Final Fantasy VII Remake

THIS GAME IS GREAT, but it is not perfect.

This is not really an RPG in the sense you don't really get much opportunity to level up since it follows a fairly traditional action game (stage 1, stage 2, etc...). In the places that you are given a choice to "grind," it is not worth it since the enemies give so little experience points and you have to leave areas and return for the enemies to revive.

There is still some customization involve but it mostly deals with material as opposed to stats, since stats are generally gain to a certain extend. I wish you had more opportunities to explore the city but you don't really get that. ONCE YOU LEAVE AN AREA, THAT IS USUALLY IT. You don't get a chance to go to that area anytime you want.

The camera is ok for the most parts but some battles can get really clunky, especially if the enemies are in a small area or if they are flying. The camera will just go all over the place.

The biggest issue is that the story really doesn't go anywhere, it is just a setup. The Midgar section in the original FF7 was around 3 - 4 hours long only, there is not much story there, just a set up. Square Enix took that and turned it into a fun 30+ hour game. It is not a spoiler but it literally ends when you leave Midgar so yup.
