Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing game released in 2020 by Square Enix. It is the first game in a planned series recreating the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII. Players take control of mercenary Cloud Strife in the dystopian cyberpunk metropolis of Midgar. He joins AVALANCHE, an eco-terrorist organization attempting to prevent the mighty megacorporation Shinra from utilizing the planet's life force as a source of energy. Real-time action is combined with strategic and role-playing aspects in the gameplay.

In April 2020, the PlayStation 4 version of the game was published. It was well-received, with acclaim for its aesthetics, gameplay, narrative, and soundtrack. Critics praised how accurate the plot and mythos remained to the original 1997 game while building on it. The new fighting system was hailed for its strategic components as well as its aesthetic embellishments. However, reactions to the game's linearity and the repetitive nature of its sidequests were divided. Final Fantasy VII Remake quickly became one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 titles, selling more than 3.5 million copies in three days and more than five million by August 2020. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, an improved version, was published in 2021 for the PlayStation 5.
