    I mean, you do you, but for anyone else reading this who is on the fence, I adore the 1997 original (and am in fact replaying it right now), and I loved Rebirth. Solid 9.75/10 game for me, with the only detractions being constant interruptions by Chadley if you’re doing a 100% run.

    The gripes about the story being changed and stuff just don’t hold up to me. The remakes are actually, by and large, very faithful to the original with a ton of fan service. They have some some new stuff with the remakes that I’m personally enjoying, and keeps me on my toes.

    If I wanted the exact same story, I’d play the original, which, I am lol.

      These new games actually make me like the OG FF7 more, if that’s possible. Or, at the very least, make me like the world and characters more since they aren’t just cuboid freaks. 7 was never my favorite of the bunch even though it’s the most popular, but I sure as heck spent 100 hours in Rebirth doing most of the side content.

      It’s a very good game hindered only by the fact they there’s not a minigame Square said “No” to.

        My partner was watching me play through Rebirth and commented on the number of mini games, and I said “honestly, that’s pretty faithful to the original too” lol

        Yeah there’s definitely more, but the original has tons.

          That’s true, but at least then you didn’t have to listen to Chadley before each one, ha.
