This is a remake that pails in comparison to the original in many ways but it is still a great game and one of square enix's best in modern years alongside dq11. It has great combat and very fun boss fights. Great presentation all around with strong artstyle and another godlike score from Nobuo Uematsu. However, FF7R has dumb plot elements such as time ghosts(whispers) and unfun padding(seen most egregiously in chapters 10 and 11). FF7R is a fun time that I would recommend to fans of action RPG games but I feel the plot and pacing are bastardized by the episodic format and some odd storytelling choices.
