Redefining a Classic: The FFVII Trilogy

This trilogy is not just a simple retelling of the beloved original Final Fantasy VII. While it maintains core elements from the original narrative, it introduces numerous enhancements and reinterpretations. Some critics have likened its approach to the transformation seen in Neon Genesis Evangelion and its subsequent Rebuild series. The game features a dynamic combat system that deviates from traditional turn-based mechanics, enhancing player engagement. Moreover, characters who were originally optional have been fully integrated into the storyline, enriching the overall experience.
