Just finished the main game for the FF7 remake. It was worth it for the nostalgia. Some parts of how it was lengthened was good but the side quests felt a little empty. I liked the battle system enough till the end when it wanted me to be way better then the rest of the game. kind of happy it had an "so easy it plays it self mode" but a shame I suck so bad I needed it.
