I feel like some people just say this out of spite because they don't like that the game was remade. My dude you spent 35 hours on this game. Who are you trying to fool?

It's Act 2. Just chill and enjoy the silliness and roam around. Or rush through it and try battles in hard mode
Six is just plain better. For me that's the last good FF game.
Did you play the original OP? Have anyone here but me play the original and beat it? I am playing Remake before starting Rebirth I thought it would be a continuing of the original story am I wrong.
Remake the battle system is okay except for summons. I preferred the original for that.
I just beat it yesterday. Took me about 115 hours but I enjoyed most of my time in that except for the last bits of side content which I thought weren't balanced that well. I think it's definitely a polarizing game but if you like it then it's probably the best Final Fantasy game to come out in the past 20 years.
If you're not enjoying it though then just drop it. It's just a video game at the end of the day.
How do you spend 35 hours on a game you aren't enjoying??? My dawg value your time more
Hope dies last.
I ain’t so far into the game (around 10 hours and arriving in Junon), but I ain’t so fond of the story telling. The characters are clearly caricatures with the silent shy guy (cloud), the nice strong awkward guy (barret), the naive cute lady (aerith) and so on..
I guess the story is also difficult to reinvent and might be a bit stuck in the 90’s. I’m still clearly enjoying the game so far, but storytelling has moved on and it doesn’t come close to a masterpiece like Last Of Us 2 in that regard.
Still the world is enjoyable, the gameplay too (although I preferred the original combat system) and it’s good to play something naive from time to time too.
I felt similar about the Remake, it was... Just lacking something. I never played the original so my connection wasn't so strong, I just expected more.
I wish it was a real remake, not this call-back alt-universe Meta mess that it is
Haven’t played either remakes, but I feel like the brevity (and, at its time, novelty) of the story/scenes in the original made them a bit stronger. Some of the dramatically lengthened scenes have kind of undershot their impact.
Plus, with text speech and tiny gestures from 3D models, your mind was filling in the details your own way, which could actually work well sometimes.
That sounds like how I remember FF7 being.
Is this game a clone? It's definitely a clone. It's not a clone. It's maybe a clone. Is it a clone?
That's FF7.
Yeah exactly, the middle was always pretty empty and aimless.
it’s a different game entirely; just a retelling of the same story. def understandable- I also didn’t like the gameplay but stuck with it to see what the story differences are.
