action is decent; pretty similar to ff16 tbh and feels good to play even on the switch. shame about the levels, pace, writing, performances, cut scenes, etc. not to mention the utter lack of WHIMSY which really defined ff7 for me tonally; the awful zack humor is not cutting it i’m sorry. game basically sucks whenever you aren’t chopping up 100 guys. the aerith levels…god. and even when you are fighting the amount of essentially empty corridors it makes you walk through between encounters can be insane. at its best as an action experience when replaying levels or doing side missions but the main story wasn’t inspiring me to spend more time with the game than was necessary to roll credits so i didn’t do much of that. the way it handles the very last beat is kinda interesting, tho, i’ll give it to them there
