If FFVII Rebirth had any more filler...

 We'd be trying to get back Sasuke Uchiha to the Leaf Village.  Ine hours in and NOW I think I'm ready for the Midgarsormr, who unlike the Midgar Zolom is an obligatory boss battle.

9 hours = Nibelheim flashback, Kalm, Chocobo farm. OG game, Less than two hours. Now here's the weird part... the filler isn't THAT bad. Sure it's not "original" missions are mostly go from a to b to kill a monster and return. Random mini game with clumsy mechanics. The interesting part comes from expanded lore and areas. I have to admit, Kalm was an amazing experience and finding these places like the windmill settlement, Oliver's farm and even Chocobo Bill's farm.

But at the same time foraging, hunting random fiends feels very XV-like...

I killed the Midgarsormr... first try too! Unlike OG Midgar Zolom who violently raped me way too many times.  I hate how they handled the Sephiroth killing the Zolom here. 

The start of the game was the only part with a little bit of Kingdom Hearts bullshit, but aside making me cry like an idiot, it was enjoyable. The rest of the game so far, has been 98% Kingdom Hearts bullshit free. An improvement over The Whispers from remake. I just know that Team No-No will fuck up. Probably around the Infiltrating Upper Junon area.

With all that said, I'm enjoying the game. But I don't know if this is real enjoyment or if it's manipulation because I love Final Fantasy VII...

Rebirth deprived us of this...
