#I FORGOT THE AERTI TAG LMAO

FFVII Remake Playthrough 6

Overall around 25 hours playthrough, probably around 2-3 hours of it due to the PS left running while I eat. I wrote some mini reactions before but I’ll react anyway. I finished Don Corneo, went through the sewers, finished the Train Graveyard, Plate battle, and back to Aerith’s house.

All my FFVII Remake reactions will all be tagged #Danseru Review

Again: I’VE WAITED FIVE YEARS TO PLAY THIS BLOAT! 

The whole sewer and train graveyard chapters can be summed as Clerifa and Aerti fanservice. I don’t really mind those shippy moments, and I love them. But do we really need 3 hours of filler to get 5 minutes of goodness?

But Aerti is indeed cute.

The fanservice is so anime and to be honest, not a lot of people will actually like this kind of approach. It’s like how you write romance for teenagers. I don’t like fanservice scenes anymore but ultimately lacking in substance.

The sewers reminds me of that level in FF8 before my PSP broke down and I’m unable to finish it.

The Train Graveyard is probably the worst filler in the game so far. What’s about Marlene and the child’s ghost?

Also won’t the dead return to the planet? What are these ghosts? Maybe I forgot some elements in the OG but it’s established lore...

I really don’t know the point of the whole thing with Aerith and the ghosts. Yeah it has some sweet moments with Tifa, but there are literally a lot of better ways to have them bonding without needing a whole filler chapter for it.  

Apparently you can steal a good weapon from the Chariot boss but I don’t have a steal materia.

What’s the point of this boss fight??? Kill time???

Okay now plate fight.

Oh Biggs dies... AND SUDDENLY HE IS LINKED TO THE LEAF HOUSE!? Wow we totally need that sudden backstory before he breaths his last! This is like Masashi Kishimoto style minus flashbacks quality of writing. I’m so sorry that I don’t even feel anything.

What the heck is the point of the dementors again?

Aerith’s sequence in rescuing Marlene felt exciting at first until again they’re artificially extended by forced walls and long, lingering shots. Like the whole scene could have been done half of the run time. It’s also an illusion of control when you just use Aerith to walk a few steps then a new cutscene happens. Just make it all cutscenes!

Marle didn’t even try to help Marlene LMAO. 

Jessie oh, now I feel a little sad. Tifa is crying but when did they even have a conversation together? 

Rude and Reno boss fight is too easy. I like their dynamics though.

Tseng is hot. 

Ah some Cloti moments BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY DAMSEL PARTS

Why is Tifa always in despair? Why did they take out her backbone and need her to feel conflicted all the time?

Tseng in a monitor than in a helicopter makes more sense. This is what remakes are for, not for senseless fillers. 

The Tifa and Barret hug is actually one of the few touching moments. That kind of friendship is what we should have seen with Tifa and other Avalanche members too.

What the heck. Cait Sith!? Plate just dropped and killed a whole community probably, and you use it to show a new character designed like a plushie? 

GAY SEPH MOMENT

The Aerith flashback is very faithful. 

Tifa rant:

I’m not demanding for Tifa to have zero conflicts, but she’s mostly seen wavering and needing to be rescued/comforted at crucial battles like this. Like she’s conflicted in joining Avalanche’s activities, but then she’s also the first one to despair that it’s their fault. The contrast is terribly done now compared to the OG. In the OG, the more she is willing to participate, the harder the guilt. Now since she is half-hearted in everything. 

If I’m using a metaphor, OG Tifa is hot water turn lukewarm. There is contrast. In the Remake she just seems lukewarm all the time, with her old fire seen during the Don Corneo scene but not in the other scenes.

I just want the Remake to be over asap. It’s such a chore to play and I would not dare to repeat it. Five years for this bloated, farting, mess. All it had to do is follow the OG but nah, it doesn’t want to. It wants to put twists like dementors!
