Critics were divided on the narrative changes. Jason Schreier of Kotaku said that new characters may initially be "baffling" but "all serve either to help develop the main cast or to add life to Midgar itself", and pointed to sections in which Cloud visits Jessie's house as an example of the "delightful additions to the story", enhanced by due to the "top-notch voice acting and stunning views of Midgar". However, he noted that other changes "aren't all great", drawing attention to the sewers and the Sector 5 tunnel as examples of dungeons that were originally a few screens long, and can sometimes take an hour to finish in Final Fantasy VII Remake, thus feeling "tedious".

Many reviewers praised the atmosphere of Midgar, and the graphical fidelity. Tamoor Hussain of GameSpot called it a "stunning depiction" of Midgar,[20] and Chris Carter of Destructoid said Midgar's atmosphere "wins out as the true pivotal character" of the game, for giving players a " context for the city and the class-based politics that define it".

Cloud and his comrades escape the city of Midgar in pursuit of the fallen hero, Sephiroth. As they travel across the world, they find themselves on a journey that will decide the fate of the planet.

Sephiroth kills Aeris by impaling her with the Masamune. Cloud is enraged, but Sephiroth taunts Cloud, telling him he should not act as though he has feelings.

She finds Marlene and the two have an instant connection, but as she leads the girl out, they are stopped by Tseng, the leader of the Turks. Aerith agrees to go with him in exchange for Marlene's safety.

The story and scenario writer, Nojima, also added that stopping the game at the end of Midgar would also allow for an adequate amount of story scenarios to be put in as well. Nomura further final fantasy vii added that level designs would have to change again after the party leaves Midgar. If the developers were to do that, they would also have to split up other scenarios and even if they add new gameplay, it would have to end in an abrupt point of the story. That's why they felt that if they had everything focused in Midgar, they wouldn't have to split up any of the story elements that happen there.[51] Scenario[edit]
