Final Fantasy VII Remake Is Everything a AAA Game Should Be

Tom from We Game Daily writes: "Final Fantasy VII Remake is truly is the embodiment of what a AAA game should be. None of the "mile wide, inch deep" world here."

With one exception. Its name is a lie. Its a FFVII Reboot, not a Remake.

MrNinosan907d ago

Or you just need to understand that the word Remake has more meanings than one.

Rynxie907d ago (Edited 907d ago )

Ah, yes, that's what we need. A game that was once sold in a complete package is now being broken into parts with the price tag of $70 each.

I guess next year, Sony will release The Last of Us 2: Remake - part 1 of 3, where you get the first 1/3rd of the game for the price tag of $70 and wait a few years in-between to get the second and third half of the game.

Because, according to this dipsh*t, that should be the standard of AAA games now.

goldwyncq907d ago

Each game will have their own beginning, middle, climax and end. Remake was a complete package and anyone who says otherwise has not played it.

didn't the original come on 4 disks and was one of the biggest (longest) games of its era.?

MrNinosan905d ago

@purple101
FFVII (PS) was 3 discs and not one lf the biggest (longest) games of the era.

It took around 40-45 hours to beat first time, and around 70-80 hours for completionist.

Xenogears was longer, I would assume Breath of Fire 3 and 4 as well, even the Suikoden games was pretty long.

I think FFVII together with most jrpgs on PSOne was around the 40-50 hours mark 👍

FFVII Remake took almost the same time for a first round, but mainly due to cutscenes and more time put on story.

However, FFVII Remake includes a lot that wasn't in the original, and Rebirth will be even more due to the second timeline and Zack.

goldwyncq907d ago

It's objectively not a reboot in any sense of the word though.

shinoff2183907d ago

For as down as u was on this game the day it released for not having turn based combat . I didn't try it again until I got a ps5. I figured wth I'll give it another shot. It was amazing in the end. I'm really looking forward to rebirth.

Deep down though I just hope square don't forget us turn based fans.

MrNinosan907d ago

Square didn't forget "us" fans and they make lots of turn based games still.

shinoff2183907d ago

Sure. They do but it's definitely dwindled. What do we got like 3 4 turn based ones. I'm afraid they'll action up dq 12. What I can think of from square, lost sphear, I am setsuna, couple remasters they did in the last few years but I can't think of anything(doesn't mean they haven't I just can't remember) Which is what it is but I still feel what I feel.

shinoff2183907d ago

Omg octapath that's the one that was on the tip of the tongue but couldn't figure it out. Congrats though like 3

CrimsonWing69907d ago

Honestly, when this trilogy is done and we compile it as one game... I honestly can't think of a game that could beat this. Part 1 was exceptional. Blew my expectations away and this is coming from a long-time Squaresoft fan who lost faith that Square Enix could make an FF game that would appeal to an old-school fan.

Rebirth looks like it's cranking the dial all the way up. I can't even imagine how legendary the finale will be.

Pyrofire95907d ago

Nearly. Too much padding. Sewers, Lamps, and Train Graveyard I think could have been cut/trimmed and the game would be better for it.

shinoff2183907d ago

That's kinda most games when you break it down. You ended up in the sewers due to the story same as the trains. What games don't have padding. The longer the better imo. I want more not a 6 to 8 hour game.

gold_drake907d ago

the only time id say it was padding, was the second time you go into the sewers.

everything else is either new locations or sidequests that are OPTIONAL

Chard907d ago

Too much shimmying through tight spaces

gold_drake907d ago

i loved it. i still do.
the music is just so incredible, the voice actiong top notch (english and german, will never play the jp versions ha), the twist on the story, the slums the locations, wall market, the shinra building my god.

just so so good.

UK Charts: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Plummets As Familiar Faces Retake The Podium

Nintendo Life: "We are back with another look at the UK physical gaming charts, and if you were expecting to see last week's surprise silver medallist towards the top of the pile again, you're sadly mistaken.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has dropped rather substantially from its second-place debut, and now finds itself way down at 17th — just one place behind Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which has made a surprise rebound this week, we might add."

Nice to see Ghost of Yotei back in the top 10. Code Vein II enters at nr. 9.

Neonridr124d ago

A lot of Nintendo on that list.

repsahj122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

Glad to see the Metroid Prime 4 sales spike from #29 to #16. And Ghost of Yotei too.

PRIMORDUS121d ago

I will not play Final Fantasy VII again, because it should have never been separated into 3 parts to begin with. It should have been one game, no matter how long it takes to make.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade [Xbox] review - Perfect Intercession

"Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is proof that good things really do come to those who wait - only question now is how long it will be before Final Fantasy VII Rebirth reaches Microsoft and Nintendo platforms."

I played this 100% on PS4, PS5, and Steam. I’m going for the 1000/1000 and I love this game so much. I’m not bored with it and the last bit was so epic. I agree, it’s a 10/10 for me. Having a blast going through it for another time.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Review | NoobFeed

Zahra from NoobFeed writes: Final Fantasy VII REMAKE INTERGRADE works because it knows how to be careful. The story is told in depth within a single part instead of all at once. Each method helps the characters get better, the plots get more interesting, and the people stay involved. It doesn't feel like too much; it feels planned.

I am excited to know what it sold in its first month.

Tapani127d ago

I thought it was pretty, but mediocre in its storytelling, plot, gameplay and music. I liked the original game much, much more. No fluff, just pure awesome gameplay and a fast-paced story, and a better gameplay loop and system, and the music was better as well, not to mention the overall atmosphere.
