Just finished it. Storlyine-wise, I enjoyed it for what it was. Though, {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I'm kinda iffy on the whole alternate universes merging during THAT scene. . As a fan who has played the original countless times, the fleshing of certain areas or characters was really well-done. And there are some scenes that got me emotional as well. My only real negative is those accursed mini-games. The only one I really liked was Chocobo racing, which I didn't even finish because that's a ton of races to do. Also, the less said about Queen's Blood, the better. Not all the Chocobo races were easy, but I did manage to win at every one of them yesterday. The replacement cards helped me a lot with Queen's Blood later on. Neil did give me a struggle for a while, though. By the way, I wish spoilers didn't get automatically revealed on Proboards whenever we quote someone in a reply, kills the point of the whole feature. I'm almost at the end of the game, but not at the point you were. No wonder I usually don't check official video game threads until I'm actually done with the story.

I also tend to spam searches about other things on YT in order to avoid spoilers being on my FYP whenever a AAA game I’m interested in comes out. I still had some AH who kep showing up on my feed whether Jedi Survivor spoilers were the F’ing titles to his videos. FF7 Rebirth was at least better about that. I waited months before picking it up and was spoiler free for the most part.

Right near the end myself. The part of the game that straight up remake the original is great, but it's bogged down by a largely boring open world Ubisoft style and most of the mini games (Queens Blood and Chocobo racing aside) are just dreadful and kill the game's already rough pacing. I've enjoyed myself in places but this game is at times a lot more of a chore than it should be. It feels inexcusable coming from the same company that gave us Octopath Traveller 2 only last year.
