Changes in the plot are mostly a big minus, one of the most important moments in the game is completely stripped of its meaning thanks to tragic changes. I can recommend the game only for its brilliant graphics, open world, many cool mini-games and great soundtrack pieces, although only those that contain musical motifs from the original. The rest is very average. Graphics: 10/10 Soundtrack 5/10 ( hard to rate in this case ) Story: IT'S A MESS/10 ( it is good as long as it follows the original plot, but when it introduces new changes, it's mostly garbage. I only liked Dyne story changes I guess, they did him justice ) I strongly recommend playing the original before you even consider to play this. Original is still the GOAT. After the original you might also want to play FF VII Crisis core - it's better than this "remake/rebirth"

This game is the worst in the series. I've bought it soon after its premiere and I've regret up to today. It might even be THE worst video game I have ever played. Not only that, but it destroyed my beloved franchise. I have no hope for any new good stronghold games.
