Just beat the game, 116 hours according to my PS5. Yeah if you do the math I've basically been doing nothing else the past 11 days... didn't even do the final sidequests because I wanted to beat the game/see the ending.

Loved this game and you can tell it was made with a lot of care. Loved most of the changes they made (Costa del Sol best chapter??), they nailed all the characters, like it was just a constant joy throughout... for the most part.

I hid all Rebirth topics so I'll probably go unhide and read through them sometime soon, interested in seeing people's experience and whatnot & as people continue to make their way through something so mammoth especially relative to Remake. Want to get my fresh thoughts down right now that maybe i'll take back later (but maybe not)

(full game and ending spoilers)

First, fuck that fucking final boss sequence. Like every phase of the sequence had something wrong with it, but especially the last part made me so damn mad. And it's one thing in Remake to have a variable final boss where 2 of your 3 teammates can show up, but you cannot properly outfit 6 side characters on a first playthrough. Looking forward to buying and maxing out a ton more materia in newgame+!!

Man I really really loved this game until it went off of a fucking cliff starting with the Gold Saucer date where I got Red XIII. Like that's what I get for being nice to everybody and doing all sidequests, I dont remember doing anything particularly nice for Red but checking the final playlog and he had 92% to 89% for Tifa, damn. Then the Temple was extremely tedious and not-fun? not what you would like to see in a final dungeon?? and then everything really felt rushed towards the ending.

Overall loved the game so much, it's just frustrating that everything from the Temple onwards being not great, has me feeling down on the whole experience when I was flying high for like, 108 hours.

Well looking forward to replaying, looking at the trophy list to see what I missed out on, and start the 4 year countdown for the next game... ideally not longer than that and hell I'd take it sooner!
