I’d say so. FF7 was always just OK to me, but Remake and Rebirth have been fun and I feel like I appreciate these characters a bit more now. Though these new ones do change up the story a bit.
Yeah, the '97 original one. I never cared for most of the characters and the story got stale after Cosmo Canyon. But worst of all, most of the mini games were horrendous (and most of them were mandatory).
Now, I like a good mini game, I like most Final Fantasy games, and I loved Crisis Core (the original on the PSP). So, I'm kind of conflicted. I would just play it, but I also have a backlog of games I want to play.
Only if you like a ton of mini games to preoccupy your time in-between every bit of story along the way. Also, if you like open world areas with very simple predetermined objectives for every region. Not to much to do in terms of exploration, mostly just hand holding to track down all the things then move on to the next. I loved it but I am sure a lot of people don't.
