I played it when it came out but didn't finish it. Was it really that bad? Is it worth a replay?

Really only good for the OST. But you really could get away with mashing while switching between ravagers and commandos if you wanted to speed through the "plot".

The music is great, and the visuals are still pretty damn good, considering it's 10 years old now. That said, the characters are almost all terrible, and it suffers the same issue as FFXV where you seem to just be existing on the periphery of the real story, and happening across the aftermath of stuff happening. You only get the story through throwaway lines, and have to piece it together through summaries in the menu. Linear as shit too, and it doesn't really open up until way late in the story, and even then, there's no towns, and sidequest consist of "Go here, kill that" from talking stones. It popularized the term "It gets good 20 hours in". Luckily, the sequels ironed out some of these issues.
tl'dr Presentation is great, but characters and story are terrible.

Honestly, FF7Remake is the game FFXIII was trying to be but failed in every way.

>was it really that bad?
No, and I played it years late.
>worth a replay
sure.
The sequels are far superior games tho'
Levi Brown
if FF7-Demake was even half of what XIII is, it would be actually pretty decent.
Robert Peterson
Explain in depth your reasoning.
Jason Murphy
He's got no argument, he just desperately wants to fit in by shitting on the Flavor of the Week.

I know, but I wanted to give him a chance.

XIII has great, sharp visuals with good, colorful directing.
The soundtrack is easily some of the best in the entire series, and SFX are impactful.
The combat system, no matter its controversial nature, is extremely fun and engaging, without steering too far from the ATB design.
The cast is varied, likable, and most importantly: go through a hefty amount of development in the story.
Seriously, just take XIII, add in the XIII-2's QOL improvements,maybe borrowing some LR's original ideas, and you'd got a great base for a FF7 remake.
