Genuinely one of the best gaming experiences I've had if not the best. I have so much to say about the massive scale of this game and how awesome it is in every aspect.

1. The story. FFVII revolves around a group of resistance fighters battling against a corrupt government that plans to exterminate the natural resources for selfish needs. Along with that, is a higher being who is eager to become a god after realizing his capabilities to do so. Basically, political ideologies with hints of science fiction fantasy about alternate worlds and reality.

2. The gameplay mechanics. FFVII Re series have a unique turn based RPG system where you use a variety of character abilities and spells. I am in love playing with FF7R because of this. There are so many combinations you can use and it's just so much fun to spam stopping time and play.

3. The graphics and animation. It's Unreal Engine which is very self-explanatory. Everything looks great. The visuals from character designs, cutscenes, environment, and UI are flawless.

4. The open world aspect. Although not a complete open world game where you can fly, climb, swim underwater, and do real life human stuff, it is still such a step up from the previous Remake. Exploration may sometimes feel clunky but at the end of the day, it's easy to navigate and learn.

5. The soundtrack and score. New and old soundtracks incorporated. Whatever you do and wherever in the game you do it, there is a distinct sound played.

6. The fanservice. The dating, the relationships, the outfit changes, Tifa and Aerith, Zack crumbs, Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind teaser, the ending, and of course Cloud's personality. I won't say much except... if you know, you know.

Overall, you can really tell Square Enix put their heart and soul into this game. The expansion of one of the most beloved games of all time is well deserved. And SE did it with justice.

And just like that, like Sephiroth, I too, am waiting.
