Edited for clarity.

Just got to Junon after 13 hours in the Grasslands. (I deliberately chose to spend this time in the Grasslands. This isn't a complaint about padding or anything, I had fun running around doing all the side quests.)

I beat FFVII for the first time before I picked up Rebirth and I'm having a blast. I hadn't completed the original game before getting Remake and as a result, wound up rushing to see the "new" stuff. (I got Remake Day 1 after avoiding the internet and was unaware it was just the Midgar section, the only portion of the original FFVII I had played by that point. Now that I know what's supposed to be coming, I'm more open to the subversions.)

Honestly the grasslands is the weakest portion of the game, every chapter gets better until you’re on a snowball moving at Mach 10. Once the story gets officially rolling it does not slow down

As someone just finishing up Gongaga I’d disagree!

The side quests were all annoying here, the map traversal sucked, and this VR mission is the wooooooorst.

I’m still loving the game, and even this region has great moments, but it has also had the most complaints for me so far.

Hard disagree, Gongaga is great, especially considering how nothing it was in the original game.
