It's no secret that Final Fantasy 7 is my favorite VG of all time. So when I heard about this, I had to have it, the question is, is it worth the time? Well for one, it's a new way of not only telling the original story, but it adds two prequel stories, Crisis Core and First Soldier so if you didn't get a chance to play them before, now's your chance. More stories are on the way coming soon, time will tell when they appear. The graphical style is a new touch on things, a somewhat squat cartoon style for the field and story parts, but the battle and cinematics are a real treat, they used the graphics from the Remake! That's right, almost so real you'll see the gleam on Cloud's sword, the definition on Tifa's arms and abs, Red XIII's fur, and so on. The gameplay is a brand new style as well with more emphasis on techniques and spells than on the traditional turn-based mechanic of old, even limit break combos! It's not without its flaws though, the main storyline is trimmed down a bit, some plots points are taken out, and above all it's a gacha game meaning it will relentlessly hound you to buy something, but if you have the willpower to resist you should be fine. The main storyline alone would have given it a 7/10, but the additional stories, enchanced gameplay and using the Remakes graphics boosted it up to a 9/10. If you're fan of FF7 you need to get this, you'll be glad and it's free too!
