This is the first Final Fantasy game I’ve ever beaten, and I’ve gotta say, I’m impressed. This game was beautiful, in pretty much every way. The story of Final Fantasy VII Remake follows Cloud Strife, an ex-SOLDIER, who is hired by this group called Avalanche who is trying to save the planet by stopping Shinra from draining the earth of Mako to power the city of Midgar, by destroying these reactors. Eventually, he meets Aerith by crashing through a roof, who agrees to help him with his goal. The story of the game may be divided into the first of three parts, but it still feels like a complete story, you meet five characters who join your party in the game, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith, and Red XIII, with more going to join in the next parts of this game. The gameplay was fun at first, but got pretty tedious. Even normal enemy fights near the end could feel like they were taking forever, and all of the bosses were a pain in the ass, not because they’re difficult, but because of how long they take. Overall, Final Fantasy VII Remake is an amazing game with very few frustrating or bad elements, and I can’t wait to play its sequel in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
