I managed to complete the game (first playthrough casually on Normal mode) within 49 hours recently and i think it was quite the roller coaster ride for somebody who has played FF7 OG version on multiple play throughs.
It's a game worth playing although i'll feel abit sorry for newcomers to the series as there will be many WTF moments that are not self-explainatory unless the OG version was played.

I'm still abit hung up about the changes they've made to the original storyline by reverse engineering it now that it has been Nomura'ed with esotoric Kingdom Hearts time time travelling elements into it but i suppose its worth waiting to see how it will be further twisted to make eager fans to purchase all episodes one after another.
On the flipside, I think my all time favorite battles in the game were the ones with Jenova Dreamweaver (thanks to the kick ass Jenova track) and both Reno & Rude
I've completed the game not long ago. It's indeed a nostalgic revisit for me.
even myself also don't understand what actually happened at the end of the game.
After Cloud and co. crossed that light, why they still stuck in Midgar? Why suddenly there're horde of whipers appear and wreak havoc? Are those Sephiroth's remnants?
Just now I watch the cutscenes 2nd time, I realized Biggs survived, and even Zack. Does that mean this remake is about changing the future? As Aerith mentioned something like destiny's crossroad..
