  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth reviewed by Michael Higham on PlayStation 5.
    "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth impressively builds off of what Remake set in motion as both a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenge and depth, and as an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long. After 82 hours to finish the main story and complete a decent chunk of sidequests and optional activities, there's still much to be done, making this pivotal section of the original feel absolutely massive. Minigames, sidequests, and other enticing diversions fill the spaces of its vast and sprawling regions, painting a new and more vivid picture of these familiar locations. But more than just being filled with things to do, Rebirth is often a powerful representation of Final Fantasy VII's most memorable qualities. It does fumble the execution of its ending, getting caught up in the mess of its multiple twisting timelines, but new moments and the overarching journey manage to evoke a deeper sense of reflection in spite of that. So, for as flawed as parts of how this classic has been reimagined might be, Rebirth still stands out as something both thrilling and unexpectedly impactful."

    Totally agree about the ending. The entire story and plot development is very well explained up until the ending chapters where it is so implicative in a way that basically just verbally spams a jargon and lexicon of “destiny intertwined with fate”. The annoying part is that there IS reasoning for this, the game just takes a turn in its final moments of not explaining that in a down to earth way.

    Such a well written review by someone who played the original, understood the themes of the original and how it carried over to this remake. A rare W for ign. 👍

    IGN failed to answer the most important question on everyone’s minds: can we take Barret on a date in the Gold Saucer?

    Square releasing two amazing Final Fantasy entries within a year of each other is absolutely mind blowing to me.

      Possibly three entries depending on FFXIV Dawntrail's release date.

      You’re not seriously saying that 16 was “amazing” are you?

      @@TMoney-wt1cw Well given that it was critically praised and very well recieved by a majority of the public, with it having both high critic and audience scores, it being nominated and winning some awards, selling well, and having it's DLCs greenlight only a few weeks after it release which further indicates it success;
      Yes, FF16 is an amazing game.

    As an FF7 fan I’m happy you gave it a 9 but that was a shitload of problems you had with it. You guys had essentially 0 problems with Persona 3 Reload and that still got a 9 as well

    Unfortunately the convoluted parts, instead of being edited, were expanded on. Not going to lie, most games from Japan go that rout.
