I remember a friend of mine way back in 9th grade who didn’t like turn based combat said “man the story is cool...but just imagine if you can actually move around freely during combat and just fight instead of having to take turns and shit”....Ashton wherever you are...its been 20+ years but you finally got your wish lol.
Personally, i don't like turn based combat, but final fantasy is final fantasy, i'll still play it no matter what.
The remake will make it more fun for sure.
i love turn based. it actually made me worry about this new version that it is gone. but that said, this game is so well put together! only slight issue i have is changing between characters. if you are in a hard battle it is to easy to double tap by accident and end up trying to use magic or special moves with the wrong character. but i know that as soon as im thoroughly accustomed to it that there will not be an issue anymore
i just hope it isnt a million years until the next installment comes out! i am definitely going to buy any and all installments they release. i cannot wait until i can see some of the later moments and how they do them. also, as far as final fantasy as a whole, i fell in love with the series in the very early 90's following the heros of the light through their quest. first rpg i ever played and never looked back!! and there isnt a single one i have not played and beaten several times over, the original ff7 being the most with 10 or more playthroughs. and I gaurentee that even though version is so solid that i will play the old version many more times throughout the course of my life, barring catastrophe. just based on nostalgia alone i keep being drawn back. and i still find things i missed on previous playthroughs!
Press F for Ashton
Did u tell ashton about this?
POV: You're a ps plus member and you just wanna hear how lucky you were with this month
Yeah
imagine playing this masterpiece for free 😭😍❤
@@akiinmoonlight79 its not a masterpiece its just the first 6 hours of the game strecht out to 36 hours so some of the game is yes super cool but the new shit is soo boring
Yes 😂
Yeah when I saw that Final Fantasy VII Remake will be the next free PS PLUS free game I was like: Hell yeah!
"It's a 60 dollar game and I'm happy that it earns the money!"
Me who's getting it for free: Aye, agreed
lol
Still gotta pay for ps plus though so yeah
Is a 60 dollar game that will only keep the story going on ps5 pc and the new xbox. If you have no plans on buying a ps5 and want to play the 2nd half you're screwed
it is not free you have to pay to rent it if you are refering to ps plus
my defntion of renting in this case is something you have to pay monthly for that is a subscription based service
Me: finished game
Also me: let find out if I should buy it
@D1M1T
Joe rogan: "The perfect username doesn't exi.........
The remake is the whole game, right? I mean the whole story from the original?
xnxx tipsycamtoe I don't really get it but thanks anyway, haha.
@@korki3581 not not even close and is actually differant it's a remake with an re imagining which is kind of weird because i imagine for new players you will have 4x the confusion compared to people who played the original who will have 2x confusion at the end.
Korki nope part one it’s not a full remake
Ah yes, let me take a break from playing the game to find out if I should buy it.
Good idea me!
Same
emas
I'm going at a snails pace with this, I want to soak up every ounce of this world
Hahahaha me too 😂
Same while doing sidequests in chapter 14 :P
Camera Tips:
Set the Camera to zoom out during combat in the options. I set it to 3 and you don't get as much struggling with the camera.
Set the switching lock on to the direction buttons so you can use the right thumbstick to move the camera and not switch targets.
ttomato182 thank you!!
Any other setting adjustments I should know about to improve QoL? These are great tips!
@@whiskslim237 That's it for QOL. Glad it helped.
Thanks, camrea ridiculous
And there goes my last real complaint about this remake.
Thanks man!
Bought the game and I'm 15 hours about halfway through the game and the game is great. I recommend it to all, new or returning ff players.
I just finished the original and I'm getting the remake tomorrow in really hyped for it
My biggest problem is size of. Nearly 90 gigs of mem for a third of original game. They are splitting it into multiple games. I did not like the end fight for this. I know it is its own game but they did not fight Sephiroth on the way out of midgar. Few minor annoyances but those are some of my biggest complaints.
Awesome i just got it yesterday and it's installing the data disc files atm XD.
Nice thanks for the advice gonna get this today can't wait to get into this.
Most likely i wont ever play this game.
For me these are usually not a before you buy it’s a “while you wait for it to download” 😂
yah it is a big game 100 gigs
@@supersaiyaman11589 he means he watches this channel videos before downloading from ps plus not before buying, he didn't mean it's a big game 😊
@@arthurmorgan8454 no. He actually meant while he waits for it to download because it's a big game. Lol.
Speak up my man

Final Fantasy 7 - We know you already bought it, but here's a vid to make your purchase feel justified
this!
yep, it was/is a day one purchase ♥️
yepp...
Matthew M your moms a cash grab
@Matthew M no it's not -
why are some people that stupid ???
do you even see the insane production value that was put into this game ?
- breathtaking motion captured graphics
- Iconic, deep reimagined characters
- masterfully done voice acting
- the GODLY Soundtrack !!! (♥️)
- tight/fun/strategic/deep gameplay
- some of the best writting ever
- detailed world/character building
- massive scope
Tips for first play-through
1. Switch characters often in combat. AI party members are super defensive and build atb at a snails pace
2. Swap out materia after it's mastered.
3. If you don't auto upgrade weapons, always grab materia slots first
4. Don't be afraid to sacrifice defense for materia slots
5. Invest in MP/HP up materias, try to get 4 at least to level 2
6. Do the arena battles asap, I don't want to spoil what you get from it, but do it
7. Assess everything
8. Magnify is this game's "All" materia. I only found one so i used it for healing, slot it as soon as you find it because it's infinitely more useful at higher levels
9. You'll find a "pedometer" materia that has no discernible use, slot it immediately
10. Master skills quickly by setting the character you want as the leader, and spam the skill in battle.
And one surprising fact, Barret can make a pretty good Paladin type. One of his weapons has pretty decent magic, with magic up, hp/mp up, provoke, magnify-healing, and revive, he's a great defensive healer, which frees up Cloud and Tifa to focus on what they do best. Give Tifa or Cloud Item Up (I think) materia to back-up heal when necessary and to toss ethers at Barret.
Another tip: Use the walkthrough for materia/weapons. I missed the elemental materia first time around and it sucked not having it for chapters 4-16
Why should I assess everything?
the pedometer always lets you know when there is stranger danger lurking 😂😂
Why is HP/MP up so important?
I love a lot of your comments.
I struggled with camera. I struggled how easy *most* fights are.
I agree, someone told me to play on hard mode. Lol. The fuck. I just wasted my time playing normal and now you want to to run it back again? GTFO.
@@sly.al.6404 Hard mode isn't available until you beat the game...
Camera is a common problem of 3D games. It's difficult to present a world in a realistic, wholesome manner and at the same time keep a pacing proper to what we should concentrate on.
The camera isn’t all that bad. It’s still a fantastic amazing great game that everyone should play!
have you tried the game on hard mode
I didn't pick up when it first came out because I was kind of turned off by the fact that this is only one-third of the full story of the game. I never played the original FF7 but I recently got interested in this game again and bought it for half the price. The game is genuinely good, the characters, the combat, the music and the graphics are amazing, I am having a blast. Definitely worth it :D
Just bought it too! It was a shocker for me that this is a 100g game!! bye bye other games! Hope it's really worth it.
@@johncarldelossantos7345 You wont regret it. I finished the game a couple months ago and sold my copy, But I'm buying it again because of the sale. This time on digital so i wont ever sell it back. From what I remember, the game is amazing so you wont regret it. Its so good I'm buying it again.
@@GameoftheYear-fx4mq hahaha, I am currently playing it now. It's beautiful, cheesy and fun XD.
Gameplay is intense but sometimes disorienting. Still good though. I'm loving it.
@@johncarldelossantos7345 Maybe the shortcuts could help for combat?
Just got it as well on psstore, hands down best jrpg I have ever played and I have already platinumed persona 5 base game and nier automata.
not going to lie ff7 is one of the main reasons i could read when i was young, not a lot of reading done around my house hold
Big.... Facts.
I didnt read a lot of books as a kid either. Most of my reading was from playing story driven games like Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, Earth Bound...

Learned some extensive vocabulary too thanks to this series
First time i play it in Japanese language. Then. I play it on eng
this game is what i was seeing in my head when i played ff7 as a kid
Right!
Well shame that your brain doesn't have great imagination
@@aleksandarmarkovic1013 What are you talking about?
@@aleksandarmarkovic1013 take it you dont like the game?
@@aleksandarmarkovic1013 Lol I think you are lost, buddy
Oh and, fun fact: The Facial animation *CHANGES* depending on what language you use to keep the experience the same. Meaning for example, if you pick the Japanese VA, the facial animation changes. Now that's some detail that's rare in many games.
The only thing which sucks is that they didn't bother to make different Subtitles for different Languages. So you'll have the English Dub Subtitles for every language. Which sucks because there's some meaning in the other languages that isn't in the English Dub. But I'm fine with it. Though it kinda sucks if you compare it to Yakuza Like a Dragon.
PlayStation Plus members, where y’all at?
Yo
Here
I have just finished it and I love it so much
Cant deny it
Hell yeah! Almosy bought the game. Can you imagine XD
I can't hear Barrett talk without hearing rdj in tropic thunder " I'm just a dude playing a dude playing another dude"
That 4th wall break was amazing! Especially when all the other dudes made those faces, and Ben Stiller was just like "what?"
THEKNUCKS69 when I stream it I frequently quote RDJ from tropic thunder 😂😂 survive!
When Cloud fell off at reactor 5. He should have looked over the edge and shouted, "Survive!" 🤣
Its not a remake, this is actually an alternate past timeline that the Sephiroth from the PS1 FF7 has come to after he was defeated by Cloud in Advent Children. The game deviates heavily after Shinra HQ at the end with the time janitors. Also because of this Biggs, Wedge and Jessie dont die.
Now I can't un-hear that...
You know that Sephiroth is the real deal when they even put The One-Winged angel choir in in the intro.
Hello there

This was a game I went into not thinking I’d have as much fun as I did. It’s like something you need in your life but just don’t realize it until you have it
Wanted this game when I was 10 now I'm 25. Don't give up on your dreams kids
STK Some dreams you got....
embrace your dreams and protect your honor as soldier
Wanted this game when I was 10, now I'm 31
Still not the full game so you gotta wait another 12 years
Erik Koehler same, played the first age 10. I’m now nearly 33
Me: Buys game
Also Me: "Let's see why I should buy it again"
Anthony me too lmao
So you can give it to me.
I'm buying it on the pc again whenever that happens.
You can buy the standard version, deluxe, physical, digital.
You can buy the standard version, deluxe, physical, digital.
I can’t believe I’m 34 and am old enough for a remake!!! This game changed my life as well as my friends !! I’m happy to see it still is having an influence today!!
There’s a lot of great remakes otw. Resident Evil 4 otw in a year or two
I’m playing through it WAY too quick, and I honestly didn’t know it was coming in parts lmao. Even after doing all the side quests I’m trying to take breaks so it doesn’t have to end yet
Playing the new one is easier to understand, but playing the old one first let’s you appreciate all of the extra details
It's okay to get to the end new stuff there 😊
Don't worry you're not gonna miss out on much.
I've been doing all side quest before moving on, and I am 50hours in, on chp13, I think.
Normal mode finished in 44h, now finhish hard mode, and reached 89h... love the game, now to master every achivement 100 hours...maybe 😁😎👍
It's genuinely funny at points and the level of character development.... like they actually feel like real people. I'm really enjoying it so far my biggest fear is who knows when the next part comes out
Hopefully next part doesn't take years to get to us.
Hmmmmm probably 2022. Thatll give them 3 years from nov 2019 and character models. Battle system. world build. Finding voice actors. Game engine Etc is already done in part 1 so not starting over from scratch really. Plus developing on ps5 will be faster too. Way faster its easier than ps4
Lord Sephiroth I like this
@@lordsephiroth2029 they started work on part 2 before release of part 1, and the delay of part 1 was said to not have any effect on part 2's development, I'm expecting late 2021 to early 2022 release window myself. Chances are it will be simultanious ps4/ps5 release, I don't think platform is going to be a factor in the games release schedule. It's all developed and running on PC the console releases are essentially just ports of that core project. The PS5 is going to have more power behind it, so that will definitely mean more freedom and wiggle room with optimizations though.
The...
What...?
I definitely had a tear in my eye when I was in the church and heard the music...
Artic Dragon absolutely the same!!!! what a gosh darn perfect reimagining
@@jojipoji2322 Really? You enjoyed the harry potter demenotors? They turn 15 minute plot points into 3 hour ordeals and shovel mind numbingly awful fetch quests at you. How are so many people on board with this? You people are being fed a 10 hour section of the game that's been Frankensteined with contrived nonsense fluff and you're all eating it up, and eagerly awaiting the next 60 dollar retconned mess. Square is cashing in big time.
@@SimonHergott shut up
@@SimonHergott I somewhat agree with you but you take it way too far. The pacing in this game is well done and the added story elements add much more depth to the characters. I just wish I had a full story in one game. It's not the same as RPGs back in the day, but games take much longer to make now. Way more detail, not to mention recording all the voice acting.
Whether or not Square is milking it for all it's worth is irrelevant to me because there is a lot of love being put into this remake. Even just having Nobuo return brings back so much of the original charm. That's not easy to capture but they did a fantastic job. Way more than I expected. Maybe it's not perfect but nothing ever is.
The combat system is lots of fun as well and fully fleshed out. I'm only about 11 hours in but I hope I get a good amount of time to delve into it because it is remarkable. A million times better than FFXIII and FFXIV which felt so pointless to actually play.
@@SimonHergott Dude your just being nit picky and if I recall properly the original game had multiple disc you had to buy because it was so big at the time. So if you want to get real technical it's the same game with WAY MORE content and love put into it.
"Here's a giant boss, go slowly chop at his feet" = every 3rd person fighting game ever.
dragons dogma is the game you wanna play
Dark Souls: Here's a horrifying looking monster. Go stab at its butt.

Remnant is a great game as well. I haven't played it in months cause I'm stuck on the last boss
Yup
yeeeep
@@hangingon fuck in asia we got knack 2 babyyyy
On ps5 playing it now
When I was a kid, I used to constantly restart this game just so I could explore Midgar over and over again. I loved the part where they go to Barrett's bar and used to wish I was in that part of the city. And of course, Aerith's house was amazing too. I never found it, but I heard you could get a key that unlocks the gate to Midgar later in the game after you leave it. Amazing atmosphere.
Isn't it Tifa's bar?
Aaron Quist yes. You find the key buried somewhere if I remember correctly.
@@AlustorMorbus Yeah, it is if I remember correctly.
Talk to a man outside #7 gate who mentions he dropped his key. Visit the foreman at Bone Village and say you're looking for Normal Treasure. Place your hired hands around the top area of the excavation site and set off the blast. They should all point to the Key To Sector 5.
The crazy door noise when you use the key
I am taking my sweet ass time with this game. Taking in all the sights and sounds. Its like if I finish it I have to go back to being an adult again. Hard to explain lol.
Is it better than the disappointment ff15 was?
@@Chris-lz6ci I agree I was also heavily disappointed by FFXV I much preferred the FFXIII trilogy.
@@Chris-lz6ci
> Disappointment
Lmao
I know what you mean. This is the proper way to play instead of the goofs who rush through the game on classic mode, skip the side content then complain it's too short and not a "whole game".
@@Chris-lz6ci I'm loving every moment of it so far. Thank you Square Enix for this gem. I love you guys for this one!
I remade the famous scene with Aerith and I think I nailed it. It will probably take another decade before part 2 comes out. :P

I really enjoyed visiting Jessie’s parents. Being able to experience the upper plate like that was truly engaging
also my favorite part
Hey spoilers dude now I wonder what part two and three will be like it got really intense after the city of Marco (can't remember the name of the city) and I wonder how they are going to reintroduce some of the famous characters will they be part of the main story or side quests like the original
Love how it looks exactly like 'Advent Children'
Looks way better in my opinion
the game looks much better lul
The creators considered using the character models in Advent Children in this game but they thought they looked too dated. So they made brand new ones.
@@Wolfknight16 They couldnt anyway because the poly count of those models are 10x higher than game res models. Either way making it from scratch in zbrush would be the way to go.
It looks nothing like it.
Characters are older in AC and have different designs, plus their personalities have changed.
Two years late to the party but what a party it was. Totally loved the game and frankly I am glad they split it in three parts because that definitely means more playtime for me as there is no way they would expand it so much if they had to fit it in only one game. I am in love with the combat system and even after finishing it there are so many things I haven't really used in battle so I am looking forward to trying out the hard mode which will push me to play smarter.
The game generally forces you to think otherwise you die. In the beginning I used to just attack without caring to block at all and it worked fine mostly, and then reno walked in and paid the price for slacking off. I was killed by the dude so many times its embarrassing really.
The story is unbelievably compelling. I have no nostalgia since never played enough of the original so I knew only the basics but still, you dont need nostalgia to like this story, it's so well written I would be excited every time a cut scene started like I was watching my favorite series. Too bad I didn't have popcorn. Music is amazing. I didnt mind doing any of the side quests and part of the reason was I really wanted to explore the towns and walk around and listen to the npcs while a beautiful score played in the background. My favorite was by far the sector 5 theme. Just beautiful. Overall, I had wanted to play this game for roughly 5 years, ever since I saw one of the early trailers so I was afraid i was going to be disappointed because of my own extremely high expectations. I am happy to say it was worth it. Oh, and it runs beautifully on the ps5. Can't wait for the second instalment.
This looks very awesome. This will be my very first final fantasy game I ever play.
How did you like it?
I just hope it doesn't take 10 years for them to put out the next two games
It's cute that you think they're only going to milk 2 more games out of this.
@@Astraeus.. I mean, the og was split off into 3 disks, I figure the remake being split into 3 games would make sense.
They have been working on part 2 for a while already and are using the same framework so it shouldn't take too long. My guess is we'll get Part 2 mid next year and it'll be released on the current and next gen consoles.
There’ll be a year in between each instalment max. Its probably nearly finished, but instead of releasing the whole thing, they just milk us £60 for each chapter
F that, I'm more worried about how many installments there'll be. Maybe more than 3 discs...
I’m loving every moment , I’m about 10 hours in and the fights are challenging. Great review here , I just don’t think these clips showcase the graphics enough .
That's the thing with games. I believe that you don't truly get the feeling of that experience until it is on your screen and you have that controller and the ability to experience it. Years ago, I remember seeing Advent Children and thinking "wow it would be awesome to play final fantasy VII looking like this!". Now it's finally here. It actually looks better!. But you have all the locations that look almost exactly the same, like the church with the flower bed.
Eait till pc version comes out 15 looked and played so much better i hated the sloppy ps4 version
I think they were probably a bit limited by trying to avoid any major spoilers or anything and I'm guessing that is where a lot of the neater stuff is. I know this is a remake but its a remake of a 23 year old game, for some people its going to be their first time :)
@@Mandrake42 such as myself. I know of the legacy surrounding it and the characters. was first exposed to them through Kingdom Hearts, then Advent Children. But other than the bare bones spoilers, I went in blind without playing the original. I'm almost finished and so far having a blast playing this remake. What they have done is amazing.
He don't want to spoil the game
This is my first FF game and after 33h in I gotta say this game is among my fav game of all times, and that’s something very very rare for me to say
I feel the same, i tryed to play the og again since that was my favourite ff but instead i ended up with the remake again for the 5th time. Can t wait to start it again with intergrade and no save data

well, i yet have to finish that control game we got last month, so there is that.
@@szylaj Yeah im playing that as well.
I’d say it’s worth it. They took the whole midgar portion from 1997 and turned it into a 30+ hour game on its own. Now imagine what’s left after midgar and my god.......
You're looking at another 15 years of waiting or big cuts of content
"Now imagine what’s left after midgar and my god......."
A good question, because Square already used up almost all of the story beats from the original.
Walamonga 1313 exactly bro and this is what’s shitty! Yes I bought the game and yes it is amazing... but after years of waiting we get 30-40hrs if gameplay and only a small portion of the game... this makes me kinda mad and people hate on you for pointing that out.
@Scott Nunn Yeah, because all the stuff that take SE years to complete turns out good right? FFXV? Kingdom Hearts III? Who the hell knows what kind of world we're going to be in 2 or 3 years from now for people to really care.
@@Walamonga1313 it's coming on PS5 and the world is gonna be lit.
The real question is when is the 2nd part going to release
Couple years, most likely after 2021. They already have an asset library and character models ready to go for the most part so its gonna be quicker than the first part. Since during development they all had to learn unreal 4 and create assets from scratch.
They said it was mentioned in the credits.
I was looking for this comment, trying to confirm if they were releasing this game in parts or not, and you answered that. So. With that, i am not going to buy this game yet; i'm going to wait until all the parts are out. Don't care how long that tskes, but i personally think its rather evil to only do parts of a highly anticipated game, so..
2025
complete story tentatively 2037
so i just finished the first reactor. the boss was a huge pain in the dick before i got a hang of the new battle system, but holy hell is this game great. cloud is what i would imagine him to be from my very first run through in 97, barret drips badassery, biggs and jessie are wonderful, jessie has always been my favorite ff7 female, and this game doesnt change that. wedge though. as soon as i heard him start talking and realized he is voiced by the guy who plays badger in breaking bad... holy shit. his awesomeness has skyrocketed based solely in that. and biggs and wedge have always been favorites just based on how many ff games they have appeared in, but this put wedge over the top for me. the camera has been a pain in the ass already, but i can definitely get passed it easily. but its so good imo that i had to stop playing to come rave about it! BUY THIS GAME!!!
I'm really impressed but I think wedge is s bit irrelevant unless he's aimed at twelve year olds.i like Barret and the others.
I was skeptical about the first game only being Midgar, but after finishing it a few hours ago? This is everything I wanted and more. I am so blown away with this game that I can't even believe it. I had high expectations and it shattered them. Especially in the later half. Yeah, don't lie to yourself... You screamed too XD
I think they did a fantastic job with the first installment and now I can't wait for the rest of the remake of my favorite game *inhales* OF ALL TIME! Also, Dem graphics doe!
Kyle Nys I’ve heard the ending is really bad. Haven’t loving the game so far but would you agree? No spoilers, of course.
@@Sam-sn8oy I didn't scream. The game was OK. It dragged. The end was silly as fuck. Beat it and you'll see. They are setting this shit up to milk you like they did with kingdom hearts.
I agree this game blew my expectations out of the water. The music gameplay and story are great. Its like playing OG ff7 with better character development and advent children graphics.
I was skeptical, but ended up absolutely thrilled after I started playing it.
Get out of my head! Those were the exact words i was going to comment.
Have you guys completed it yet? 😂
Joshua Charette
This is the first game in a decade I preordered. I’m glad this lived up to my hype.
Same, so Happy it turned out good
JRKolstad1000 have you actually completed it yet?
Can you imagine playing this version back in 97? My head would've exploded.
aladeez nutz but didnt it kind of feel the same dude?! like this where my imagination took me back then!
@@jojipoji2322 yes yes it is
As I kid I felt like this is how I imagined playing ff7 before
Nope not really. Luckily original gave me good memories.
Stormrider2210 you dare disagree with aladeez nutz. learn your place
I thought the game was incredible.
I can’t wait to play as Red XIII in part 2
I just finished this game and really want part 2 now. I waited to buy this until a sale just because I have never played a Final Fantasy game to the end. I always knew this was a classic so wanted to make it the first one I finish. Some how I managed to not have the story spoiled for me and very glad for that.
I'm ready for them to tear my heart out again in the sequel when they remake all the Cosmo Canyon stuff.
I know hey? I'm going to replay the original on switch.
Cosmo Canyon? More like in part 3 or 4.
That will probably be release like 2030
@@jd9171 I already waited this long for the remake, what's another decade? I want to get Yuffie 😍
Red Snow duuude, right?!?!
Bought it and haven't been disappointed with it so far. I was worried that the fillers would feel off or superflous but they are actually great. They add more to the characters and really connect with them so well. Hats off the SQEX as they made a game with heart and passion.
Come on chrono trigger
I was tempted but the music didn’t grab me.
How will part 2 carry on a save if it’s in a different system?
I’ll get it but I don’t know.
I was looking forward to Shenmue 3 still haven’t got it yet.
Too many corridors. It was never be as good as in my head.
@@mrmagoo-i2l to each his own I guess. The music for me was mixed but great all the same. Mixed in a sense of I know it's classic but at the same time they've remade it to fit the remade world if that makes sense. Almost every piece of music in the game is recognizable and it's been done really well.
Obviously it wouldn't carry over into other systems as with any other game. They've also said that your levels and probably gear won't carry over to a degree as each entry is considered a game of their own.
Also people don't recognize but the entire first act of FF7 on the PS1 was also very linear. Everything goes straight with very little backtracking. I don't know why people say that the FF7 remake is so linear unlike the original when they are basically the same. The only time the original opens up is when you finally leave Midgar.
I'm a big fan of Shenmue but I haven't played the 3rd one.
Ewwww the fillers suck so much...some of it is alright,but most of it is so bad it's embarassing
@a b so almost every major game publisher? Because almost all of them have been doing this. It's just a matter of which you want to spend your money with.
And now it’s free for PS Plus owners! Can’t wait to try it!
I actually didn't see any of those low res textures during my gameplay... everything loaded and rendered perfectly. Weird. The game is amazing and I found it flawless - coming from a long time fan of the FF7 world. Really appreciated how much detail and love that went into this project from Square Enix.
The rendering is more problematic if you constantly run everywhere (like when I was just running through chapters 3,8, and 9 to get the "Dressed to the nines' trophy. But just normally playing the game doesn't effect the rendering too much. Most of the lower res objects are active objects so I'm not too bothered by them, better that then having a 20FPS framerate from the engine having to constantly render.
This game is fking legendary, it was such a good remake.
Exactly goodamn
Let's face it, we all already bought this game. 😆
I have not bought or played it yet cause i don't know how much queer stuf they have adapted and frankly that kind of stuff is what ruined borderlands 3 for me.
I rather use my 60 for something else.
Free on ps plus from march 2nd 😜😂
@@_zur13l_ thank god i alr sold my physical copy few months ago 😂
If I want it that badly, I'll wait to buy it when it's bundled with the second half.
But what about the third final half? The next chapter isn't the final one ya know.
I’ve seen other reviewers say that theirs a LOT of filler content. Which is why I’m either waiting for a Complete Edition or for each part to go on sale for $20 each. I’m not paying $60 for ONE part of a game. Plus...who knows when part 2 is coming out. Games take YEARS to make. Theirs no rush for me to get this right away...I can wait...
the fillers are the sidequests. not the game itself or the main story
Daryl Dixon but paying 60$ each part is ridiculous and not worth 150$ or more so for a game! I will wait as wel
Exactly what I commented.
Daryl Dixon I never played the original final fantasy but I do enjoy games that are fully done and full price. So from what you said it’s worth it due to the time you put in?? I only played ff15 that’s it, so this is all new except buy games, I remember halo 2 days when dlc were 5$ man I miss the old times
I have to honestly say, this is the most fun I've ever had in a single player game in a very long time.
Then you don't play many single player games...
@@beezusHrist or he already played many games and its just his opinion..

You haven't been playing anything lately? Lol Tf?.
nobody survives even one bit Kid!!
Makes me want to play FFX that was my favorite. Apparently that's weird.
ff10 was good 👌
I love FFX
Final Fantasy X is an awesome game, but I just couldn’t get invested in it.
JRPG’s sometimes have a slow beginning and a steep learning curve, and as much as I WANTED to dive right into it, this particular game was hard FOR ME to keep playing.
Guess I never had the right way of experiencing it because I started on PS2 and stopped very abruptly, continued on with the HD Remaster on PlayStation 3 then eventually lost interest. 😔
I got it for the switch its badass I feel like it was ment for that system
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
Know what I mean?
The Battle System is too good, I was initially skeptical on how they would meld the ATB system into real-time action but this game proved me wrong. I love how everything is done on the fly. The summons! I can appreciate how you have to work for the Summons to be made available to call in because in the original game we could just spam summons.
The changes to the story is a bold choice on the writer's part. The "remake" aspect of this game may carry an in-universe connotation that was totally lost on us before the game came out, ensuring canonicity for both versions.
I don't know why they keep putting Tetsuya Nomura in the driver's seat with FF7 titles over the guy who directed 7, Nomura's input was just art design in the original. The original director only had a producer role this time round.
Kitase should’ve got the job. Nomura’s writing is convoluted nonsense. As much as I love Kingdom Hearts, the Storytelling is absolutely shite.
@@BrandydocMeriabuck I second it should have been Kitase. He's one of of the all time great directors. But sadly, Tetsuya's celebrity status won him the role of director.
@@BrandydocMeriabuck yeah and he is bringing that shit to the "remake"
@@BrandydocMeriabuck This is my main gripe with Nomura as well. I can appreciate what he does in terms of game system directions but he should leave the writing aspects to others.
Kitase specifically wanted Nomura to be the director. I think he felt a lot of pressure from the FFXV and just gave Nomura all control this time around
I'm absolutely loving it.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Honeybee Inn scene. Can't believe Square Enix could pull that off. Kudos Square Enix!!!♥️♥️♥️
Went from Chapter 1-6 today and could've kept going. The pacing of the combat, narrative, and character development moments are amazing!
@@jordanbutler6702 Thanks to (due to?) the quarantine I've been blazing through this game. Trust me, the whole Andrea Rhodea skit kinda felt like RuPaul and I could not be any happier!!🌟
Gonna platinum this game in 2 weeks thanks to quarantine
Come on who agrees Madam-M would be amazing if real?
Yo tht part was 🔥 I was like yo GAME OF YEAR LOL
whos here after it became free for ps plus? XD
I thought it was just me struggling to find the enemies in combat. Overall, I do enjoy it and love how they dragged the story out. I still have the old one with all the disc and booklet to this day. And I got it on my phone ☺️ I will always love this FF
Watching this while playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake lol

As a first time FF7 player I absolutely love it. I also love the fact that it's going to be broken up into parts, because that way I have something to look forward to. Almost like a 2nd game. Story is honestly the best and I get the fact that they are expanding on it. Can't wait to get back into it and can't wait for what's to come.
Don’t forget to max level aerith before the end of disk one
Well, that might not happen tho, they will change alot of things.
I really like this game in many ways. However Im kind of dissapointed in the episodic release. Not because I dont understand the reasoning behind it but more because my favorite parts of these types of games are when u get to go out on the adventure in the larger world.
But every episode will be for 60€ or how it will work? i m so confused
@@TheArnau13 Yep, standalone games. Maybe they'll pick up your save data in some way. But expect to pay $180 if you wanna play all 3 as they come out.
@@cucumbra True and I dont mind it since I think each game/episode gives you a full- game experience. Judging from this first one at least.
I just dont see how it can only be 3 episodes if the expand everything else as much as they did midgar. I also pray that they at least let you carry all your equipment over but i fear it may be like the ff13 series where you start over
In some ways the original was episodic. There were some pretty clear cuts there as far as story goes. I am interested in how they manage the open world parts but getting to some cities without story progression is not unlike the original.
Final Fantasy VII Remake: Before You Buy video = "goddamn I need this game"
Dude buy it, definitely worth the money. And don't worry about next gen, a Square big wig already stated that the rest will be released for ps4
@@buttscarlton8925 Source on that one? I love the game, it's really good but I don't remember hearing that. What I'd like to see is a free upgrade to PS5 for those who bought the game.
@@buttscarlton8925 he shouldn't buy it. There is absolutely no reason for them to not have made the full game. The real game us probably 5 to 7 hours long. The rest of the game is inflated. The data size is forty something gigs. This was a cash grab. An awful cash grab.
Cody Simpson that’s a lie lol but okay
@@davidmuller6011 what's a lie? The only thing I got wrong was the amount of data. I guess I was looking at the initial install. It said 40 gigs. I guess that was compressed, because the storage says eighty something gigs. This game has so much forced and unnecessary dialogue. You can have a cut scene walk ten meters and climb a latter and you will have another forty five second dialogue/cutscene. When travelling with aerith the game forces you to walk you can run. This games actual run time is more like eight hours. It's worse than borderlands 3 forced dialogue and follow the NPC shit.
Just bought and I don’t know anything about the series and genre. 👍
If you like a good story, gameplay and visuals, your in for a.real treat. Even the super Nintendo ones are.still some of the greatest games ever! You gunna have ALOt to play during the quarantine! Enjoy and let me know what you think so far!
Johnny Digits I never played the OG version of VII but ever since I bought it I been playing it everyday and the plot is so good! I love it so much. I never got into FF like that I would play it but this... this is a master piece. I also have FFXV but I havnt played it much as of yet and I had it since it launched lol
What's ur thought after a week with the game?
Soo, if I wanna get into the world of Final Fantasy where do I start? Unfortunately I only game on PS4.. so, so far everyone’s been telling me get FF7 remake then play 15?
Just finished the game, and I love it. I literally bought the Kingdom Hearts bundle because I heard Aerith is in there and KH3 has something to do with Noctis. So yeah I’m going to try out XV even though I heard it’s bad.
The punisher mode animation on Cloud is so satisfying
I hated it wasn’t the full game starting off but now that I’ve played it through I can say that it was so worth it. It adds so much to the story and oh the feels so many feels.
Should of discussed how they expanded on the characters of jessie, biggs, and wedge. Jessie is new best girl.
Should of? You're better than that, guy
Nahh...Jessie still has to compete with tifa and aris
Should ov

I totally missed the boat on this back in the day but holy moly this remake looks incredible; this is my christmas veg game
Before you get it free on PSN next month. First-time player here, truly excited.
I remember waiting in line at Electronics Boutique for hours when the original released at midnight
Shane Fowler mine was an Easter gift from my grandmother. And I’m starting the remake today, on Easter for that reason. That and I took tonight off of work 😂
Brad Reed awesome dude do me a favor & order some of your favorite food & vibe out man. Same thing happened to me 3-4 weeks ago when call of duty modern warfare 2 remastered came out. I vividly remember my mom taking me to gamestop on December 24 2009 & waiting in line. Now 12 years later I’m buying it myself it felt weird
Shane Fowler same bro
I’m assuming you’re a fellow Canadian?
I have the original game on PSP. Y'all can hate me but I had an N64 instead of a PS1. But what got me started on FF7 is Crisis Core
Glad they convinced Charlie Sheen to play as Biggs.
I was wondering last night... Is that really him as the voice actor?

Took you long enough go play Final Fantasy 10
I'll wait, a few years, until all episodes are out, put in a bundle on discount, and I'll play them all one after another with less money spent. Thank you!
how they gonna put a game of 86gb in a bundle is beyond me.
I understand this, but DAMN SON! I could never wait another 5-7 years. Over 20 years of waiting is enough for me. This is a great, full length experience.
On one hand i get it, and on another i couldn't wait. Besides, 42 hours in so far at chapter 14 and enjoying the hell out of it. Besides, heard you unlock a hard mode when you beat it on normal, so i'll have more then my moneys worth.
@@EpicLebaneseNerd you are right there: it's beyond you!
The title should be “Final fantasy VII - buy”
For me it was "Final Fantasy VII Remake, preorder the deluxe edition"
Nah, not touching anything where Nomura is writing the story
Aaron Wright Nojima (the writer of the original) is writing the story.
@heeey eeey I liked Crisis Core and Advent Children though, so fillers really aren't gonna hurt me much
Exactly lol
The game was great, and the nostalgia really brought it home. The attention to detail for the game was phenomenal. Went back to play the original, and must say that I really like some of the differences that were made.
My first Final Fantasy game was FFX-2 on PS2 a looong time ago, playing as Yuna and that game was amazing, made me cry at times. Final Fantasy VII Remake is my second Final Fantasy game and I can tell you it is AMAZING. I'm over 70 hours in and I am having lots of fun, doing some side missions, listening to the sweet soundtrack & being surprised at the awesome level of graphics quality present in this game. If you love RPGS, a very well written story, good character development & good combat then you owe yourself to play this game
You should play FFX as well, it’s amazing
Man, I would love a remake in this style of the classic Suikoden 2
I'm a lifelong fan. I even pre-ordered Advent children. Since the 2005 tech demo this is what I've dreamed of. I thought if they could take kingdom hearts combat and put it in the ff7 world it would be amazing. Having Jessie Biggs and wedge have an integral role was amazing. I give it nine out of 10 just because 10 is hard as fukk to get. Last thought, Jessie is amazing and I love her. 👌
Anthony Kretsch Jessie’s background and story was one of my favorite parts that they dived into.
It gets a solid 8 for story, but has too many issues to get more.
luv jessie. I imagine next patch will fix many of the bugs. Actually pretty polished for todays standards of release no?
I love how remake mixes cyberpunk with steampunk, I really hope unlike part on the meticulously designed levels will be actually explorable, like ffxv.
FF7 Remake: Cloud climbing ladders
FF7 AC: Cloud jumping several floors with ease
AC made all of the cast unrealistically OP. Especially Cloud.
I feel like you guys really failed to acknowledge the other *major* elephant in the room: This isn't a faithful remake. They're telling a different story to what was in the original FFVII. For anyone expecting this game to be FFVII but "updated", it's not. It's in a completely different continuation with a significantly different story.
Max M I might have missed something... where did it significantly differ? i mean the ending might be but I feel like this can be interpreted differently in the next part than what people now think
@@bingobongo1615 lol really? they are setting it up for almost another history, they "changed the timeline" you know becausea thats whats "popular" these days, they even show Zack didn´t die, i can go on and on about the things they fucked up and changed
It's a remake not a remaster 🤔
Well this is a *reimagining* not a remake
I think a remake needs to keep the same story as its original and just adds extra content. One good example of an excellent remake is *Resident Evil 1* it stays true to its original and adds the extra content which is Lisa Trevor's origins.
@@ezunino1711 what the hell are you talking about? The parts with Zack was a flashback of when he died. He's even carrying Cloud at the end as he fades away. The whispers were covering Midgar because they weren't going to let him enter since he had to die to keep destiny intact. Him dying = Cloud's journey
I'm over and underwhelmed at the same time by this game
Same coming from the original to this is like damn everything is so good
@heeey eeey You're kidding right? Give some examples?
Thy 72eaper well the entire ending shitting on the original with Nomura garbage is one
@@theOneThatWas "- And you...you're wrong!
- Those who look with clouded eyes see nothing but shadows.

All of that is just offensively bad.
Anna did a Thingy These remakes remind me of the RE Remakes! This one seems to appeal to a lot of people kinda like RE2 Remake,but some people complained about the over the shoulder gameplay. Now we have FF7 Remake which ditches the turn based gameplay(thank GOD!) and brings a faster action gameplay that’s even better than FF15 and faster fast travel?! Turn based games are good and I played a number of them,but sometimes you just want to hack through enemies to progress! This game gives you that! It strangely reminds you of RE2 Remake,because it gives fans what they want while compensating for an old gameplay style. However RE3 Remake came out recently and was more like the original,except some content was cut,and ideas were thrown out the window, for a short ,but sweet experience! People were very disappointed with it,because it didn’t fully live up to the RE2 Remake! RE3 originally wasn’t the better game, which made Capcom think that a remake for it
had little value,so they kinda ditched the effort ,and made a lot of people disappointed, which is a shame! There are RE games still to remake and make better ,and possibly they may end up redoing RE3 Remake as a result,but boy what a shame! Square Enix however, knows how much people love FF7,so they’ll probably continue the next two games strong!
I went to this girls house when i was 15. She was playing FF7 and wouldnt leave untill she found Knights of the Round. I fell in love with her
I really love this game is thrilling and exciting. New things all the time. It was fun fighting on motorcycle. Having annoying bosses where you figure out how to win it. I bought the game on sale and I didn't sleep and now I'm at work. It gave me the trills I used to have with games.
I don't think a "Before You Buy" counts for this one...
Should be titled "After You Buy" :)
Haha first time i saw that joke on this channel ! How did you came up with that ?!
Or perhaps, "What DID I just buy?!". Also, "It's about GODDAMN time! Let's confirm what you already know you bought."
Most of us mentally pre-ordered the very ASSUMPTION that there'd be sequels and remakes two decades ago. Squeenix has been pure molasses in terms of giving fans what they obviously wanted in regards to THIS game. I nearly died from natural causes waiting for it. Seriously...I'm 46 and I would have settled for a FF7 with "sprites" right now if that was what FINALLY came out.
Finally Fantasy VII...yes...finally fucking fantasy seven!!! ;) Great timing with the quarantine, though!
Not really
I agree with it being a parted series. Shows they will give each piece of the story some expansive love. I think they have been very clear on why they segmented it. But even if they weren’t, the quality makes sense. You don’t want to cram good quality into a set amount of memory. Can’t wait to play my copy.
the only problem is how many parts will we have to buy to get the full story.
Louis-Marcel Otsamba
Hopefully it's just an update that requires X amount of Gigs, or people are gonna be pissed.
And what if it's 5 parts long or something? Not gonna lie, that could really hurt my wallet if each part costs $60, making like,$300 for the whole game.
(I'd probably still be a sucker and buy them though)
Look it’s a great game. But I worry for it’s economical future
@@crisstrider8857 We already know it isn't gonna be that. Future parts will be full priced sequels.
PS plus member here and still watching this to see if it's worth my time if not the money... 100% convinced now
This is game genuinely made me appreciate the support tower sequence and the characters with it a lot more then the original game. The character development and overall feel of each and every one of them just really touches your heart. You tend to grow more attached to them the more you play.
This is one of the reasons I bought a PS1 back in the day. I’m still playing but I love to see reviews even though I already have it. Your not the only one going crazy Jake! Lol!
