It took me several attempts since release. It's a great remake with some epic moments, the visuals are beautiful, the ATB combat is satisfying - but it's not without flaws: the level designs are very linear, the story is simple and the flow of action is often abruptly stopped by unskippable animations where Cloud seems to be wading trough molasses. That being said I still have high hopes for a modern FFVII Rebirth.
