FF7 capitalizes on an existing story that was pretty ok to begin with by adding in ridiculous plot elements that either make no sense, or come across as shameless retcons.

	The game is... So unabashedly padded with constant nonsense. Even if the slow-walks and narrow passages are just used to buffer loading times, it can get excessively cumbersome.

	The battle system is like what FF15 should have been. Engaging to some degree, but not too complex to the point that you end up tripping over a bunch of inane mechanics. It's good at masking its own simplicity with moves that make you feel like you're really taking part in the combat. The Boss battles almost never fail to impress.

	Regardless of anything the first game did right, the future of the FF7 Remake series looks absolutely [i]abysmal.[/i]
