I have played the first, like, 30 minutes or so of the game. I know a bunch of little things here and there (who all the party members are, which ones are optional, shinra sucks energy out of planet, Aeris dies, Omnislash kills Sephiroth, there's materia and limit breaks, etc) but almost nothing has any context. I have no idea what it's like to play this game.

It's funny that Cloud knows Ice and Bolt. FF7 doesn't do wind and rain elements right? remember how the SMRPG character who knows ice and snow moves was a cloud

So during the scorpion boss, the music didn't actually turn into the boss theme, weirdly enough. Cloud *tried* to warn Barrett "If you attack while its tail is up, and it'll counterattack with its tail laser." Here's how that played out:

scorpion boss: *raises tail*
Cloud: Barret, watch out! Attack while its tail is up
me: *mashes attack while tail is up*
scorpion boss: *tail laser*
Cloud: and it'll counterattack with its tail laser!
scorpion boss: *tail laser*
me: aaaa

These prerendered graphics are hard to read. I walked around for like 5 minutes before I found the way out of the reactor.

The explosion sound effect is very SMRPG. Love that the townspeople consider us terrorists. I wonder how well they understand the impending threat. I also wonder when the planet is going to die. Will it happen in our lifetime? Our grandkids'? Do we know? How crazy is it for Cloud not to care that the planet is dying?

Met Tifa. Her massive rack is the only clearly-defined 3d object in the house.

Not a huge fan of the combat in the intro, but I expect it'll improve. Every enemy felt the same, the right option was always obvious, menus and animations were boring, sometimes everyone is sitting around doing nothing. Graphics are pretty ugly too. But I'm invested in the story already. Square knows how to write intra-party conflict, and it seems like they put a lot of work into the worldbuilding. Looking forward to seeing why this game is so popular for myself.
