This remains my favorite Final Fantasy game to play. It's so impressive how well the developers were able to combine elements of free 3D movement and action with the original Active Time Battle system, and I love how Remake combines the Materia system of VII with the ability learning from equipment of IX and the upgrade system of X but applied to weapons to make every weapon remain viable.

It's very tricky to do meta-narratives well but I really do enjoy how Final Fantasy VII Remake builds off of the original Final Fantasy VII and parts of the Compilation to create something new and exciting. The dialogue is so good and makes these versions of the characters my favorite, and the new versions of the old music as well as brand new tracks are fantastic.

I'm extremely excited for Rebirth and the future of this crazy story.
