It’s finally here. After many long years, Final Fantasy 7 Remake has finally been released. If you’ve read our review, you’ll know that we think it’s incredible. While this is only the first part of the remake and it ends as AVALANCHE escapes Midgar, Square Enix has expanded the game and added to it to make sure Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a full-length game.
Overall, playing through from start to finish is going to take you about 40 or so hours. This includes completing all side-quests and working your way through each of the chapters.
There’s a lot of story to tell, a lot of characterisation to experience and a whole lot of awesome fighting.

MINOR SPOILERS FOLLOW
The original Final Fantasy 7 wasn’t broken up into chapters, as that wasn’t the done thing back in 1997. It is in 2020 though and so Final Fantasy 7 Remake is split into chapters.
The names of these chapters may be seen as spoilers, so read them at your own risk.
