This is such a waste, hope they release it for the consoles.

Ask me about my terrible takes on Star Trek characters
I played the trial. When it was an actual game, it was pretty good because FF7 is good. But then it descends into gatcha hell. So that makes me sad.

Pepsi-Man on the PS1 has more unironic value then every "Free to Play" mobile game combined...
Give me a COMPLETELY paid, REAL mobile game, for the love of Aphrodite... Why is this so hard to do? Just make a real game. That you pay for, and enjoy.
Even though it's just another game milking Final Fantasy 7. When there are other FF games they could be exploring...

Square is pretty good with they mobile gacha games. Played Octopath, Nier Reincarnation and a few other FF strategy games, and they all felt like you could ignore the gacha and just enjoy the story and progress with the stuff you get.

There was a time where I didn’t have access to any of my consoles, so I downloaded FF Brave Exvius and played it regularly for months. I never spent a cent and I got through story content just fine. Even for some of the optional content that’s WAY too tough for my characters, the game allows you to borrow a unit from some rando and that helped me out many times.

I swear someone wished on a monkey’s paw.
“I want a Final Fantasy VII remake”: S-E releases a game called Final Fantasy VII Remake that isn’t actually a remake
“No, I want a true remake of the original Final Fantasy VII and include stuff from the spin-offs too”: S-E makes it but it’s a mobile F2P episodic gacha game

IIRC they never did add it to the Pixel Remasters on mobile either which is just ridiculous

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I guess they did for Mobius Final Fantasy, but it wasn't received well on PC because the heart of the game was still pure mobile gashapon trash, just like this one.

No doubt, this would be the last thing I want from a port. That design just doesn't translate all that well to other platforms imo.

I thought this game was out months ago. Hmm.

Will give this a try since it is free but it is weird seeing people excited for this game. How do people forget how predatory squares ftp games are and also how quickly they shut it down if it under performs.

they are going to use it to market it with Rebirth and 3rd one to get more money out of us

Imagine having a legendary game like Final Fantasy VII in your back pocket and then over the course of nearly three decades find various ways to exploit it and squeeze every fucking fan for every dollar that you can get out of them without giving them what they actually want.

I stand by OG FF7 with mods is probably the closest thing that we are going to get to a true remake that isn't fucked up with micro transactions and all the other extended universe crap that no one ever asked for.

It's free?
Fuck it, you guys. This is like complaining about voluntary community service. Sure, the arrangement could be better, but like....you can always just peace out. Don't dive into every ocean and you won't become a whale.

Did you expected a F2P game to not have any kind of monetization?

Yeah, F2P games work like this:
-Pay lots of money, strengthen your characters to the point the game is trivial
^Why would you do that, congratulations you've successfully finished the game by spending all your money, now you can delete it.
-Pay LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of money, win at multiplayer (I mean a shit-fuck-ton, like $10,000s or more)
^Again pretty pointless and a sign of a big problem most likely
-Pay lots and lots of money to obtain all the FOMO content
^People who have no control get trapped here as well
-Pay nothing, grind the shit of out them (like hours and hours a day) get everything for free instead of paying
^I guess you have nothing better to do with your time, or it's one of your first F2P games
-Pay nothing, play a little here and there
^Pretty harmless imo
-Pay for some monthly/VIP pass once or twice or get the new player deal ($5-$20 total spend), and play a little here or there
^Pretty harmless imo - the time/$ you put in will probably compare to a normal AAA game
Coming to a PC or console near you got $70 and microtransactions. Hard pass on this as much as I like the FF7 universe. Keep this shit on mobile and stop bleeding into retail price games. Now can I see the entire game and story content, without spending a dime? withour caring about character strength level?

The dumpster fire that are the in-app purchases. I can’t imagine being part of this development team and following along with their money stealing strategies. Sakaguchi gave them the games they’ll milk for next 20+ years.

Wow, the amount of menus and tutorials this thing puts you through just to get a mere scrap of something resembling gameplay.

And just like every other mobile game I've tried, I'm instantly overwhelmed about the amount of nonsense on the main screen. Why can't they just make this shit simple.

F2p gatcha game 101, has to be as convoluted as possible. I only did the intro chapter but i am already ready to bounce off. There are much better ways to experience ff7 story.
Was going to at least check out that first soldier story since it would be new but they want me to experience more of that bastardized version of ff7 first

It's a gacha game alright. I'll play it for now but I ain't spending a dime. Square Enix gets enough of my money every time I resub to XIV

In my experience Square has been fairly generous in their F2p offerings so far. Have no problem with this being a gacha game. As long as main content can be cleared f2p I don’t see a problem.

I played Nier Reincarnation for the story stuff without paying a dime, I'll do the same for this.

What a closed minded view. Software is all that matters. Platform is largely irrelevant. I’d be curious to see how you define “game”.
