From a 3000 foot perspective, this game was Mario Party remixed with Final Fantasy 7 storyline. I get it, the ongoing nature of fighting they didnt want to make it so that people get bored, so instead they made simple fighting concepts and added a bunch of minigames in it to keep it interesting. But by doing so, it really watered down the functionality of playin this game.
Massive repetition of map tasks. The struggle of completing the Genji summon was the worst reward. Bahamut is a stronger summon and felt too easy to obtain versus the Genji. the storyline with the jokes was just sooo corny.
Whoever is in charge of scripting character development needs to be let go from Square Enix as that person is a huge cornball. Like the jokes were so bad, you can tell they were all old man dad jokes. The game is not open world, its very linear with the illusion of an open world. The fact that you couldnt play as Cid nor Vincent was a major turn off.
The menu system was just a fresh coat of paint but the worst functionality was swapping materias between characters, what a long tedious process. the menu > bestiary was one loooong page where you had to go one by one and find the enemy you was researching.
The summons from the original game is such an epic part of the game as well as weapons, but this game watered it down. The storyline is very beautiful and super emotional. The sound remixing between dialog and sound effects and music was horrible. so whoever the sound engineer was as well as the testing team, they need to leave SquareEnix.
Whoever composed the music needs to leave too, they watered down the original sountrack which made the game truly epic.
Queensblood was absolutely awesome.
Super great card game, except for the trumpet guy who goes wild mid card game. Tifas Fighting mechanics was not thought out properly. Very low connection with her. Aside from this, would of been nice seeing them wear other types of clothes aside from just their swimwear. Barret Popeye the sailor man was the funniest. I liked how Tifa and Aerith were best friends, their relationship was very nice. RedX voice change to Sonic the hedghog was wild.
It was never explained as to why he changed his voice. Item transmuter was unnecessary. The shops were pointless. Had over 100k in Gils unused for no reason. Currency meant nothing in the game. Creating Ether should not be difficult. Buying Ether should not be difficult. The attribute of Luck meant nothing, found no value. No secret bosses, no secret loots of strong value. I know this is tons of negative things, but the original game is so epic that they missed out on so many things just to go hard on the story and graphics while watering down everything else.
