It's free to play but I still want a refund.

Game is ok to a certain point. I wanted to see the additional story. Usually with GACHA games you can't go far into events without like the specific item for that event to say. THE ISSUE with this game is. You need to have super strong characters for story mode. STORY MODE. SQEX is destroying this game with the gacha and super hard content for story mode.

If you want to just play a gacha game, there are better.
If you want to just play a FFVII game, there are better.

But if you like me enjoy gacha games and at the same time are obsessed with FFVII and want all the Sephiroth lore and cute young Sephiroth costumes you can get in this universe, this game is for you!

Just started this game, it's good enough for now.

I think a lot of criticism this game is receiving is coming from people who've never played a gacha game. They see that it's FF7 and were curious to try out. Judging from many of the complaints I've seen, it sounds a lot like they are expecting the entire compilation from the getgo. I was a skeptic at first and thought it would be a money-grab move by SE, like every other gacha developer these days but it blew my expectations out the water. If you only want to enjoy the free to play aspects, then you have to be good at saving ingame currency. This is probably why these newcomers are unhappy. They blow all their free currency randomly, reach a more technical boss type creature, can't figure out how to beat it, look at shop and think that you need to spend a dollar to progress.. I was F2P for like half a year and I could beat every boss besides some of the Event Bosses like Sephiroth Crash EX2. I am totally fine not being able to always beat a crazy boss like that that early into the game. You need to be able to accept that you can't always beat them and just use up stamina to maximize your character's growths, levels and weapons and try again later. Save for limited weapons because they typically have stronger abilities! Do this and you will succeed

If your a Final Fantasy 7 fan, it is a must get. The minor down side is diologue still in Japanese, but ignoring that, it is a fun game to keep and even put money into as I don't usually put a lot of money into phone games. But I want to for this one. Get it and have fun, :)

Not the Complete true to original remake it was hyped as. Huge bits cut, combat over simplified and frankly simpler then most other gatchas I've seen,

And along with areas they just cut, that help build the world and journey of the original. The animations are worse than PSone version, it's just lazy. Destroys tone they managed to build so well with so much less at their disposal.

Eg. PSone has cloud swiftly jump to his feet and get off some flowers. In this its so slow and he does this silly like cocky walk them. That used to say so much about who cloud was behind his pretense of not caring about anything and yet they can't manage to do something Devs did 30 years ago? These current devs should be ashamed.

(oh and the scene before that entirely broke down twice, I had to skip it to move forward, never had the PS1 version do that to me)

And the pricing is just all so predatory too so much worse than other games that sure are about predatory but at least they are also generally far better.

great game even if u dont get the 5*

Shameless cash grab. Not even worth the disk space.
