   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets start from the beginning.
   The combat is amazing and really a crazy good mix between action and turn based. It also is challenging in some places and u get better at it over time.
   The music is the best you can find in a game out there. Seriously from town themes to boss themes it has everything u possibly want.
   The visuals are astounding and i dare say some of the best, if not the best we have seen(excluding some minor pixelations and bugs found by some people, myself included on rare occasions).
   Now to the story and characters. The characters are really well executed both on a voice-acting standpoint and a development standpoint and i found myself really caring for them.
   The ENDING which a lot of people hate because they dont understand is quite simple actually. They defeat the fate,aka og plotline and that way they open up possibilities for new things in the next installments. We cant be sure if biggs is alive or if zack is alive because we have no clear context. I think zack is dead cause if he is alive we wouldnt have this story to begin with, and also i think biggs is alive in an alternate timeline and is shown so we can understand the meaning of beating fate.
   
   All in all i think up until the fate boss fight the game is a clear 10/10. i personally like the ending so i give the overall game a 10/10 but i can see how this ending left some people wondering. But not the extreme so they give it like a 5 or below, thats unaxeptable and totally biased. Also lets get this straight. A remake is the same core game done differently so they didnt "false advertise". If they would call it Final Fantasy VII or Final Fantasy VII Remaster then i would agree. But they didnt. I myself never played the original but i have some knowledge on the characters and knew about zack etc. So as a new player knowing the basis of the originals plot line i was pleasantly surprised and cant see how someone would be mad at this masterpiece. 10/10… Expand

The remake is the first portion of the original game due to how big the original game was. The developers really wanted to add to the experience that's why they've added so much more lore and events!
   
   The Remake has genuinely improved on the original by fleshing out the story and the characters especially! The music is something else too... some of the best arrangement I've heard in a long time!… Expand

   The main characters, and the additional play time given to character development, are fantastic. The music is pretty great (not all), there are many really nice looking areas in the game, and I enjoyed the additional customization.
   
   When the game does stick to expanding upon the main story/characters, it is absolutely fantastic... This includes side characters like Jessie. However, there were times I found myself asking when a certain part of the game was going to end so I could get back to the more interesting main story. While the pace of the game wasn't a deal breaker by any means, it was certainly noticeable and it would be nice if developers didn't feel the need to artificially inflate play time.
   
   All in all, I would definitely recommend.… Expand

The visuals are impressive and the character moments are well written and expertly animated. The environments are full of ingenious details, with plenty of delightful voice acting. It was a challenge in itself to structure a complete experience from the introductory sequence, and the developers achieved it.
   
   However, there seems to be a noteworthy difference in direction between the original concept from Hironobu Sakaguchi, and the new vision from Tetsuya Nomura and Motomu Toriyama. The gloomy and foreboding mood has given way to a more dramatic and eager pitch reminiscent of other entries in the series. The central theme of loss is somewhat diluted amidst the everyday side content, and the convoluted changes to the main plot, while surprising, ultimately lean toward a more generic story. The gameplay elements are varied and entertaining, but also less effective at conveying the atmosphere, with a very linear pacing and emphasis on busywork.
   
   All in all, this is a refreshing return to the universe which provides beautiful vignettes and flavorful if less focused additions to the context. It certainly has its own charm, but it will not haunt me as much as the original. The meta-narrative implications could be notably improved by what comes in the next part, but at this point, they do not quite stand on their own. Suffice it to say that it is one of the most accomplished games from Square Enix in recent memories.… Expand
