I really wanted to like the remakes.

Playing the FF7 remake felt really dated in terms of a lot of things. After playing God of War and others, the cinematics felt cheesy and less cohesive now in FF … I didn’t care for much of any of the voice acting. A lot of the side quests didn’t fit “in world” to me. The heck do I care about some lost kittens? Not sure what’s going on with the “ghosts”. I didn’t like the combat and found it annoying. Which is strange because I enjoyed FF15: The backstreet boys edition and even Guardians.

On the positives, I felt if I could take a screenshot of any part of the game and sent it back to the younger version of me … My mind would be blown. I’d just stop the game several times to just admire the scenery and the look.

spoilers!

Fighting Sephiroth so many times felt odd. I felt it feel off story-wise.

Everyone loves FF 7 remake and all that and I know I’m in minority but it put me off Rebirth. I’m happy other people enjoy it now though. I just wish I was one of them.
