Final Fantasy 7 Remake - my first impressions

[Middle Class Caveman 980]

I got my deluxe edition on Monday and have played the first two chapters.

 

1. Wow, it is gorgeous. The graphics are what this game truly deserve

2. The character development starts from minute 1, lots of pay off for older fans too

3. They deviate away from the original content very quickly - you can see that we are going to go down the same vein as the original but new characters are introduced quickly.

4. The new battle system is enjoyable, you can play the old classic turn based way if you'd like and just enjoy the story but i've chosen not too

5. The new summon material mechanics are interesting - essentially you get 1 summon per character but they don't just turn up, do a move and leave. You can control their abilities for a little bit similar to FF10.

6. Barratt sings the victory fanfare sometimes after fights lol!

 

Anyone else got it???

I think thats the best new thing i've heard since launch, fuck the gameplay!

 

I think your point 5 is the only one i'm unsure of because there's a lot going on when you play in the mode where its dynamic including ATB. How do they work in Classic ATB only mode?

 

Great to hear its so good so far though. I'm looking forward to trying the new mechanics as much as seeing all the awesome cinematics.
