![]() For those as familiar with the original as I am then there are so so many small and large elements to kick up your nostalgia. I would akin it story path wise more to uncharted 4, than to say the Witcher- there is player choice and an interesting world to explore- but it is not open world. There is plenty of choice of approach too- not just one method to beat someone or something- as well as varying small elements through player choice though we all meet many of the major story beats. You have to actually consider equipment, skills and materia in this. The gameplay (especially battling) has the welcome element of challenge and a really decent variety- in normal and hard. The voice acting is absolutely amazing, even from third party characters of passers by- there is nothing that annoys me more than screechy terrible voice actors constantly yabbing as you wander through an area- but in this they all talk about relevant (game) world matters and its really interesting to catch some of their conversations. From the intro to the outro I found myself occasionally just amazed with how well this game all fits together- and the music is the glue- I will be downloading it after writing this review. ![]() From a graphical standpoint, never have I felt so happy to have invested in a pro and a 4k tv- and this is from someone who thought that when I played God of War. ![]() Elements that needed fleshing out have been- there are no unnecessary elements (only side quests/mini games if you want them) and the finale is absolutely outstanding. Without ruining anything- yes- it has changed things- but only for the better. I will be replaying this game for a long time. Needless to say (as my opinion is in the title)- but this game is incredible. I was even tempted to not preorder after having my faith in the series shaken since FF12. Needless to say I was worried square would mess this up after FF13 and FF15 (at release). When the original released there were not many games of its scope, its wackiness, its maturity or its willingness to play with themes ahead of its time. The original game means so much more to me than nostalgia- as it does to many people.
