I played Final Fantasy VII and I quite liked it, even though it's very old of course. Nevertheless, I had fun. The story is great, the battle system is fun and I don't think there's any extra need to talk about the characters ;)
I used the Switch's Quality of Life functions here and there, which made things a lot easier for me.
However, the game crashed several times, even during the final battle!!! When I restarted the game, I had no more music in the decisive battle. No kidding! I had no music in THAT battle of all battles!
So unfortunately I had to finish the game with a drop of bitterness. But at least I've now played the original, one day before FF VII Rebirth comes out ;D

OMG! What a cute little game! I had a lot of fun. The puzzles are well done and the gameplay is simple and not frustrating.
Somehow it reminds me of Fable in style and the music is great too!

So the game was fun, but it also drove me up the wall in some places.
Positives:
- World
- Music
- Characters
- The story is very well told
- Many utilities in combat
- Quest guidance
- Atmosphere
- Stargaizers are fairly placed
- Before each boss fight, you can summon an NPC to help you (and I probably wouldn't have played through the game without it)
Neutral:
- Combat system (I'm not really a fan of parrying, but in this game you're forced to do it and it works more or less well)
Negative:
- Some mini-bosses are way too strong
- Most bosses have a second phase (I hate it)
- Your special attacks can be interrupted
- Some enemies have an infinite attack spam where you can hardly find a gap to launch a counterattack
I think that's most of the points. The game is a good Soulslike, but it's not a masterpiece. At some point I'll start a NG+ to catch up on the missing trophies, but for now I'm done.
