the last 2 chapters weren't nailed by a design standpoint.

Lore1464d ago

The last three chapters were among my favorite of the entire game. Although the whole game was flawless so it’s hard to really judge. Those who are stubborn and went into it without an open mind are those who will complain about any changes. The changes were necessary to keep the FFVII world that they lovingly created all those years ago alive. They now have an opportunity to give us all more of the characters once this remake is done. Can span out to multiple numbered games in the series now.

So as a fan of the story, world and cast of characters, I for one am really pleased at the potential for it to be expanded upon past the end of the original game if that’s where the writers are going to go with it. Would also be really hard to do so if all the characters were killed off, which is another baffling reason for people to be irritated by changes. The fact that certain characters may have survived beings joy to many people’s hearts versus the former being the end result.

Having played 90+ hours of this game, the only way an FFVII remake would have worked was as a multi-part game. I'm amazed at how much the team was able to squeeze out of Midgar alone and expand upon in the remake.

And I 100% agree on the last three chapters being some of the best the game has to offer. It is a non-stop adrenaline-fueled ride that kept me hooked until the very end. Bring on the changes to the story too. These are some of the most recognizable and, to be honest, overused characters in Square Enix's roster. To make them feel new and exciting again coupled with the uncertainty of what lies ahead is something I fully support. ^_^

I think the entire game was a masterpiece, and I LOVED the scene where Elmyra speaks about how she found Aerith. That whole segment and story brought tears to my eyes!

Scissorman821458d ago

I know! I'm glad that Elmyra goes so much more screen time in the remake.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

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...

ravens5221d ago

... 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.

VIK212121d ago (Edited 21d ago )

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

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5221d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5221d ago

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.

Barlos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

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.

Tapani21d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum22d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman22d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim21d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
