The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who want a character driven RPG with cinematic action, a sprawling world, and room to explore between story beats: Cloud and the party pursue Sephiroth across a broad adventure that pairs real time combat with a large scale RPG journey. Tradeoff: The long, story focused adventure and substantial detours may feel like too much if you want a compact, tightly paced game.
