A great combat system, great visuals, and a phenomenal soundtrack... But Square Enix butchered the story and flipped off people who wanted an actual remake. This is such a big "Fuck You" to everyone who thought they'd get a proper remake -- all because of the absolutely garbage writing, and the worst ending I've seen in a game ever. The writing went completely off the rails at the end and didn't fit in with the rest of the story at all. This is just Nomura going batshit crazy again because no one at Square Enix keeps an eye on him.

So much disrespect to fans of the original who wanted a remake, and not just pretty versions of the characters in some alternate timeline bs.
