This is the definitive way to play this game. It retains almost every single aspect from the original apart from the combat and graphic overhaul but also adding dialogue to every cutscene in the game. That doesn't mean this remake is free from issues. Zach's voice actor while not bad is definitely a downgrade from Rick Gomez in the original, a lot of the animations are stiff and recycled and not nearly as fluid as the animations in the Final Fantasy VII Remake. With all that being said, the pros definitely outweigh the cons here. The combat and gameplay loop is great, I never found myself bored out of my mind with the combat and missions as the combat system is fluid, sharp, fast-paced and all of the animations and effects while in battle are very good. Soundtrack while good, does tend to get a little annoying due to how much they are recycled throughout the game; The main theme is by far the most recycled. The best aspect of this game is by far the story. It beautifully expands upon the secret backstory cutscenes you could find in the original game from 1997. Zach is a charming character who never fails to put a smile on your face. Angeal, Genesis, and Sephiroth are all good supporting characters and Cloud is awfully wholesome to see as a shy dork before he turns into an edgelord in the first half of the original. I'd highly recommend playing this version over the original as it offers everything from the original with the enhancements to the combat and graphics. Me? Gongaga.
