Genuinely surprise it wasn't on your radar before. Do you not normally play RPGS?

I've always had a tendency to stick very closely to my comfort zone, (something I am working to overcome) and JPRGs as a whole were never really my cup of tea with a few rare exceptions. I'm not massively into RPGs as a whole as I can sometimes find them a bit overwhelming, though I have enjoyed some like say Witcher 3 or Mass Effect.

I read this as you haven't played the original??!!??

Old and dated in some regards, but if you haven't played the original, dude, it is still well worth playing.  Better than the remakes by a good margin.  FFVII (IMO) is still Square's best.  My favorite rpg till Expedition 33 came out.  

Turn-based gameplay just isn't my thing, no matter how hard I try I just can't enjoy it.

Fair.  Though if expedition 33 hits the S2, turn based aside, give it a go.  Has a dodge and parry system, so feels modern even though it is turn based.
