Played 6 more hours of FF7 Remake today, I'm hooked! The pacing has been brilliant so far, makes it very hard to put down. My compliments from yesterday still hold, the game excels in almost every aspect.
I have very few complaints so far, most just relate to the Nomura anime weirdness which I guess you have to expect a bit of, the basic cartoon villain that has been in cutscenes a few times is written so badly.
There's been a few gamey things which have taken me out of the game a few times, like conversations taking a while to load so you're just sitting there waiting, or characters saying that something (like a fight) is over when there's no way they should have known that yet. For example, there's a point where you go through four similar rooms that are manned with enemy squads 8, 7, 6 and 5. It seems like it will keep going but then after finishing with room 5 your party members somehow know that's the last one and you're moving on. Kinda weird, very minor complain anyway.
Feels very much like a 9-9.5/10 game so far.
