It’s definitely got more / better story- but it felt like a walking sim visual novel until the last few battles that actually made you use the battle system. There were a few good early fights on hard- the house especially.

Man...you're in for a treat in part 2! The character building is phenomenal so far @ 44 hours in!

@Feeb agreed, it's basically Dune part 1. They make up for it in Rebirth though.

Damn near fully done with all three first zones,and just got a new discovery mission that will clearly be a giant pain in the ass for the whole game.
Overall, absolutely loving it. Haven't had this sense of "can't wait to keep playing" since Elden Ring.

Everything done in first 3, in 4th.
With one exception. The damn piano! Haven't gotten any rank A's yet. They suck.

Without spoilers, I'm 20 something hours in, 100% in the first two zones and am just about to start the official parade in Junon.
- Characters/story are obviously great
- I like that the side quests are loosely tied to a specific character to further develop their bond to Cloud.
- The side quest stuff thus far I feel is engaging and varied. It's the kind of stuff I enjoy finding more of. Specifically, Protorelic quests and finding rare beasts are fun.
- Quite enjoy the Queen's Blood card game
- The minigames and battle sims have been just challenging enough, without being rage-inducingly hard for no reason
- I need more Queen's Blood depth. There just isn't a big enough card library and they set you up with just the types of cards you need to beat the next challenger.
- Though warranted, I don't like being forced to use Assess on each new enemy as your first attack. It's just busy work and takes up a much needed materia slot that you need to make sure your active group always has. For me, when I want to take a break from Cloud, I need to move Assess to another.

@incubus421 QB is gonna get a lot better. More cards come into play soon. The leveling challenges aren't all that hard, but there's an area where they ramp up majorly.

I'm convinced, Yuffie is the the most overpowered. Jesus christ, two of her abilities combined are just unstoppable (from weapons 3 and 4).
You guys maxing out all weapon proficiency? Super easy to do in combat simulator.

I’m going to platinum this once I receive it and finish P3 plat. I’m not thrilled about having to open the hard mode by completing it (like remake) but I’ll be doing everything.

Late Chapter 9, the hell is going on with the story... I have a hunch but this is gonna get weird (as do many JRPGs), or I'm just dumb.

I didn’t like the condors OG. I really do not like trophies buried behind content that would otherwise be ignored - but I’m often pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it or how much more complete the experience is. This is particularly true with hard modes etc.

I have such a love-hate relationship going on with zone 4. So insanely well designed but a giant pain in the ass to get where you want to go.

Zone 4 is like Act III in Diablo 2. Glad to be done with it, but was actually pretty awesome.

This is a really awesome overview of all things Jenova (pre Rebirth). Played original 3x and this is a better explanation than anything I've gathered by playing over the years.
The whole Aerith matter... Had no idea the Jenova element here, mind blown.
