"Aqua got norted!" - Alex CG
This week on our review show Alex CG (they/them), Samantha (she/her), and Shay (she/her) reflect on Final Fantasy VII Remake, the long-awaited re-imagining of a Playstation classic which landed on Playstation 4 in March 2020. Does it hold up to scrutiny? How much fan service is too much fan service? And why wasn’t the whole game just one long Hell House fight, which everyone knows is the true heart and soul of FFVIIR? We discuss action RPGs, linear storytelling in games, and even (sort of) painting!
