Conflicting feelings of presented a game that is Final Fantasy VII, but NOT THE Final Fantasy VII. However, I’ve got to say, the team here smashed out a solid remake that does some… interesting things? Not bad, just really unexpected. And all our favourite characters are looking IMPECCABLE, Cloud has never looked so fucking hot. There is that continuity of awkward sexualisation of female characters, but not as bad as I’ve seen in other JRPG’s. The combat feels new, inventive, yet familiar and challenging, something hard to find in modern games. My biggest eep is that this is a trilogy, which damn, I’m going to be in my late 30s by the time these are all released. Also, definitely some filler content which isn’t horrendous as I’ve been seeing other people make it out to be, but still obviously there to extend the gameplay. Solid release.
