remasters are fine, but remakes and reboots are meh.

The new FFVII is just an alternate universe retelling all shiny to make the general gamer happy. Might truly be amazing. It does look cool. But no matter the downvotes or tantrums, or insults, or whatever happens here, it isn't the original FFVII just better graphics, and never will be.

I'll play it some day when it's on sale. As I play all JRPGs. Just not interested in what they have done to it.

MeteorPanda1659d ago

Wtf? I want them to drag out this game as much as possible. I want them to add to the story, introduce crisis core lote, whatever

goldwyncq1659d ago

If you just wanted to play the original but with better graphics then stick with the original. But the rest of us who actually wanted a remake are happy with what they've shown.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash1659d ago

@Spurg Not me boi. I like what I'm seeing with this remake.

CrimsonWing691659d ago

I so can’t freaking wait for this game!!!

Juancho511659d ago

Im glad im not gonna feel like I'm playing the same game, I'm sure there'll be tons of surprises and Easter eggs. Im just curious to see all the environments redone, a lot of the areas were beautiful and that was in the 90s!

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

MeteorPanda13d 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?

ravens5240d 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.

MrNinosan40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

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

ravens5240d 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.

VIK212140d ago (Edited 40d 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

MrNinosan40d ago

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

ravens5239d ago

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

ravens5239d 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.

Barlos40d ago (Edited 40d 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.

Tapani39d ago

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

Rebel_Scum40d ago

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

I_am_Batman40d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim40d 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_Scum40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

I disagree Batman
