About Final Fantasy VII Remake in brief
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a 2020 action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix. It is the first in a planned series of games remaking the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII. The game was released for the PlayStation 4 on April 10, 2020. It received positive reviews, with praise for its graphics, gameplay, narrative, and music. It was a financial success and has become one of the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 games, selling over 3. 5 million copies within the first three days. It covers the first section of the original game, set in the metropolis of Midgar. Players control Cloud Strife, a former Shinra soldier turned mercenary who joins the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE to fight the Shinra Corporation, who have been draining the planet’s life energy. The story includes major expansions to character development and some notable plot additions. The updated battle system was praised for its strategic elements and visual flourishes. However, reception was more mixed toward the game’s linearity and the repetitive nature of its sidequests. The player can switch between party members at any time during battle, such as Cloud’s close-quarters melee attacks and Barret’s long-range distance attacks. Players are able to use magic and summons of large creatures, and a Limit Break gauge allows characters to perform more powerful attacks once charged. While the game has more real-time elements, strategic elements still remain,such as selecting weapons and magic for each character to wield.
It features an altered Active Time Battle system from the original, which gradually fills up slowly, or can fill faster with attacks. Once it is filled, the player can halt the action and use special abilities such as magic, items, and special moves, allowing them to play inreal-time without pausing. It has been estimated that Remake covers approximately 30% of theoriginal game’s story. The veteran Japanese Final FantasyVII voice cast returned for the new installment, but the English voices were recast. The staff redesigned the characters to balance realism and stylization. The original game was remade using real- time polygonal graphics as opposed to the pre-rendered environments of the originally released game. It also includes major updates to the story, including major additions to the character development, and major changes to the main theme and story line. The remake was released in Japan on November 14, 2015. It will be released in the U.S. on November 18, 2015, in Europe on November 19, 2015 and in Australia on November 20, 2015 on November 21, 2016, and in other countries on November 22, 2016 and November 23, 2016.
