Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

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.

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.

Rebirth manages to take the original game's middle section and expand upon the towns visited before. Combat, which was good in Remake, improved a lot with the addition of synergy skills, etc. Easily one of the best FF games.

Gorgeous graphics and sound. The rest is milk the cow part 2. Boring minigames and the hated Chadwick is back

great game but a little overrated. didnt need the story for the game to be double the size of remake just keep it short and simple. the game is a step up from remake but still has parts that can feel dragged out.

They had a gem to play with, and they created - this. This 2nd installment is based on the first one and removes the fillers sections in the slumps of Midgar with other annoying open world sections. The story tries to bring forward a game that has no substance - combat is ridiculously hard if one wants to master parries, because this game is no Sekiro, or no Expedition 33, or extremely annoying after a while. Pick your poison. The *multiverse* insanity brings more confusion to a story that in the OG was clear, well explained, and coherent. There are good things, one can see that there is a production behind, but God, do yourself a favor and just watch a summary on YouTube. I played the first one and was not convinced, this is even worst. I'm gonna save 60 hours of my life for something else when the 3rd gets out.

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.
