So... after 185 hours of pain, happiness, sadness, anger, hopelessness etc... I finally managed to attain the prestigious Platinum trophy. :)
I'm gonna say this first and foremost. After experiencing this and everything the game slapped at me, I think TheGameAward's GOTY 2024 is a j.o.k.e. And I'm gonna stop there as it is no secret that I'm a bit biased with SquareEnix and Final Fantasy franchise. :)
As I have mentioned on my first post about FF7 Rebirth, I had this game with me for a year before I got to start playing. The reason being is that I wanted to start this and focus on this alone. I do not want to play this while thinking of other games I'm excited about as I would end up rushing. I'm glad I didn't.
I want to recommend this to everyone but I dont have the face, the voice, nor the 'convincing power' to gaslight/lure anyone into trying this out. haha. So I'll simply say: Guys, try this out. If you can play or have already played FF7 Remake, that would be better too as this is the sequel.
Mini-games! Yes, minigames can be frustrating if all you have in mind is to finish the game quickly. These games are meant for you to enjoy. Succeed or fail and try again. Granted, not every minigame is for everyone. I personally enjoyed Queen's Blood.
Chadley's Combat Simulator! Uhhh. no, let's just not talk about it. Please, I beg.
This game easily became the hardest, most-fulfilling Platinum trophy chase for me so far..
#1 FF7 Rebirth
#2 FF7 Remake
#3 KH
Best Girl -- Tifa Lockhart. Yes, you can love Aerith, and that is fine.. just leave Tifa alone.
Funniest! -- Yuffie. Dude, Yuffie's random humming/singing always make me stop and just listen. It's hilarious.
Scariest monster -- Tonberry King. Just... don't come near me please.
Sexiest monster -- Ohh that fine fine smexy spicy Great Malboro-chan.
Most dangerous summon -- ZANZETSUKEN!! damn you Odin.
Sephiroth -- Hahh.. crazy dude with a 20m long katana.
Cloud -- ...weak.
There are extras worth mentioning.
Kyrie -- she's crazy but she brought comedy at least before Yuffie came along.
Angel of the Slums -- Her story was from FF7 Remake, her quick appearance here.. I think she's really cool.
Priscilla -- The dolphin girl, think she's sweet little lass.
Marlene -- of course.
Cissnei -- Aha, Aerith's rival. hohoho. Cool lass.
If there's one thing I can suggest, maybe more outfits. It doesn't have to sexy... like Suits (like Turks'), or a tonberry outfit or something. Make it a paid DLC, it's fine, it's optional and just cosmetics.
GG Squee! Looking forward to the 3rd one. My vote is that it'll be called FF7 Reunion. hohoho.
