I feel the complete opposite.
Almost everything they've added feels like filler to me, put there to justify splitting it into multiple parts. The pacing is just frustrating me and there are parts that I'm really not liking where they are going storywise. I care less about Wedge and Jessie than I did before I started playing it. It wouldn't even be so bad if there was a bit of restraint with that filler, but they seem to just push it to the point of being frustrating for me almost every time. There are a few nice additions, but they tend to go too far with everything. I genuinely thought they were taking the piss out of themselves at one point.
I'm usually thinking they cut this into parts to add this? Why? Who thought FF7 needed this?
