I finished a very enjoyable playthrough from start to VI thanks to Pixel Remasters, and I bought VII-IX on Switch to keep it going. I'm on the first arc in Kalm after leaving Midgard and I am finding it a struggle to get through. This game moves so slow, the story is not at all interesting so far, combat is entirely monotonous, the characters are flat, the controls are clunky, and the cut scenes are excruciatingly long and pointless.

I do not want to play through it for completeness sake, but I also don't want to give up too early.

I feel like I should be enjoying it by now, right? Is there some point in the story where it really takes off? If so, how close am I?

Give it at least until you reach Junon.

That said, I never liked FF7 as much as I liked FF6. FF6 has an ensemble cast, so if Terra doesn't speak to you, one of half a dozen other characters can pick up the slack. I felt that FF7 relies on your attachment to Cloud and the rest of the cast matters less.
