the combat and character models are stellar, and they clearly got the attention they deserved in a remake of this caliber. however, there is too much effort put into this "reimagining" of a story and characters that worked better almost thirty years ago. there's no reverence for what made these characters good, trading them for horny caricatures that wear upon any remaining goodwill one may have for nomura. the dungeons go on far too long, and the environments and skyboxes are often so hideous and poorly-constructed that it honestly broke my immersion. wall market was great
