Is it too hard to understand the desire to want a straight remake of FVII? All I want is to see the epic and memorable scenes in glorious HD so that the new generation can see why FF7 is so popular in the first place.
Not this Kingdom Hearts bullshit.
Even at the time, I thought Final Fantasy VII was the first ugly FF game, with the premature switch to 3D graphics on a new system causing Squaresoft horrendous difficulties in everything except the pre-rendered backgrounds. Especially for the character models, which were hideous even in their higher-polygon FMV versions, much less the lower-polygon battle or "chibi" versions. Although Final Fantasy VIII has been subjected to same aging that affects all 3D graphics, it was an enormous technical leap on the part of Squaresoft in just two years, and the character graphics were vastly improved, looking quite impressive in 1999.Now nostalgia will make it up for a lot of people, but honestly it looks more and more shit the years gone bye.
how the FUCK did they cram all that world into one of those little SNES cartridges?

It's not just that, but it's obvious from some later areas in FF7 that it was unfinished.
Meanwhile FF 8-9 handle those transitions smoothly and to a degree of quality not seen in any other game at the time
Who the fuck designed this thing? And who likes this?
There is a cutscene in every. Three. Fucking. Steps.
There are cutscenses EVERYWHERE, even inside battles.
The pacing is terrible. No one mentions this, it's incredible. This is not a good game, it's hardly a game because we don't play it!

It has kind of drawn a lucky deal with that combat system. Having action combat fill a turbo meter which is then used to issue special commands, including healing and buffs, to allies is straight up genius.
A massive drawback of action combat in action rpgs is that the feeling of fighting as a group evaporates. It is all about your main character, and your allies help you juggle an enemy or throw a heal once in a blue moon at best.
The group feels cohesive in VII R's combat, you buff each other, set up combos, swap from character to character and even try to keep the others alive. It also casually solves the problem of healing in combat that can be the death of a poorly planned action combat system (FF XV where you can potion spam through the game). It is not even that fleshed out in this game, increasing the amount of ATB for every party member to about 5, having more maneuvers that take more than 1 atb bar and having better AI that does not always focus the player controlled character hard would imrove the combat a lot. The baseline however is amazing and I hope it gets used again if they make a more party focussed action rpg in the future. I am categorically a turn based > action guy, but I don't mind VII R combat at all.
This game has a lot of flaws from FFXIII, unsurprisingly, it is the same team. But I don't really feel like hating on this game, because of the genius combat system.
Finished it once, won't replay because of my issues with Business Division 1' style, but no bad feelings about this game.
Unit customisation was deece aswell, I used a magic based Cloud for the most part with the Mythril Sword.
It has two baggages basically:
a) Has to jerk off to existing FFVII fans, thus more fan service and "world building"
b) It's one episode of a larger game that due to its format had to be stretched much longer
That's pretty much why.
When's the last time you played a Final Fantasy game?
This is my biggest issue with modern JRPGs generally.

A couple months ago. FF is a highly diverse series of games. This piece of shit is nothing like a 90s FF game. An 80s FF game (e.g the original) just forget it, as it is 100% gameplay, even if it is a mediocre game.

Can't believe you're misunderstanding that my point is that this is how they've been for over a decade. This is from an 00s anime:
