Try and give it a chance again when you have the time. The hype surrounding the game has the potential to ruin the experience for some, ignoring that would help in enjoying the game for what it is: another great entry into the FF series.

I had to give IV a second chance, which I tried to get into after I played VI but just didn't like at the time, despite how great I was being told it was but a couple of years later I played it again and had a lot of fun with it.


The materia system does need fixed and tweaked, but NOT overhauled. It can work, but it has some flaws that need work.
I feel that what hinders somewhat the materia system is the lack of difficulty of the enemies you face. If the enemies were harder, things would be better. Alternatively they could increase the negative impact the different materias have on your stats so as to balance things out a bit.


If Square pissed all over a remake of my favorite one (which they didn't, THANK GOD!), I would be very pissed off and feel betrayed. It would take me a lot to bring me back to buying their games.
I would certainly be very disheartened if they messed up VII in a remake...it would be such a wasted opportunity and they would have ruined what is to me their best game to date.


For a bunch of VII fans, the graphical improvements and voice-acting alone would justify purchase.
