One of the biggest announcements that the gaming world has seen in a while, was the return of an old classic. Final Fantasy 7 - a game that is often considered to be one of the greatest of all time - is making a return in the form of a Remake for the XBOX One and PS4. But who's going to be playing it?
Square Enix will undoubtedly start the process of modernising this product for a new audience. But we're wondering whether the process of modernisation may impact on the quality of the original, or at least alter the impression that we have of Final Fantasy 7 now. Therefore, for those that like JRPGs, but have yet to play Final Fantasy 7, should they wait for the release date of the Remake, or experience it in its original form?
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.
Love single player RPGs? Here at HardcoreDroid we've complied a list of the top ten offline Android RPGs as of 2020.
I'd say yes - play it. If you haven't played it already you can pick it up cheap enough if you have a PS3, Vita or even PSP. Also hasn't it released on mobile now or am I just imaging it? Either way there are plently of options available. Not sure if the PS4 port of the PC version is still happening as I haven't heard anything about that since the remake announcement.
It'll be interesting to compare the two and I'm really intrigued how Nomura handles it.
Definitely still worth a play in my opinion. The reason they're doing a remake is because the original was so popular in the first place.
Granted the graphics are dated by today's standards, and not everyone is into turn based RPGs. However, the story is still great.
i have play FF7 to death, played it so much i know every secret in the game i know its a bit sad lol. i don't think FF7 has really become out dated yes the gfx is looking old but the game is still one of the best examples of pushing game design and innovation of witch haven't seen any new innovations in games of the recent years and all new games are starting to look the same play the same!!!! on PC and console.
