This remake of a legendary RPG finds an impressive equilibrium between its past and its present, crafting a distinctive world and exciting combat system that feel modern.
Square Enix has filed trademarks for the Shinra logo, The First Soldier, and Ever Crisis but all I hear is "we're dangling the Crisis Core carrot in front of you."
With its remake of Final Fantasy VII, Square Enix pulled of a seemingly impossible feat: It put a fresh spin on the classic story and characters, all while completely reinventing the gameplay for modern audiences.
The game's producer and co-director elaborate on their goals and decisions during development, as well as how they hoped fans would respond to that mysterious ending.
Don’t be confused by the bad-faith argument that this remake is fundamentally incomplete and therefore not worth playing, because you would be cheating yourself out of one of the most interesting games of the year.
Does Final Fantasy VII Remake have a new game plus? Does it have any post-game content? The game addresses both of those concerns with a single clever stroke – but in short, the answer on both fronts is “yes."
