I beat this and got the platinum on ps4 but figured I'd just write it here because I also played Intergrade as well.

Final fantasy 7 is what got me into JRPGs back in the day when it came out on the playstation and while I don't think the remake is better then the OG game I feel it holds it's own as a fun title.

You know it's odd they had a real chance to add in fishing but didn't? How fucked up is that? Any-who hellhouse was fun to fight as an actual boss and for a good amount of the runtime I was wondering where hellhouse was you know?

Because that's what you should be thinking, feeling, and asking with your VERY soul! Because it's hellhouse! What a fun fight

Also to be real for a moment graphics don't make everything but seeing some moments with the new visuals was pretty cool- like with Motor Ball at the end of the midgar highway or fighting rufus which ended up being one of my top fights in the remakes because of how cool that coin toss was.

Also that 3rd verse on jenova dreamweaver was super fucking cool even if the fight it's self was kinda lame. Oh and not making RedXIII playable did feel like a bit of a copout due to how you did gain control of him in the OG game in the shinra building.

Overall I do think the game has strange pacing issues like during the graveyard bit and how it adds another boss for some reason even though at that point in the story the plate is about to fall so I think it was just to much.

Wall market was fun but I don't its going to be as iconic as the old wall market but that dance was sick.

Any-who not to make this to long the remake is cool but you should really play the OG game as well because it's the whole story even if the next part is going into different story stuff. Well worth the time and like more then half the cost of the remake

Oh and playing as yuffie was a hoot but it did sort of stink just staying in midgar but hey there's always part 2, right?
