Final Fantasy 7 Remake and it’s dlc are pretty fun and I throughly enjoyed my time with it with a few caviats but for now I’ll stick with the positives.
The story and gameplay loop are a blast to do and since this time around it’s a new twist of the original story and added bits that weren’t there from the original, I think they did it right although if this were the case calling the first part of a 3 part game Remake is misleading but I digress. For an ARPG, it really is fun to try out new mechanics and while Classic mode exists it tends to take a ling time to finish a battle so I recommend people to play it how it’s meant to be played. Playing as Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret and Yuffie were a blast especially with Yuffie sho’s own game mechanic is the best among the 5 and since I haven’t played Rebirth yet I wish sorely miss it because I have more fun with Intergrade’s gameplay loop comparative to the main story. With the positives done I have to go through the negatives.
The only issues that I have with this game is with it’s pacing and level design, with the mew story bits added to the game and the reimagining of Midgar there are going to be issues for having what is a 5 hour long chapter of the original game into a 30+ hour reimagining of the game there will be padding and wonky level design and that’s the case for it here. There are a lot of unnecessary story bits such as the train graveyard and the later parts of Hojo’s lab have unnecessary padding to it as it does break the pacing of the game of what it’s suppose to be time sensitive and major event events that noticing it can make it a drag to play on repeated runs and some of the level designs of the game felt as if it is meant to pad the game time and it does show through the sewer sections of the game and Shinra’s tower as a whole. I forgot to mention it but the side quest (if you could even call it that) are outright boring but at least with Intergrade I do love the little mini game side quests.
I believe that this game for what it is, a very good game that a lot people both old and new fans of Final Fantasy 7 can enjoy this game and I’m very excited to play Rebirth
