Spoilers
Major story changes and can only take place after the original has already happened. It's a retread, but a sequel nonetheless. They explicitly said in interviews and such that it would be a faithful remake (despite additions).

Better to have a conclusion of some kind, I think. That's a rare treat these days.
I'd say it was my least favorite rather than the worst, but agreed. For one thing, the ATB is super slow. It also would have been nice to have a little build customization like Materia/GF. It's neat to have set jobs for more character flavor, but maybe a little choice would have been nice. Also the final boss was silly.
FFXIII was best on its own and should not have been a trilogy, but agreed.
Cold take, I know, but I think FFVIIR is a falsely advertised sequel.
I don't know if I'd quite go that far, but VIII is hella underrated.
That was the first Squeenix entry?!
I've been playing Horizon Forbidden West. Beat the main game and am in the DLC now. Pretty good, but would recommend not going super completionist on it. There's just so much.
Oh, by the way, you don't have to play Machine Strike to fill out all your passive skills. Heck, I've maxed out several valor surges too. You can comfortably skip it if you want.
When you see some bars or a broken door that you could very easily crouch or sidle through
I'd have kept playing if you didn't have to do so many multiplayer raids.
Well, now I'm starting to get it.
