finally got around to playing this before rebirth releases and yep this is a good game. very good prequel to ff7 giving context to how cloud got to be a soldier and gives an early look of sephiroth’s motivations. sometimes the plot got pretty confusing (mostly because of genesis) but i was still very interested throughout the duration of the game. music was banging as always, and the combat was very fun. the DMW provides a unique way to give the player unique abilities to quickly change the outlook of a battle. the character cast is wonderful as always, seeing characters like cloud, tifa, aerith, yuffie, and the turks before the events of ff7 was absolutely wonderful.
