Review: Final Fantasy VII Remake is good but not always fulfilling | Gamezone

Gamezone: "Despite some disappointments and Square's lack of appropriate messaging that this is only Part 1 of a larger story, I still largely enjoyed my time with Final Fantasy VII Remake. The exciting combat system, the ridiculously amazing soundtrack and a Midgar that was a joy to look at and run through all combined to give me a fuzzy feeling inside I only ever got from playing the original."

Claims there's nothing to say it's only part of game yet if you look at back of box under the picture of Aerith it's says it covers up until your escape of Midgar

cooperdnizzle1485d ago

And I would say they have advertised it as such as soon as they dropped 3rd party developer and did it in house. Ever since then they have said time and time again it was part 1. So for the past 2 years hahah. Common knowledge

meka26111485d ago

Well to be fair it says nothing on the front of the box about it, you have to look at the back which some people don't do. Also they were deceptive with their demo as well since it followed the story to a T and once you get past the demo area the ghosts and sephiroth show up. It was so people that wanted a 1 to 1 thought they were getting it.

PTMG1485d ago

I find it hard to believe that people, especially 'journalists' didn't know it was only up until that point. For the last few years it's been pretty well documented its only part 1. And like someone else said the back of the box clearly states its only Midgar.

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

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.

MrNinosan31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

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

ravens5230d 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.

VIK212130d ago (Edited 30d 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 🤣

ravens5230d ago

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

ravens5230d 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.

Barlos31d ago (Edited 31d 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.

Tapani30d ago

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

Rebel_Scum31d ago

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

I_am_Batman31d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim30d 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_Scum30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I disagree Batman
