Both and the original allow players to take a companion on a date at the Golden Saucer, and ’s new scenes are one of the best examples of how it improves its source material.
Part of this is due to how and handled the relationships between Cloud and his party members. A lot more time is dedicated to building their dynamics, with new scenes and missions that better explore these relationships.
I hadn’t originally played when I got into the remakes. Without any nostalgia coloring my view of the original, I was slightly disappointed when I sat down to play it.
I had reasonable expectations for the visuals and scope of the world, and I was pleasantly surprised by how exciting the turn-based action was.
However, I was a little disappointed by the story aspects of the original game, which is something I thought would hold up the best over time.
