This game was so fucking good and then they drop the ball HARD at the moment it counts the most when Aerith dies. 5 or so fakeouts just removes the tension completely and the wording for when you retry the final boss sucks and made me go all the way back to the first phase. There are also WAYYYYY too many minigames, you don't need 50 minigames with one for each lil thing like c'mon it gets way too tiring after a while. The movement in the overworld is kinda iffy and some characters like Yuffie just feel worse than in the previous game but holy fuck what a good reinterpretation of the original world. Exploring Gaia in this game feels amazing, seeing what they made out of the original flat polygons look is jaw dropping. Entering Cosmo Canyon almost made me tear up from how beautiful it is. The MUSIC too goes fucking CRAAAAAAAAZY and i'm so excited for the ost to drop on streaming. What they did well they did AMAZINGLY and what they did badly dropped the ball so hard.
