Players consistently cite excessive and repetitive mini-games as a major source of frustration, often disrupting the main story and feeling forced or mandatory. Additionally, poor optimization, performance issues (e.g., crashes, stuttering), and unfair or poorly balanced combat mechanics (e.g., boss difficulty, unresponsive UI) further exacerbate the negative experience.
The game fails to meet expectations due to its excessive filler content, repetitive side quests, and lack of meaningful rewards for exploration. Players also express disappointment with the story's pacing, disjointed narrative, and deviations from the original's tone, as well as technical issues like poor PC port quality and unmet graphical expectations.
Players highlight the engaging combat system, ambitious world design, and narrative innovations as key sources of excitement. The expansion of the *Final Fantasy VII* universe, including new areas and character interactions, along with the game's soundtrack and visuals, contribute to a highly immersive and enjoyable experience.
Satisfaction stems from the game's improved story and gameplay mechanics, particularly in the latter chapters, which are often described as excellent. Players appreciate the depth of character builds, engaging combat, and the emotional impact of the narrative, as well as the overall value and quality of the game despite its flaws.
The refined combat system, reimagined story moments, and well-designed mini-games (e.g., Queen’s Blood) are frequently mentioned as enjoyable aspects. Players also appreciate the exploration, visuals, and character interactions, which contribute to a fun and engaging open-world experience.
