I actually liked this a lot, which surprised me since I wasn't the biggest fan of Remake. Maybe it's because I like Yuffie more than the Midgar cast, or maybe it's because Square wasn't trying to stretch the story out more than they needed to, but I surprisingly enjoyed the story. Without going into spoiler territory while still wildly speculating about a game yet to release, I like how they gave Yuffie a much stronger motivation for eventually joining up with Cloud's party than the one she had in the original FF7. Also if she's even half as fun to play in Rebirth as she is here, then it'll at least be a pretty decent game based on combat alone.

If the moogle hoodie isn't an optional outfit in Rebirth I'm going to riot.
