Whatever, just wash your hands.
Got to chapter 4, quite enjoying it, I like the new combat additions and its cool how the characters in the back will shoot into combat. I do prefer the preset parties though which the remake did a great job with, but it works. I'm not sure about some of the music choices, some odd remixes at times. Seems pretty easy, but I am at the start of the game and did just finish a playthough of Remake on hard mode.

So I just beat Midgardsomr (or Midgard Zolom in the orignal), and I was a bit taken back that this was a required boss fight. Not too tough, but plenty of annoying attacks of its own.

In the original, I remember saying "how hard can it be?", then proceeded to get my ass kicked. Had to come back a few levels later. I was in awe with that scene of the giant snake impaled on a tree, and was shocked at how powerful he really is. It was part of a gradual built-up to show his true capabilities in the end.

Here, while it was nice to see him actually doing it, sort of quelled the shock value that I had back then. IDK, maybe it's because I already know where this is headed, or maybe his strength was already demonstrated in the part 1 remake as a final boss fight, or maybe it's because they made the fight much easier and doable at earlier level compared to the original, but I think coming across the already-impaled body would've worked a lot better.

Awww man, they really go out of their way to deflate Sephiroth anyway they can. I half expect him to be a waifu in part 3 at this point.
