Music is fire, Midgar looks incredible, seeing these characters with modern graphics is cool as hell, even some new ideas are kinda interesting... this game could have been great if everything else hadn't been so goddam wrong.

A walking simulator nonsense, a shitshow of unnecessary filler, every fucking thing in this game overstates its welcome, consistency in the whole destiny stuff is conspicuous by its absence, insufferably kingdomheartish cutscenes and dialogues with the subtlety of a brick in the head.

The ethical and political plotline about ecoterrorits fighting a distopic government? Wasted. The Shinra building sequence and the mistery surrounding Sephiroth? Ruined. What we got instead? A hundred scenes of Sephiroth so we don't forget that Nomura fucking loves Sephiroth, I swear it's like a kid showing you a toy that he loves. At least I respect that they altered the story of a cult classic, try to show something decent in the next game.
