FF7 Remake VS FFXV

[DemosKratos]

Which one is better for you ?

Different strokes for different folks.

I personally prefer FF7R, because of the music, characters, story, setting, combat and materia system.

The open world of FFXV is really cool, and I do like the immersive side activities and cruising around in the car, but I can't stand almost everything else about the game, including the combat.

They're both worth playing, and they're both good for different reasons. Which one is better completely depends on the type of player and what they are looking to get out of the game.

That's a weird question..

They are two completely different games with two completely different stories and settings along with two completely different combat mechanics.

FFXV is way too short though. Probably the shortest story out of all the FF games in the franchise.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is as the title suggest, a remake of the 1997 Final Fantasy VII game and it is pretty amazing, except from the fact that it is heavily overpriced and partitioned into different parts or 'episodes', which i honestly don't like. It's a bit scummy, but the story and game so far is pretty amazing, as i said.

For me personally, any game with long, deep and engaging stories is worth it for me, and knowing the story from the original FF VII, the remake is definitely the better option.

One thing i liked in FFXV was the music CD system with all the songs from other FF games and the MP3 player you could eventually buy ingame.

I did enjoy that aspect, but ironically it's the only part of the game's music I actually remember... (oh besides the battle theme, which I think reminded me of Chrono Trigger or something, or maybe that was FFXIII)

Edit: Just listened to the battle theme. It has this part in it that kind of reminds me of the James Bond theme, which I think is what I was thinking of. FFXIII's battle theme is the one that reminded me of CT.

I think I do need to give it another try, because it does genuinely seem like SE tried to make a great game there, but I am just not in a rush to go back to it anytime soon because it's not really what I look for in an FF game.

I definitely prefer 7R over 15. Was not a fan of 13 nor 15 at all.

I hope FF XV gets some love like FF VII got. More characters to travel with for 1.

Alot of players say the ending isnt that great to? Maybe add multiple endings?

Also i think some say the last part of the game is really corridor and ruins the open world, maybe add some off ramps to go exploring again?

@OP Depends what you're after.

XV if you like action combat and missed the overworld from older FF titles as it has an open world to explore with giant beasts to kill and side activities like fishing, chocobos, etc.

7R if you have nostalgia for the setting and characters of FF7 but also like action combat. My issue with the Remake Trilogy and now FF16 is that they won't go back to the overworld or instead go open world with them, the remake trilogy in terms of world is designed like X and XIII, and from what i read 16's "world" is going to be the same as in SoP, just s stage select screen.

FF XV was good and sold well but like VIII there were too many people loudly screaming that it was ♥♥♥♥ so square won't do anything worthwhile with it again.

[Katitoff]

7r hands down.
XV had a peculiar perk of having multiplayer mode, but while combat system was a spectacle, it wasn't really all that good, plus all the cut content that was removed permanently or put back later as episodes is very eh thing to do.

I had fun playing XV, but I have a blast playing VIIr.

Also, different themes.

7 is about fighting against fate, 15 is about being forced to follow it, no deviation allowed, only acceptance, going for both, protagonist and antagonist, both tried to fight against predestined fate, both failed.

[YuffieMorphHim]

Neither, nor.

You can compare everything, but it is like comparing apples and pears.

[LordOfTheBread]

FF15 is the worse story I ever expwerienced in a Final Fantasy, it is all over the place.

FF7R is still sopmewhat teh story of FF7, which is one of the strongest stories in FF whith 5, so it is already far suiperior. Characters are also way more endeeringh in this vs FF15.

Final Fantasy XV is not a game i can go back to and play again, i've tried multiple times but i was only able to play it back then on the PS4 where i got Platinum, but Vii Remake i can play more times, which already happened and doesn't feel like i'm forcing myself to play it like idid with XV.

XV world feels empty and isn't even that big to begin with when it comes to where we can actually go, so for an open world game isn't that great.

[Flippy]

FF XV is a very up to date game, and with games like Skyrim from 2011 getting massive content additions and be re-released like 9 times maybe FF XV gets more additions as well. There already have been upgrades for FF XV already but very limited characters to travel with and all the things mentioned above hold it back.

What happens with FF VII Remake part 2 is very interesting as well.

I hated ffxv honestly, so much so that I haven't even finished it felt like a bad single player mmo to me. As for ff7r, its a solid game, however its not without issues, the game feels more like an interactive movie than an actual game, the combat is fun and stuff but there's not nearly enough of it, also you're always on a corridor which feels annoyingly restrictive and the amount of forced animation interactions is straight up annoying, by the end I simply stopped wanting to check chests for loot. That said, the story is pretty cool up until the last stretch of the game, it gets cranked to 11 out of nowhere and it'd probably leave newcommers lost (those who played the OG game might appreciate it more). Also, the censorship in this game was disappointing to say the least, the OG game had some very grim scenes, that's gone here, so much so that people getting stabbed simply doesn't land the same sort of impact and that's taking into account the game is MUCH more detailed this time around.

ffxv was great tho riding with your bros and fighting with them was rlly fun plus the interactions u can have with him and the fishing minigame was great too i guess so idk why ppl hate on the game
