I’m playing this now as well. Great looking game so far, but I think you have to play the original first to really get it.

I’m a huge FF fan. I’ve played the entire main series, minus 11 and 14. Not a fan of online games.

I’m really curious how the open world will look in future episodes. My guess is it’ll be similar to 15.

Holy shit that was incredible. I think the Remake is a literal Remake and they're going to change the story up in parts 2 and 3.

Spoiler!

I still need to finish hard mode and get the dresses and I'll platinum it.

Definitely feels like there could be changes and not exact original story with extensive stuff. Gorgeous game.

Just beat it. Incredible game ...wow. The side quests got a bit time consuming but loved it. I'm guessing this game will be a bit different than the original based on how it ended. Especially the words before the credits. I'm guessing this could upset some original players. I LOVED the original story but I'm intrigued and surprised this could be different. Doesn't bother me...atm.

Now how long do we have to wait? Assume we will be playing part 2 on ps5. I may be up the original now to see the differences. Man...I love this game. OG FF7 player.

Replaying the original one on PS4 again after playing remake

Love the remakes lately, introducing a past game to a new audience while updating it for old fans to experience as well. Resident Evil 2 did this exceptionally well, Final Fantasy VII Remake did this really well, RE 3 was a good update as well, but I'm really hoping that they keep this up. Eventually the market could get saturated, but these remakes are really paying homage to the source material, and the changes are minor and more for quality of life and believability than anything. Really looking forward to the next parts and if they haven't already, SquareEnix needs to commission a team to start remaking 8 and 9 with the same care of this one, I'll buy those in a heartbeat, and I think FF8's story would really benefit from an update.

FFX
FFIX
FFVII
FFVIII

Put it in my veins!

I think this because you killed the Arbiters of Fate who were basically keeping the original story in line. Maybe Aerith doesn't die in this iteration? She was the reason we were able to beat Seph on the OG version. But somebody's gotta die, right? I still need to finish hard mode and get the dresses and I'll platinum it.
