Had the rom on my SNES Classic for the longest time, but actually properly played it when the Rewind-version was released. Great Argento-esque game.

Couple of weeks of downtime after a surgery, might start reading another book on the side.

The Bhagavad Gita (not the ISKCON-version)

Not even dignifying the plebeian display with a bark

Uninstalled the game and moved onto replaying Baldur's Gate II

I am very glad I bought this off a Steam-sale. Had I paid the full price, my criticism towards the game might be more vitriolic.

Currently playing the Yuffie-centered INTERmission. Fighting the emo BDSM-Gimp, in which fight the third phase is essentially "the floor is lava, fuck you." Kinda feeling like uninstalling this already, I have other uses for the 100 gigabytes.

Also, if you've never experienced the story of Final Fantasy VII before, this is in no way the proper introduction. Play the original, easily available through Steam.

And there we have it; it was big, loud, colourful, dumb and pointless spectacle that tried to make the segment which takes about 8-12 hours in the original game and make that into a 30+ hour experience by padding the everloving shit out of it.

The "Destiny"-angle was pointless, although I was amused by the silliest extent it got to; in the end, the party decides to defy destiny. How is that represented? By the party fighting ginormous monster that might as well be called "Destiny". For fuck's sake, can I get it just a bit more on the nose

Story:
as I wrote, the original story is meaningful to me. The additions felt like they belonged to a fanfic. The writing got to be attrocious at points (looking at you, last moments of the game).

Side content:
honestly, it just mostly felt like they were there to pad up the length of the game.
