Best Stealth Game of All Time

Goated, not finished but mods are incredible

This is a playable late 90s anime with a terrible terrible English localization. Its a problem when Sephiroth is supposed to sound like an insane lunatic who's barely talking to you and the flow of dialog is so bad that it hardly ever feels like characters are actually talking to each other.

Very cool setpieces that will make you think if I was 13 and this was 1997 this would have blown my mind

2021

Guaranteed to get a 15-27 year old american marxist leninist to quote soviet propaganda at you, tell you that "Tankie" doesn't mean anything, and then immediately say that Stalin should have rolled the tanks all the way through western Europe.

Not quite as cool as Sigil 1, but am looking forward to Romero's Doom 2 WAD

Club Foot is a great song, and the little tweaks to the combat make this really fun.

Also seeing Mr.Scratch do a Patrick Bateman is fantastic

Very brave to have Aerith look at Sephiroth, look at Cloud, then look directly at the camera and say.

"Cloud, your psycho ex killed me back in 1997 and everyone knows it, lets not let that happen again"

Voice acting is good, but they left grunting and bits of Japanese dialog quirks that don't really work in english, so the flow of dialog is odd. You'll have perfectly decent line reads, paced very strangely. It kinda Ruins Jessie's death.

Somebody get Koji Fox off 14 & 16 and have him oversee all SquareEnix localization.

This is a game that rapidly Jumps between the coolest shit you've ever seen and a bad part of FF14 before Ishikawa took over for writing.
It deserves to be celebrated for having the best voice acting in the whole damn series, damn good music, and great setpieces.

YoshiP should have played GoW Ragnarok and delayed the game enough to add Character dialog during side quests.

Its Silent Hill + Evangelion + Ghost in the Shell + Robot Lesbians

Its pretty damn good

The combat is a ton improved in this, though deeper pulls at the end are confusing without a wiki dive.

Yuffie as a character is a delightful idiot, and her goofieness helps to avoid dialog feeling weird like it could in the base game.

Good mod with consistently great missions

Homeworld 1 is great with the Players Patch.
