Crazy that splitting a medium-length game into 3 massive parts isn’t the right way to remake a game 🙄 is there anyone that hasn’t lost interest by now?
Yeah, I was decently interested in it until I found out the whole game won’t actually exist for years. Maybe I’ll get the bundle at a deep discount 8 years from now, assuming I even remember it exists.
Same, I was hella excited for this remake. FF7 was a mind-blowing experience for me as a child. But I want to play through the whole story and I had forgotten for years that this game existed until seeing this post.
Unfortunately you need to forget about it for another number of years. As only two of the three parts are out. Part two took them four years after part one, so safe to guess the same for part three.
Also, the names are exceedingly confusing:
FF7 Part 1 is named: Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020)
FF7 Part 1 Enhanced is named: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (2021)
FF7 Part 2 is named: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2024)
If their goal is to get people to completely check out due to long, long release schedules and confusing naming, they are succeeding.
So the gimmick in the 7 remakes is that they aren’t a remake at all, they are a weird alternate reality spin-off thing that revisits the same characters and locations. I mean, mild spoilers for a four year old game you haven’t played at least partially because you didn’t know this.
The way they presented this was very weird and they tried to split the difference between still saying it’s all a remake but then hinting at it not being a remake sometimes slightly.
My biggest problem with these is that combat feels laggy and weird and I would much prefer a proper turn based RPG in the first place, but seeing the comments here is a bit of an eye opener about how it was all perceived.
I bought this expecting an updated ff7 with better graphics and quality of life improvements. I ended up with a shitty dragons age clone, so I refunded it immediately. Not even going to buy it again if it’s on sale.
I for one am glad they did it. It’s breathed so much more life into the world in doing so. OG is a great game but I’ve been enjoying the remakes way more. And FFVII OG is my favourite RPG and one of the first games I ever played, I used to replay it every other year.

Part 2 may as well not be out. I’ve forgotten its existence and will continue to do so until it’s on PC. Like any other game. Fuck your exclusivity.
I do wonder how much of an uptick in sales the first two games will receive once the third is done.
