Great to own for any fan of the game
While the latter far exceeded my expectations, the plot actually surprised me as to how good it actually was. I thought it would be kind of a crummy one, what with cloud sporting a mobile phone and such, but it turns out to even almost approach the original game's enthralling story.
The English dubbed voices are actually pretty well cast as well, far better than some of the Japanese voice acting. Especially in the case of Barret, who's Mr. T es-que voice doesn't quite come across in Japanese but is on the nail in English.
It's a really worthwhile buy for anyone who is familiar with and loved the original game, but because of this not many other people who wouldn't be as interested in the original game will definitely not appreciate or follow the story.
like FFVII, then its essential.
