Like what many have already stated, the writers failed to understand what made ff7 such a great game. I felt dirty after playing Remake, it like it was disrespecting 97’s version by trying to view it as a true remake. Rebirth felt similar but at least I got to see a good job of the world building aspect. I feel bad for the developers because this could have meant more than just a money grab cash-in reboot of a classic. Why did they have to change so much, at least leave their personalities out of it, change tthe combat but why take death out and replace it with multiverse bs - it’s not a remake anymore it’s a b-list imitation at best. The changes made to this remake serve to try and make everyone happy and end up making it generic anime game. The cutest, teenage grunts and silly noises are cringe worthy, the multiverse ghost people keeping anyone from truly dying, the broken difficulty options (choice between auto pilot or increasing the healthy bars of enemies). The combat mechanic is decent compared to remake, graphics and world are about the only reason to “revisit” this game. I enjoy seeing the world come to life from what I’ve played in polygons so many times prior but the cringe changes and silly writing makes it feel more like a Persona game than the mature game from 97. I would give it a forgettable generic 3/5 as a stand alone game if I didn’t know it was attempting to be a remake of one of the best video games of all time. The graphics are good, the combat is ok. The story tone, voice acting and writing are all cliche and silly. Nothing close to the original. Yes it sounds like a harsh review but you had one job and perfect source material. Why tf take artistic liberties and ruin your one shot to remake the game in all its original glory. It would serve better as a cartoon/anime short series

3 stars because season 1 was 5 and season 2 was 1 Two different shows almost

Propaganda full of PR sob stories that paint the CEO in a positive light

Fun story makes it worth playing and is quite enjoyable. But there’s not really anything particularly done well - for a game that took 8 years to make it plays like it’s from 2012. Tons of bugs too. GTA 3 had better mechanics

It’s a decent game so far will update when I finsh. Nothing groundbreaking or next-gen. It’s basically odyssey except not quite as good. Edit: wow don’t believe the hype. By the last 10 hours or so I had to start skipping dialogue and non-boss fights. It’s sooo boring. Lots of bugs and the combat is atrocious. Wait and get it used for $5 one day

Absolute trash of a game. It’s like they didn’t even try. I bought the $90 ultimate edition thinking it would follow in the greatness that is Modern Warfare but nope - horrible game. They couldn’t even make their own Warzone or more than 1 zombie map. Zombies is so boring. Please don’t waste your time or money on this failure.
