I'm planning on replaying it soon before the next one comes out.

I played and finished FF7R at launch but haven't done a second playthrough since.

Battle system is a 10. A few details kept it from being a 10 overall l, but theres potential and Rebirth is looking spicy

It came out at the right time for me. I loved ninety percent of it hated ten percent of it. The ten percent I hated was every time the fate ghosts appeared.

In the og midgar is like 1/8 of the whole game

But if we're being honest it's one of the most interesting settings too so I didn't mind the first game just being that

Yeah, that plus a significant part of the OG script is in that part, so it does make sense to make it an entire game. I didn't mind the "filler" at all apart from the second sewer visit.

idk its hard for me to justify such a high rating for a game with an unfinished plot, but if you dont mind then do you.

I had a really good time playing it then I beat it and it was like okay and? Nothing felt resolved, because nothing is resolved yet. I didnt play the game until this year so at least I dont have to wait as long as the diehards have had to

It's not a 10 for me because there are some really slow parts, but in terms of gameplay and story, it does everything I wanted to see in a remake/modernized FF.

General tweaks to movement and attack speed such as the dodge materia is now a permanent fixture, attacking after dodging with Cloud changes his close-ranged attacks to ranged, aerial combat is more approachable, three customizable party loadouts you can switch between at any time outside of combat, and of course the Chrono Trigger-esque dual tech system.

Yeah, that also reminded me that they added a perfect block mechanic that stuns the enemy if you time it right.

I haven't played the Yuffie DLC myself, but I saw a playthrough and she looked really fun. Also gives you a taste of that dual tech system in Rebirth with Sonon's role. I think the DLC lasts about 5-ish hours? Maybe more, I forgot.

Yeah, the DLC lasts a few hours

But if you like the Fort Condor mini game, it turns into like a 12 hour experience.

Theres almost too many to list, but at the top of my head

- Everyone's basic moveset is expanded without losing stuff. Smaller stuff like Remake Aerith's Unique ability is now a part of her basic combo, and it does her fairy ATB move, too
- Some materia like deadly dodge and parry, is now a part of everyone's moveset
- Everyone can perfect guard like Yuffie does in Intermission
- Cloud and Tifa have attacks that send them straight into the air. They can also use ATB in mid-air
- The non-cinematic team attacks are free and build ATB, some are utility based
- Cinematic team attacks are powerful,flashy, and have different utility, and according to a interview, there might be a Cinematic for every 2-person team combination, including whos leading (Cloud/Tifa attack might be different than a Tifa/ Cloud attack)

Its just looking like a straight upgrade, which is pretty rare

7R is my favorite of the bunch gameplay wise. After that I like Stranger of Paradise over 16 with 15 in last place. Storywise I also prefer 7R but all of the action based games have been worth completing for me.

I'm at the drag part and I honestly find it all a little weird. Not just Cloud walking around in an ugly dress and being hit on by numerous thirsty dudes, but the interactions leading up to that. Some of the voice acting is a little cringy too. I guess that's normal for JRPGs.

7.5/10.

Tell us how you feel in the last 15 minutes or so.

Even I gotta say the game kinda lost me at that part, and I LOVE 7R.

It was a good game but had too many walking simulator sections which artificially extended the length of the game and were frustrating to play through.

My complaints:

- aerial combat is really bad

- boss phase transitions can ruin limit breaks or summons

- being able to use summons didn't happen enough

- too many sidequests tbqh (most were really boring)

Tifa, Yuffie and Aerith really outshined Barret and Cloud combat wise. It's not even close.

My chief gameplay complaint is some ATB abilities totally wiffing, sometimes due to minimal or no fault of your own.

I'd be okay with it if you register no damage on any enemy, it refunds like half the amount you expended, because sometimes you'll go for Braver and just miss or Cloud won't execute immediately and the delay is enough for the enemy to move.

It could also be remedied by (certain) abilities only being able to be procced within a certain distance of the enemy so you're guaranteed to at least be within range. Or by forcing your character to face the enemy, least if you're locked on
