What an 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 game. Man. I really love Zack and his story but it's packaged in and around such a WEIRD story and not that fun game. Combat is better in Reunion but still nothing to write home about. Performances while being true to the original VO direction are rough and downright comical at times, although I do appreciate the commitment to the bit. Story throughout the game is nonsensical scribbles until about half way when you start to care. Genesis sucks, Angeal is tolerable. Zack absolutely rules, Cissnei is great. Returning characters like Sephiroth, Aerith and Cloud are done justice. The scene near the beginning of the game in Wutai with Yuffie is CUTE AS HELL. Music is also VERY mid 2000's but I have a soft spot for it. Obviously that ending. Dude.

All in all a mixed bag with more good than bad but still got enough bad to notice. BUT, if you like FF7 even a little you should be playing this.
