Remasters have become a significant part of the games that are released each year and with a lot of fans embracing them with arms wide open, there isn't much sign of those slowing down anytime soon. It's not just people who haven't played these games before that are picking up remasters, it's also people who want to rediscover them on a new generation.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.

I'm sure most expected this though given Sonys previous ties to the IP.
I can't wait until the PC version . Thank the 12 this is only a PlayStation first title. I immensely enjoyed the game on PC way back when it was released for Windows back in 1998.
I absolutely adored the PS1 trio of FF VII, VIII, and IX. Any RPG fan owes it to themselves to experience those games.
I am happy new players will experience FF VII, and it seems older fans are largely very excited to replay this updated version. I am personally a bit disappointed, though.
A few years ago, Wada was clear that they would not look to release a remake of VII until they released a game that exceeded it. I respected that. The consensus is clear that the series has lost a lot of what (and who) made it great over recent titles. I wanted them to give us a new title that was at least as great as the FF of old, if not better.
I understand that this release will make a ton of money. Despite the rocky development schedules we've been seeing lately, and the strange info coming out about Nomura's role in this remake, I think it will be a solid title, and they will do it right.
But truthfully, I really hope XV is a better game. I don't mean to come down on this remake, but new is always better to me. Simply put, the old philosophy of trying to best their previous efforts was the better position for life-long FF fans, in my opinion.
