Current Events > So I finally beat Final Fantasy 7 Remake (Spoils)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got the game in September but I held off till January to play it.

This game is a easy GOTY for me. I loved it so much

The artstyle and lighting alone deserves a award. This game preserves so much and makes it look so much better than 90% of FF15.

Music is done by Uematsu, so its a automatically godlike and a easy 11/10. This game has so many battle /boss themes and they are all AMAZING. Each one is unique and memorable

Combat... I love it and its easily the Squeenix's 2nd best combat system, but there a few things that bring it down kinda quickly, like air combat, lock on/ camera, and bosses ending stagger early to change phases.
Not as fluid as Tales combat, but after playing the demo like 30 times and finally the game, Its great but there's room for improvement

Characters...Love everyone including npcs which is rare. Main cast is excellent and pretty faithful. VA is great but there was like 3 characters whose voices I didnt like.

Story...loved it, but I see why people would be concerned. Theres a few changes I don't agree with, but with some of the added changes to the main game, I'm willing to see how it plays out. Honestly there was one chapter I didn't like and one chapter I liked but thought dragged to much. There's also a lot of 'slow walking' parts of the game, which I don't mind at first, but repeat playthroughs will make it kinda annoying.

I give this a 9/10

Fucking loved it! Definitely the best FF since X.

I'm looking forward to part 2. I really hope it doesn't take forever to finish.

And parts 3-12

For real. Game was everything I wanted and more.

Last of Us II and FF7 Remake were the only big highlights of 2020, personally. Oh, and Ghost of Tsushima.

I'm hoping it'll be done by part 4.

I never played FF7 before, I beat this Remake

I want The REMAKE of the PSP version the Soldier's game

This Remake was for me them setting that up, that ending was legit

HIS REMAKE IS COMING

---

What a soundtrack

---

It wasnt really anything special to me on my first playthrough because the combat could mostly be won by just mashing X
But playing it on hard mode felt like it actually took strategy. rearranging my materia alot more often etc. Hard mode was pretty great

right behind Ghost of Tsushima for GOTY for me

---

I enjoyed it. I am unsure if I will continue to enjoy it over several more games.

---

Despite camera issues, this game has some of the best boss fights ever

Loved and remember practically each one. Music does so much for video games. It's definitely top 5 FF soundtrack

There's only one boss I thought was kinda lame and that was The Arsenal

I actually liked that one. It took me so long to kill the thing I actually ran out of cover haha.

I'm amazed people give it 9 and 10s

It's story falls apart and it's so full of padding. Even after 40 hours of gameplay it matches 5 hours of the original game.

---

The only time I felt like there was high levels of padding was the main objective of Chapter 14 (The Sewer revisit) and Chapter 17 (Overstayed it by like 20 mins or one section)
---

I know people complained about the sidequests, but now only did I not mind them, I thought there was a perfect number to them. Simple quests that give you cool stuff and change small things later in the game.

They could have slapped in a mission board that autofills with quests and call it a day.

I liked the sidequests.

They were full of worldbuilding
