I'm very much liking the more in depth look at the Avalanche team, and the slum where they live.

That's about as far as I am. Jessie is cool. Glad we get to see her more.

I've played the Midgar section and gave up because the writing was really cringey. Does that improve? Did they improve it in the remake?

what do you mean by 'cringey'

do you mean 'poorly translated and full of errors' or 'full of anime bullshit'

Original PS1, and maybe a bit of the Steam version too? I've given it multiple attempts.

just beat it, pretty fast for my usual speed lol. it was pretty good, but also wish it was better. feels like pulled in a lot of the bad design ideas from XV (and even XIII), but it at least had a coherent, beloved story layered on top of it so it wasn't as awful. enjoyed the combat though it was kinda annoying at points with the animation cancels and shit. im not sure how a person who has never played the OG would react to this shit lol
