Final Fantasy VII is annoying, I hope HD remake is not

He said FFX is amazing, with it's tedious maze room missions and, guess what, random encounters and backtracking.  The entire OP is absurd.

I admit the cloister trials in FFX are terrible but they make like 1% of the game. I love random encounters in FFX - the battle design is fantastic and most important you always have motivation - the Sphere Grid, where you can level your characters vs boring auto leveling in FFVII. It's not an opinion but a fact. FFs before FFX are worthless relics of the past.

What about leveling your Materia? I'd say that's akin to making your way on the sphere grid.
