Absolute masterpiece.
The second game in the FFVII Remake Trilogy was nothing short of a brilliant piece of art. From the world, to the gameplay, to the soundtrack, to the minigames, to the characters, and of course, the story. This game offered so much to do and it was everything I ever could dreamed of.
There were multiple parts of the game where I had to pause to soak in that this wasn't a dream, it was real and it is actually happening.
Each region being expanded on such a massive scale was incredible. Every area felt like it's own little world and game with so much to do. The side quests actually felt like mini stories instead of meaningless tasks. Paired along with all the minigames, and trust me there is a whole lot of them, makes you easily dive eight hours into an area before even touching the next main story piece.
Gameplay blows Remake out of the water, like Kingdom Hearts 1 into 2 in terms of the changes. Every character was fun to play as, especially with the amazing combos you can do with synergy skills and abilities. Paring characters up with certain materia to just make them unstoppable machines was so fulfilling.
The soundtrack was great! Those remixes paired along with original songs added so much to the game, just like Remake. I can never get over the one they used for a certain side quest, absolute banger.
Story was phenomenal as per usual, the character focus was brilliant. Each character had such fantastic representation, seeing how far they've already come and what they've been through in this journey. The voice actors did such a great job, everyone felt so real. Their banter outside the serious moments and even in serious moments were hilarious I love these dorks so much. So many moments that left me completely speechless, which forced me to take a break for a moment. I'm not afraid to admit I cried. The ending, without spoiling anything, left me an emotional wreck. I sat there watching the credits in my chair still not fully realizing everything the just occurred. THAT is how you make a masterpiece of a story, and we aren't even finished with the story as a whole yet!
This is what I wanted, still can't believe what I just played was even real. Playing this right after Persona 3 Reload was something I needed. I can't wait for Part 3 of this trilogy because I know it will absolutely be a once in a lifetime experience just like the first two games. I know they got something amazing cooking for us.
Thank you so much.
