Yes, I'm the kind of guy who played FFVII when it came out and now, on the future, tried this sequel to the saga.

I hated almost every minute of it. Despite cool graphics, good music, ... what the actual fck is this gameplay? You have to study a lot to learn how to fight properly and boost your characters and at the end... the game adapts its difficulty to your level! So, why fighting? What's the point? On VII, you didn't need to know all the secrets of Materia to have fun! I've actually beaten it two times and there are still things that I don't really understand.

Combats are slow, the animation of the characters and their reactions seem heavy, not dynamic at all.

Then suddenly you're playing with other characters and here you are again learning the backstory of a completely new set of characters when you were on the middle of something, and yes, it's impossible to know how to properly boost their abilities too, but who cares, it's pointless.

And then there's a stupid card minigame with a lot of rules that at the end is also pointless, but I can care a lot more about betting cards than the actual fck I can give about the characters backstories.

So you could be playing that on a Gameboy.

Don't think I'm going to know whats on the CDs beyond the first one ever.
