    Minor, I guess, but Remake also allowed you to see all of your party's materia at once. I think it was pressing R1(?) on the materia screen that brought up the multi-member materia UI. Kind of a hidden option(?), but not really, as it appeared in the legend at the bottom of the screen.

    A review that I was waiting for. Not disappointed, thanks !
    There are already so many different feelings about the ending in the reviews. "Too long for some, a bit rushed for you (if devs talk about it since a year for a short result, i'll probably feel the same), complicated for others (who don't know the Lore well perhaps?), inexplicably complicated, (I will avoid the last comment which may be close to a spoiler...).
    This ending will get people talking! But isn't the goal for players to continue talking about the game for 4 years while waiting for the rebirth DLC and the third part?

    One thing I hope gameplay wise is that they've fixed all the interruptions where control is taken from you. I just replayed Remake and this was a huge annoyance with the later bosses. Phase shifts, special moves etc, the camera would focus in on it to have a little cutscene for dramatic effect or make sure you knew what was going on. Some is fine and necessary ofc but it went overboard. But it's very frustrating to lose a stagger or limit break because of all these camera cuts. You work hard for the staggers and the limit breaks are really rare so the game shouldn't be so happy to take those from you so frequently.
    The whisper bosses was especially a bad experience in this regard. Not only do they constantly throw you around, but when you get to make a big move it's taken from you. And the camera cuts every time they get staggered or Barret shoots the large whisper, which at points was every few seconds. The game tried to have this hugely dramatic boss fights with all the cutscenes, but only had me wait for it to be over while I flipped in and out of game play.
    This is my main complaint about the battle system so if it's better this time around I will be very happy. I really loved Remake and I'm so stoked for Rebirth.
