This is the Final Fantasy that brought back the epicness, happiness, sadness I have been looking for since FFX on PS2.

Is it perfect? No. It has some parts I would like to skip If I will ever replay this game (the last 2-3 chapters).
Especially the "Highway Part"(to avoid spoilers) was pretty meh.
It also has some backtracking and sidequests that are there to strech the overall lengh. I skipped 50% of them.

BUT what the Game does really well is "the people" Aerith, Jessie, Cloud,... I care for them.
A feeling that I felt rarely when playing a Videogame.
Also the new Combat works totally fine for me. Sure.. heavy Boss Battles can become kinda trigger-heavy when you smash the same 2-3 buttons for 15 mins. But you can save almost every time you want as long as you are not in a battle or a cutscene.
And while we already mentioned the Cutscenes: Wow they are good. The Game Changes from cutscene, to ingame-cutscene to gameplay smoothly. If you know the Advent Children movie you get a good idea of the overall look of the Game.
Midgar and it's industrial look sure is no eyecandy but the Game somehow makes it enjoyable to watch.

I enjoyed 95% of my ~ 30 hours and I'm happily looking forward to Part 2.
