October 20, 2012 at 3:38 PMThese achievements are sad. For any veteran FFVII player, these aren’t even achievements, but something they are likely to do during a playthrough anyways.17 of these achievements will be completed without any effort on the players part other than playing through the game normally.
I can understand that Square wanted to bring back old FFVII players by adding an achievement system, but these achievements are almost an insult to older players.
don’t even get me started on the “character booster”…
