This game was amaze-balls.

To make this thread less spammy, how many *really* old people such as myself that were around for the original liked this game better than the original? Better graphics is one thing, but I actually liked the expansion of the story and characters.
I've been replaying the original. It doesn't hit me the same way it did when I played it years ago. Remake definitely has the advantage over it in every way. I will kick, punch, and bite anyone who complains about the length and the potential length of the sequels.
Honestly if they keep this up it might actually compete with the original for my favourite game of all time. I've not yet finished the shinra building though, and there are still future chapters to come. We'll see. I really like how expanded it is and improved it is in a lot of ways though, so far at least.
LB, spoiler-free... It gets intense and post Shinra building was what made the game for me.
Merc... I will say that I was surprised that the game hit me in the feels the way it did considering I've been through the original countless times before. Kind of like the long lost girlfriend that you never quite got over and suddenly get a second chance at. I'm trying to figure out a way to hold onto Aeris!
Don't even talk to me about ex-girlfriends. My emotional loop-de-loops will put you in a straight jacket right alongside me.
Not-really-joking aside, I do still want a remaster of FF7. I've always hated having to rely on the PC community mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to have to swap on their code for the original. I just want Square to do it up official. They don't need to make the FMVs fancier (but please make them skippable) or add voice acting. Just basic stuff like updated character models, background filters, maybe transparent text boxes. What was I talking about?
