Final Fantasy 7 Remake Demo Out Now On PS4, Gets You A Free Theme

As an old time gamer who´s memories from playing the original is clear as day. This demo brought back memories.
I would say the remake stays true to most of it. The very important Music, the enviroment, cutscenes and much more.. The combat is not the same anymore as pointed out. By selecting "classic" i thought it would be turn based like the original but it was not. That is my only gripe with this game, but i will have to adjust to it and say nothing else. I do not want to fret about nothing with this game, why..?
Because, this is a game the fans have been pestering Square-Enix to remake. so i would say, shut your pie holes and enjoy what you been asking about for YEARS! This remake product exists partly because of YOU fans!!
Looking forward to replay my favourite game of all time in a brand new updated skin.

A demo!!!!???

-MY BODY IS READY! NINJA APPROVED-

Was skeptical til I played the demo a second time.
Now I'm all in. This is the first great FF since XII!

Some love the hack & slash combat system, some hates it. Everyone is entitled for their opinion. For me the combat works well with the remake. I truly enjoyed playing the demo and can't wait for the full release.

I read an article on Gamespot that mentioned Tifa and Aerith, but I'm pretty sure they're not playable in this demo...

This is how a remake should be done. Yes, I love the original, but this demo is amazing. I can’t wait for the full game. The combat feels awesome and despite looking similar to Final Fantasy XV’s combat, is not like it at all. Idk what to tell the people who are trashing it. Apparently some of you don’t like awesome things. I know that some of you are going to hate this game just for the sake of hating it.

I've played the original at least 5 times and it's my favorite game of all time, no question. I've just finished playing the remake demo and thought it was cool. I never write reviews or comment, but for this game I almost feel compelled to throw in some words, considering it's THE game of my childhood. After playing the demo, i just wanted to keep playing. I don't share the negative views being posted here. On the contrary, I thought the game seemed very very cool and was an 'upgrade' from the original. Although it was only a short demo, I can safely say the new remake intro was, so far, even better than the original. That's my opinion anyway. If anyone from Square Enix reads this, THANK YOU for doing this. Best game ever, and amazing demo --- thank you

Many of these comments are just downright embarrassing. Some of you really need to get some fresh air/perspective and possibly a Snickers.

Tried the demo the combat just ruins it for me plain and simple, I was disgusted by FFXV combat and now SQE went to took something like FFXV combat and infected FFVII with it. Voice Acting is bad imo too.

Look amazing but sadly this action combat system DOES NOT WORK for FF GAME where you have 3 party members. Classic mode is not even remotely anything like the classic game, and there other modes are just trash like FFXV is.

Wont preorder this wont buy it a full price, all parts will be released in one package for less then 20$ before I even think about getting this.

If they left the damn Combat system ALONE I would preorder/ bought it day one collector edition etc but this this just leave sour taste in my mouth.

Thank you SQ for take one my favorite childhood games and turning into something IT IS NOT with this trash you call combat systems these days.

The remake is perfect and beautiful! Nuff said. No other persons opinion matters. They dont get to have an opinion. Bye.

As someone that enjoyed the original, I didnt care for the remake. interms of the combat, I liked the turn base style of the series. they have switched to the action oriented style. Which for this series I dislike.

They shoehorned in "classic" style combat (which they tell you sets it at easy setting, why I dont know) and it essentially just attacks for you. which left you to do nothing really.

If you wanted a Monster hunter competitor you should have spun off a new series. instead of ruining the formula of what got the series here in the first place....end rant.

Well, I'm not very excited for this, but I won't say no to a free demo - smart move to issue one. I've "discovered" a lot of games I didn't know I really wanted over the years thanks to demos. Maybe SE will surprise me and get a sale

i would try it out if it was release on the pc too, with my wii u pro controller using the mayflash wii u pro controller adapter on xinput (xbox 360/one controller) mode on ultra high settings in 1080p without ray tracing.

This particular segment of the game, at least, was honestly like ten times better than the original in almost every single possible aspect - except in terms of exploration, which was about the same or maybe slightly worse.

I'm still very hopeful for the final release now.

I'm sorry to say that the combat was every bit as bad as I expected it to be.

You either play normal mode which is just a button mashing action crap fest that has nothing to do with FFVII, or you play classic mode where you feel like you're not even playing the game yourself.

Also, Barrett's dialogue is atrocious and they retconned the story so that Avalanche isn't responsible for the reactor explosion, effectively removing some interesting moral ambiguity from the game.

I guess I'll maybe pick up the complete edition on a Steam sale in 10-15 years.

So wait a second.... chapter 1 only goes up to the scorpion boss? ...how many chapters are in the first release?

I just finished it, that was pretty neat (my only complain was the music it didn't sound too good to me).

Why would they put out such an old demo? No items or the turn based combat option?

Strange decision.

I'm going to say that this is not the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, this is the Crisis Core Sequel. A somewhat academic differentiation but its soul is definitely shared with Crisis Core.

I'm fine with this, I really enjoyed Crisis Core.

Ugh its not even recognizable. Shoulda nixed this idea when they lost the original 3D assets.

Get FF7 for pc. Install the Remako mod which upscales all backgrounds and textures using AI. Looks phenomenal now even on 4k. Play the og because this, without the prospect of escaping Midgar until whenever the next "episode" releases years down the road, makes my desire to play this pretty much gone.

I like ff7 remake I through was good and if people complaining no turn base and if watch Tokyo game show last year they showed turn base on stream . Since he said turn it on and off. Anyway I’m final fantasy fan so .

The exploration and combat were atrocious! FFXV all over again. FAIL.
