No, this is not the Final Fantasy 7 remake that recently came to PlayStation. All the characters retain their original block-handed sprites, and the only major differences between the Final Fantasy 7 game available now via GamePass and the original are a few extra options that will make the players’ Final Fantasy experience more enjoyable: the option to toggle random encounters on and off, a 3x speed mode, and a ‘battle enhancement mode.’

Battle enhancement mode is essentially a god mode, rather than using something like the battle system used in the FF7 remake.
It’s increasingly apparent that gamers are into the nostalgia factor of certain titles, particularly ones whose franchises are still going strong. A game doesn’t need to make use of the latest high-tech graphics options available in the latest-gen consoles to be engaging and fun. There are plenty of gamers out there who would argue that the original FF7 is better than the remake for just that reason.
Players who are impatient for Final Fantasy 16 should be able to keep themselves occupied with this classic RPG staple until Square Enix releases more information on its upcoming title.
Final Fantasy 7 is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
