Educate me please. How to play FF7 remake

[Grecco]

I just finished FF15, and I want to play FF7 remake, but the only game I find on steam is integrade. Is it the same game? Or is integrade Remake + a DLC? Or it is different from Final Fantasy 7 Remake? Let me know. I want to know where to start besides the OG FF7(ps1).

It's the Remake + DLC.

Ugh, not sure if you should play the og first. Remake might confuse you if youre used to the og. Its only kinda a remake until the last 3 chapters, where it deviates heavily from the og.

I've never heard of someone being confused by playing a sequel because of playing the original. If anything, you're missing a large part of the story, essentially Remake Sephiroths timeline, by not having played OG and watched Advent Children.

As for OP, yes Integrade is Remake, but it also includes the INTERmission DLC which is Yuffie's story segment.

So naming a sequel "remake" isnt confusing, but 100% logical, right?

It's a play on the word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/play%20on%20words

It's very clear when you finish the game that its "remaking the timeline", and the promotional material for Rebirth only further drives home the three timelines as they showcase that three worlds/timelines are merging after the events of Sephiroth absorbing the whisperers of fate. They make it a point to outright showcase that Zack changed worlds as well by reshowing the same scene, but with the different dog poster.

Also notice that part two drops the word Remake in favor of Rebirth instead of adding Rebirth to the title ala FF7 Remake: Rebirth.

Well in the original game you're stuck in a mansion that had RESIDENTS who were very much evil, and created evil.

Also you are evil and you are a resident in your own home -- you are resident evil.

Not just confusing, but an ostensibly calculated intentional deception.

I'm confused, what is the issue.

What they're saying is a known fact about the naming scheme. This is known as the R-project.
Crisis Core Reunion, Final Fantasy Remake, Final Fantasy Rebirth, episode 3 will also have an R for its naming scheme. Episode 1, Remake, is a sequel to the original involving time travel and breaking the timeline to defy fate while Rebirth is the birth of a new future, being reborn from the old.

I see you don't own the game on PC... have you actually played it and know what is going on with the story or??
