I just finished the first chapter of the game. I've played the game before, but only until Cloud gets in to the train, so there was quite a lot of new stuff for me.
I find it hard to say a lot about the beginnings of Final Fantasy games because well, there's not much to the story yet and the battles are easy and boring, as all you really can do is just attack (except for Cloud's Ice and Bolt of course). But I've learned about the previous games, so I'm not judging the game based on the beginning.
Also for a new player the age of the game is something that doesn't make the game any more exciting. For me, it's the old graphics, not that I was expecting anything fancy. That's why I'd like a new version of the game, which would make the game more accessible for new players.
So for me the game's success depends a lot about the story and the characters. My first opinion is that Cloud is a real badass, or at least trying to be one, and I'm really interested about his past. Barret reminds me a little bit of Steiner in FFIX, maybe because he's a big guy and really concerned about the world (Steiner's concern was only Garnet though). Other charecters seem secondary, except for Tifa, whom I'm not going to say anything about yet, as she just joined the group.
The first boss was really easy. The only annoying thing about that fight was that the game decided to tell me about the counter attack when I'd already decided to attack it. x)
And about the slums. I have to say that the game's enviroment is a lot different from the FF games I've played so far, and I can't say it's really exciting, but I still try to see every place I can get to, just so I won't miss anything.
I feel like this post is really negative even though it's not supposed to. ^^' It's not that I think the game is bad, it's just that I want to really get past the beginning, and get to the game, where the battles are more tough and I get to know the story. Now I'm still on the part where they tell me about the place, and what's happening and you get to know the characters, and I'm just too impatient!
The best thing on the first chapter was Sephiroth. He's already the most interesting character even though he has been mentioned once briefly.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
