Really awesome first part of the remake for Final Fantasy 7!!!
I was playing the first hours of the highly anticipated remake of the game yesterday together with two of my best friends - and I was really diggin' the new battle system, was totally blown away by the pretty much enhanced storyline and the really great atmosphere - couln't even leave out the casual conversations of the many NPCs in the lively Midgar and of course I've examined the detailed areas for hidden objects (already found a kinda hidden key item like a Moogle Medal in the first reactor mission - can get it if ya don't leave out any destructable crates) and easter eggs.
But I'll take a few days off, get some sunshine for not going to play through the whole game within a few days or weeks, and I'll continue the game rather on the rainy days.
It's because I couldn't stop playing the game throughout the whole night until 7 o' clock in the morning - although I didn't even want to play the game on a separate save file without my friends - but it was really dragging me into the amazing world of Final Fantasy 7 once again.
For this masterpiece, I've even transferred my little studio monitors Presonus Eris 3.5 from my studio environment to my cosy console gaming corner (also ordered some stands for keeping the speakers there) with my bigger LED TV and the PS4 - because the outstanding soundtracks, the sound effects and the whole audio atmosphere are soooo good that it would be a radical waste to enjoy this game only with the integrated LED TV speakers.
The remake 's a really outstanding experience if you can handle it not to rush through the whole game, leaving some time for the atmosphere, the whole bunch of details and exploring the quite large amount of possibilities the game has to offer - even at this early part of the remake without the open world map.
Enjoy the remake of Final Fantasy 7, dudes...
... like an excited Golden Retriever would enjoy playing an excited Golden Retriever. ))
