I decided to playthrough this game recently as I wanted it fresh in my mind before Rebirth's release, and while it does have flaws, Final Fantasy VII Remake is still a fantastic game and one I highly recommend if you haven't played it already. Since this is taking a section of the original title that was only around 5-6 hours long and expanding it to be the length of a full game, It was inevitably going to have some filler content. Even if some of these parts are fun from a gameplay perspective, they serve little to no purpose in the actual story. But that's really the only complaint I have with FF7 Remake, Basically everything else about this game is top tier! The new combat system is very well designed and I feel it should be the main one used for the series going forward, Even though I love the gameplay of FF16 I definitely feel the combat in 7 Remake fits the series a lot better than Devil May Clive. The characters were handled very well in Remake and they feel a lot more like their counterparts from the original game as opposed to how they were in the Compilation. The ending of the game is peak as well (along with an absolute banger of a credits song) and I can't wait to see how Rebirth will expand on it, Overall Final Fantasy VII Remake is a phenomenal Action RPG and one of the best from the 8th Generation.
