Final Fantasy VII Remake Reviews
We would like to be able to divide the evaluation of Final Fantasy 7 Remake into two moments, evaluating the first with all the positivity possible, net also of very diluted chapters and an experience that does not always keep a precise and rapid pace, and the second with so much skepticism towards that narrative smudge that is revealed at the end.

It’s so refreshing for Square Enix to put out a game with minimal issues, especially since there are fundamental problems that have plagued these games since arguably Final Fantasy X on PS2.
The Final Fantasy VII Remake had an incredible reputation to uphold and does so with a confidence and elegance lacking in many modern-day releases. Square promised to deliver something truly special and succeeded on all fronts.
The first part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake deepens the structure of Midgar, the story and the characters of the originale game, but leaves the players with too many questions about the future and the structure of next episodes.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is a great game, excellent, even, for today's standards. And for the most part, it is exactly what fans have been asking for during the past ten years. But the truth is that this isn't it; this isn't the game that was promised.

Final Fantasy VII Remake finds a satisfying balance between innovation and tradition, delivering flashy battles and fun systems mixed with nods for old-school fans
Final Fantasy VII: Remake is a grand experiment that succeeds on all fronts. It may seem like a blatant cash grab at first, sure. But dig a little deeper into this Northern Crater, and you’ll find a lot to fall in love with.
Final Fantasy VII Remake delivers a bold reinvention of a classic while changing what a remake truly means.
For the most part, Square Enix's ambitious project is an enormous success, with achingly beautiful aesthetics, a mesmerizing story, and snappy combat. Uneven pacing and the repetitive nature of dungeons keep it just shy of perfection, but overall, FF7 Remake is a game to cherish for fans and first-timers.
The first episode of the Final Fantasy VII Remake series gets off to a strong start, and despite the odd graphical blemish, pacing issue and bizarre plot addition, it's hard not to be optimistic about what comes next.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a helluva ride, and whether this is your first foray into the world of Final Fantasy of you’ve been an FF fan for decades, there should be plenty here to like.
The quality of this product is good in itself, but what makes it special is the name it carries. What happened to the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes are likely to happen for the next part (or maybe parts as well) of Final Fantasy VII; The hype surrounding the game is slowly running out, and now the creators have to work harder to impress the audience. Again, the Final Fantasy VII remake is really high, but it's unfair to say that our many years of waiting for it have had no effect on our surprise at the final product.

In the end, when the world of Remake is so painstakingly realized, the combat so immersive, the characters this fully brought to life, I found it difficult to remain steadfast in my apathy towards its source material. Even as the game reaches its heart-stopping conclusion, hinting at not just a greater villain to confront, but a saga on the verge of sweeping you away, Remake feels complete.
With "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" Square Enix delivers a fantastic remake of the former roleplaying game classic and enriches it with some technical and content innovations. The combat system features a whole new level of complexity, while the developers are still focusing on the strengths of the original. The game world is atmospherically set in scene, while the elaborately animated game sequences are accompanied by a grandiose soundtrack. While "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" lacks nothing of narrative depth, the game weakens occasionally by blurred textures. Nevertheless, with "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" the players are served a more than successful action-RPG, which will especially delight the fans of the original. Ultimately, players can be curious to see how the adventure of Cloud and his friends continues and whether the developers will soon release the next episode of the successful role-playing game.

The remake of the 7th Final Fantasy is an awesome game and it would be an excellent if it hadn't been for a few mistakes. The story changes are just in place, the battle is smooth and the visuals are breathtaking. If you've never played any title and wanted, the Seven is the ideal entry title. The game takes a recommendation of 9 out of 10. It is simply a breathtaking experience that combines Eastern and Western elements better than most games.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is a fabulous revival.
Whether you’re a series die-hard or a newcomer, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a must-have.
FFVII Remake impressed me in every possible way. The level of detail to the world building and character development is some of the best I’ve ever seen in a video game. There are several trophies that you can only acquire after a few playthroughs with making different choices, so there is a huge replayability factor. Square Enix took a big chance by taking one of the most influential video games of all time and completely revamping it.
Though a couple of story beats seem stretched or concerning, Final Fantasy VII Remake is an overall fantastic game that does justice to the original with its grand gameplay, thoughtful additions to the story, and beautiful music and visuals.
Little things have been lost along the way, but what we have gained far outweighs the losses. What matters is still intact, and that’s the heart and soul of one of the greatest stories in video game history. It’s a return to form that has felt a long time in coming, and what’s even better is that there’s still at least two more games of this quality to come.
