I guess some of the hype is rubbing off on me. Originally I tried FF7:R and didn't like what I played, probably because of my impression of the original PS1 game. I didn't like the change in gameplay and that it would be split up.
Now that some time has passed, I've been able to absorb the opinions of people around me who have played it, and it has shown to be well accepted among critics and other gamers too and it wasn't just empty hype from bringing back a popular property. I've heard good things about it in general from people I follow that have made me want to give it another chance because I can understand what they appreciate about it, instead of coming at it with a nostalgic viewpoint and having certain expectations. Instead, I threw that away.
I've put in about 10 hours into FF7:R and I can separate it from the original and appreciate it as its own thing, and what I've played has me looking forward to continuing with this. Hopefully it will end up good, because they've said that sequels could end up having different gameplay.
