When I heard that the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII—which came out yesterday—would have achievements, I thought maybe we’d see some cool challenges. Maybe they’d have a sense of humor. Or ask you to do crazy things, like beat the game with no materia or solo Ruby Weapon.
But no. These achievements are just straight-up dull.
Here’s the full list of 36, 18 of which involve Limit Breaks:
End of Part I: Complete the first part of the game
