Final Fantasy 7 needs little introduction, with how it reshaped and defined it’s era as one of the premier RPGs. The game had a lot to love and cement itself as one of the greater games of all time with it’s 3D graphics, strategic and customizable battle system, and memorable story and cast. It wasn’t a matter of if it would get a remake, rather it was a matter of when.

Eventually, Final Fantasy 7’s remake would release after years anticipation, and shake the gaming world. The new combat system utilizes the old ATB system in a more active manner, and the stunning graphics and perspective breathed life into the world of Gaia.
