Good game and a good port! I actually get the hype (I still find 6 to be better but whatever). The story was cool my biggest problem was just that...Sephiroth is NOT as present as you'd expect him to be? Don't get me wrong he is the driving force and the main villain and very cool. But I kinda expected him to be here at every turn honestly. He's...around. Doesn't talk much but is cool. The gameplay was a standard Turn Based RPG, nothing special. By the end of it it became just summon central and I actually enjoyed that a fair bit, summons are sick. The quality of life features in the port were good too. I always had 3x on, and the booster feature came in clutch during grinding or whenever I had to redo like 3 phases of a boss fight I had already beat. I accidentally kept it on during the final boss at the start, and I won on that run...but it wasn't really bc of the limits so it's ok. My party at first was mainly Cloud, Barret, and Aerith until...yeah. Then it was Cloud, Barret, and Vincent. I only maxed out Barret and he may be my favorite RPG character in terms of stats that I've ever seen. Awesome weapons, a tank that you can use as healing, and then can lay on crazy damage. I loved him. I had a good time! Excited to experience the rest that this world has to offer.
