The most intense fight I’ve had in Final Fantasy VII Remake, thus far, is with a house. It’s not in the same place it was in the original game, but Hell House is lovingly recreated in this edition in all its haunted glory. Scaled up, rendered in 4K, it bounced around the screen firing flaming chairs at my party while I did my best to hit it with magic and avoid taking too much damage. Its one arm, twisted claw, and weird orb-like head are back too. People in a crowd around the fight shouted specific catcalls and jeers when I used specific spells or the house used specific attacks. When I used Aerith’s limit break to heal the party, an announcer wondered aloud if using it was cheating and called the ability by its name.
