[Cedarva]

If only.

[Taerdin]

Yeah what is this game? It's FF7 and its free? I don't understand...

[Jontej]

Is it really the whole FF7 original? Or just a cash grab..?

[PopCornFlakes]

never played it, probably never will, but i've heard it's a free to Pay and that Square Enix is being very greedy about this .

If I want toplay FF7 ,im playing the original with mods. Also ♥♥♥♥ the remake !

[Jontej]

So they are just milking the masterpiece, SE is a ♥♥♥♥ company nowadays. The remake had potential, but was ruined by stupid "new" plot twists.. I was hoping they would do this right and respect the original, but no.. :(

played remake a few hours ... i stopped when i was bored seing Sephiroth showing up at every coner of the streets in flashbacks , when you're not supposed to see him one single time in Midgard in the original. They 've screwed up the whole plot and game i tell you. Square Enix

Yeah thats why the developer said it was a REMAKE and not a remaster like all the other suposed "remakes" out there.

Since nobody answered OP, I'll do my best. I haven't played it yet, but it seems like it's a gacha game with FF7 as the focus. Seems you start out in a story that goes over things from Sephiroth's perspective, then moves into retelling Crisis Core and FF7. Unclear how different things are, but I'd assume that it'll hit the major beats, but mainly just be a pretty stripped down version of all the stories. Consensus seems there's not much reason to play it unless you like gacha for gacha's sake.

It's pretty much this, but it's the only present way to experience the story from the defunct First Soldier game, and rumored to be incorporating other tales from the FFVII story that didn't make it to mainstream. Basically you're a die-hard or a try-hard. If you aren't one of those two, this game is not for you.

The amount of accounts, that can't answer a simple question, is fascinating.

It's barely considerable a replaceable version of the "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII" (as how Square Enix loves to call it).

It's basically a re-cap that skips entire narrative parts (like for example: Cloud in FF VII jumping to the train when surrounded by Shinra soldiers after the Mako reactor segment) for each main game of the series:

-FF VII (og is also avaiable on Steam)
-Crisis Core (avaiable with the "Reunion" remaster on Steam)
-Advent Children (movie)
-Dirge of Cerberus (PS2)

+ two games that are unavaiable nowadays: Before Crisis and The First Soldier (battle royale that already died out its live service).
This game will be mainly worth for those two latter ones since they'll basically preserve those, in some sort of sense, with this gacha.

Oh, speaking of which: the gacha part is mainly about getting powerful weapons and skins. So be ready to spend and login A LOT if you want those. Or, in case, be ready to spend real money if you want something so desperately or most of it.

My suggestion is: play all those original games before, still.
What Square Enix is doing is basically playing a "reminescent" effect old-school players (they're doing the same on the onn-going Remake trilogy) while adding few extras scenes (until now that's the impression I got from this game until now with the FF VII and Crisis Core part).

Yes, make a post here asking a generic question easily found on any search engine, established FF7EC community (Reddit, gaming sites, specific webpages, etc.), gaming articles, or mobile app store news and reviews - then wait for answers instead of taking less than 15 seconds to find the answer yourself.

Yup .. this is it. Good call.

This game is a ULTRA GRIND and VERY P2W and the most aggressive monetization I ever seen. I dropped the game a month ago and I recommend you do the same after you finish the story campaign thus far.

It takes FOREVER to power up your characters and the Materia system is pure ♥♥♥♥.
