@pumpkinfury: Fully agree about the lack of multiple playable characters. Even the way FF7R did this was fine for me, but focusing on only one playable character is a bit disappointing for FF mainline game, as it was one of the key elements that I had enjoyed in FF games so much. It a lot more disappointing than the fact that it's a full action RPG now, which is a fact that I can still live with.
@sladakrobot: While the first game didn't age well, the second one is actually one of the best in the series in my opinion, and it has an awesome cinematic beginning.
Can't recommend it enough, just watch the summery of the first game if you don't want to play through it, and start with UC2 which you already own, you won't regret it.
And regarding the movie I can't ignore my disappointed from the main cast (Nathan and Sully) as they just look so different, compared to the games. Still going to watch this, just without too much expectations.
