Like most Final Fantasy games, Final Fantasy VII doesn't fall short of any action and RPG elements from its core gameplay. Like most JRPGs, the main focus of combat seems to be party-intensive.

While switching from one character to another and synergizing each move, Final Fantasy excels due to its addictive combat. So it goes without saying that the Final Fantasy VII Remake has left a mark on fans of the series and newcomers alike.

One thing to note here is that Final Fantasy VII does have a 'Classic Difficulty' option which can tone down the speed of combat. It is directed at more casual players, who want to spend time with their characters inside more turn-based combat.

It will be interesting to see how things play out for the famed title, as there is no shortage of Final Fantasy fans on the PC platform. From XV to Lightning Returns, players across the world have been waiting for this celebrated title to finally make its mark on PC.

To wishlist Final Fantasy VII on the Epic Games Launcher, players can simply head to the official client, locate the title within the store, and select "Add to Wishlist" within the game's page.
