    I remember playing this on the PSP. This game really takes me back and glad it was updated for current consoles. Must play to get some back story on Zack.

    A blast from the past to hold me over until FF7R part 2 comes out. I adore FF7 and all its spinoffs and this makes me feel like a kid again.

    An Outstanding Remaster

    This game is one of my absolute favorites on the PSP, and this remake was an incredible gift to fans. The new voice actors were a bit hard to get used to after hearing the old ones for years, but they did great. The graphics are of course wonderful and I love the charm of the old animations still being there. The combat has the same feel but updated controls and UI has really made the game feel good to play, which I am very pleased by. After doing everything in the game for the first time now on the remaster, this is a title I'm glad to be able to treasure for the rest of my life.

    This game is absolutely amazing! I personally would rate this game a 5/5 due to nostalgia reasons playing this back on the PSP. If I'm being completely realistic it is not a perfect game. People need to know that before going into this is that this game WAS a PSP game and it really shows in some game animations and mechanics. The only real differences from this game and the original is the graphics, controls, and some new features here and there. Most of the issues in this game come from the fact that it did come from a system that wasn't necessarily powerful. Some of these include repetitive gameplay, and missions that usually are comprised of hallway -> fight room rinse and repeat. The story is awesome, a bit weird at times but you get to know the origins of cloud, his mentor, and the buster sword.

    It's exactly what the original was, just updated. If you played and enjoyed the original, you won't be disappointed. If you didn't play it on PSP and want to experience it, this is a great buy. Nothing new, no surprises.

    This is definitely the same game as it was on the PSP but with a fantastic upgrade in graphics. The story is still as weird and convoluted as ever though, but the game play and nostalgia more than make up for it. If you need a fix before Rebirth comes out in 2023, its worth playing through. I have a feeling a lot of events in this game will be mentioned in Rebirth.
