Fuck you hurt. Padding lame ass design choices forced walkies and some really lame levels. Clouded by the most emotional highs I've felt in some time and hype I've been exposed to. The characters sell this hard (except Jessie) and I just fall to my knees when I hear any music from this. The remake does some exceptionally triumphant things and moments I'll never forget and thank fuck is it highly replayable. Materia is so much fun to mess around with and the combat with its flaws is highly rewarding and challenging. I've replayed it 3 times now and I still very do love this 7/10 so much I can't help but be a little kind to give it a 8. There's some modern design elements I really loathe in this and it's in it really common. And sometimes I feel like a certain part or two can really kick the motivation to keep playing. But I eventually always push through cause I love avalanche. I love this world. I do love final fantasy vii remake.
