Trivia

This game was supposed to be remade back in the early 2000's but Square realized that it would be a huge undertaking, so they spent a lot of time working on other projects in the meantime. It wasn't until the end of the Playstation 3's life cycle that Square decided to go ahead with the remake, with the original game makers stating that they were only getting older and were afraid a younger generation will take over and lose the essence of the original. They finally decided to get back together and even got Nobuo to return to compose the soundtrack. The game was in development for over 5 years.

User Reviews

Fantastic experience that does not disappoint

Without a doubt the best final fantasy since x or xii depending on your taste (xiii trilogy and xv were equally flawed)

The graphics are breathtaking and the music as you would expect from a ff game, combat also really improved over xv and it flows really well with the music, now it's not flawless and you might get a texture pup in every now and then which is alright for a game this big and it can easily be fixed with some patches.

But all around this is a beautiful love letter to final fantasy and vii fans and even though the story is not complete the game is up to 35+ hours with the side missions and you'll get your money's worth so don't hesitate to get this gem of a videogame.
