Final Fantasy VII Remake generated equal amounts of hype and controversy. The game has been around for a long time, giving players plenty of time to discuss whether they want to pay $ 60 for just part of the story. After all, this version is limited to only the first adventures in Midgar. Despite all the love for the original Final Fantasy VII, the big question remains: is the remake worth it?
The answer is an absolute “yes”. Square Enix has transformed what could have been a glorified remaster into something new and exciting. The game is great for those who have played the original, but is surprisingly suitable for newcomers. What makes this game so great? Our full review has all the answers.
Dynamic combat
Combat is by far the biggest change in the remake. The original game had characters act when their Active Time Battle (ATB) gauge filled up and virtually every part alternated until the battle was over. As a player, you could just sit back and plan your next attacks at your leisure.
In the remake, the default combat is fully dynamic. Run into three-dimensional spaces and hit your enemies with standard attacks. These fill your ATB gauges, allowing you to use items, abilities, magic, and your deadly limit breaks.
It may seem too fast, but time slows down to a crawl when the command button is pressed. This allows you to plan strategic attacks, which means the combat doesn’t feel like a great “hack and slash”. And you will have to balance different attacks and positions to “stagger” the enemies. This puts them in a state where they take extra damage.
If it sounds overwhelming, or you just want the new game to play like the original, select classic mode. In this mode, the game controls all combat movements and attacks. You can just relax and select the right special attacks and targets as you see fit.
