EuroGamer: "The original hyperbole of the experience still dazzles. As the gaming world marvelled at a new 3D dawn, Final Fantasy 7's stentorian soundtrack, epic summoning spells and soaring storyline seemed to draw itself up to the huge potential of disc-based games and 3D worlds. Today, those achievements stand, as does the memorable geography of the place. From the undulating peaks that can be circumvented in an airship to underwater caverns, explorable only via submarine, Final Fantasy 7's universe is as deep as it is broad - and as unforgettable as it is divisive."
Nearly 27 years after the original game's release, Final Fantasy 7 superfan Jamie Colliver has finished his magnum opus: A shot-for-shot remake of the original PlayStation 1 game, created entirely via LittleBigPlanet 2. Colliver's remake reimagines the original game as a platformer, with every scene, every location, every line of dialogue, and every song from the game's OST painstakingly implemented .
He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.
ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit

No mention of fixing the audio issues the dialogue audio is too low this has been reported many times on social media the volume has to be turned up and music has to be lowered to hear the characters properly :(
I have a question as someone who is considering buying the game soon. Is this a fixable issue? Can you just lower the volume for music and sound effects and keep dialog at default?
yes, it is no issue at all. Just go into settings. Do you have already played the first Remake or the OG?
There are a few youtube videos and reddit tips with some tips on fixing the sound issues but sadly they didnt work for me
@Babadook7 There are a few videos on youtube with tips on how to fix the dialogue audio this but sadly they didnt work for me. There is an option to lower the music and sfx and keep the dialogue audio at 10 but you have to keep the volume up high (well for my TV I do) but when you are in battles and cutscenes the audio is higher so you have to adjust the audio again.
@shadowT The audio issues doesnt affect everyone there are some people on reddit complaining about the audio and there are other people saying they dont have any issues at all. I think it depends on the TV I have a Samsung QLED 4K and FF7 Rebirth is the only game I have audio issues with.
Thanks for the answers all.
@Shadow yeah I have the Remake and finished it and loved it (loved the OG also back in the day). My understanding is this is even better than Remake.
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.
9/10 IMO but if the graphics were updated then it would be a 10 out of 10 for sure
Playin it on my vita right now!
How many times does this game need to be reviewed?
^^^^That's the only thing you need to read. =)
I have fallen back into love with jrpg's after getting a little burned out (didnt help that there was jack shit for a few years). Xenoblade, Kingdom Hearts DDD, The Last Story, and Tales of Graces F all in a short time frame. Xenoblade made me remember the awe of a massive world and epic sci-fi saga. The feel of knowing i was embarking on a daunting 100+ hour journey. The Last Story gave me the beautiful scenery (stargazers tower) and the romance ive missed since FFX. Kingdom Hearts gave me an overly complex nonsensical story that will take 3 more side games to explain (and plenty of zippers!). I popped in Lost Odyssey after none of these (despite how amazing they are) scratched the itch that games like classic FF's scratched. OMG its still one of the best traditional jrpg's ive ever played. I forgot how utterly beautiful the soundtrack was and the intro was the best intro of any game ever. FF needs to go back to the 7-10 days. Il have to settle for replaying this game on my vita for now and Lost Odyssey on 360. Hopefully Bravely Default is awesome and gets localised along with Type-0. Come on square!!!
