Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Twin Pack (Nintendo Switch)

Squaresoft in the 90s had a hit ratio that I don’t believe any other developer has ever been able to repeat. Final Fantasy 7 exploded on the PlayStation in 1997 and changed video games in two huge ways: graphics and story. Arguably one of the first, if not the first, mainstream video game that can be called “cinematic”, Square used the power of the PlayStation to show off what console gaming can be and solidified Japanese-style role-playing games as the gold standard of the RPG genre. Square also made waves by breaking with Nintendo, their traditional publishing partner for Final Fantasy 1-6, after infighting over disc gaming vs cartridge gaming (Nintendo wanted to stick with the less powerful cartridge and Square disagreed, opting to partner with Sony for their console’s increased power vs the Nintendo 64). In an ironic twist, this version is cartridge based and on the Nintendo Switch, so we’ve maybe come full circle on the matter after the initial split 27 years ago when this game was released.Anyway, this game is still a masterpiece and should be considered a mandatory play for those wanting to school themselves on the history of video gaming. It continues to earn its position as one of the most important games of all time. The version is the European Switch remaster paired with Final Fantasy VIII. It looks great, runs amazing on the Switch, and I need to go back to my original version but I believe the translation has been slightly updated for the better. The weakest part of Squaresoft’s games in the 90s was their English translations. The translators Square used were awful on top of working with completely unrealistic timelines to translate the games, making a perfect storm of mediocrity for those of us who don’t speak or read Japanese. This game is no different, leading to one character in particular being portrayed as a horribly racist caricature. I’m happy that seems to be slightly better in this translation.I know I’m clouded by nostalgia, but the game is fun, the music still hits in ways that underscore Nobuo Uematsu’s place as one of the best composers in the world, and I love these characters and this world more than a lot of real people I know, so it’s as near to perfect as a piece of media can get.

Both great RPGs, played them back in the day and on modern platforms as well, got a Switch and had to order it there as well, they run great so far, definitely recommend picking it up for people who are into RPGs and loved these back in the day.

I remember playing these on the PS1 when I was young. I was searching for the remake on switch (if there was) and this came up which I thought was better. Its a great price for two classic games.

It's great, good quality, seems to work fine!

It plays like a charm.

Sadly it is not formatted to fit tv screens appropriately. The game is still a classic

Final Fantasy VII is one of the best - if not THE best - video games I've ever played. I bought this simply to add that game to my Switch game collection. I've never played VIII but perhaps I will someday. I'm sure it's good as well.

Muy buen juego tenía años queriéndolo comprar, no sabía cómo vendría el juego si los dos en uno o con código de descarga, solo los dos juegos en el cartucho

Chegou em perfeitas condições, entrega internacional demorou certa de 1 mes e meio mas pelo valor valeu apena

Il gioco va subito quando la scheda fisica viene inserita nella Nintendo Switch anche se rimane sempre disconnesso dall'Internet. La versione del gioco Final Fantasy VII è 1.0.2_5, e quella del gioco Final Fantasy VIII Remastered è 1.0.1_5. Quando lo Switch viene connesso all'Internet al conto di Nintendo, Nintendo dice che tutte due sono le ultime versioni. ATTENZIONE: la lingua italiana NON è disponibile nel gioco Final Fantasy VII, ma la lingua italiana è disponibile nel gioco Final Fantasy VIII Remastered (inoltre tutti due giochi hanno le lingue inglese, giapponese, francese, tedesco e spagnolo).

Sjuk mycket FF för pengarna. Inte klar ännu. Spelade 7an först och halvvägs genom 8an. Men så skönt att ha dom på switchen.
