    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a 2024 action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix. The game is a sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020) and the second in a planned series of games remaking the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII. Like its predecessor, the gameplay of Rebirth combines real-time action with strategic and role-playing elements. Set immediately after Remake's events, players control mercenary Cloud Strife and a party of characters principally comprising the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE, who embark on a journey across the planet to prevent the megacorporation Shinra from exploiting its life essence, the Lifestream, as an energy source, and defeat former elite Soldier Sephiroth, who seeks to unite with the planet to achieve greater power.
    Rebirth entered production in November 2019 prior to Remake's release, and was announced in June 2022. All of the previous game's lead staff return in the same positions, but with Tetsuya Nomura as creative director instead of director, and Naoki Hamaguchi as director instead of co-director. Rebirth was released for the PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. Upon release, the game received critical acclaim.

    5:36 Holy sh-t I feel old now. I was in 10th grade when FF7 came out on the original Playstation. I still remember sitting in math class and hearing the "cool kids" over in the corner talking about it, and it being such a shock to me that a JRPG was so popular that even people who weren't "gamer geeks" were playing it. Gaming is totally mainstream nowadays, but back in the early 90's video games were still seen as something that only the social misfits and nerds like me were into, especially so for genres that weren't sports games or shooters, so it was pretty revolutionary.

    Finished main story after almost 140 hours. and only left the last portion of the Protorelic quest undone because frankly, I am not that good at playing games haha. I thoroughly enjoyed 95 percent of it and felt most side quests added a lot to the world and characters this time. I love that there are some battles beyond my scope that can be missed like some of the ones from classic era FF games (certain weapon battles in FF8 come to mind as I recently redid that game.)
    Coming in to this I was thinking how I missed certain things from those times, how you could totally miss having Yuffie or Vincent in your party, or totally miss certain summons. You had to accidentally stumble across those things back in the late 90s games. I wanted some elements of that brought back, without holding our hand to make sure everyone finds everything. They did that to some degree in this game I think.
    I was 17 when I played the original in 1998 and it forever changed my life and guided who I became on many levels. It was a piece of art that I forever compared every other story to. Its been interesting to watch them subvert some stuff, remix stuff, and find ways to still hit me in the core of my soul, even as I KNOW the story. The game still broke me up numerous times, even as I swore it couldnt do it like it did back then.
    The end has a completely epic final battle that has to be about an hour long, or at least was for me. Insane.

    FFVII is my all time favourite. It was my first video game, my first email contained "finalfantasy" and I even have a tattoo of Tifa.
    I loved the game, I cried multiple times during my playthrough as I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I stayed all night last night to power through the last chapter and you know what? That last 15% of the game left such a bitter taste that I'm truly sad about it. Instead of this very emotional ending we got a lot of confusion... Fingers crossed we will get 3rd part in 2027 as it will be 30th anniversary of FFVI and maybe a little DLC with Vincent like we got for Yuffie.

    I really think the work and art that is being put into final fantasy games is different but so incredibly well made and a lot of games can and should learn from this.
    Great example for me always is the patience this game forces you to have, wich makes for a very special experience (that might sound weird but just think at the moment in the rebirth prolog where cloud has to turn this wheel to close the vent and it forces you do turn that thing like 6 times, giving you time to think about what the hell is happening around you rn; or to give another example, in the first remake game, at some point the group is in the cellar of the bar holding there meeting and cloud has to just wait. And you get bored at first, but quickly you start looking around and play darts or just appreciate details.. this to me is just incredible design, not many ppl are willing to take the risk to put it inside their game)

      The game isn't challenging in a good way at all. It's just cheap nonsense like enemies abusing broken hitboxes, off screen attacks, and super armor. Meanwhile the player can get stunlocked by every poorly telegraphed attack way too easily, I got 2 tutorials in a row from being stunlocked by an off screen attack, there is so much forced damage. The AI will just sit there and block, eventually losing all HP also. The reason you had to spam potions and revives is because the game is poorly balanced, terrible clunky "action combat" very similar to Kingdom Hearts trash. The ATB system in the original is 100000000% better than this garbage in the remake. You should play an action game with an actual real challenge and difficulty, not the artificial fake bs from this.

    I was very critical of the departure from the original story at the end of Remake.
    However, seeing so many iconic parts of the original coming to life in this episode reminds me why I was excited for the first game. I'm hoping that now that I'm not going into the game with the false expectation that it will remain faithful to the story, I may be able to enjoy what they have faithfully recreated here that is so well done. Thanks for the preview

    The only thing I don't really understand is you saying that having a sharp image isn't what people were playing these games for.

For me personally, the image quality is definitely a small gripe that makes me want to wait for an eventual PC release.

    You know when you compare this with Final Fantasy XV you have to wonder how they could've screwed up so badly with that one where the first part plays like an open world progression but the last 2/3rds just turns into a linear mess where you can't explore the other places you go to even though they look like it would be fun to explore and instead you just follow a straight line to the end after you do or do not get Ignis injured in the fight before the train.
    What was different? Was it because FF VII was already made and everything was already there and FF XV was a new plot mired by todays wacky world ideology?

If you're playing the remake trilogy wich has a different story you won't understand many things. Playing the original makes you understand the world, story and characters so much better and will probably ad some appreciation for how things are remade. Recommend playing it on PC with mods.

    The 60fps is pretty fuzzy/muddy on a 65" 4k tv. It is smooth, but I switch to graphics 30fps mode (first time using it in any ps5 game over the performance) and once you get used to the 30fps, it is so much sharper and pretty. Half the time in battles, so much is going on and you're selecting attacks from a mini menu, that 30fps doesn't really hurt this type of game. If they patch performance mode to be better like Horizon Forbidden West did, I'll definitely switch back to performance mode. The blur you get from 30 fps really isn't much different in the performance mode...textures blur out in both modes when panning the camera... 60 just does it smoother and far objects don't duplicate(double image), but things are so muddy that it's too much of a down grade to not use the 4k mode.

      Fucking disappointing. More and more games are releasing with terrible visual fidelity at 60 fps on current gen consoles and its infuriating to say the least. The ps5 and Xbox series X are supposed to be these super impressive powerhouse consoles but now all the sudden developers are treating them like they can barely manage to get a game running at a solid 60 fps with 720p-1080p dynamic resolution, like it’s struggling that much. The console is a really inconsistent experience as a result, like God of War runs at an absolutely gorgeous 4k and rock solid 60 fps, then you have games like this that have to run at dogshit resolution just to maintain an almost stable 60 fps. At this point I feel like I have no choice but to buy a PS5 pro when it comes out because of how bad performance and resolution is getting in every new game for this console

I'm coming from 120+fps PC so it's possible! This is the first ps5 game I've opted to play in the resolution mode over the 60fps mode. Until they fix the 60 fps mode.... People that don't have a PC or buy the parts just don't understand that consoles are not going to be hitting 4k 60fps for quite some time. Gpus that can do this (just the gpu) costs as much and more than the entire console.

      Digital foundry was correct about a lot of lighting oddities that do make rebirth look worse than intermission. But to say that it wholly and ultimately looks worse just isn’t true. Tesselation is shockingly realistic. The grasslands alone are drop-dead gorgeous. But there are definite spots where there’s a randomly low texture. Could it be for optimization or a holdover from trying to optimize the game’s texture size? Idk, either or, for me the concessions in graphical fidelity are nowhere near the catastrophic level of quality that a lot of ppl seem to think they are. The average gamer will definitely be okay with this game’s graphical level. Anyone who’s a graphics enthusiast, like digital foundry, will find a lot of things to complain about.
