Comment on What emulated games hold up in 2025?

That really depends on your definition of “holds up”.

For example, to me the original Final Fantasy VII is still a better game than the remake because what was a well thought out RPG combat system got turned into just another button mashing combat experience with a Final Fantasy VII wallpaper applied to it.

Is the remake better graphically? sure. Does that matter to you? Than yeah…the original isn’t going to hold up for you. But if you prefer the classic design from those times, the game holds up great from a gameplay/story/character perspective. And I personally would take it over whatever mash-fest modern games use for combat systems.
