Amazing game that was 9/10 for me until the ending that brought it down quite a bit.

Its still a fantastic experience, i absolutely loved it but i dont like that newcomers feel like they have to play Crisis Core, DoC and watch Advent Children to understand that Nomura wants Sephiroth to be a time traveler because thats his idea that ruined Kingdom Hearts which assumed people needed to play the 3DS game called Dream Drop Distance along with bunch of story added via phone app *breathes*

That being said, excluding the ridiculous fate whispers and the minor problem yet new questionable additions like the japanese marketing booster Leslie and the "funny" obnoxious soldier Roche, FFVII Re-Imagined is ridiculously good. The music is good, although i wish we could switch to a different more similar original music though. I loved the Coliseum, even the sidequests because i loved having more to do, spending time with my favorite characters and not just rushing through the short part of Midgar. So i loved many of the new "filler additions" personally.

The battle mode and graphics (excluding the background at times) is fantastic, the cinematics (when no whispers are around) is 10/10 and depth of the characters is 12/10, Aerith and Tifa are by far the coolest characters and i had to pinch myself a few times while playing, i'm really playing this timeless classic re-imagined, very similarily when i experienced as a 11 years old when it came out. The ending was the only boring part to me and i miss Sephiroth's depth, main good guys got some great depth but he really seemed to lose his mysterious presence in the game, where he killed President Shinra, while dragging the bloody body of Jenova out of the Shinra HQ while the gang was imprisoned (Which didnt happen in this game, minor bummer). We probably wont be astonished at him hanging the snake on a pole either. I just wish this was really a remake since the writers are expecting everyone to know Sephiroth so thats definetly less special for newcomers and to sum it up by time traveling and alternate timelines is just poor writing, one Nomura excels at unfortunately.

Also the fact that the game isnt allowed to be more brutal is kinda annoying, you just dont see blood which is ridiculous. Its not just the blood but no one is allowed to die basically and thats what the OG was about, sacrifices and that some things happened that just happened, here it always has a safety net and it sucks.

Original game was also way more eery and dark, which was kinda one of its main atmospheric strengths.

I also sincerely hope (which is my main concern) that we wont see more time travel/alternate timelines like Nomura did in Kingdom Hearts, i hope the Avalanche gang wont ALL survive and i really hope the heroic sacrifices that really made the story great, will not be touched, especially not through Cloud going through time to save certain someone. I sincerely hope FFVII will get to stay faithful to its roots while of course trying lots of new things that dont ruin the greatest moments. Making Zack and Aerith stay alive would probably be the worst decision they could ever make.

My favorite moments were way too many, i loved the Honey Bee inn, Aerith smacking gangsters with chairs and Tifa being able to train in the gym as well. Sooo many fun details that were added, the materia system is fantastic, leveling up weapons was a good idea while not having too many of them. Also great that the game has New game plus and japanese voice acting. So if i wanna redo chapters i can have different language and play the game at my pace, Hard mode is really well done and the gameplay value is alot. I feel like those that love the game can easily end up playing 150 hours in 2-3 playthroughs. Incredible ride overall and i really hope Nomura wont screw this up, FFVII might become 4-5 parts even, who knows.

I dont mind it as long as there are no more Whispers and time travel. Thats my only concern and what brought my rating down to 8/10.

Lets face it Kingdom Hearts has never had an amazing story but every single game until 2010 has been incredibly and beautifully woven, people say they never made any sense but they totally did.. Until after 2010 when Dream Drop Distance came out, which introduced Time travel and a new phone game which carried on the mediocre storyline additions and Kingdom Hearts 3 is a sequel from THAT, not KH2.

This game is not for newcomers since the devs expect you to have played DDD and KHUX. I got my brother into playing Kingdom Hearts to my surprise and he ended up loving KH1 and KH2, got bored with BbS and jumped into KH3 and hasnt played it since it came out - Mind you i did not express frustration to him, he just said that he really disliked the bad pacing and the boring empty big corridors of worlds with nothing in it. And that is exactly how the KH worlds are post 2010: Empty large towery areas with barely anything to do but open chests etc

Now the positives are definetly some to KH3, the graphics are good although the character models are downgraded, Kairi looks like an alternate 10 year old version of the super cool lookin KH2 version which appeared older and more realistic. But ok the battle system is amazing as usual, too floaty but still fun as always. Some character were way better written and more lively than others. One of the few characters i liked were Axel,Demyx and Vexen. It was exciting every time they were on the screen, they have the best scenes in the game along with Vanitas and the Monster inc characters imo The Unversed was a nice addition to the Monsters world and was very fitting. My favorite world by far, i ended up liking Tangled also, but not much else.

Conclusion i loved playing the first 10 hours of the game, kinda like FFXV. Then i feel like they rushed the game too much and the terrible story addition starts at the end of the game, while every single character comes back, even the ones you thought were dead. And now everyone is alive and no one can die which is a bummer. I personally feel the series ended with Kingdom Hearts 2, nothing happens after that because its just overwriting money grab with hardcore Disney restrictions and alternate timelines/time travel and unneccessary conviluted story additions.

They pressed every single character in the series into one soup just like Pirates of the Caribbean 3 did (the worst one) and ironically its the one we are forced to watch in this game. If you want to play good Kingdom Hearts games they are plenty but they all happen before 2010, you will see notable difference in quality if you exclude graphical changes for the PS4.

Really bad movie, this movie should be called "Supernova from hell" ,because it has nothing to do with the bible.

For example, fallen angels (demons) are helping the earth and are the good guys,while God (who is always called "the creator" from an atheist storyteller point of view it seems), is the evil, bad mood character. Seems to me those who made the movie are atheists under satanic influence. The demons are supposed to be the victims and you are to feel sorry for them. (That exactly my point on the satanic influence, basically portraying God as evil, and further explaining why the author doesn't like God. Then after the demons die, they go back to Heaven XD, this is just ridiculous.

Don't get me started on the story, i mean i don't care if its changed, because the true story itself is very short, but atheists are filling in the blanks, with their bitterness towards their image of God, which is none.

In the bible, Noah's 3 sons all had wives in the ark, the people that were flooded did NOT want anything to with God, as a matter of fact they mocked Noah for creating the ark for years. For 120 years Noah was telling them about God and warning them to repent from their ways. But the king in the movie, was not against God, he wanted to have fellowship with God and was rejected, therefore the bitterness from the author clearly emerged, infused with lies about who God is. Not displaying how merciful God really is but completely the opposite.

Also this movie is gray and boring, so serious and no happiness, which righteous people are supposed to be so much more happier but thats just my opinion. This movie comes from the opinion that what God made is bad and rotten, and we should make our own "beauty and creation", mocking God and being gods in our own eyes, which is exactly why those demons were cast down in the first place. And they are the ones that corrupt the minds of people and are the creepy psychotic creatures that make all the evil in the world. What satanic influence tries to convey, is the opposite, where the demons are victims and because God is "omnipotent" he must be the reason of the all the bad things in the world.

I could continue along time with all the silliness from this movie. I actually find this fiction to be too stupid to be taken seriously and gives me more reason to laugh.
