Final Fantasy VII (Xbox One) Review | In The Game

In The Game: "Who is this release for? Too little has been improved to justify a purchase for old fans. For the new generation, or just gamers who have never played it, this Final Fantasy is not very accessible."

I strongly disagree with this review

[Cyb3r]

I agree with you disagreeing

I agree with your agreeing to his disagreeing.

These reviews seem to think they have to add something new to warrant a good score, if not they just stamp a mediocre score on to it.

Whilst new content is always appreciated it, the fact they don't add new content doesn't mean it's a bad game video game journalists -_-

From his point of view whats the point? This game might be for less than 1% of the xbox fanbase... even if he gave it a 10 it wouldnt have mattered much

I'm guessing that whoever wrote this wasn't even alive when FFVII was originally released.

[paintedgamer1984]

He probably wasnt but that doesnt make his qualms any different or less important. He makes valid points. This is my fav ff game and i cant even get past the circle, triangle, square models and everything else that has not aged well. Great if you want to disagree but ask any gamer born after 1995 (prob 75% of gamers gaming today) what they think about ff7 and i gurantee most will think this way simply off how it looks, forget how it plays. And as sad as it is, those are the gamers these gamers are catering to. Not the hard core

I actually don't know what your comment is saying. It kind of sounds like an admission that FF7 doesn't hold up so well without nostalgia doing some serious work.

It's worth noting that FF7 came out the better part of 22 years ago (over in Japan). There is a steadily growing population of legal adults that totally missed the PS1 and probably even a good chunk of the PS2 era. They're buying games now, and especially with the FF7 remake in the works, their views on what did or didn't work in FF7 are just as important as those of nostalgic fans since their sales are also on the line going forward.

I can't read this but isn't it just FFVII playing in an emulated state?

[Pickledpepper]

Love this game. I'm about half way through, just got knights of the round summons. If they make the remake a hack n slash and not turn base I will be skipping it.

Games looks like shit in any modern TV, why didn't Square added proper scanlines is beyond me.

[ReVibe]

Written by someone playing VII in 2019. A product of the "silver-spoon fed" generation of gamers that expects everything they play to have all the conveniences of modern titles.

Not very accessible... is he even aware of the built-in emucheats? Anyone new to the game can easily grasp it in a couple hours with cheats if they're having that much trouble.

Ugh.
