Being that Final Fantasy Remake arrived 23 years after the original was released, there was an expectation that things would be significantly different.

But it wasn’t until players got their hands on the game that they learned exactly what had changed, particularly all the ways in which it doesn’t simply remake but completely reimagines the original RPG. Plenty of gamers with strong nostalgia for the classic version will have been floored by the expansion of the game’s narrative, its world map, deeper dives into fan favourite characters, boss battles, and combat evolution.

Then there was the surprise that the Remake only covers Midgar so there’s a hell of a lot more to come. Which should also come with more ‘oh my god, how big is this thing’ moments.
