Final Fantasy VII reviews

While i give the game the highest rating on this website, its still an 8/10 for me.
If it weren't for that ending i would probably say 10/10 because the effort involved with the first 95% of the game, is incredibly detailed and fantastic.
I dont know what to say, i mean the original game is still lightyears ahead in terms of comparing the two but the strong points of the FFVII Re-imaginion (not remake) are clearly the amazing depths to the characters, the graphical upgrade obviously and the battle mode. The game also includes new game plus and plenty of challenges and things to do.

Spoiler alert:
Honestly i wouldnt criticise this game at all if it weren't for Nomura's stupid time travel, alternate timelines/universes ideas and how burned out the man is from doing so many projects for Squeenix. His desperate attempt to ruin Kingdom Hearts and adding that ingredient to this game as well, which was painfully obvious since they released it last year and he hasnt caught a break since, is too prevalent in this game. It doesn't belong in FFVII and the game is perfect until that ending where you're thrown into Goku/KH3 fiesta bullcrap with a Darkside boss etc. But he still hasnt ruined FFVII but he could very well do that now since Zack and the Avalanche gang will all most likely be revived, Aerith might die in a different way than usual but Cloud will time travel and save her with Zack or something (Which obviously would suck)

There's so many ways that looks like Nomura is gonna annihilate the FFVII project, just like he has done with Kingdom Hearts after 2010.
The worst part is obviously that Dragonball nonsense prevalent in KH where no one can die and people that were actually dead or hidden were all brought to life because of time travel and empty vessels addition, that there is no risk anymore, because only the bad guys might die, thats just his plan to do with each storytelling he apperantly needs to be at the helm of.
And i was afraid Nomura bring something like that to FFVII, which he has already introduced which is very concerning.

Anyway that being said, everything else is incredible and i cant wait to see the next parts, it looks like the Whispers have been destroyed which is a great thing, only thing they did was tone down the experience of the amazing cutscenes. Best FF since 2006, been quite some time since i was this impressed, now particularily where there hast been a good KH game since 2008 or something, its quite refreshing to see Squeenix still accomplishing something this big.
Too bad Sakaguchi wasnt more involved though, see that would've been the best game in the last 20 years on the planet.
