The NDA made this one tough and sorry for one or two cuts that seem abrupt due to that.

GOTY for me. Amazing! FF7 is my favorite game of all time and this comes close!
Wish I could get this great review
It's a wonderful game that unfortunately fumbled the iconic aerith scene imo
These remakes are an affront to all that is holy and pure
My AeD Me 200000 Dimensions
For me the lack of the traditional ATB system is what turned me off of the remake and back to the OG.
All we wanted was the exact same game but in 4k but the devs decided to give us a reskinned FF15
Remake was really bad, Rebirth was bad, and I'll never form an opinion on part 3 because this story is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen in a game of this caliber.
You are an extremely picky “technical” reviewer.
Just pickef it up. Having fun.
I like the Areith team skill that attack is so powerful. Im able to spam it constantly without using mp or waiting for the bar to fill up.
It needs more enemies/monsters when exploring…
Worst remake ever!!
It's the dark souls of final fantasy. Mixed with Zelda , Mario. And Madden 2017..and cyberpunk 2077

That water animation (or lack of) is straight out of PS3 era.
He says ancient game……and my mind goes to Pong not VII. VII is not quite that ancient, not in the grand scheme of video games.
Overall, it is a great game and up to chapter 8, I would call it a 10/10. Sadly, at least for me, the combat got boring by the 40th hour and I played it for another 40 after that. The quality of the game stays prestige and I liked the story, but the open world, mini games and combat became too tedious which soured my experience and I ended preferí g remake over rebirth by the end.
I'm waiting… For it to be released on PC for Steam.
Like may people I was kid when the original came out, it was my first Final Fantasy and rpg type game…….
75 hours in on chapter 10 and its the most unique gaming experience I've ever had since the original. One moment it's dark as hell with real good character driven story moments and development. The next I'm bashing the pad as hard as I can to try an insane mini game again I think I hate yet feel compelled to best. Then I'm involved in a side story like 'O Chicken where Art Thou…..' and on and on it goes.
This is an absolute staggering, balls to the wall batshit bonkers accomplishment utterly content with itself, it very much exists on its own terms I'm just along for the ride….
recommending this game is the final straw, unsubbed
for me Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Never Touch 🤣🤣🤣
the mix between action and ATB not that good, if i want to play a "turn base game" i will play dragon age or baldur's gate, and if i want action i will play FF16 which much better at action than FF7R…
base on the sales of ff7 rebirth, to see such a dip from P1 to P2, the only good explanation people didn't like FF7R P1 so they didn't pick up rebirth !!!
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is more like Starfield, lets hope the next FF game is action only like FF16 but MORE EPIC 👻👻👻
For me this game is simply not good at all. I've loved the original and I despise this one. It could have been made by Ubisoft.
If you love VII but hate Ubisoft games like Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, you will have a very hard time… and the plethora of lazily designed minigames will mindnumb you to the point where you will contemplate picking up the game where you left off the next day. All of the inconsequential side content makes you question why Cloud and his follower do even travel together and what the purpose of all of it is. No sense of urgency despite Remake ending with quite a bang. Only "fun" activities to really disrespect your time as a customer and VII fan. I am super disappointed by what Yoshinore Kitase prioritized here. And these points are just the tip of the iceberg of all my gripes with the game. No, it is not the lack of an overworld map, no it is not the combat, not the music, not the VA, not the graphics. It is the pacing which is ruined by bloated chores which overlevel you and quickly trivialize the great combat while making you forget about the main quest's objective.
Too much fluff imo. I laughed every time I got to a new region and they added an extra set of ladders to climb to active the towers. Cmon guys this isn’t BOTW why are you doing this just put the activation thing at the bottom 😂
Wait for a sale, its 20 hours of good gameplay and 100+ hours of crappy minigames and a open world that falls flat on its face.
completed the game last night, it's an absolute masterpiece. the care, love and detail square enix have put into it is just on another level
I have a self imposed rule as my game time is very limited in that idont buy a game until i beat the one im already working on(not counting halo mm)
I may break that for this as technically im playing mgs vol 1, and ive playdles them all countless times.
I know it's a standard jrpg thing, but I really don't like how they just dump every system on you at the same time after finishing chapter one. Materia upgrades, party changes, Queen's Blood, weapon upgrades, folios, etc. All within the span of like 20 mins. It's kind of overwhelming.
I also think the exploration is really jittery. Like Cloud magnetizes to surfaces and there aren't good animation transitions so running around the open world feels awkward and inconsistent.
But I'm having enough fun (and I loved the first one enough) to keep playing and hope it gets better. I'm glad this game actually has a personality, unlike FF XVI.
I appreciate your reviews. Even a game like this that I would never play, I watched the entire review.
I'm surprised there isn't more blowback about the way this is being released. Remaking an old game, chopping into thirds and selling each piece for $70. I imagine they could even sell the finale of the "trilogy" in two parts like Hunger Games and get away with it.
