I know two people who chose [to play] Remake before the original. One of them reported it was “pretty good” and the other counts it as one of their favorite games of all time, and didn’t enjoy the original when they unsuccessfully tried to play it afterward because they didn’t like turn-based combat. It was actually their first Final Fantasy, and possibly their first RPG. – Netsubunkai
I played Remake without ever having played FF7 and did just fine. I know there were probably a ton of easter eggs and references I didn’t get, but it didn’t negatively impact my experience.
I did get to the ending and go ‘wait who’s Zack?’ and then did some reading up. Enjoyed the game a lot and I’m looking forward to when I can make time for Rebirth. – AmaltheaElanor
Honestly, the FF7 Remake is peak Final Fantasy. – Yzzlthtz
