Wait for the remake 45 38.79%
 
Total:116

Hey guys, so as you might know I never really had any non Nintendo systems in my life up until now, as I just ordered my PS4 a couple days ago

Now, about FF7. I know the remake is coming out , but do you think I should go and play the original, or just wait for the remake?

I know the graphics haven't aged very well, but how about the gameplay of the original?

Thanks

I never played FFVII back in the day, tried a few years back and hated it. Thing is I love the FFVII movie and so I crazy hyped for the games remake.... so yeah I'd say wait, it really hasnt aged well imo.



If you do decide to play it, get the PS4 port that was announced last year at PSX. The trophys leaked for it so it must be coming out soon.

That's what I was planning to do if I did end up getting the original

I say, go back and experience it for yourself. The remake will undoubtedly change a lot from the original. It's a classic. Besides, we won't get FFVII Remake until 2017 at least. And as BraLoD said, you HAVE to listen to the music of that game. It's one of the few soundtracks where I can listen to the entire thing without wanting to skip a track. Do yourself a favor, play FFVII. It's available on PS1+2 via BC, PS3, PS4, PSP, PC, Steam, and emuCOUGHlation. There's no reason a JRPG or RPG Fan in general should miss out on this gem.

if you doesn't hate turn base battle, FF7 definitely one of the best JRPG classic worth playing... 



the game hasnt aged pretty well. IMHO you should wait for the rmk



You should wait for the remake, IMO. Primarily because of spoilers. Spoilers won't matter much for long time fans that remember the game of their childhood, but to people that have never played it, I imagine the game won't be as impactful and you'll just ruin yourself the story for the remake.

If it's the original music you're interested in, you can always buy the soundtrack separately.



If you don´t mind the outdated graphics then play it now



                                                                                     

The remake won't hit for another 2 years. Plenty of time to actually play all of the Final Fantasy before that.
