Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion I dropped this pretty early on back in the day on PSP so I feel like this version of the game is a massive improvement over the original. At least, the combat seems like a massive improvement based on what I've seen on YouTube. I don't think I would've had the patience to clear all 300 missions in the original version. But in this one, once I started grinding them (with some youtube videos on my second monitor) and making myself a broken build, I just couldn't stop. The story is kind of uneven. Zack is a pretty likeable protagonist and all the bits with Aerith are great but holy shit, Genesis fucking sucks. I am really dreading finding out whether or not they're going to bring him back in Rebirth. The last few chapters of the game are pretty great but that mostly covers stuff you find out in FFVII. I'm a little surprised that they don't appear to have tweaked the story at all considering the direction the remake is going, though. I imagine they remastered the game right before Rebirth for a reason... Also, that secret boss Minerva can eat my ass. Completely unfair bullshit fight lol. You basically need a build specifically for her because otherwise she'll sneeze and one-shot you. My build probably wasn't optimal and she still one-shot me quite a few times (you can steal x99 Phoenix Downs from her and it's seriously not optional) but I eventually managed... Now I have to decide whether to start something new (Midnight Suns or Trails from Zero) or go back and finish the games I started months ago (Spider-Man and P5R)...

Thought about getting some other stuff, but my backlog currently has a bunch of games I actually really want to play, so I'll be trying to get through some of those before buying anything else for a while (so I say lol, let's see how long that lasts ). Some of the games I want to try and finish: Dragon's Crown Pro Valkyria Chronicles (PC) Valkyria Chronicles 4 Metroid Dread Monster Monpiece Moero Crystal Seven Pirates H Cyberpunk 2077 Nier Automata Death Stranding Ghostbusters Ghostrunner Scarlet Nexus Sekiro Daemon X Machina And more... But those are the ones at the top of my list lol.
