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)

To me the selling point of the remakes is literally just the music for walking in some damaged road or something, up a mountain, and following a dog. And the transitions from normal to battle and back. The other tracks are pretty good with the nostalgia boost but not amazing if you aren't already invested in ff music. I also got a kick out of playing with jap audio and not recognizing the voice actor for red until the return home scene and being like "it was this fucking guy the whole time?!"

The rest was kinda disappointing and had a bit much jank for such a large title. Lots of terrain modelling and traversal issues, quests not up to modern quality of life standards, 'fuck right off' level achievements, and I could be misremembering but I swear yuffie had more polished ninja-feeling animations in part 1 dlc compared to part 2 especially when climbing where everyone seemingly got some shared generic 90s console level animations. Also just the disjointedness between the two currently released games.
