my first ever FF game. The combat and graphics are great, but the story draaaaaaaags and the side quests are so barebones that it’s a damn crime! Aww you should have played the original FFVII
Your impression of FFVII Remake reminds me of XV, a ton of sidequests (that involves finding a item or killing a monster) and a lot of extra fluff added to the "story"
I only played FFVII Remake's demo on PS4 but I do have the OG game on PS4 and Intergrade on Steam/PC.
Anyways, my first FF game was FFIV which I played on SNES back in 1992. Had no idea what the hell I was doing because it was my first RPG and I was early single digit old so didnt know better.
First FF game I did finish was FFIV but it was like a decade later via emulation.
First FF game I bought was IX and X when I bought my PS2 back in 2003.
I would recommend playing FF4, FF6, FF7 OG, FF9 or FF10 as a good starting FF game. Those games dont have the extra sidequests that XV/VII Remake and other recent RPGs have, they have sidequests but are not as generic nor as many, so you'll be sticking to the main story/campaign of the game most of the time.
I remember playing FFXV and getting to the 10th hour and then 40 hours passed just by doing sidequests/hunts - ended up being too OP and rushed through the rest of the game because I was too OP. Dont need to worry about stuff like that in the older FF games.
