The only time I really tried FF7 before was on an emulator many years ago. I think I got to the market before quitting, but it felt really dry and unmemorable. All the streets looked exactly the same, all the same night time scene. This feels way more alive and charming, day and night scenes, unique NPCs. Some of the environments don't have too much graphical detail but it's still an improvement over the original renders. Animations and voices are all awesome. Things like reactor 8 having a green color grading and 5 a blue one. Pretty basic but it made them feel really different. Can't really imagine where it feels lifeless, unless you're comparing to your childhood imagination/nostalgia.

Controls are kinda clunky but they work really well in practice and feel rewarding. I'll take that any day over the hyper polished MGSV and BOTW style controls that have smoothed out all the dimensions and play. This one feels like there's a difficulty curve and some mastery involved, which feels really nice. Worst things are non-combat controls like the huge turning radius, or the janky triangle interactions.
