What is the Best Version of Final Fantasy VII

It is not easy to say which is the best version of Final Fantasy VII, it depends on person to person. Even though there are multiple versions of Final Fantasy VII, some players continue to believe that the original game on PlayStation is the best version, whereas some believe that the game can be best enjoyed while playing on Nintendo Switch and Xbox (Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X). However, if you are interested in a modern and cinematic experience, Final Fantasy VII Remake for the PlayStation 5 or PC might be the best version.

  1. For the original release, any you can get your hands on. If you want the best graphics, and the ability to mod the Remake, then I would say PC personally. I would say play both the original and Remake though, however you can.

  2. I personally think everyone should play the original, I’m not really the biggest fan of the changes made to the story in the remake. I also don’t like the battle system as much as turned based rpgs, so I found myself struggling with the game when I played the first half a little bit. Without getting into spoilers, I think a certain few characters may not actually pass away in the remake which completely ruins the story for me. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I suppose we won’t find out until all the parts are finished and released.

  3. As a big fan of Final Fantasy, since I can remember, I prefer the original Final Fantasy VII on PSone, the Remake was not very to my liking although it brought new things and Square Enix tried to innovate a little, I started my adventures through the worlds of Final fantasy with FFVII when I was a child, I am very fond of FFVII, the only thing I didn’t like was its translation into Spanish, which was horrible.

  4. Final Fantasy VII Remake will be my favourite to play. It doesn’t matter if I played it on Playstation 5 or PC, they are both so good. I have actually played it on both Playstation 5 and PC, it’s an incredible game with so much improved graphics from the original game.
