7.7!

There's lots of great stuff in this game of course, I particularly love how they use Midgar for the opening few hours. But generally I think it gets worse after the first disc. It does the same thing a lot of FFs do- has a really good tight single plotline that's pretty deep, well thought out and connects to all the characters... then keeps going for hours after that with a bunch of generic half-baked fantasy collectathon stuff that has no real meaning and just relies on the player's good will to keep chugging along to the end. Most of the cast completely falls to the wayside after Disc 1.

I'm in the minority here but I think Sephiroth is the absolute worst villain in this game. I find Shinra to be way more interesting and thematically strong, Jenova and the WEAPONs have a cool freaky eldritch vibe, but I just never felt anything positive towards Seph so when the game shifts away from Shinra entirely I kind of check out.

The cast is decent but many of them are completely irrelevant outside of their one little token sequence. Cloud and Tifa are the only ones who really get treated fairly from start to finish imo.
