UDLR discuss the new battle system for FF7 and whether they should have kept to a revamped existing model of the Playstation 1 battle system
Final Fantasy VII 1997 exceeds 15.5 million units sold worldwide as of February 2026, reinforcing its legacy as the series best selling title.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Modern day publisher be like: "Failed to meet sales expectations. Pivoting to live service."
It's an absolute legend of a game. And I honestly really love how the remake trilogy is shaping up so far.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.
Baldurs Gate 1&2 were my games back in the day on PC. Icewindale and Neverwinter Nights as well
I love the look of the new battle system. If the gameplay is as good and as challenging as Kingdom Hearts then its gonna be awesome.
And fighting Emerald Weapon and Ruby Weapon with that type of gameplay is gonna be interesting to witness.
The hardore FF fans are going to buy it anyway. Don't even know why they're complaining.
It would be a waste of this game's visuals for it to be tied down with that old gameplay. Everything about this remake clicks with me. Day 1 buy, if this comes out before XV, it will be my first FF I buy. I received 7 back on PS1, but got bored of it quick.
I consider myself a hardcore FF7 fan. It's my all time favorite game & I have completed over 10 times on different platforms. I'm very excited for the remake. Love what I have seen of the new combat! So excited!!
I wonder if they will include a classic mode in order to play the game both ways
