Not op but having played Rebirth, while overall very good, it suffers from the classic case nowadays of adding repetitive "chores" to do around maps, to artificially increase the length of the game with little purpose.

So far (only 6 hours in, but some friends who went further confirmed), Expedition 33 seems to steer away from that, being a lot more story driven.

It also has, by far, the greatest prologue I've seen in a game.

Worse thing so far, the UI in the menu does take a second to get. Particularly the selected state is way too subtle and a bit confusing at first.

Agreed, I've only played FF7 Remake (which I'd waited patiently for years while it was being developed), and just did not enjoy playing the game. It felt like it 20 hour game stretched out to 70 hours with repetitive fetch quests. It lacked the charm and fun of the original, and it sounds like this Clair Obscur game has learnt from this experience.
