More epic and grand in scope compared to its predecessor. It's basically the exact gameplay formula of the first with all of its pros and cons, just now the stakes are higher than ever. It's a shame it's unlikely the story will receive a proper ending at this point.

Nomura simply cannot tell a story, seriously wtf? Still is fun to be in the ff7 world and have some expansion to the lore. Gameplay is SUPER fun too so overall its still a great experience

Best retelling of the story in a game ever without a doubt, as well as simple yet fun combat make for a decent game despite poorly implemented open world rpg mechanics

Rough around the edges and feels like an inferior prototype to Star Fox 64 in retrospect but it's still a fun and undoubtedly groundbreaking space shooter
