So I recently played final fantasy 16 and to be honest it was decent at best. Ended up returning it. So as a huge final fantasy 7 fan. I beat the original one on PS. Probably nine times, and then replayed the PC port and put a hundred hours on it. I also played final fantasy reborn. And thought that was a really good game. However, while playing this game I asked myself the question. If this wasn't final fantasy if we didn't have nostalgia if it wasn't a game that I bought because I played it from the past and it's a remake. Would I be playing this game? And the answer to the question is no. Probably not. It's so repetitive with the fighting from jrpg. It's just a copy and paste. New characters but exactly same system for everything. And for some reason Sony decided to switch random things up for no reason. It's like you could have just kept it consistent. I don't know. I gave this game a seven and I'll give it four stars just cuz there's really nothing bad about it. But there's really nothing great about it and most things are just decent. Also, I always enjoyed the grinding of fighting in the original. And this is like you have to literally seek out fights. As much as I want to sit and watch people talk, I would rather just watch a movie on Netflix which wouldn't have costed me $40. I don't know. I think if you never played the original you would most likely like this game better. Or if you're really not honest with yourself about how good this game is which it's not great. But it is good, and it adds a bunch of stupid stuff.
