Just got another perfect review from THE GUARDIAN! Good stuff!
https://www.theguardian.com/games/2020/apr/08/final-fantasy-vii-remake-review-a-classic-game-reaches-new-heights

No question, the 7's and 6's are very questionable reviews...more so than the 10/10's, to be honest. A perfect score is closer to where the game would rather be than say a 7 or even a 6. The game is definitely in that 8.5-9.5 range more than likely.

I'm sure it'll be a 9 for me but I'm still awaiting my copy.

I'm not sure if you've seen spoilers or not but from what I've seen 7 and 6s seem pretty fair. And the fan response is looking like it's going to be very divisive.

LOL of course I haven't seen spoilers. This is like my most anticipated game ever and I spent $125 on the deluxe edition which I still don't have in the mail. I'm going nuts waiting for this and there's already so many people that have finished the game. It's ridiculous. I have to pretend like no one is playing it at all to make myself feel more comfortable about it.

All I know is that there are more than enough changes. And to be honest, this just excites me. Who wants to play the same game again? As long as the story is still impactful and epic in its own right, I'll be satisfied. Right now, it's either you like it or you don't. But from what I hear, it's really the story which is gonna divide people. As far as gameplay, I've heard mostly positive things.

Tim over at Kinda Funny games - HUGE FFVII fan - is absolutely thrilled about it. In fact, all of the guys over at Kinda Funny (I watched their review podcast spoiler free) had nothing but positive feedback. One of the guys admitted he's new to FF and tried getting into the original but just couldn't do it...was not his thing. Now he thinks the remake is one of his favourite games ever.

I feel the fans might be more divisive but what about those who are not familiar with the FFVII story? I have a feeling the newcomers are gonna be blown away by this game.

ANyway, I simply can't wait! I just hope there's a day one patch because people are saying the game is full of low res textures and it stands out too much. This is quite concerning to me as that doesn't seem very Square like since they always pay close attention to graphical fidelity.
