Final Fantasy 7:Remake released just 3 months ago but it seems like nobody ever talks about it anymore.
- Thread starter CorpseLight
- Start date
Most people finished it!
Edit: 52% of the owners in the US have completed the last chapter, not bad.

It's a gorgeous reimagining with great combat, but the side content feels...hollow? It's like all the detail went into the artistic design of the world, which is fantastic, but then they forgot to make the time you spend there -- not, like, main-story time; I mean the nitty-gritty, Midgar-is-our-home-and-this-is-how-we-live time -- interesting and memorable.
Overall an enjoyable game. Just could've been a bit better.

I think the game was actually discussed quite extensively, it just has nothing going on right now, Square is not really giving us anything to discuss about it. I'd expect every now and then someone will create a LTTP thread and that's about it until the first signs of buzz around VIIR-2 come up.
I really loved it. Did all the side content and everything. I'll play it again when it inevitably comes to PC. At the same time, it did wind up only feeling like a piece of a bigger game to me. So, that kind hurt its ability to leave a lasting impression.
I just finished it and went "yep, time to wait 5 years for a sequel." Like, not even in a hype way. Just... now to wait.

Trust me there's plenty of discussion. Just not here where other games become the topic after a time.
It doesnt have MTX to have people stay engaged (which i find a good thing) nor should that be the case since its a single player game. That said i still need to finish it. on Chapter 10 or so. So with that I'm gonna peace out. But before I do, i don't equate buzz post launch that Multiplayer or co op games have with Buzz that single player games have. To me Multiplayer game buzz is more binary it's either there or it's not which usually indicates if the game in question is dead in the water. Whereas Single player game buzz has more of an ebb and flow to it, it comes and goes after release.
I liked it a lot. I considered doing a replay on Hard mode but the thought of going back through all the tedious slow-walking sections put me off; still, one enjoyable forty hour playthrough is more than enough. It was my favourite game of the year until TLOU2 came out and ate everything else's lunch.
Either "recent games" has taken over the conversation, or everything that had to be said about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been said and we now await the next part. There's nothing wrong with that honestly since as far as games go, the remake was definitely an amazing piece of work. Hell, I still haven't really played the original, and yet I found myself getting emotional from both scenes and music. I'll play the original one of these days (got plenty of time to do it...), but I think there's nothing else to say other than wait for the trailer for Part 2 so the speculation game can start anew. Especially considering how for a game that is 23 years old, it has left many people wanting to know where the story is going from here since it quite literally is more than just "a remake."
Is this the companion thread to RE3 remake released 3 months ago and nobody talks about it?
Is it too soon for me to create the last of us part 2 just released and nobody talks about it?

I'm still excited for it, Im just waiting for a PC port or PS5/XSX port to get the game.
I also still want to replay the original first.

There's over 22 THOUSAND posts in the spoiler threads on this website. Let alone the actual OT. And that's just this website.
Like with a lot of non-open world single player games, there's only so much to talk about. There's theories I guess (with this game especially), but what did you expect?

He wouldn't be alone in saying that. I've seen dozens of people who either never liked FF or never even heard of it play Remake and love the hell out of it. It's a well made game, has a ton of content, and there's new experiences for players new and old. Not all that weird. You'd think with that reaction the game was swimming in 7s or worse.
This happens with single player games.
Would you like another "Final Fantasy VII Remake has developed quite the fanart following" thread?

It came out, it was pretty good, and it will be many years before we see a part 2, its hard for me to particularly care
I mean ... it was talked about on here in like 15 seperate threads for close to 6 weeks. I don't know what else you want OP ? The people who wanted to play it the most did so and finished it and exhausted all avenue of discussion and ... if that weren't enough there's a 3 hour review from Tim Rogers and hundreds of hours of video on youtube of people breaking down every single facet of the game. Up until just a few days ago the "ultimania" thread was even still on the first page.
False premise. The fanart scene is still incredibly active and the spoiler discussions still go on. Plus, 3 months a very weird metric to go by. Game did extremely well, pleased a lot of skeptics, people are excited for the continuation. Its all good.
Well for starters its not very replayable, nor does it have a lot of content as it's a linear RPG. Pretty much everyone who got it at release was done with it ages ago. Was also a bit of a let down in regards to awful level design, side quests and pace-killers making replaying it even more painful.
Honestly though, 2020 has quite a few of the biggest releases of the generation (Already has HL, Animal Crossing, FF7, TLOU, Tsushima soon, with Cyberpunk and all the next gen stuff still to come), so it's really not surprising that any one of them is gonna lose traction after a few months. Not to mention it's also a remake, so there wasn't a whole lot of new to talk about anyway.

It's my favourite game of all time.
However, once I've finished it and discussed the ending with friends or people on here, it felt okay to move on from the game and have it be one of those amazing experiences that I will likely go back to every year or two and it will be the game I mention first the second someone asks what my favourite games are.
However, I don't feel a need to discuss it perpetually and I believe that many around here or in different gaming circles will feel the same way. It's an amazing experience and a memorable one. I don't feel that games need to keep being discussed over and over to have made an impact.

Its second best game I've played this year. I"m currently slowly doing a hard mode replay. The game is 9/10 for me. Just wish it didn't have so many forced loading/squeeze through tight place sections. The Last of Us Two is just on a different level though. I'm waiting to replay that one on PS5 though.
I thought the game was great with one of the best soundtracks of all time. Not sure what more there to discuss when everything has been discussed to death and we know what happens in the rest of the game.
Really excited for the next part

I loved FF7 Remake and even got the Platinum trophy and did everything the game had to offer.
That said:
1. I'm wishing the game got an update that fixed the glaring visual issues it has with the stupid ass looking background stuff, like the apartment doors.
2. This game could have really used a better end-game. I think the whole "You finished the game! Use chapter select and try Hard mode!" Didn't work to the game's benefit. I was hoping they had you return to Midgar after the ending to go back and do missions to repair the Sector 7 Slums as a means to "kill time" until the next chapter and give you crazy hidden bosses and challenges. I think the VR missions are not as exciting and having to jump through a chapter select to use the VR machine feels very disconnected.
3. I'm also kind of waiting/hoping for a PS5 improved version (hoping it's free upgrade) and maybe some Royal Edition DLC or REMIND DLC to expand the game a bit before Part 2 comes out.

I played it nonstop since release and then beat it. It was awesome, and I enjoyed every moment. Nothing more to say except wait for 3 more years apparently.
... Huh?
We had months of high traffic threads and it's still brought up in a bunch of them.
EDIT: Even today we've had new threads like this:

FF7-R co-director Naoki Hamaguchi on the Unreal Engine 5 demo: "When I saw it, I could feel the new sparks of creativity being stirred within me"
I don't know from which interview it is, but here's an excerpt I found on Twitter:

I just notice something unique with this forum. If one person starts the thread talking about the bad aspects of the game, then many people joining in will also talk about the bad aspects of the game, the ones who dislike the game become majority, while the ones who like minority
But when you start the thread talking about how great the game is, then all people joining in will also praise the game and how they are really excited for the sequel. They ones who dislike it become minority in vocal, very contrary with the first paragraph

One of the top games I've played this year, but there is so much new stuff to play and my backlog is massive so I just move onto the next thing.
Funny this thread popped up, I literally just bought the game today. Gamestop was sold out so I decided to download it.
I loved it, and I guess everyone who did as well discussed it to dust and now are hanging on tight to see what the sequel will bring.
It's my GOTY. Possibly Game of the Gen as well. And the final boss has become one of my favorite boss fights ever.
