Splendid audiovisual update of an old classic. Silky smooth performance on high-end hardware. The great story remains intact. Improved controls. Practically no loading times.
CGI cutscenes haven't been remastered and look worse than the rest of the game. Boring and outdated mission structure. NPCs aren't given the same love and care as the main cast.

Graphically, there is a clear disparity in treatment between the main characters, the scenarios and everything secondary.

A visual remaster that impresses
The refurbishment of the combat system that does a lot of good
The OCN less invasive than in the past, with more refined menus
Music that always hits the nail on the head
These invocations, rholala
Zack, as endearing as ever
Finally fully doubled

A large lifespan that remains quite artificial

Visually far superior to the original opus
Fully dubbed in English and Japanese
Menuing in fluidized combat
The OCN, a mechanism that adds spice
New cinematics for summons
The soundtrack still so nice
The posture of the grinding sword... at least it's a novelty
Optimization on PC
A good lifespan provided you want to do the 100%

Rigid hand-to-hand combat
The CGI of 2007 a little blurry and pixelated
Animations and camera shots unchanged since the PSP version
A Zack Fair less convincing than before in English
No real additional content for the occasion
Side missions not always super exciting and repetitive
Very short if you play in a straight line (about 8h)

The combat system is much smoother than it ever was on PSP
Improved controls and camera system
Midgar's ambiance and style is as riveting and engrossing as ever
Voice acting additions to every line of dialogue are welcomed

Design restrictions from being a PSP game are sorely felt
Zack's new voice actor is poorly cast
Gameplay lacks variety and the missions are tedious and plentiful
An unnecessary story that is riddled with retcons and direction that makes Final Fantasy VII's story worse
