Also while the ending is divisive they absolutely knocked it out of the park here with the characterisation. There are a few plot hole-y things from the original (ex: I always wondered how Tifa isn’t openly suspicious of Cloud for all of disc 1) that are handled so well and the relationships just feel way more believable
Remake and Rebirth are gonna age remarkably well as time goes on and people distance comparisons of the source and the "Remake trilogy." There's so much fun and creativity here, it's really at that level of peak squaresoft we haven't seen since FF6-FF9. And depending on how part 3 nails the new narrative twists, the trilogy could be an all-timer, honest to god
I sincerely doubt putting it on series X would make it sell ten million more copies given that the series x sold half as many units as the ps5 and the game is way too big for the ps4 to handle
Wish I could see what other people see in this. 20 hours in, haven’t done many side quests even, but most of the main story line itself has felt like goofy, extraneous fluff, so full of detours and digressions I couldn’t even begin to describe what this game is “about.” Been a real slog so far and I don’t know if I’ll bother finishing it.
the digressions and side quests and goofy fluff are a significant part of what the game is "about." it's a 90s jrpg with the polish sophistication of a 2020s Western AAA game.
