So based on this, we don’t really know how to compare the remake with the original, so we had to look up some comparisons to see the differences between the two. What a cutie □□Īs we mentioned, FF7 was the last mainline Final Fantasy game that we hadn’t played yet. The only side quests I gave up on were the ones where you have to find some drunk guy and because I ragequit the dress Cloud got for his cross dressing performance was like some fuddy duddy maid outfit xD. There were a few annoying and confusing puzzles but not nearly as bad as it could have been and overall I didn’t really use a guide except to complete a few side quests. I didn’t mind though because honestly I had fun with it. They added a lot of new content and things that were maybe 30 minutes in the original game, ended up taking me an entire night in this game. Unfortunately the amount of story covered in this remake is only about 1/4 of the game! Even though it took me about 2 weeks to complete we barely scratched the surface. ( ´_ゝ`)Īnyway now that the technical rant is out of the way I want to talk about the actual story. Unfortunately as you can see despite me taking all precautions, it didn’t stop the game from crashing mid battle with Jenova for me…after which I just had my husband redo the fight from the start because my brain had checked out after that. Needless to say not too far into the game I had to basically quit streaming it because it would just make the whole thing unplayable completely. My computer doesn’t normally BSOD ever so the fact that this happened with this game is an impressive feat. When I attempted to stream and use vtube software it basically caused my computer to go into a BSOD and crash. However about after 1 hour of play the game memory usage would skyrocket to a whopping 5 gigs. Normally the game starts off with 1-2 gigs of ram (which is not great but doable). Unfortunately the one thing I could not fix with mods was the memory leak. I also had to force the game into Direct X 11 because DX12 was basically unplayable. This mod not only improved the graphics from looking like a PS3, but it also stopped the game from constant stuttering and lag. Dance Cloud, dance!! □□Īfter spending hours installing a graphic improvement mod I continued with my adventures. Still for $50 I shouldn’t get a game that crashes, has memory leaks and has shit graphics that require me to download a fucking mod to improve. I decided to hold off until their spring sale in March and bought it for about $50. Finally at the end of 2021 they released the PC port and made it an epic games exclusive which made it cost like $70 for not even a limited or preorder edition. Square Enix decided to wait 2 fucking years to even put it on PC after putting on PS4, then upgrading the graphics and adding a Yuffie DLC and putting it on PS5. So let’s start with the problems of the actual port. As usual my husband’s commentary is in green. That said, the game itself and the characters and story were great enough to make up for it that I plowed through to the end. Unfortunately this port was to suffer the same fate as most of Square Enix’s other FF ports: It was terrible and put a huge damper on my playtime experience. Well finally that they ported FF7R to PC and there was a sale I decided to buckle down to play the last final fantasy game that I have not yet played.
