The world is incredibly detailed, so instead of rushing to the next quest objective, make sure to take your time and let it all soak in. [Issue#264,p.58]

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the first game in the series in a long time that I enjoyed. It expands the classic JRPG and FF VII Remake. And there is no doubt that Square Enix saved all the most interesting and exciting things for the final part of the trilogy.

FFVII Rebirth ends up a messy game, then, but its ambitious swings pay off more often than not. Make no mistake, this is an absolutely epic journey that sends you out to explore a huge world, with real-time combat that makes your party feel like one great big team in a way few other games have ever managed to accomplish. The story in this middle entry doesn’t quite stick the landing, but the game built around it absolutely does, raising the bar significantly for RPGs of this scope. While taking a swing at fate’s threads feels narratively underserved, Rebirth still presents a planet and people worth fighting for right through to the bitter end. [Issue#39, p.68]

Probably my favorite game of the PS5 era. Super fun action RPG. And I like a big change the story a little bit because I can always go back and play the original if I want

It will be nearly impossible to evaluate Final Fantasy VII Rebirth outside of the trilogy as a whole in the years to come. But right now nothing is stopping us from doing so. To put it succinctly, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is one of the finest games in Square Enix's entire history.

What Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth does is challenge the idea that FF7 can't be topped within its own in-game universe; in my eyes, that's already been done, in the middle game of a trilogy no less, and now we'll just have to wait and see if Square Enix can stick the landing on what's been an incredible, must-play two-parter thus far.

A true modern day masterpiece, one if the greatest games of all time, very fun combat.

There is a new contender for the "which Final Fantasy game is the best?" debates now. But if you ask me "which is the best Final Fantasy VII?", them we have a clear winner.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth expands upon the 2020 Remake by offering a more captivating story, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and a more expansive world. However, some players might find themselves slightly impeded by pacing issues and Square Enix's overly ambitious endeavors.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a loving recreation of the original’s second act, elevated by an impressive level of commitment and confidence and only held back by the occasional wobble.

I don’t regret the 100 hours (or was it more?) that I spent in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. In fact, I loved so much about the game. I loved the expanded party of characters. Vincent's my boy and he shows up in style, Yuffie's my girl and she brings much-needed energy into the main cast. I also loved visiting iconic locations like Costa del Sol and the Gold Saucer for the first time in their remade form. Most of all, I love and adore the work that Kazushige Nojima has done with the narrative (especially the ending that, once again, challenges everything we assumed about the FFVII plot), and he further entrenches himself as arguably the most innovative and creative writer in JRPGs with Rebirth. I just really wish that Square Enix had resisted putting so much padding and pointless distractions between all that good stuff. Why undermine the things you do best like that?

Square Enix has built a world that really is beautiful, filled with pleasurable diversions. But the contrast between the pleasure of playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the dourness of its plot often ends up confusing things. It’s less apocalypse now than apocalypse later.

A shame it didn't sell a lot, it's actually one of the better open world (region) game I have played. The first chapters are a bit slow story wise and maybe even overwhelming with new open world stuff. It gets way better after some hours though. A lot of surprises, amazing cast of charming characters, a gripping story and the combat is top notch (gets some getting use to though

Mixed feelings. The story is chronically anime, whereas the original was able to transcend. The game loves to pad things out and arrest control from the player. It far outstays its welcome by the end and it was painful to finish.

The seemingly endless number of mini-games and side-quests (some of which can thankfully ignored by switching to easy difficulty) completely destroy the pacing, and it’s only the enduring characters and storyline that kept me playing.

First off, this game is about 40 hours of main story, and 80 hours of side content. The 40 hours of main story are a 9/10, but the 80 hours of side content are a 1/10, a complete chore, and an entire waste of the player's time. I can not recommend buying this game based on the amount of pointless and tedious filler they put into it. Every map is filled with repetitive and boring tasks that will take up much more of your time than the main story will for that particular map. Additionally, Chadley has a new set of "challenges" (chores) for you to complete with every new map that you unlock, and the most unique and desirable materia in the game are locked behind those chores. While the game has a good main story (hence the 4/10 score), the amount of pointless filler content in it makes it an absolute grind to play through. If you value your time, play something else.

Just an ok action game, if you want a meh adventure with cloud going: huh, meh, yeah, ok to everything then its a decent play through.
Its watch cut scene, fight grindy battles, be annoyed you missed a scan, do annoying mini games that add nothing to the story or character development, just more yeah, ok's from cloud that pad the play time.
Remove about half the game and it'd be a decent play through.
