Comment on Did anyone really think the Final Fantasy 7 remake was better than the original PS1 version?

I finally played through the game on my PS1 a few years ago. It was fantastic. I wanted to re-start and play immediately. Conversely, I have played the first few hours of Remake four times now and give up. I don’t like the combat. I don’t like the story. I don’t like how it has changed into a bog standard quest log type thing. I even tried to play again just a few weeks ago.

It’s funny because I liked the combat just fine in Final Fantasy XV. I like the real-time stuff. It’s not what I expect for 7, but it beats when you’re on the open world and you’re trying to figure out where to go and every 3-4 steps it’s a fight. It’s disorienting, and frankly poor game design — one of the few faults I have for a game I love. The turn-based is okay, not my cup of tea, but I don’t mind how FF7 does it.
Another thing I didn’t like about Remake was the music discs. The music’s already not great, why do I have to buy it? Then, I scour every inch of the game and still I miss a few? I didn’t even wanna go back with the chapter select to get the achievement, though I may later.
