Fetch quest is way worst in FF7... That cat side mission is one of the most stupid things ever.

FFVIIR or XC definitive edition
- Thread starter Prometheus.

FF7R definitely. It's a more focused experience.
Have you played Xenoblade?

Xenoblade is pretty damn good but it's so slow. It picks up the pace in small chunks but gets so good when things get revealed. The feeling of exploration really is amazing but could be really overwhelming especially if you want to find everything. Also, battles sometimes take forever especially if you fight higher levelled people and there's a lot of it. I kinda got tired of it towards the end but beat it.
Gotta play XB2 after and if you can get over the anime junk, it gets really good especially the latter half of the game with the last chapter being really mind blowing and the game is even better if you played XC1
Also, the music is soooo damn good for both of these games.

I've only played XBC on the 3DS but uh...that's a really bad point to make against FF7R
It's just ridiculous. It's those people who don't even have a PS4 and no intentions to play FF7R suddenly weigh in because they were fixated with negative threads about FF7R. Absolutely useless opinion.
It's literally a minute or two max of the game. You seriously saying 1 minute of gameplay ruins a 40 hour game?
Na it's like FFXV where there is a loud vocal group that love to shit on the game but the rest are positive on it.
I can't speak to FF7R, but if you enjoy RPGs that emphasize exploration, XBC definitely scratches that itch.
I haven't played Xenoblade but FF7R is amazing, a really awesome remake that is basically how to treat a rereleased AAA title.
Final Fantasy 7R has a lot of padding that bogs it down, so be aware of that. Can't comment on the first Xenobloade game as I never played it yet.
... It's a fetch quest. There are hundreds in Xenoblade. There are many subjective things about these games but objectively Xenoblade has wayyyyyy more fetch quests.
Despite how many people's recommendation of XCDE OP still say 50/50,
which means that, to my understanding, OP actually wants to play FF7R more.
I honestly think OP should play FF7R first, then play XCDE,
so maybe OP can appreciate how much better game XCDE is.
and after that, play the original FF7.

Definitely Xenoblade 2 first, considering its the better game, and will likely hold its price for a very long while.
FF7remake is going to get price drop in the coming future, so why not play Xenoblade 2 and then pick up the discounted FF7remake by then. Make more sense.

The op was asking about XC 1, not 2 I believe.
Which is a good thing because xc2 is a largely mediocre game.
Honestly based on this I would play ffvii R if I were you. You know you liked the demo and the whole game is much better than the demo. The combat system keeps getting better. Skip most side quests they are absolutely not necessary (and you don't miss story beats). It has some issues and the ending divides fans but the game is overall wonderful and if you like the battle system in the demo odds are you will love it in the full game.
Xenoblade is a better, more complete game, not in the sense that Remake will be followed up on, but more that I feel that the sum of Xenoblade's parts is more wholly engaging/interesting than the sum of Remake's.
Remake does however have significantly better combat (easily) and spectacle (but it's close).

Ff7r is anime as fuck and a large part of it is 3 women fawning over cloud
Ops, i made a mistake. Still, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a masterpiece too so picking it up before FF7,is still the better decision. Hundreds of hours of gameplay including sidequests and engaging world and characters.
Have you seen the reviews for "the other game"? pretty sure it compares which is why this post was made, to begin with.
He's giving his personal opinion so not sure what you prove by pasting a screenshot from Metacritic.
I don't think you thought that one through.
I played FF7, the padding was unbearable.
The number of times you fall through floors to have to get back up, or a simple task requires activation of a lot of random things that makes no sense just to waste time, and you get stuck in a shitty corridor dungeon is absolutely unacceptable.
OH QUICK A TEAMMATE IS IN DANGER? LET S G- aaand we fell again.
OMG THIS CONFRONTATION IS SO SICK I CANT WAIT TO S- aaaad we fell again.
It got old very very very fast, didn't help like it felt like the whole game is designed like a corridor outside of the little hubs and the amazing honey bee chapter.
The original has such an adventure game feel to it and I feel like this was absolutely mauled in FF7R.
And that's not to say the game doesn't do some amazing things but padding is definitely one of its worst shortcomings imo.
That depends on what you want, Xenoblade is definitely a bigger and more expansive game with more content... but then again a lot of tathhe content is fairly repetitive. Also there's the combat which is definitely NOT for everyone, so I think FFVIIR is a more sure bet if you nevetr played Xenoblade before.
