Square really the type of company to remake a game twice, only for one to be a little less than faithful (to say the least) and the other to be a gacha cashgrab.

I'm not sure what this is, is this a new game or a remake of one? Also, I don't speak Japanese, but it looks like you're playing a young Sephiroth?

It's a gatcha game that goes through the main stories of the previous FF7 games, while also including new stories from The First Soldier, And other stories planned from other games like Before Crisis. It's not full games, you essentially play little missions where you go through the key story point in those games.

I tried it out for a little bit, but the story pieces were a little too bite size for my liking, and I absolutely hate gatcha mechanics, so it's really not for me personally. I'm not interested in dressing up my character in outfits or leveling up my gear.

Oh, that's incredibly disappointing. I was worried it was something like that. I also hate gacha mechanics, so I guess I'll give this one a pass. Maybe they'll release this as a standalone title without the gacha mechanics.
