How Final Fantasy VI Influenced Final Fantasy VII In A Huge Way

Being the seventh game in the series, it’s a no-brainer that Final Fantasy VII has many allusions and references to the games that precede it. But out of all the previous titles, Cloud’s adventures owe a lot to Final Fantasy VI in more ways than one.

Nice and very true article. I wonder what ffvi would look like running on ffvii remake engine.

Dabigsiebowski1463d ago

Its unreal engine 4.

It's a great game. Just way to linear and not as broad as I was hoping. I was hoping the game would be a bit more open on the upper plate but it never really is.

They get a free pass from me this time but the next games need to have some of the biggest landscapes in gaming with plenty of added in smaller filler towns till you hit the bigger ones that were in the original. Also the SSD should actually be really helpful in the PS5 when it comes to rendering an actual massive underworld when it comes to the high wind. Air travel would be huge if they can pull it off. However they need a world in the end that is roughly 250GB plus easily for that amount of content. Make it happen and finish strong and keep hiring.

Aside from FFXV,Square games just use Unreal 4. Same engine as Octopath Traveler,Trials of Mana,KIngdom Hearts III and so on.

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.

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

ravens5220d 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.

VIK212120d ago (Edited 20d 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 🤣

ravens5219d ago

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

ravens5219d 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.

Barlos20d ago (Edited 20d 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.

Tapani19d ago

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

Rebel_Scum20d ago

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

I_am_Batman20d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim20d 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_Scum20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
