Oh, the much-praised FFVI...

Well, what can I say, let's start with the fact that I liked the game overall.

It's aesthetically good, the soundtracks are good, and overall the game has such a nice vibe, the gameplay is good! The mechanics with summons were played out interestingly here, and it's pretty cool that each character, in addition to everything else, has his own set of abilities, for example, Sabin has monk techniques, because he is a monk, etc.

But the plot... it's quite good, but overall the characters didn't impress much, they lack depth, and the presentation doesn't help much either, but it's already clear that the developers have learned to make a decent presentation only starting with PS1, and on top of everything else, there are so many characters that most of them are just there and that's it.

And of course the Antagonist, oh how everyone praised him... "One Of The Best Antagonists In Games",
"The Best Final Fantasy Antagonist", etc.
And he's just... well... he's funny but that's it.
He's just evil for the sake of being evil.
And I'm not against villains who are complete psychopaths, look at Doflamingo from One Piece for example the dude is just nuts, and we know why exactly, but Kefka? He's just evil, flat and bland antagonist and not only that there was also lack of any sort of connection between the main cast and the antagonist and little to no any significant interactions with main characters, unlike with Sephiroth and main cast (especially with Cloud).
I don't even know who can praise this antagonist so much, probably people who have never watched or played anything.

But in the end, I liked the game overall.

What can I say? Yes, the plot is very weak (almost non-existent, even the main characters are nameless and don't say anything) and there is something lacking in the game. But what do you expect, this is the very first game in the series! It came out a long time ago.
But with all that in mind, i actually pretty enjoyed it!

That was actually my first Character Action (or Hack N' Slash) whatever the genre is. And it's fantastic! Combat is great, Characters are Fun, Great Cutscenes, and fun achievements and ofc THE MUSIC!
But i have one gripe with it, lack of variety in it's locations, most of the time u travelling across Urizen's guts

I'm not gonna lie i wasn't really a fan of Story and Characters.
Plot is just generic with underdeveloped characters and final acts with Necron and all that ♥♥♥♥ is just a facepalm.
But the gameplay is pretty fun

(Moogles are just legendary in this one tho.
And achievements are fun too imo except that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10k enemy kills)

This was my first game in the JRPG genre. I had never played games of this genre before, and it seemed to me that the turn-based combat system was not my thing. But the time came when I tried this game, and I was just blown away.

I really liked the gameplay, the locations were very cool and interesting, the mixture of Steampunk and Fantasy was to my liking! And my God, this combat system, at first I didn’t like random encounters, and I knew that in other versions of the game (on PS4 for example) you could turn off these encounters for a certain amount of time as you wanted (overall, it seems to me that any FF with turn-based combat has this system on Steam except FFVII for some reason), but you know, in the end I started to enjoy the combat system, that I no longer cared about random encounters.

The atmosphere in this game is also great, and what helps this atmosphere is of course the great music made by the great Nobuo Uematsu, all the moments, all the locations are accompanied by great compositions that give the right mood!

And of course, what helps the same atmosphere and vibe is the great narrative and characters...
Oh my God, what can I say, this is one of the best stories in my memory from video games: symbolism, themes, chemistry between the protagonist and antagonist, each character is written perfectly, and even if there are 1-2 characters that are not so well written, they are still done at the proper level (and at the same time they have some meaning in the story unlike some characters, I'm looking at you Amarant from FFIX) due to the great presentation, and this was 1997 I want to note, and the story of the FFVII protagonist, my ass flew away when I found out about this, should I continue further?

Graphics, I don't know, for me the graphics are cute, Tifa's cubic ballistics are nice.

Despite the fact that this is an old JRPG, despite the fact that there is a Remake (even if it's not exactly what we wanted) you should try this legendary game!

(P.S This isn't actually my first time reviewing this game, I just decided to give it more credit here)

Magnificent return of Resident Evil!
Indeed, horror has returned to its place and this game is truly good! Classic gameplay but this time with a first person perspective, it was really nice to see this after RE6. The game is scary, with a dense atmosphere, the weapons feel good and overall it’s a pleasure to play! And oh my god Jack is awesome!
Perhaps there are things that really suck in this game, despite the fact that I like this game, I must say that the second half of the game is really so-so, not as bad as many people like to say but still, there is also a small variety of enemies and the worst thing is the lack of skipping cutscenes it's really a big hit on replayability in a bad way and that's despite the fact that the game already has a long intro where you basically just walk around. But still this game is cool! Especially the DLC here is absolutely sweet!

Masterclass Survival Horror Game, Exploration is fantastic, item managment, puzzles, Ost etc etc etc. But for newcomers to the series it will be a little bit of frustration because of Fixed Cameras (tho i love them) and controls but when you get used to it, yall gonna enjoy it! Tho i must say this game is the least favorite for me from OG Trilogy (and even this Remake too, tho i like it better than OG RE1) but still, love this game and it's one of the best Survival Horror games!

Awful game, no near as satisfying as RE2 or RE4. If you want some really great action oriented Re game get Re4R, if you want great survival horror get Re2R, but this just sucks. and as a remake it's awful they just butchered it, it is very disappointing. Nemesis is a joke here, and exploration is dead.
