Meh. Mostly filler, forgettable

User Rating: 4 | Final Fantasy VII Remake PS4

The good: The battle system does a good job of blending live action with turn based. Could have used the Gambit system from 12.

The rest: If it weren't a spin on FF7, it would be a mediocre game. As it is, the game is mostly filler with pointless side quests. The pacing is awful with no sense of urgency, and the music, one of the most memorable aspects of the original, is barely noticeable. The changes to the story are contrived and nonsensical. There's no All materia. Each character has only 1 limit break.

Basically, it's the FF7 equivalent of Star Wars Ep 7-9.

As a diehard FF7 fan, getting this after 23 years makes me angry.
