A perfect blend of reimagined scenes from the original, and completely new content. This game expands so much on the FF7 universe, and it's an amazing time experiencing it all the way through! The exploration of the open areas makes the game so much better than Remake, as it allows for more freedom while playing and is what makes up an amazing gameplay loop. There's a ton of great character moments as well that flesh out the cast so much, making them probably my favorite in any game. Just like the original there's also a ton of great minigames, my favorite easily being Queen's Blood. Getting to reexperience some of the best moments in FF7 in a whole new way made this journey something special, and reminded me why I've always held FF7 close to my heart. While some of the new story content might not sit well with all players, I was fine with it for the most part. Easily one of my new favorite games of all time!
