I can't believe they did. They actually went and did it. The mad men at Square actually remade Final Fantasy 7 (kinda).

After years and years of anticipation, after mistaking that PS3 tech demo for an actual remake, after replaying the original at least half a dozen times, it's finally being remade and I couldn't be happier.

While large swathes of the game are kind of a tedious grind through monotonous side quests and annoying puzzles, the game still manages to shine through an phenomenal combat system and it's amazing cast of characters.

It may have been 20+ years since the original, but the creators of this game still understand every nuance of the characters, and the way they've expanded them and their relationships is incredibly heart-warming and exciting.
