GameZone: "The Final Fantasy 7 remake is real, and we can't help but think of all the possibilities for this game. In anticipation of its release, we're putting together the five things we're most excited for."
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.

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.
for new gamers who didn't had the chance to play this more than a decade ago, you have no idea the astronomical task SE got into.
I really hope the best for the remake.
Also the picture with Aeris in it is such a lie. :'(
Can't wait to see the mini games redone.
Like grabbing all the balloons while snowboarding. Instead of popping mysterious balloons, why not collect them and just hand them to a kid at the end in a cut scene. LoL. Never understood that one.
I can't imagine they'll include the snowboarding mini-game. The compilation games are definitely more realistic. It's hard to imagine Cloud whipping out a snowboard from nowhere and arbitrarily popping balloons. The original game could get away with that kind of cartoonish discontinuity, but with the Compilation, the world of VII was made much more realistic and grounded (relatively speaking), so those kinds of videogame-y asides kind of wouldn't fit. I'm not saying those things are bad or anything, but it'd be surreal if they were included in this remake, and I don't think surreal is what SE are aiming for. That said I'm really looking forward to how they handle the whole snowfield / Gaia's Cliff part.
Also Super looking forward to the underwater reactor, the sunken Gelnika with the weird "Unknown" enemies, and the desert prison in Corel. God there's so many more parts I'm looking forward to actually - too many to list here.
Also also, I wonder how they'll handle the Fort Condor section?
Cissnei ( Crisis Core ) should make a brief appearance. :)
