Final Fantasy VII Remake (again)
Still have massive issues with the Kingdom Heartification of it all but there are large parts of the game which are brilliant. Midgar was never my favourite and they do bloat it beyond all recognition (every dungeon in the game is about half an hour too long) but the bits where the action stops are the best single player Final Fantasy has been since what, XII? Maybe even X? The whole stretch of chapters with Aerith are probably the most consistently good part of the game, minus the crane puzzles. The soundtrack’s amazing too, even if I do wish they’d gone for more synths than orchestra for some specific tracks. Some of the original tracks are great too, the one that plays while you’re with Aerith after escaping her house is as good as anything from the main soundtrack.
Was it the game I hoped it would be all those years ago? Probably not. Do I think the game would be just as good if the narrative changes were completely glossed over like the Resi remakes instead of it being some sort of weird sequel? Yes. Rebirth has the potential to be either much better or completely balls it up, there really are only two ways this can go. It’ll probably be a while before I get round to it though.
@nessisonett It could have gone either way for me, as having not played any of the Kingdom Hearts games I didn't know what to make of the Nomura stink that came with it. I almost hated the direction the game took, but ended up loving it by the end lol. Probably the hardest part was coming to terms with not getting a straight up remake, but eventually preferred not exactly knowing what to expect next.
