There’s a lot more nuance with standard attacks in rebirth. Lots of mechanics that just aren’t explained sadly with each character acting different in different situations.
I would mostly agree with you for remake though. Although I still absolutely love the combat in both versions. To me they’re the perfect in between of action and ATB
I’m absolutely in love with the remakes. Exactly what I wanted out of them and more.
I don’t know why so many people wanted a shot for shot remake. It being different enough allows me to be a kid again like I’m playing for the first time not knowing what’s going to happen. I wish more remakes took this route.
I’m still always going to play the original on a regular basis, and now I have more games in the remakes to do the same to, instead of the remake just replacing the original.
I’ve always loved every bit of FFVII media so I’m heavily biased, but even my girlfriend who hadn’t got into it prior to being with me has loved the remakes. She really enjoyed crisis core too (a personal favourite of mine as well) and almost attempted to 100% it, insane :') haha
