(Watched my friend play it) Love the combat, love the reimagining and the massive expansion from concepts/characters from the first 2-ish hours of VII. I am intrigued by the changes and don't particularly hate them but since VII is so old and most people aren't playing the original anymore, I do really kind of just wish this was more of a 1-1 remake, especially when the changes they're making assume you've already seen everything else in the comp anyways. If I were a newcomer, I think I'd just be confused why everyone hates Sephiroth so much when all he does is show up for 3 seconds, whisper sweet nothings in Cloud's ear, and then disappear.

Battle system rules from as far as I could tell, but I wasn't playing.
