This review contains spoilers

I knew Weiss would be in this based on the trailer, and although I had my reservations I decided that I could probably jive with him so long as they keep that emo Vincent ripoff whose name I didn't care to remember away from it. Yet, when he did appear, I was screaming in joy, to the point that Nero is close to the best part of this experience. Imagine managing to make Deepground cool. Good golly Final Fantasy VII Remake. What a special project.

It once again makes me question why the heck the Whispers are a thing. Majority of Final Fantasy VII Remake is presenting a unified edit of the original that integrates Compilation concepts into the setting, in order to make a version of the Jenova War that synergizes with all the controversial sequel content while also severing the 1997 game's ties to all that came after. The game itself seems to wish that the Whispers weren't a thing...so why were they? They hold back the potential so much.
