Final Fantasy 7 Remake had "no option other than a trilogy," lead says, since the "sheer volume" of the original PS1 JRPG was too absurd (www.gamesradar.com)

Fixed ;)

The trilogy has so much added filler content. Each of the games is almost as long as the original. So many mini games and such.

Some of it was good, but even the best of it was half-baked. I did all the side content in Remake, but still didn't find all the music discs, and if there had just been map markers, it would have made a lot more sense. The map itself was just bad. Never knew where I was or where I was going.

One bad part was when you'd stumble upon an area and nothing would happen. Then a guy would tell you there were some monsters there. You go there again and still nothing. You report back and they give you some more lore, and then you find the monsters in there. A better game would let you deal with them the first time you went, whether you had the quest or not, and then tell the quest giver that you already cleaned house and then get the reward (and maybe a bonus for doing it without being told).
