Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Review - An Unabashed Masterpiece

Вставка
  • Опубліковано 21 лют 2024
  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the best RPG in decades. Rebirth delivers an epic, riveting campaign from start to finish. Meanwhile, it also builds on the excellent foundations of its 2020 predecessor in several meaningful ways, most prominent among them being a meticulously designed, massive open world that is brimming with incredible visual and mechanical variety.
    Thanks to the excellent quality of the game’s abundant optional content, the desire to go off the beaten path and explore never really diminishes, and all of this is tied together by in-depth, multilayered progression mechanics and one of the best combat systems you’ll ever see in a game. All said, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is an unabashed masterpiece.

    I was blown away over 20 years ago as a teenager by FF7 on PSX.
    It was a game changer to be sure.
    Looks like warm up is over now with the Remake, the team has found their pairing of modern and nostalgia for Rebirth. Can this old man be blown away again?

    • @GameArts1
      @GameArts1 5 місяців тому +4

      Yeah I think we will. Good or bad-we will :P. Imo the the atmosphere of FF7 was key, the music and the build up from midgar, to the open world, to Sephiroth and Clouds personal struggles. Some people just wanted a true remake, mods will do that for us in due time. I see these games/series as for what it is, an alternate version of the gem we played in the past.

      @davecross4493 3 місяці тому

      It's nothing like the original game. The plot is convoluted and distracting now and the gameplay itself is lots of padded out busy-work. If they had just made a single game without all this padding by expanding and tweaking the main plot points slightly, just essentially sticking to the same thing (but with new graphics and combat system), it would have gone down in gaming history. This, I promise you, will not. It seems to be a meta narrative for super fans who like the expanded media only. Not fans of the original game for what it is, or newcomers who will just be confused.
      For example, the Resident Evil Remakes got them right for the most part (except 3 which they royally messed up as they cut loads out and changed the story beats). In those games (1, 2 and 4), they updated the gameplay but stuck broadly to same narrative and plot points, expanding, cutting slightly or updating where it made sense. That's why RE2 Remake and RE4 Remake were so well received.

    This is looking really far into the future, but, while this will most likely be the best of the trilogy (it doesn’t have the onus of tying the whole nearly 30 years of content into a tight, satisfying ending) I really hope the next and final entry does the unthinkable and allows you to revisit the ENTIRE world that they have recreated. That’s what made the old Golden Age jrpg’s so legendary. Before the end, you could go back to everywhere you’ve been and discover more content. So here’s to a FF7 Remake part 3 that’s 4 discs and 200 hours of content 😂

    I still can't believe this is running on Unreal Engine 4. Even the texture quality is so high it looks like Unreal Engine 5. Maybe not every single texture, but you know what I mean.

      @@solid_justice5855 This one supposedly only has (either) a 2 month or 4 month console exclusivity deal. So, if that's the case, I'd imagine work on the PC port is already well on the way to being completed. FF 16 is another story altogether, being it's on a new in-house engine and not Luminous or UE4/5 like the rest of their modern games. Besides, the main producer on FF 16 never gave a date for a PC version, just that it was in the works, and would run best on an SSD if I remember right. And that news was in December as it is.

Because everything else in the game is so good. And that kinda ruined that part. I can't pretend I might get some off aerith if the whole gang is on the date too. I'm pretty sure she's not into that...but in all seriousness, its an outstanding game. But that really did stand out. Because your alone with her until you get on the chocobo and go on the brach. Then suddenly you got barret poppin up on a chocobo. It kinda ruined the moment lol

    My Top 3 All-Time Favorite FF Girls
    1. Tifa Lockhart (FF7)
    2. Yuna (FFX)
    3. Lulu (FFX)
    It’s Yuna from FFX and not from X-2 where she turned into a J-pop singer. 😂 I like Yuna’s virgin innocence from FFX.
    Tifa and Lulu have the big knockers. I’ve always liked Tifa’s personality more than Aerith (or Aeris) because I felt she always cared for Cloud and she always stood up for him. But I do like Aerith and hope this remake does remove her death scene working similar to a multiverse and an alternate timeline like Star Trek 2009.
    Lulu is my “Black Magic Woman” like that Santana song. Lulu is like that hot goth chick in high school who got hotter as she got older. She’s always acted mature well beyond her years. She’s listed to be only the age of 22 in FFX but she acts like some hot MILF in her late 20s to 30s. Or think Joan in the TV series, Mad Men.
    I grew to enjoy Yuna more over Lulu when beating FFX a second time on my cousin’s Vita OLED. Her summons are the most important to me when defeating Sin.
    My final party for the end of FF7 & FF10
    FF7 -
    Cloud (duh)
    Cid
    Yuffie
    FF10 -
    Yuna
    Auron
    Wakka
    Even though Yuffie isn’t one of my favorite characters and I hated her initially back in 1997 for stealing my Materia, I grew to enjoy using her after beating FF7 a third time on my modded PSP about 13 years ago. Apply her with 4X cut / critical hit and you’ll get 9999 every time. And her speed for turn-based fights and her level 3 Doom of the Living limit break kicks ass!
    For character, it’s Tifa. For player usage, it’s Yuffie. Now in FF10, Yuna is for character and for player usage. While Lulu is the stronger of the two girls during the first half of the game, once Yuna gets all her summons (or aeons), she’s the most powerful character in your party at the end of the game. Yuna’s class party is summoner and that’s what she is. Tifa is a regarded a monk. Aerith is a white mage. Lulu is a black mage like Vivi.
    While I do love Final Fantasy X and feel like it’s the last great FF game and the last time Hironobu Sakaguchi helped develop a FF game, I still do prefer Final Fantasy VII more. FFX is my favorite PS2 game of all-time but FF7 is my favorite video game, period. More memorable characters, gameplay, and music. Better story and tons of fun mini games in the Gold Saucer.
    I hope we get to buy the villa again in Costa del Sol which is named after a real region in Spain. I hope we can play volleyball like in Dead or Alive Xtreme and someone does a nude patch for Tifa and Aerith. I love my modded Vita for having a nude patch for Dead or Alive Extreme 3. All girls topless and Brazilian waxed.
    Tifa or Aerith is like asking Ginger or Mary Ann? Most Gilligan’s Island fans actually pick Mary Ann, but for this case, Tifa is Ginger AND Mary Ann. She has sex appeal and she’s wife material. Imagine getting the sweetness of Olivia Rodrigo or Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel) mixed with Alexandra Daddario or Sydney Sweeney’s huge rack and that’s Tifa.

    I honestly HATE hearing that they went with a cartoony style of writing throughout, although I am not one bit surprised, as that is pretty much how Japanese writing does things. Same with Anime. To be honest tho, I wish Japanese storytelling would evolve. It has been STALE as all hell for a long, LONG time now. Most Anime & JRPG characters these days are cookie cutter Trope factories. I am also not a fan of goofy, unrealistic character personalities.
    I would have much preferred this game kept the more realistic, serious story of the OG game, but of course the trends are what they are & this is the trend of Japanese writing at the moment, for better or for worse....
    I fear the characters in this game won't be the ones we know & love from the OG game, but instead will be replaced with mostly current Japanese tropes. Barrett for instance, he was about as serious as a heart attack thru most of the OG game, and that's EXACTLY how I like him! Now however he seems to be more of a goofball for comedic relief. That is not the Barrett I know & love.
    I truly hope this isn't a prevalent theme thru this game's character dialogue...

The foundation and story and characters are there. It’s just updating it while the tec to do so has been built long ago. Well before this second title in the series was teased.
    Idk about you but I expected the full game all at once not a decade+ of a multi part retelling of a story we know with slight differences and way more modern controls and visuals. This is one game released as early access in bits years apart.
