So I own and beat the version on PS4 when that came out a few years back but decided I'd give the updated PS5 version a spin since they made a few changes and I wanted to play the Yuffie DLC. The 2nd time around was still a good time. It wasn't short but it felt like I was burning through the game on Normal. I wish there were more free-roaming open areas with side quests and stuff to do like that but its mostly a linear experience with a few chapters allowing for a little more leeway. The DLC was harder than the main game and took maybe 4 or 5 hours to see it all. Yuffie plays pretty different than the characters in the main game so that kept it feeling fresh. I'm pretty excited for what comes next in the series though. I'd say this is a good starting point if someone wanted to check out the series without having touched any previous games.
