#FinalFantasyVII #FF7 #FF7R
In this video Dreamcastguy reviews the Final Fantasy VII FF7 Remake on a PlayStation 4 Pro while showing gameplay of the new story, combat, and side quest mini games and giving it a score.
Final Fantasy VII Remake[a] is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix. The game is a sequel to the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII, largely recreating portions of the original plot and eventually diverging. Square Enix will release the game as a multi-part series, with the first entry released for the PlayStation 4 on April 10, 2020 with timed exclusivity for one year.
Players control mercenary Cloud Strife as he and a group known as AVALANCHE oppose Shinra, a megacorporation, from using the planet's life essence as an energy source. The gameplay combines real-time action with other strategic elements.
Remake was announced following years of fan requests and rumors. Key staff members returned, including character designer Tetsuya Nomura as director and main character designer, director Yoshinori Kitase as producer, writer Kazushige Nojima, and music composer Nobuo Uematsu. They also added content not seen in the original, and redesigned the characters to balance realism and stylization. Final Fantasy VII Remake aims to retell the story of the original Final Fantasy VII. Players control Cloud Strife, a former Shinra soldier who joins the AVALANCHE eco-terrorist group as a mercenary to fight the Shinra Corporation, who have been draining the planet's life energy. The game is a full remake with real-time polygonal graphics, as opposed to the pre-rendered environments of the original.
Exploration and battle mechanics both take place in real-time, like Final Fantasy XV. The game features an altered "Active Time Battle" (ATB) system from the original, which gradually fills up slowly, or can fill faster with attacks. Once it is filled, the player can halt the action and use special abilities such as magic, items, and special moves. The player can also assign these special abilities to shortcut buttons, allowing them to play entirely in real-time without pausing. Each special ability uses up a segment of the ATB bar. The player can also switch between party members at any time. Each party member has their own individual skills, such as Cloud's close-quarters melee attacks and Barret's long-range distance attacks. Players will also be able to use magic and summons, and a Limit Break gauge allows characters to perform more powerful attacks once charged. Producer Yoshinori Kitase stated that while the game has more real-time elements, there would still be strategic elements, such as selecting weapons and magic for each character to wield.
Thanks for all the love and support. I feel like years of youtube videos have led to this moment. You are all the BEST!!
😀
Man the reasons you listed is why i'm not purchasing this. I got bored with FF13\FF15 combat and you said the main issue is pacing and combat. Ill watch people stream it to get a feel for it but i believe this is not for me.
DreamcastGuy excelent review! Love it 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Just my opinion but that Jessie spoiler need to go. Once again just an opinion
@@azuza2525 ya man the combat is a bit trash the camera is horrible during combat 😢
I thought you weren't going to spoil anything in this review but then you revealed something very important about Jesse. I wish I didn't know that!
Ff7 fans: we'd like really pretty upgraded graphics with some story stuff better explained
Square: how about a game called ff7 with the characters but is a different game all together?
Hit dodge magic change character bad design? Boring? Its better than hit square all the time, heal, hit square all the time again and again. Try hard mode with skipping everything sidequest (start new game for lower level). Only then you appreciate everything, including the 'sleep' magic
"Won't contains spoilers"
*proceeds to include unseen footage, and spoils a characters backstory*
Never before seen character's really ?
@@chillhour6155 my first time to the series
Why are you watching any reviews then?
@@Deeplycloseted435 they're reviews.... to help potential customers decide if the want to make the purchase.
Pussy, what kinda of fucking review you want? Just a 10 second video him saying “it’s great” and give it a score, dumbfuck
They should rename this game.. Final Fantasy 7: Midgar Stories
If i could put a title I would go for Final Fantasy 7: Episode Midgar
That sh*t can't be called "final fantasy 7" :v
I had the same though Final Fantasy 7: Midgar
Final Hearts Fantasy Kingdom 7
@Aaron9 nah dont justify this bullshit man.
“No spoilers”....”Now let tell you Jesses entire back story and origin and about her parents”
Yeah.... I was thinking I would be the only one who got pissed
honest truth - in FF7R they stretched the time needed to get to different events in the original 7 by making you have to travel longer distances and do alot of little side quests in between, feels like a hallway simulator again like FF13 although a little better since there are actual towns, but compared to the original game, FF7R is severely lacking. Game is a 7/10 at best.
Original ff7 had you boxed in too lol
I think the key word for this game is "Padding" and not in a good way.
Personally, I didn’t even notice the padding because the levels were pretty fun to play through for the most part.
@@superlombax1561 LOL you really must not have played the original to say that.
@@superlombax1561 same lol
I played the original and I immensely enjoyed the "padding". The pacing feels natural (except maybe for the side quests, but that's why those are optional). In the original, as much as I love it, the pacing is insane. You hop from one location to the next sooo fast. And some characters are just a piece of cardboard, I personally like that Jessie feels like a real person
Worst padding ever. Remake minus elements of og is bad.
How is explaining Jesse's backstory NOT a spoiler.
I'm not actually angry or anything...but this absolutely was a spoiler despite you directly preceding the sentence by saying its not.
This isn't a spoiler or anything but Darth Vader confides in Luke that he's actually his father. What I did there was no different from what you did in this review. Try to be more careful if you ACTUALLY care about reasonably spoiler free reviews.
You could have just as easily said 'this game goes into a detailed subquest to explain Jesse's involvement in the events" and compare how that differs from the original. Nitpick over.
No it would be like watching the film and someone goes oh by the way darth vader was a slave child named anakin it does not impact thr story or gameplay just something nice to know
Haha triggered
@RalDu LMAO
Her back story didn't seem very significant. Her dad works for shinra and he's sick. Wow. There's way bigger spoilers for her if you played the OG
@@sirownzalotgaming3025 Then why have the quest if it's so pointless? Yeah think about it
After watching this review, feel like there are a lot more negative qualities about the game that you elected to gloss over. The main things you criticized the game on was the pacing, long boss battles, and the divisive ending (which I'm glad you thought sucked), but how about how linear the dungeon design is for instance? Every dungeon is basically a glorified tunnel with only the occasional treasure chest veering off slightly to the side. Why was FF13 criticized for this HEAVILY but FF7 remake gets a free pass?
Thank you so much for bringing this up! The lack of in depth criticism of this game is staggering. This game has ALL the same massive issues 13 did, but no one is talking about it. Yay another narrow linear corridor to run down. Fun!
UnderratedSheet it’ll be a lot more open in the next part. As is the original. 🤷🏼♂️
Richard Jackson yay wuhuuu I can’t wait .
I just wish that they wouldn’t charge you 60 bucks for a fucking corridor-run.
@@relaxed_bubble1794 "a fucking corridor-run"? :)))....dude, you clearly haven't played the game and just wanted a new reason to complain about something.
I agree. The combat deserve major critique, as its pretty poor.
I really love how they took what was literally just a single image of a location on the screen in the original that you would run across in seconds, and blew each and every single one of them up into massive sprawling levels. It's insane. I can understand how people may feel its a bit dragged out and even I felt a hint of that, I just couldn't deny my joy of any excuse to spend more time in Midgar.
@Xbdnxnsn Jsndnxnd I respectfully disagree wholeheartedly lol The idea that the dialogue, writing, performances, combat, exploration, and world building, is all "weak"? Well damn dude, I hope you get that GOD TIER game you picture in your head someday. I can't say I envy your standards, rather just enjoy the clearly genuine efforts of the artists that obviously worked very hard on this game. A hell of a lot harder than many other dev studios seem to these days that's for sure. But again, you keep reaching for the moon man. I'm sure games will catch up to your standards someday.
@Xbdnxnsn Jsndnxnd mmmmm... it's just a bit too much arrogance and attitude for me to even like you enough to care about your opinion, frankly. Maybe never being on Twitter just hasn't prepared me for how combative people are online. You can think whatever you like about my standards, you have no idea who I am or what matters to me. Just take it back to Twitter. Not interested.
Great review but for 23 years I wanted a remake of the turn based game I fell in love with not whatever this is now.
"Did I mention I played and completed the original FF7 a BAJILLION times on multiple consoles and I'm really great at it?"
theres NOTHING wrong with the boss fights. these fights were fantastic. 10 to 15 min boss fights were always fantastic
Duece Hunter agreed
And if you use the battle system correctly they don't last that long anyway for the most part.
@@aureateseigneur5317 exactly!
I agree with your score, however, you certainly had more negatives than positives about the game in this video. 9/10 feels weird after hearing all these complaints. I also finished the game and would give it 9-9.5 out of 10. They absolutely exceeded my expectations.
The game is at best a 8/10 on a technical level. But the game itself and how they butchered the story makes its a 3/10. This is not a remake and SQUARE should be sued for marketing it as such.
I'm just in chapter 6 right now and as a fan it's 9.3 for me. Objektively, I would rate it 8.7.
There are some things they could have done better, but the stories is very well told so far.
@@braddl9442 Lol, just because you think the ending was bad does not make the rest of the story bad.
@@braddl9442 you need to know how to differentiate between Remake and Remaster. This game is definitely a remake.
@@HyperLXD this
WARNING! It does contain spoilers! Starts at 9:31, jump to 10:22 to be safe. He says he is gonna give an example and that it isn't a spoiler, but that's false - it actually was a huge spoiler and reveals a side character's backstory which was not in the original. Got nothing against you mr. Dreamcastguy, but that was a shitty move when you stated at the start of the video that you had no spoilers. Downvoted for that.
Rene Hoidal thank you
Honestly it's why I ignored his review of Resident Evil 3 remake! Everyone seemed so damn eager to spoil the newest game when they get it earlier than the rest of us! With the virus going around then many retailers f****** closed that if you have any reservations you are canceling it especially if you pre-order digitally! What is the point of his brutally honest review! All this is going to do is not just spoil people but now give them dread because they can't get their money back! Dreamcastguy really should have took him to mind those people when he made both this in the previous review he had some points do I believe sphere Hunter did it better by not majorly spoiling s***! When she did her own review! Honestly I never liked how companies were blocking people from releasing their reviews until after the game came out but now now I'm starting to appreciate it. Because some people don't seem to understand the concept of don't spoil because they hated it so they decide that everyone else is going to hate it! There are only some exceptions to that the game is b******* anyway so I might as well spoil it for you! And that usually is after the game came out! You don't spoil a game that hasn't released yet even if you hated the story or the gameplay!
Hell it's a good thing I decided to check the comment section won't pausing the video while it's still on an ad! Otherwise I wouldn't have read comments like this one you put down commenter and realize he's doing exactly what he did with as I said the Resident Evil 3 remake, like so many other reviewers minus the one I mentioned did where they decide the spoil everything because they were going through over hyped hate for some f****** reason! Doesn't matter if you got overhyped and they failed to meet your expectations don't spoil a game that hasn't released yet!
Probably considered it not a spoil but he could have rephrased and left the example more vague
That's why they call him the Liecastguy..
Rene Hoidal stfu
You really pulled your punches. I loved this game for the first 6 hours, but by the end I was just waiting for it to be over. You said it yourself - the ending was so utterly terrible you can't even talk about it (in a 30 minute video), the combat was monotonous, and getting from point A to point B was diluted with meaningless filler. I loved the OG with all my heart, but this game, despite all of its aesthetic beauty and incredible soundtrack, was boring to play and had cringeworthy "expansions" to its predecessors' otherwise tight storytelling. I can't even imagine how inaccessible this game is for a first time player
The last part when cloud is on the motorcycle is a pain in the ass!!! POS
Quinton Kappel I’m a first time ff player and I love this game. Mostly because I never found turn based very fun to watch, which in turn, made me not even wanna play the series. 50+ hours in, half way through hard mode, and I’m still enjoying it. Definitely gonna be getting the rest. I’m actually invested in the story, so much that I looked up some stuff and found out that my fave character is gonna die 😢
@@mattL--- Anyone thats grown up with the original hates this remake. because tis not an actual remake. The story is too different. Not even gonna mention the combat.
DargorV I love the combat in this game. Maybe because kingdom hearts was my childhood game so I felt right at home. After playing the second time on hard, I felt there were some parts that were realllllly dragged on though lol but overall I enjoyed the story and I’m interested to see what happens as a first time player. Kinda sucks that the og players don’t like the changes, I don’t really know the changes so I’m not really in the same boat as you guys.
Got to chapter 11 boss fight and found a game breaking bug! Now I'm stuck and only thing I can do is load a save from 10 hours ago. Make sure you do manual saves and don't rely entirely on auto saves!
Day 1 patch?
@DevilKaz Yeah I'm fucking pissed but what can I do. It's not like they're gonna fix the game unless it's a common occurance. Funny thing I Found an "out of bounds" exploit while I was trying to fix my game.
@@shade1788 Don't think so unless same thing keeps happening to other ppl as well.
🤣🤣🤣 dude that was hilarious
@Afterlife is The Future when the ghoul boss grabbed a hold of Cloud my game immediately jumped to a cutscene which I believe was supposed to be shown after the fight was done. After the cutscene my party is placed right under where the ghoul fight took place, and I can see his health bar (at zero health) through the roof. But I can't move anywhere bc my party thinks I'm in battle, so I can't activate those 'nodes' you use to move to ladders etc.
Also, if I "retry from last battle" I can fight the ghoul up to half of his health, when he rearranges the room and disappears. At this time my party is locked inside the room.
This is the first numbered Final Fantasy game where the level cap is not 99 or 100, it is 50. The reason for this is probably because the game ends early in the FF7 story and it wouldn't be correct if the players were too overpowered so early on.
Voice acting debuts of Briana White and Cody Christian
This is the very first 3D Final Fantasy game to be given a remake (not remastered like FF12, FFX, FF8). Final Fantasy 3 and 4 were also given remakes but they were originally 2d games.
Steve Burton was originally going to reprise his role as Cloud Strife for the remake. However, due to his voice not matching a younger version of the character, he was replaced with Cody Christian. His voice over work on the game can be heard in the PSX 2015 trailer.
It's bc you miss 85% from the original.
You have to pay Square 6 times to get one full game.
I'll stick to the discs.
Dude this is an early review, why couldnt you just use trailers and the demo footage for the review? No respect dude, im glad that I turned it off 30 seconds into it.
Yeah I heard that happy console gamer is doing for his review he's only showing stuff from the demo and early trailers
@@Ronin-kk4bt Yea I just watched his, but I JayRpgDerek completely trashed this game XD
He always want to be the first one to review games.
I'm legit waiting for it to finish downloading to play. Been waiting for it to go on sale and ps plus hooked us up this time 🤣🤣
Same, gonna be a 4 hour wait for me till it's done, I'm so hyped! 😃
It takes you four hours to download a game? Jesus, i think mine downloaded in about 5-8 mins
You pay like 40 for a remake, that excludes like 85% from the original. Gratz!
Will you pay it 6 times more, just to get one game that you could finish?
@@Luke.Skywodka Yikes, somebody didn't read the full... actually, any of the comment. They didn't pay for it, and even if they did, their money, their choice; money is meant to be spent is it not?
I felt that when he said u feel relieved after some of the boss fights. It took at least 40 minutes for some of those final bosses
The airbuster was a pain but I didn't mind the boss fights being so long.
40 mins? The longest fight i had was 10 minutes, what where you doing just hacking and slashing?
vincentgraymore is what? I thought this game was on baby mode. I would play though it again on hard mode now, but honestly the game was such a chore to play I had to force myself to finish it the first time. Fucking Square needs to never let Nomura direct anything again. He ruins everything he touches.
13:53 I totally agree with them dragging out certain bits. It sort of reminded me of uncharted, where you travel from A to B, and then just as you get to B you fall off a cliff and have to find another way up.
This sums up the game perfectly.
The combat system should've been more hack in slash.
The fact cloud doesn't have light/heavy/kick attack buttons and a 3 page combo list is unfortunate.
Materia spells would of course either be just the hot link system (summons would be r2 and can be used at any point once per battle or maybe when dmg meter is full) or L1 to bring up command menu for spells/summons/items.
Limit would work similar to spells as part of combo chain.
Kspice9000 nah, I thought the combat system was great. Each enemy was different so taking it down easily required different materia combos or strategy. Helped kept the combat fresh. It’s not a one button spam and battles aren’t as repetitive as other FF games have been.
@@nathanmarkus9823not even as repetitive as OG battles were
They stretched a 4 hour prologue into a 40 hour game. I dont believe any of these positive reviews. The pacing in this game has to be awful. How can you stretch a linear sequence that much and get this much praise?
You’re going against the sheep, watch out.
Watch out. People get pretty pissed if you go against the orthodoxy. How dare you have any criticism of FF7r!
@Ahmad Zubair i need a flooging for being sceptical? I hate moronic sheep like you.
@@edwardben-eboh4787 a normal person blindly accepts everything their told and runs out at buys a game at full price though right?
@@SerbStar2011 So what are they supposed to tell you? Most reviews are overall positive, with many citing potential controversy around certain narrative changes, some pacing issues, and some of the sidequests feeling padded, but overall the game being a great experience. Playtime seems to average around 30-50 hours. I'm sure if they were negative you'd have no hesitation in believing it, so why is it so hard to believe that it might actually be a good game?
I'm about 20 hours in and I just don't have it in me to keep playing. It's soo freakin booring..the game just drags with nothing happening. I guess it seems worse because we all know the major plot points before hand but the whole game feels like when I would write a paper, get done and realize I need it to be 4 pages longer so I just stretch everything out as far as i can. Maybe I will get motivated to finish after a long break but for now I can't play this trash.
I enjoyed the pacing because this was my first time playing FF7. I guess I can understand the hate if you already know what's going to happen.
@@mac1bc I did end up going back and finishing..overall it was really good. I just had to step away at the part where you kept having to move the cranes..but when I came back I played through to the end and I like it. My original feeling still stands on some points, FF7 story is long enough as it is, if they keep drawing it out like this it will take 10 games to finish it.
@@hassan4080 I agree with the dragging it out part. Unless they condense the story it will take forever to make all of the episodes.
You're 20 hours in and it's so boring? How slow did you even play? If you think the game is boring, you should be flying through the game forgoing the side-quests. It took me about 10 hours to get to the abandoned highway, taking all the side-quests but the collectibles that might be really hidden. And in about 20 hours, I was already going to the Shinra building. Not even that, in 10 hours, I already got thrown into about a dozen of bosses and fought some very challenging enemies. I don't know about you but I smell some bad bullshit here.
@@Cassius-it7wf The bullshit you are smelling is your own breath..You have to do all the side quests if you want to fight the Leviathan sim. The game was very boring at parts, you're a pathetic fanboy if you can't admit that. My completion time was about 40 hours, much higher then the 25 some people claim it takes.
My BRUTALLY honest review that BRUTALLY tells you guys my BRUTAL opinion about how BRUTAL I think this game is. Did I mention that I’m going to be BRUTALLY honest?
Smart and Brutally “love” it.
i never knew it was to be split into pieces.. i was looking forward to the chocobo racing... :(
No thank you so much. This was a GENUINELY the most balanced review on this game I've watched. I will not rant, you have said it for me. Thank you for the work you do.
People who don't really care about final fantasy will miss the minigame? More like people who care a lot about the story (which is what final fantasy is meant to be) and the actual happenings of the game, don't usually feel it's necessary to hit boxes around when it contributes nothing to the overall game. Some people, such as myself, care very deeply about final fantasy and the success of this remake, and do not think that seven was the best addition to the series. Thankyou for this informative and spoiler free review. I am playing it after work today and I'm glad to know what I'm walking into
I find this review to be analytical and insightful, rather than "brutally" honest.
This game sounds like a chore. Im playing the original port on PS4 paid 5 dollars and see no reason to spend 60 on this one.
It's not
what a whiner
How does it sound like a chore? I would love to see an explanation. Because of side quests? The thing that is basically side content, and you don't need to do if you don't feel like it?
RPGs are known for side quests dude
You do know that “penultimate “ means “second last” don’t you?
This isn't the first time he's made this mistake, either
That was the cringiest example of trying to use big words to sound smart i think I've witnessed on the internet.
Yes, this! Also hate the way people use crescendo in writing, you don't come to a crescendo as much as a crescendo happens. Its an action word, like Steve ran, swam, jumped, ate, no way he came to a swam.
Happy gaming!
Oops, genuinely did not realize that lol. Thanks for the correction! :P
Came here to leave the same comment lmao
This is not a remake. It's a re-imagining like Tomb Raider on PS3. Or you could potentially call it a potential time traveling sequel.
As someone who played nothing but driving and fighting games when the original was released and so never played it, this is the best explanation of this game I’ve had and by far the best quantification of what the remake has brought to the table.👍🏻
cant have a brutally honest review without spoilers.
christopher graziano fr
Yuppp, spoilers everywhere espc about Jessie part 😡
Absolutely love this game and I agree with a lot of points you made. I am more optimistic about the ending tho.
(Spoiler-ish??)
Hojo’s basement lab where you have to open multiple doors sucks! So padded out. But dang, I love so many other things about this game.
The new musics are horrible, I'd love to have the option to use the original songs.
wasnt the music one of the few things that everyone universally agreed they did great on whether they liked the game or not?
I know he broke your promise by not spoiling stuff but this is the best review I have ever seen
I feel like everything you disliked, is exactly what I hated about FF15. I think I’m gonna have to pass on this one.
This game is basically FF15. They ruined FF7.
@@meestaShin you've clearly never played this game or 15 because this game is a hundred times better than 15.
meestaShin there is literally fucking nothing like ff15 in this game but ok
@@meestaShin I agree. The camera is the worst part. I cant see what I'm doing half the time. After a few hours I was thinking this is the same battle system as 15, and that ended my playthrough dead in its tracks.
Wait till you see the ending. This is way worse than FF15.
I just wish I knew why everyone was liking it so much. I'm 14 hours in and frankly, struggling to find a reason to play. The original was so fast and fun and there's so many dreary quests and things to do and endless chatter and it's all so slow.
I've just finished the Colosseum and that was just enough. It just all feels so padded.
Sure it's gorgeous, but don't care about any of the characters and I really don't care about the meandering and overly padded story. I just want to get back to the original storyline.
it´s just nostaglia and bias, the game wouldn´t be that much picked if it wasn´t named FF7, no one would care for it
@@sakutaro3musik486 This game would be nothing without the wave of attention it got from the quality of FF6 and how much Sony aggressively marketed it.
Idk how far in that is but I am at Chapter 7-8 where you go to Aerith's home and I think I am just done. Too slow, padded, bland. The original was my first PS game in 97 and this is just not up to the quality a "remake" deserves.
You idiots were told what the deal was, people like you can quite clearly never be pleased. I’d consider finding a new hobby where you’re the one who creates instead of having things created for you.
@@gnucompiler i was Smart enough to Not buy this crap. I can still enjoy the original and brought Persona 5 Royal instead wich is a great Game. Must be hard to be a fanboy like you, investing your money in every shitty thing this company makes without being able to reflect, defending everything without being able to reflect and having to play trough Everything they make without questioning. I feel really sorry for you, but in the end it was your decision to be a fanboy, you are missing out in great things
I'm glad it's extremely thicc, and developing character's. People would be complaining if it wasn't. I'm glad the boss fights are extremely long. I can only imagine what Ruby weapon will be like. Super excited.
found the boss length complaint really odd tbh, i'm on the last leg of the game now and every boss fight has felt thrilling, challenging and extremely satisfying. not once did i think "hmm i'm having too much fun, wish this boss only took 5 minutes to beat instead"
His complaint was that he was literally doing the same thing over and over for 30 minutes because the bosses didn't hit very hard and their HP was out the roof. He was saying that some of those bosses just had high HP bars and it was just wittling them down over time with no real thought to the battle. High HP bosses are generally an annoying thing to begin with. A boss that takes a normal amount of time is preferred, OR, a boss that hits like a truck and is hard to get a hit in on, but deals a lot of damage. The length isn't the problem, more the lack of threat combined with the length.
@@jonp1952 The thing is the length of the bosses fight is tied to how efficiently the player played, like look at the first boss Scorpion for instance, most player take 15 minutes beat him the first time, but now players that use the gameplay efficiently can kill him 2 minutes.
@@nesoukkefka1741 I feel like the later bosses are less designed around balance and more designed around throwing as much shit as possible at you, after playing most of the game(I'm right before going into Shinra HQ).
Like there's a fight with 3 Sahagins which aren't even bosses, but their jumps are unblockable, undodgeable(because even using dodge you still get hit by them), and they hit everyone. Those 3 Sahagins, the only way to beat them, is just to outheal and burst them down as quickly as possible, and you 100% have to be at full health. Then you have Reno and Rude. Reno's attacks are much less balanced from when you fight him at the church, as now you can't block hardly any of his attacks, dodging them is difficult, and then enters Rude. You have to kill Reno before the fight enters a more balanced state, but when they're both on the same screen it's just a whirlwind of BS and constant healing. They also took quite a while to beat, especially when you factor in using Steal on such a fight.
Abzu on the other hand is pretty well balanced. His attacks are telegraphed, you can dodge his jump(although I'll admit he landed most of his on me because the window is pretty small), and it's not a big whirlwind of craziness, until he goes all Super Saiyan, at which point it becomes kind of silly, although I didn't have enough time in that part of the fight to learn if there was any counterplay to that. Abzu admittedly though took me quite a while to finally kill. The fight was at least 15 minutes long. Probably closer to 20. That said, I didn't find myself TOO bored with it, because he actually did have enough changeups in the fight for me to not get bored.
Another example of them just throwing as much shit as possible at you is the fight with Beck's Badasses at the colosseum. There are 8 different ones, and all of them can do some sort of status effect on you that makes you unable to perform actions(still haven't figured out what that status effect is since status effects in this game are much less clearly shown than the original). I equipped a Headband on both of my characters and I managed to survive against them without getting hit by that attack but once, and it was much shorter. I don't know if the headband saved me, or if I just happened to get lucky, but that's not a well balanced fight, it was more just them throwing a bunch of crap at me where I had to overpower them rather than play a fight tactically. IF the Headband helped, then that was pre-fight preparation, and the only way I could have won the fight. That's bad design because you 100% have to fail the fight at least once unless you already had Headbands equipped.
@@jonp1952 Ha Sorry will not read for now, I'm currently playing doesn't want to spoil myself, I'll read this when I'll finish the game ^^"
I was actually super intrigued by the ending. I don't think its so much that they outright changed a fundamental plot point in having a certain character apparently survive, but more like there are alternate outcomes/futures and parallel timelines that can be created. I'm curious to see what Square takes the story. Until its all done I can't render a definitive verdict until the story is complete.
I completely agree. You can't really argue that everything from the original wasn't included in this game. They still encounter the same characters and they still end up doing the same thing at the very end, which is leave midgar. They just added a lot of story to it which I think they probably had some in mind for the original, but cut due to tenichal capabilities of the time. I actually enjoyed the entire game, everything for me was perfect.
@@mrmr3963 i like how this game gets me speculating and making theories because of the new elements and has me going back to check on FFVII Universe Lore.
If introducing the idea of parallel timelines and alternate futures to a story that originally didn't have any isn't fundamentally changing it, then I don't know what is. Can't think of a concept more disruptive to a narrative than that.
@@MASJYTDevs literally said they wanted to do this in the original but didn’t have the technology, but go off
@@mindxfuneral I call this the George Lucas syndrome. George lamented how the original SW trilogy didn't come out the way he wanted and the many ideas that were left off the table. Then he spent the next 30 years "fixing it" adding stuff to the movies and lore that nobody liked. SW wasn't him... it was lighting in a bottle, the many people that worked on it who also contributed, coming out at the right moment at the right time etc etc etc. I don't think Kitase, Nojima and Nomura understand that and are doing the same thing.
Worst possible remake they could have done. No one ever said "Wouldn't it be great if Square remade the first few hours of the original and turned it into a fully fledged linear hallway action RPG?" I was genuinely surprised people have accepted this and loved it.
Original ff7 was linear in midgar lol.
@@Faithaven yeah and? What's that got to do with what I said.
My main question is from what I have seen it sometimes REWRITES things from the original. Is this a prominent thing and is it good that it does this or is it bad? Also, was Sephiroth being a true One Winged Angel in FFVII important? I thought that was kind of unnecessary, though the demo showed feathers so now I'm like "Oh god they're making him KH Sephiroth".
Fair enough review, and for the jessie thing most people have already played Final Fantasy 7 many many times and knows when the sector 7 plate falls she dies, I mean she's just a side character and story wise is a disposable character,so really I could not care less about her past when I know she's doomed from the get go,its just a half assed attempt to get some emotion out of the players I guess
Let me save everyone some time and summarize all the TH-cam reviews. This game is great but it’s not perfect. The level of hype this game has means that it will let down everyone in some way or another.
This is the most accurate comment I’ve ever read on this site.
Yeah then you get grubs like Jay rpg who are a serial complainer then a fact driven reviewer.
Is ashame people want to pretend this was going to be a cut copy modern version of ff7. I thought it was clear in the previews alone it was not going to be that.
Most of the remake is great except the acting and story
No game is perfect, this game seems blummin good though. The only issue from the demo for me is the AI of teammates not exactly being able to rely upon. But otherwise, I can see why it's getting 9 and 10 scores.
Yeah, we cant deny that resident evil 3 remake is better than this.
Final fantasy 7: 90% dialogue/cutscenes 10% battling
This. It follows the same pattern: walk 10 paces, dialogue. Walk 10 paces, dialogue.
Then one of the women throws themselves at Cloud / pouts / says something flirty.
I might be cold and dead inside, but I just don't care about Aerith and certainly not Tifa and SERIOUSLY NOT Jessie, but let's keep on throwing those old stereotypes in where the women have to be rescued. :D
if you're complaining about that then idk what to tell you, people don't play JRPG's for their "thrilling combat", they play them for the writing
Jeff Slaughter I didn’t say it was a bad game. I’m in chapter 16 now. There’s just too many cutscenes making the story slow. It is what it is.
Jessie parents work for shinra? Thought this was spoiler free, damn...
I'm sorry my friend but you'll review has a few tonal whip lashes with it my friend. Here I thought you were going to give it a 7.8 or 8.5. Because I think tedious gameplay is not a good basis to make a game.
Your review spends too much time talking about what every one knows and then tells us how to play.maybe the 2nd half of it is different but i quit watching
Dunno man, that wasn’t a 9 review. Sounded more like a 6/7.
Nostalgic bias.
jeff mci have you played? Lol
Lol kids. FF 7 is one of the greatest game of all time for a reason.
Yeah, maybe. But we’re talking about the remake.
@@worawatsr9803 Mostly nostalgia... Its not even the best FF (like, ff6 was way better story wise... And the 3 had a charm like any other, that's why it was the base for a lot of spin off like Bravely default).
It started out good, then just declined fast. The longer it went the more they changed it. Got very repetitive. Long cut scene after cut scene. The last chapter just went right off the rails. Sucks cause it looks amazing.
Who wanted the same game as original? If you did play the original. The original is very cheesy to say the least. This remake is good.
Glad I went to the comments first, because apparently this dude spoils a ton of stuff.
ShadowW0lf1 really he doesn't
He says one sentence about a minor character's back story that's insignificant to the overall plot.
@@sirownzalotgaming3025 This dude slips in gameplay footage yet seen. He should have stuck to trailers and demo footage. This guy is a character I tell ya.
Yeah it really pissed me off. Add spoilers to title or into if you gonna ruin a character story. It's not even a general idea of the quest, he tell the ending reveal. That's fucking bs
He really does... umm the whole Jesse sub plot. I was so pissed
All those bad things people say bad are good changes. Long bosses are better. Longer dungeons are better. Also sephrioth was always at the Shinra building in the original cloud just ain’t see him and it’s a good change because it explains a lot. Besides u see him 4 hours later on the boat and fight a fake ass jenova he makes after he attacks u in the original one anyways so this won’t ruin anything
Wait how is everything great u named huge issues like packed wit filler and bad bosses like how is it a 9 bro that makes no sense.3 hours of a game u hated it lol u hated the ending and it a 9....reevaluate ur scoring lol
Yeah and its funny how at the end he basically says everyone should look past the rough parts because its cool that the game actually came out.
He's a FF fanboy
Well I can nitpick problems in some of the best games ever and they're still 9,5 or 10s. And sometimes the journey is better than the conclusion. I personally got no problem with that. For example, the ending of the God of War is VERY anti climactic but the game is still a 9.5 because of how good it is.
Same goes for a cult hit like Dragon's Dogma, the game has a billion problems and everybody that loves it will tell you to look past it's rough parts because it's a fantastic game.
Nag man the score at the end is just how he feels about the game in general. You can hate parts of something but still like the game overall.
@@cmoney163 no game is a 9.5 or a 10 with big rough parts
I don't think that "penultimate version" means what you think it means...
Come on, if you say there's a giant negative about the game and then refuse to talk about it, that's no good. No, saying 'Oh, I'm going to talk about it in another video in four days' time' is poor.
I had to do that. If I put this huge spoiler in the video this review would get 10 thousand dislikes. IT IS BIG! Not something you can just slip in there.
Looks pretty cool. I'll probably get when it goes on sale.
Its on sale now for 50% off until January 9. Base game is $30 and deluxe version is $40.
I've finished ff7 on ps1, PC, and through ps1 emulator. Got every nook and cranny out of it. I also have the option to over power enemies and bosses. However on this new installment, I can't over power enemies so I need to think first what gear and materia to equip before proceeding. The graphics and gameplay is truly AAA. The best implementation of unreal 4 engine. I'm going to replay this on ps5s integrade.
I am so beyond disappointed with this remake that my blood is boiling. Its like they took all our favorite aspects about actually playing the game and threw it out the window. Leveling up no longer feels gratifying. Honestly after 12 straight ours of game play I feel like I could button mash my way through the entire game without ever switching off cloud. All the other characters feel pretty much useless or lioe they aren't even their unless you switch to them. There seems to be no more open world exploring like in the original where you could train Chocobos and ride them around the world and fight the ultimate and emerald weapons and venture to cosmo canyon. Instead they have made the game 100% linear. Worst of all they want you to pay 60 bucks for 3 games over the next however the fuck many years to experience the new and "improved" ff7 story. Such a disappointment and waste of time. I regret buying ff7. 40+ hours of game play to never even get to leave a city to travel to the next. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love being able to listen to the story instead of read it and I love the improves graphics and the nostalgia is real but at this point I would MUCH rather play the original ff7!
Pretty sure that's why the original exist. If you love that, you can always go back to the original. Just like the resident evil remakes which isn't perfect but I can still go back to the original if I want original stuff. However, I wouldn't pay full price for an incomplete game even a remake like ff7. They should have never price as a full game that's not even completed yet. That's not good business. That's just me though. 😁
dont forget, this is just part 1 - im sure the next one will have the chocobo racing (my fave part too)
@@SixballQ45 There should never have been a whole other game. This should have been the full game
@WhyteLis21 People did not pre-order or look to by this for a new and changed game. They bought it because they are fans of the original game. They took out literally all the things we loved about actually playing FF7 and threw it out the window. No more grinding game play, no more open map exploring for secrets, no more turn style game play, no more using summons like magic, no more unlocking limit breaks, limit breaks reset after EVERY engagement you hardly even see them in this game accept in boss fights and thats if it even last more than a minute or 2. Instead we get part of a game where half the abilities you use either don't reach or miss and you never even leave Midgar for the 40+ hours of game play. The only thing good about this game are the graphics, the cinematic and mostly same plot. "If you love that, you can always go back to the original" is not a valid reason to fuck up the most anticipated remake of our lifetime....by all means its not a bad game but in terms of a remake and comparing it to the original its garbage and is not worth 60 bucks.
@@USMC816 I certainly wasn't waiting for this game because I knew remakes will not beat the originals or satisfy me. It's not suppose to if it was already a great to begin with. People who expecting way too much from remakes like it's their Jesus will surely be disappointed. Now, their planning to remake resident evil 4 too. This is why I don't care too much about remakes regardless of graphics or gameplay. There should a good lesson to be learned for those who keeps wanting remakes in my eyes. 😁
From start of the review: (this review is spoiler free) 2 min later (full of new gameplay) and ....... (Jessie background) he almost talk about the ending lol
Seems like 1 of your complaints is that not all attacks are effective at all times (trying to use Blizzaga as an example). My question is, how is that a bad thing?
you really didn't need to think too hard about using spells in the original. This time? bruh.
Mike The Gamer man it’s a sad day when people complain about having to use their brain for once to actually be strategic
If it's like the old game, you could buy materia to where every party member has the same spells. Not necessary or particularly helpful, but imagine everyone only has Blizzard as their only Magic materia, then they get to this boss. I'm pretty sure not being able to use Blizzard wasn't something SQ-Enix thought "Oh, we should make it impossible to use this particular spell on this particular boss by making him move too quickly". If they wanted to make Blizzard useless against him, they'd make it so that he had immunity to Ice element.
Materia being unusable shouldn't really be a thought process for people, especially if they have to use the MP and an ATB bar to cast it. It's only meant for extra high damage, so unless the enemy's immune to that, it shouldn't necessarily matter whether it hits or not. If a Fire is able to hit, a Blizzard should be able to as well(the only difference is their element), if for example that enemy is neutral to both elements. His complaint was also that some attacks were more useful than others, using Blizzard as a prime example. That means this is more of a ""Blizzard is useless for the most part because it's so slow and most of the enemies are so fast" rather than a "Blizzard is useless against this one particular enemy, but can be useful against others".
@@jonp1952 Ive played the game quite a bit now and blizzard is FAR from useless, lol.
Except he's wrong because Blizzard is one of the best spell sets in the game. Maybe if he had talked about the Air spell set...its not useless but its less useful overall then the Ice Set.
Square basically saying a big “fuck you” for giving us your money with that ending tbh. Lets be honest. They played on nostalgia to deceive us. Cause you know they wouldn’t have bought the game knowing they were going to basically just switch up the plot/story with timeline garbage . Its basically a cop out. The ending gives me no faith in any the final fantasy series as a whole going forward. Square should feel ashamed. And i seriously hope someone comes at them for false marketing/promotion. Because i for one feel ripped off.
I like how final fantasy games are now action RPGs vs turn based, because I like to hit a button and start slashing away instead of going into mini fights which takes much longer.
lee noon yeah why choose when you can do both! I’m sure it would have been more costly to incorporate both systems into the game though?
Imagine a FFX remake, but the whole game is just set on old Zanarkand right before Sin devours it. It's gonna be $60 and 35hrs long.
hushhh they might hear you and start developing it lol
wait till the tenth lmao! it's gonna get weird....
I found FF7 "Remake" disappointing. Once I got over the nostalgia high, I realised I was playing an extremely linear game that I didn't really enjoy. I'll steer clear of the next episodes.
I agree about the ending, which is a shame because throughout the majority of the game, the story is fleshed out more than in the orignal. One criticism I would add is that in battles, the item menu should always be available. I'm fine with needing to build up ATB to do most things, but i got in a few situations where it was impossible to survive a battle because i couldn't do any damage to an enemy to unlock the ability to heal myself and that was annoying. I also disliked how your attacks can be interrupted, but you still lose all the ATB bars the action would have used. Sometimes things like the camera being dodgy make this unavoidable. Also, mid fight cutscenes can cancel your attacks. You carefully execute a plan to stagger an enemy, are just about to unleash hell on them, then a cutscene happens and they are no longer staggered. It's very annoying, and really hurts the strategy aspect of the game.
This wasn't a strategy game in the first place, you just need to play patient and start blocking the right attacks to counter. Hitting certain parts of bosses also vary in how much stagger they build up but this doesn't work in some cases. Operator mode should be used to engage, dodge attacks and build ATB and Punishing mode is used to counter your enemies attacks and build up their stagger meter when you block them as it is well...used for punishing your enemies. I honestly don't wanna spam potions and cures when I am battling as it will make the game too easy and even then it's still too easy cause you can give party members auto cure when they are not active. Playing patient can actually end fights faster instead of blindly attacking enemies and opening yourself up for enemy attacks.
@Fred Rogers Someone is gonna tell you that, "YoU SHouLd UsE YoUr LiMIt BrEaK WHeN tHeY aRE AbOUt tO dIE!!". Well what if I wanted to throw it out for huge damage early on so I can build it back up again for the end of the fight? Also, these phase shift cutscenes fuckin' suck as it prevents you from dishing out damage you want to do when you worked so hard to set up for it and they serve no purpose asides from just hyping a fight up for nostalgia...AT LEAST Darksouls' phase shifts were all real time battle and that you can still dish out damage. To sum it up, if I wanted to play a hack and slash with deep in depth mechanics then I might as well play DMC5
Crip Plays YES, THANK YOU ! I’m at the point frankly disliking the game because of every little things who destroy my game experience. Staggers reset, cut scene, freaking slow walking every two seconde because of scénario. Some boss or some monster’s group whom just destroyed me without any chance to act, and who let me randomly cleaning them in a few second after. I finished the game and I never played the original. As a new comer, the scenario is barely understandable, they’re too much fan service scenario which don’t make sens for me. Now that I understand ( just free playing it) that those 35h are actually 5 hours original game. It’s help a little. But it really doesn’t cure my hatred. It was painful to play and I finish Bloodborn a few week ago god damn
Also, not a big fan of the weapon system. You mostly switch with two weapon depending of what you want to do and that’s it. As for the Materia. The game ask you too many change of them for every fight but never let you prepare yourself because you never k is with who you’ll be able to play or when a cut scene boss fight come to you... if I have to restart the match every time I encounter a new boss, ticks. It’s long and painful. I really thought that they let your Lear by yourself ability once you master them. I was kind of disappointed when I realized I should always change them all the time for my 4 character and there 2/5 different weapon....
I give this a 9/10. My only real gripe was the introduction of Sephiroth way too early. The original game references him a lot, but didn't officially introduce him until Kalm. It adds mystery to the story.
Introducing him so early just seemed like fan service shoved in my face. I know the game as a whole is fan service, but they should have held back just a bit.
Apart from that, it's incredible!
Great video. It's really refreshing to see brutally honest reviews. After all, nothing is perfect.
I really apreciate you being honest about your experience with the boss fights. Most everyone has praised them for their cinimatic high scale presentation but nobodies stopped to critique them. I wont watch your video friday because I dont want spoilers on the ending but as soon as i finish the game I will.
just earned yourself a new subscriber
It just feels...lifeless
This brutally honest review is more positive than I thought. Hmm. If a brutally honest review has so many positives, maybe I'll buy the game after all.
Just remember and 1997 for $60 you got the whole game now here and 2020 it's sold in 3 parts for $60 a piece that's a $180 for the same game that used to be 60... it's cash grab bullshit.
Finally someone qualified to do the review.
@Dreamcustguy resident evil 2 or 3?????
That might be a deal breaker for me. I remember hating final fantasy 13 becuase the dungeons dragged on forever...
yeah. i got this game for my birthday and was so close to the end but just couldn’t finish it because of all the padding. it was boring and stressful and the combat gets annoying and the novelty wears off after 30 hours. just play ff7 OG if you haven’t already it’s a much better game in terms of... everything except for translation
@@zander4529 Can you be more specific? How is the game boring and stressful? I am not arguing with you I am just curious about what you mean.
@@gideondavid30 like dreamguy or whoever said, the padding in the game is just so boring. and there’s a lot of it. it’s stressful when you realize it’s just padding too and want to get to the next story beat.
@@zander4529: boring is an unfortunate understatement. It is numbing and unplayable at times. I don't think there was a single side quest that I enjoyed and the fact that they lock some of the best items in the game behind these crappy side quests is an awful game decision. A few of the additional story sections feel well thought out (the Jesse stuff), but the vast majority feels like unnecessary filler (those stupid kids and their stupid fort).
What a disappointing remake of one of the best games of all time.
@@trevorg7950 nah. just playing the story levels your characters up exactly so the game is balanced, it seems. anyways, those sections are still pretty boring. at least to me. i don’t know if the side quests are worth it because i barely played any of them
"brutally honest review"
**Checks like/dislike ratio**
Oh no
I was wondering why so many dislikes as I was watching expecting it coming from hardcore fans disliking honest criticism but 3/4 in and you can tell it's because the title is not genuine and misleading. This game had more issues than those mentioned here.
Come on man tag spoiler review for people this is a click bait with brutal review should be spoiler review
Dreamcast Guy and honesty is oxymoronic.
I love this game, the long drawn out parts aren't my problem its the bosses. He is right, it does take way too long to fight a boss and on hard mode you can forget it. Hard mode is insane and you only beat that boss if you get lucky from the AI.
Yeah idk why anyone would play this tedious chore of a game a second time through
You could've just said "Jessie gets a much bigger role and a more fleshed out backstory" and just left it at that. In fact, that's all you SHOULD'VE said.
Exactly.....
Absolute joke, this always happens with this guy.. I love his stuff but he takes it way too far.
RIGHT?? He starts off with “there will be absolutely no spoilers” and then goes into specific story details on a brand new side story?? WTF? Explaining gameplay is important but usually spoilers are most relevant with story stuff. Not finishing the video now, already heard something I would’ve rather found out playing on my own...
Yall are kidding me with this, right? All these comments about "spoilers" for some barely-even-a-character to the point that a statement like "Jessie has a family" is considered a spoiler in the first place. Newsflash people that's not "a much bigger role" that's called "filler", desperately trying to pad out 4 hours of actual content

This...isn't a brutally honest review...
SquareEnix sounding more like Shinra nowadays
I really hate this game, waste of goddamn time
Pretty much everyone agrees that ending is godawful. I'm really concerned for part 2 now
@m4rm4r4 the game has released 2 weeks early in some parts of the world so alot of people have played and seen the ending (it was also everywhere on youtube) by time the game officially released and from what I see the vast majority of people that seen it agree that it sucked
Everyone in my circle, including myself, are incredibly excited by the ending and the effects it’ll have on the rest of the parts. I really liked it personally, and I definitely can’t wait to see what they do with it. Thank god Square never lost it’s sense of risk. For better or worse, they never play it easy and always put 110% into something even if it’s a risky move and costs them millions upon millions. FF is the only franchise in gaming right now that has such a huge budget yet still takes enormous risks with itself, and it’s by far the best quality of the series.
@@SuperWisemon I'm all for new things but doing this to a classic such as ff7 is inexcusable why fix something that isn't broken? This is an easy cashgrab if they keep it like the original but im not surprised this is happening because square has never made a good game since the past decade

Trust me it gets MUCH MUCH WORSE. He didn't spoil anything in comparison.
On the point of the long bosses, it seems like you did not Assess all enemies or found the way to exploit their weaknesses. There is definitely a lot of learning to be done in the combat which is great. You can struggle for half an hour (really) or get good at blocking, countering, dodging and get that stagger up in no time to unleash all hell on the boss.
Right? I keep seeing people talking about 20-30 minute boss fights , and that's only ever true if you're being incredibly inefficient.
My only issue with the game was the ending segment really. Everything else felt like it was going in the right direction and following the original FF7. Overall, really good experience and I'm still keen to see what they'll do with the story now.
I never played the og Ff7 this will be my introduction to that world after the remake I do plan on playing the original
Stick to the original bro
The original, despite being old af...is much more atmospheric. Partly due to the japanese rating system "CERO" being much more lax back in the day.
Definitely play the original. It's a different game altogether from this one, and a much better experience imo if you can get over the cartoony graphics (which actually compliment the way the story is presented in that game). I'd even play it before I play the Remake, so that you can appreciate the callbacks and nostalgia moments they specifically put in it - which honestly, are the only *really* good aspects of the game for me.

Just so we are clear for all the pedants, knowing the meaning of a word doesn't make you smarter not does not knowing it make you less smart. It makes you knowledgeable, huge difference.
My number one complaint that honestly makes the game nearly unplayable is the combat ai. Why do I even have party members versus switching characters out during combat? Not like the 2 you aren't directly controlling will do anything other that block in the corner.

The characters all seem different too. Yeah, it’s beautiful for sure, but that’s really it. Why do they need to re-imagine all this new shit? Just remake the freaking original dialogue for dialogue, piece by piece, story for story. That’s all we freaking wanted as players.
only you wanted. definitely a fortnite supporter.
I do have issues on reviews (not just this one) that use the word "complete" to describe this game. The word "complete" (Oxford English definition) means: Something that has ALL the necessary or appropriate parts. To me All Necessary parts include the entire story and characters etc.
@James Chris Having all the parts to one part of an even greater whole does not make something complete. Read the definition again. Do try to keep up, will you?
