really wanna try and like these games and i appreciate the concept of wrapping the entire compilation together but i just dont like it. these efforts result in scenes with cool references at best, and making strange contradictions at worst
this continuity sets up massive changes to these characters, I feel like aerith was resolved well but I just do not understand why these changes were made in the first place.
zack however was not at all resolved, im trying not to call it a fanfiction but i just hate this direction for him. why is he a fucking dimension traveler fixing up worlds, its the corniest shit i've ever seen
anyway this game has stunning but sometimes inconsistent visuals, but it’s got great voice acting that brings a lot of life to certain scenes.
however there’s just way too much content here, i think there’s certainly issues with the speedy presentation of the original ff7 but this continuity has just been overkill, i’m burnt the hell out after this game and i don’t feel satisfied doing everything because i don’t feel like it added very much. this is usually my problem with open world video games but i feel it tenfold here with all the minigames. I dont see myself returning to this ever.

playing this game without any grinding or meticulous team building was such a great time. it sounds corny but i feel like i briefly learned how to enjoy pokemon again.

then again, this game reminds me how fucking done i am with this series. scarlet’s been rotting on my switch for months and i just don’t feel that much love for new pokemon games, which somehow makes me feel self conscious of the connection i have to 2D pokemon.
its like an abusive cycle with these games where i feel like i never wanna play them ever to shooting them up like heroin. i hope next time i feel my pokemon phase come back i have enough self respect to play some spin offs i’ve been long putting off
