Final Fantasy 7 Remake is the latest remake and revamp for the amazing Final Fantasy 7 game. What makes it stand out is that this one is trying to retain the story of Cloud strife as he tries to take the Shinra megacorporation and Sephiroth. What follows is an action-packed and very intense experience where you have to use all your power and commitment as you try to become the best and eliminate all your enemies in a very fun and creative manner.
The gameplay is trying to combine real time action with turn based ideas while also making it very impressive and truly appealing at the same time. This is one of the major Final Fantasy stories that people have wanted to see come back to life and it really is an extraordinary achievement. Unlike other remakes, this one is actually built from the ground up, it comes with full polygonal graphics and that makes it incredibly detailed and visually stunning. It’s really showing off the true value of modern graphics while also making the game experience super interesting and quite seamless too. That shows the unique values and great qualities and it pushes the boundaries in ways you would not imagine.
Based on the gameplay videos released until now it seems that they are using a real time battle system that’s very similar to the Kingdom Hearts series. You can easily control Cloud or any of the allies and attack enemies. Switching is possible, so you have some interesting choices and mechanics that you can play with as you go along.
You still have the strategic elements you want in a game like this, like selecting magic and weapons for every character and so on. You will get all the cool experiences and features you expect while also accessing some new cool stuff too. So this is a great blend between the old stuff while also revamping the gameplay a bit to support the new play style and graphical fidelity.
The active time battle gauge will fill up slowly and you will be able to cast all sorts of special moves, use specific items or even engage in magic attacks. This definitely keeps the game fresh and interesting while also pushing the boundaries and making things more rewarding and fun as you go along. It really helps a lot with the entire experience and the gameplay does become better and better as you play because of that.
Overall, the Final Fantasy 7 Remake seems like an amazing experience. They are trying to release it in episodes, mainly because it’s a huge undertaking to share it all at once. And there are other FF remakes in the works too, so this actually makes a whole lot of sense. That being said, if you are a fan of this type of games you will find the Final Fantasy 7 Remake to be extremely fun and unique at the same time, certainly worth the effort and super enjoyable too. That alone makes it an exciting title you do not want to miss at all.
