I’ve taken tons of new screenshots while making progress in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. However, I’ve been on a long break from Rebirth, spending more time chilling with Oblivion Remaster instead.

I’ve made peace with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It feels more than obvious that Tetsuya Nomura is probably introducing alternate timelines. Maybe that’s why I don’t find anything Tetsuya Nomura does interesting, and I don’t know how much of his hand has erased the identity of the classic. Which, fine by me, I’m still enjoying some of the moments in the game while also questioning some of the decisions.

There are absolutely cute scene moments that I do appreciate, and a more up-close-and-personal shot on each character gives them a bit more depth. I just think a lot of the dialogue between Hojo, Cloud, and Aerith shouldn’t have happened, and I feel like the narration gives away a lot of what Cloud is going through.
