I never finished the remake pt. 1 simply because I didn't want it to end.

Idk how you managed that I sped through it at launch on normal to take in the whole story then did a more deliberate play through on hard to 100% and master the intricacies of the combat systems which are actually really deep on higher difficulties . That being said I think stretching 5 hours of Midgar from the original to a full 25 hour game came with ups and downs. The biggest up was definitely getting all kinds of backstory on tangential characters from the original, Jessie in particular was a highlight to me she is like a walking thirst trap. They definitely packed that shite with nostalgia moments in beautifully rendered modern cut scenes and suprisingly kept goofier shite I though would never work in a modern game like the HellHouse fight which is bitch and a half on hard. The downs were it felt too long at times specially the side quest which other than Chadly all sucked. Even levels that were kinda cool like train graveyard from the original being reimagined felt way too long. A lot of people bitched about the final chapter basically separating from the OG timeline but I like it as it gives them the freedom to tell a new story instead of just the same one we all know. The Yuffie Dlc is where the game hits another gear though and really shows square is invested in this from a creative standpoint in both story and gameplay as it expands on the materia load outs and combat mechanics with how she handles. With the next games coming on Ps5 I’d be shocked if they can’t finish it in 3 parts.

Agree about the sidequests. I wanted way more sidequests in the open world section of the game, but I would settle for the ones they did have being more interesting/fulfilling. They made FFXV’s side quests look good.

Agreed about some levels being too long. Hojo’s lab was the worst. I thought that level would never end. I actually loved the train graveyard.

I’ve still got the PS5. The exclusives are too good

What are the best PS5 exclusives? I doubt that I’m going to be able to afford to invest in a PS5 any time soon (thinking about getting a backwards compatible PS3 or a 360), but I probably will get one eventually for Final Fantasy.
