I have and I really enjoyed it, as a nostalia trip I think it's going to be amazaing. They've done a really great job with the character designs and animations.Who has played the FFVII remake demo?
I enjoyed it, but I am still not convinced that I'll be forking out £60 (let alone £75 for the 'deluxe' edition) on release next month.
It looks pretty faithful to the original in terms of content, design, storyline etc., but of course the gameplay has been radically updated (or at least it is more similar to more recent FF titles) - I was kind of hoping that it would basically be the same as the original but just with updated graphics (a bit like the Crash remakes) but alas it isn't.
The demo takes you up to the first boss fight in the game - just after planting the bomb in the Mako reactor.
I had selected 'Normal' difficulty for the demo, as opposed to 'Easy' or 'Classic' so I was expecting it to be a bit harder, and it was...
I did manage to win the boss fight on my first attempt, but it was considerably harder than the corresponding boss fight in the original
Given that this release is only part of the original game, the price point seems too high for me, though I guess that the new game will have as much content/playability as the original; but who knows....
It was harder than I expected it to be on normal difficulty but I still completed the demo on my first run. Some of the enemies seemed considerably tougher than I expected leading up to the boss fight, untill I figures out what thier weknesses were anyway.
I thinik that Midgar will be a lot bigger in this game than it was in the original and there are a few extra side missions and sortylines added.
I've not preordered but I'm begging to feel like I might as well do that, because if I don't own it on release day I'll proably just give in and buy it anyway.
If you're looking for a battle system more akin to the original then I beleive there is an option in there for the fights to be turn based, possibly the classic mode, so that might be worth a try for you.
