Final Fantasy VII was originally released for the PlayStation One in 1997, going on to become widely recognized as the most popular entry in the long-running role-playing series. Featuring a unique diesel-punk aesthetic, fans were quickly enamored by Cloud and his ragtag group of warriors who embark on a quest to dismantle and destroy Shinra, a powerful corporation destroying the environment. The game has been re-released for several consoles in the years since its release.
The remake of Final Fantasy VII eventually arrived for the PlayStation 4 in 2020. This ground-up revamp of the classic RPG not only includes an entirely new graphics engine but several mechanical and narrative twists on the original. The game received almost universal praise from critics who lauded its engaging combat system which managed to implement more active elements while also paying homage to the turn-based system which came before. Final Fantasy VII Remake was eventually ported to PC in late 2021.
