my biggest complaint is the music which is by no means bad but uses certain songs in a way that it diminishes the emotional impact those songs had in the original
but like for example i never expected to hear the main theme used in this game because the first time you hear it is the first time you leave the city and the emotions there are HUGE and using it for running around the slums instead sure was a choice
extremely minor nitpicks only i probably care about because of how much time i spent playing the original as a child and just absorbing that soundtrack lmao
i usually play games on easy because i generally don't care enough about the combat to be bothered by it but it's fun enough that i am playing it on normal
i like that i can put it on classic and have it auto-attack if things get hectic but i can still control it during the times i want to whoever designed that deserves a raise
okay tonight was a motorcycle sequence and then we infiltrated a warehouse and there was a big long battle and i'm starting to get the hang of the combat
for some reason it never occurred to me that this probably contributed to my radiation horror fixation because i've always thought this shit was neat especially since it's definitely souls too lmao
also i can't believe they're like "jessie's dad could get sucked up by the reactor" like lol i'm assuming this is a somewhat out there thing to believe in which is why she's an eco-terrorist and people know it in the slums because avalanche probably spreads that around
in the original the plate fell more or less in one piece and the camera watching as the sky fell really stuck with you and you felt that and this was just framed very differently and i felt like it lost the sense of scale that it had before
like yeah the plate is falling it's a big deal but it's telling us more than it's showing us by watching it break up into pieces and then pulling back to show it from afar
credit where credit is due tifa has been my least favourite character in all of video games for years i absoliutely hated how she was written and they completely changed my mind
whoever designed that deserves a raise
"they will... after an accident"
especially since it's definitely souls too lmao
"jessie's dad could get sucked up by the reactor" like lol

shinra sure hates redundancy in things like support pillars
