Final Fantasy VII Remake Screenshots Compared to the Original Shows How Far the Game Has Come

Final Fantasy VII Remake is finally here and it modernizes the opening hours of the iconic PS1 game from 1997, turning all of those polygonal characters like Cloud and Aerith, into a brand-new light.

Needless to say, this PS4 game looks very impressive with some of the best visuals that we’ve ever seen. And because it’s been 23 years since the original game launched, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at older screenshots of the game and compare them with the new remake.

How did Sephiroth look in 1997? Well, he looked different that’s for sure.

Aerith

Aerith is the first main character that we see in the opening cutscene of Final Fantasy VII and it’s for a good reason too.

Aerith plays a huge role in the plot of FFVII and her character design in the remake is so well-done, giving her a gorgeous look that reminds us of how we all imagined her in our head back in the 90s.
