Thank you for the review!
So where's the skull and bones video?
No worries, brotherman, I’m just glad to hear your opinions on the game! Even for things I knew I’d grab, your feedback helps me mentally prepare for any hitches & issues I might run into. Much love to you, keep it 100 🔥
If there’s a lot of other things you wanted to say that you didn’t, would it be worth making a follow up video now that it’s released.
For me, its very encouraging that most of the cons seem to be on the technical end. Those things absolutely matter and should be addressed. However those things rarely take away from my enjoyment of a game. The pros list the story, combat, world and gameplay? Hell yeah. Those are literally the most important things, to me at least
I agree, its just surprising about the visual set backs. FF16 had the same visual issues at launch, figired that'd of been addressed for rebirths launch. I had to play 16 in graphics mode, blurr in performance just bothered me. Probably play rebirth the same
@@dbeardsley0 very fair. Considering how much bigger rebirth is than ff16 in terms of things to do and world space, this might explain some of that
@@dbeardsley0ff7 isn’t blurry at all
This is why I think I'll wait for the PC version. I want this game to look as good as possible with really high smooth frame rates. I'm smart and patient I'll be happy to wait for the better version of the game.
Yeah complaints are mostly superficial
I love your final notes that world isn't full of random stuff to do. So glad it didnt take that AC route where theres just way too many collectibles and simple side quests. Very excited!
Nah everything actually benefits you and is fun and then there's alot with actual meaning
Yes less bloat more meaning
@@petebagwell6666 thats best way to do side quest
As long as it isn't full of filler like the first one. Man it was horrible how they dragged that out .
@@cdmanjakthe first game failed in that aspect in my opinion. It was dragged out and ruined a great game for me.
No spoilers. That is appreciated most of all.
Do a lot of reviewers spoil during their videos? Genuinely curious.
@@hypolyxa7207Some do. I read Gamespot spoiled the ending to this game in their review.
3:38 Don't tell me Barrett voice doesn't sound like the voice you gave him in your mind!? When I first played FF7 I always imagined his voice being Mr T.
Exactly. Back in late 90s, first time seeing him in the reactor...I was laughing hard...saying I pity da foo!!!
Honestly the main cast's voices are pretty spot on for me except maybe Tifa, but I still like the performance given there!
I must say they absolutely nailed the voice cast. People have told me Barrett sounds like a caricature but I actually find there is nuance and levels that go far beyond the PS1 version. Excited for Rebirth.
these people are honestly fools. Barret sounds very different on more tragic and serious moments. Folks just dont have media literacy
"You won't meet anything above nine feet that doesn't have its own theme song."
Or seven feet, in Sephiroth's case.
Appreciate you getting these reviews out back to back
you bet
You're one of the few reviewers that I trust to not jump down spoilery rabbit holes. Thanks for your balanced insight on this title!
It's time for a lights-out on content for me. I'm looking forward to the 29th!
Happy gaming, everyone!
No worries!
Yeah cuz I heard the gamespot review spoils the ending
Thanks for covering the technical stuff and content without diving into spoilers or story stuff. Great review 👍
ACG review!!!!!! The only one I need but honestly, I'm eating up all the reviews to live vicariously through them.
Wow what a great review. So many I've seen either talk it up like it has no flaws, or just tries to shit all over it. You had a great balance and I just wanted to say I appreciate that
He always has a great balance.
I don't see people shitting on this game besides the typical "I don't like remakes" crowd which has no real argument besides "original is better/I like turn based" which is quite irrelevant to the quality FF 7 Rebirth. Almost all reviews have been great for this game as it sits at like 93/100 on Metacritic with over 100 reviews. Square even lets reviews come out a week before release which is a sign of confidence on their end.
it‘s getting absolutely rave reviews what are you talking about
I play all my games on 30fps 4k mode anyway 🤪
All he did was nitpick and not talk about THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: the story
This isn't a review.
Nice review ACG. It has a 93 on metacritic based on 114 reviews. You and others have given it some high praise so I cannot wait to dive into this game!
Thanks for the info!
Just w8 day or two u will see how PC players will destroy this score cuz of the salt
Hi i just wanted to ask is the pop in normal because i thought something was wrong with my tv and console
Super excited for this next week! Great review as always ACG!
Hope you enjoy it!
Just a headsup that @ 4:28 there’s a repeat in the audio
Got a hard copy of Rebirth reserved at GAME in Lancaster. I'm literally gonna be waiting outside the shop before they even open up at 9am on Thursday morning 😂😂😂
Hope you have a great time with it! Nice one.
Lancaster tx?
Is there unlockable outfits that you can change to during the game? (outside of the swim wear lmao)
You always have the best reviews, thank you for what you do!
Have you read the gamespot review. Is what happens really that bad ? (I didn't want them to change what happens)
Did you play 30 or 60fps? Has the 60fps visual mode fixed from the demo or is it the same in the full game.
Remake had better visuals in performance.
It's it playable in 30fps?
playable in 30 I played much in 30 because the 60 is rough
I'm looking forward this.
I played the original FF7 and it was so big it took me well over a year to finish and still didn't do everything.
This is a top series where money = great entertainment value.
Can’t wait for the Dragons Dogma review!
Hope to see this on PC this year, they mentioned in one of the previews that the soonest it would be out on "other platforms" was this summer so hopefully it won't be a 2 year wait like the previous game. Glad it's been getting great reviews so far.
i wonder when it comes to pc... :0
Ya will be fun
I read that the exclusivity it's just 4 months. So maybe we will have to wait a little
oh not bad
Yea maybe this summer or this holiday anyway
Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to what you have to say with Dragon's Dogma 2.
You and me both!
Yea this channel delivers!
Great review Karak. May not be getting it straight away but will be picking it up
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.
Great review as always ACG! Slightly off topic, but where is the review for Rogue Trader?
Solid review as always, Karak! Thank you! God bless and stay safe!
Thanks for the heads up, I bought this one long in advance and knew what I was getting into, but I do always enjoy your reviews even if it’s a game I already paid for.
Are the colors that drab in game or is that how your recording processed it?
its the video
You know it’s a great review when people aren’t in the comments saying the rating. We hang onto every word of your reviews!
Thanks for the review from a long time fan from new zealand! Have a great weekend, im looking forward to Dune part two. Do you like Dune Karak?
Damn, it seems like it's finally time to get PS5. Rebirth, DD2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, etc. + the games that are already here like DSRemake, FFXVI, etc.
They'll be on PC
Yeah in a couple years @@fillerbunnyninjashark271
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271honestly better to just spend $500 and buy a PS5 and enjoy the games now then wait
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 Well ya but in 8-10 Months
@@stardestroyer1610 probably way sooner since the writing is on the wall. PC does better than console in unit sales
Totally off topic, but what are your thoughts on Helldivers 2?
It rarely ever lets me play
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.
Thanks for the review. I'm debating if I wait and see if PC gets announced for this year or play it on my ps5. I have a gut feeling pc will take at least a year so if I run out of games before dragons dogma I might just take the plunge
I love your channel!
Thank you!
Seriously, thank you for the non-bs reviews.
I feel like mirror Hercules with this because there's only one thing they actually Needed to do with part deux, and it was add a JUMP button.
Don't care about in battle, I mean in the field, exploring.
Why this decision?
Zelda learned.
Souls learned.
Dragon Quest learned.
Why not Final Fantasy?
Hell, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest had one on the SNES.
And Samus could grab ledges years before Lara on the same SNES.
So again I ask, why this decision?
Just wanted to say that you have some of the cleanest, crispiest footage of this game I've seen. Whatever your capturing process is like, well done!
Waited all morning for this review. Superb as always ACG, thanks!
My pleasure!
Memory limitation of a Speak & Spell? LOL!!! I actually just bought one as an extra bday present for my kid and they like it.
Great and energetic review👌🏾
That is awesome! and to be honest I liked speak and spells
Great review as always sir even if the nda is what it is. Hopefully we will get a pc release this year maybe.
This was one of the best reviews I've watched in a long time. Positive, but not gushing praise, critical, but measured criticism. It felt like a really fair representation of your time with the game. Well done! I subbed.
I haven’t played part one yet would it be better to start now or wait until all 3 are out
There's an official summary on yt or in the rebirth game itself called 'the story so far', it's just 4min. If u wanna play it now or when the whole trilogy is out, that's up to u if u can wait
4:27 *ROCK AND STONE* sounds.
The way this 'series' works is weird to me. You continue right from where you were at the end of the last game but you're back to doing single digit damage and presumably only a handful of abilities after a 40+ hour escapade through Midgar. Do they at least acknowledge that or do you have to kind of suspend your disbelief and roll with it? I know it makes sense given the way this release is going, I know I'm not familiar with anything I was doing four years ago, but I'm curious how it works in the narrative.
I like that you clearly care a lot about the sounds of a game. Its an under-appreciated and under considered element of a game.
Can someone just tell me if you can control other characters while free roaming after beating the game??
very excited for this!
Why does the colors and brightness in your footage look so weird?
Im waiting for a ps5 pro before I get this. It might clear up some of the technical points.
Awesome review! Was expecting the open world to give them issues so not seeing that as a surprise but glad it's not a dealbreaker ^^
1:45 second ad. no skip option.
I love love love your content. Please keep it going.
😂😂😂😂😂 the description of Barret's gun made me rewind 3 times... It sounds like a kid going brrrrrrrr 😂😂😂
This better have all the Bahamut summons, Neo Bahamut and Zero. Nothing like calling in an orbital strike from a space dragon, onto some small cactus creature.
haha the cactus still alive after all that
Neo and Zero might only be in the 3rd game since you don’t get them before reaching the Forgotten City in the original.
That "small cactus creature" can only be reliably hit with a N/A Elemental Summon, so it's not really overkill when you don't have many options that aren't Limit Breaks.
Bahamut Zero won't be in until part 3...
I read all Bahamut name in TFS Barret voice. Help me.
I'll see about it next year when it comes to PC.
Great review and going to play this game.
Great review. So hyped to play FF 7 Rebirth next week.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for the review!
First balanced review Ive seen. Can always trust ACG
Whenever I see Cloud running I just keep thinking. He must be slicing his left arm on his Buster Sword.
Man I cant wait to play this. Gonna have to hold out til it goes on sale though. Which honestly seems to be the way to go now with games. GIve it a few mths after launch let the devs release some bug fixing patches and then buy it when it goes on sale.
Was waiting for this review
thanks for watching
It’s great! Exactly has a follow up game should be.
10:44
That water animation (or lack of) is straight out of PS3 era.
These Reviews are awesome! If you fail to actually mention Buy, wait for a sale, or never touch....please put on the Screen at the end of the video!
Yep I always say it though
apologies then as I must have missed it! Thanks again@@ACGreviews
@@Donjuan77 I don't hear him say it either
Warpig is a pirate legend from what I hear. What a stud he must be. Anyway keep up to great work bud.
I am on CLOUD 9 with this FINAL review of this FANTASY game! That is all.
I am playing the waiting game going to wait till the third game is released then binge through them all
I admire your restraint!
Thank God, not a fanboy review at last. I need a real review not some middle aged adult gushing over a game he played 25 years ago. Also, can't trust reviewers that ignore the visual problems of the game. Good job, mate, you climbed my "Trusted reviewers" list immensely, I'll be watching more of you in the future.
I miss playing ff7 as one big sprawling epic. I hope they combine the games in some way, if not as one continuous game with shared progression at least as a mass effect legendary edition kind of trilogy package.
I imagine they will. You can already buy the Twin Pack which has both Remake and Rebirth in them. So I'd be surprised if they didn't end up having a bundle with all 3 games once they're finished.
Gonna take up all the space on your hard drive😂
@@ItsYuhBoyyyy they could just bundle it with a ff7 themed External SSD lmao
@@cstrife420 when has that ever been done?😭
@@ItsYuhBoyyyy tlou2 had a special edition that came with a hdd that had ellies tattoo on it i believe. Or it was atleast bundled with a copy of the game at some point
I'm really not a fan of these muted colors. Unless it's intentional, the rocks looks really really gray in this game.
its the video
I wonder if you can get Clouds titular omnislash in this one. I remember in the original you could get it by the end of Disc 2.
No Omnislash, and Rebirth covers Disk 1, not 2-3.
Thanks ACG, much appreciate these reviews.
you bet
"Performance and quality have tradeoffs" well duh! 😂
Speak n spell is a deep cut lol. Great review.
Great job. I always tend to agree perfectly with your review. So that is "fun as hell" made me confident that I did well in pre ordering.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Did they get rid of the harry potter dementors or what?
The only review I've been waiting for
I can't wait to play this game.
Game Looks great at times, and battles are interesting and fun.
But the underwhelming openworld running around and awful minigames are awful at times.
Not feeling the game as much as i thought i would
Hoping my time in the game improves
in ACG we trust
Everyone complains about Perf and Quality tradeoffs.... but isn't that the case for EVERY PS5 games?
Depends on the size of the trade off
There’s ps2 textures in this trash. Could’ve been on ps4
@@Dale-jr7ojthere’s no ps2 textures stop lying
I can already see this being my GOTY. I can’t wait
What's with the weird color in the video?
Very weird that the 10+ reviews that I listened to explained that there was so much stuff to do in the world that they got caught up in them and forgot about the main story. And then explain there was still stuff they needed to do 80+ hours into it.
Dude can’t wait!!
The absolute best review this game is going to get! Good stuff, sir!
Glad you think so!
Loving the demos and really getting the combat down. Exploring is pretty good. However, I am terrified how the story will pan out...
Why
@@rommelthedesertfox3089 because if the story is bad the game will be all style and no substance, a big open game with lots to do but no core. It could be remembered not for being one of the greatest game ever but 'the one they didn't kill Arieth in' and have it mired in decades of controversy and resentment.
@@Johnnybox81 ACG said the story is one of the pros and basically all the cons were only technical I trust his judgment and the game already has a 93 on metacritic the 2nd highest rated final fantasy game ever It’s safe to say it will go down in history as a masterpiece
Is it a buy or wait for sale?
I pre-ordered this game, but at the same time, I really appreciate you giving such an honest review, including the jank. Great review.
I’m glad I’m alive to experience this. I’m hoping Chrono Trigger gets the Remake treatment after FFVII
So it's like Triple Triad meets Gwent, Sweet!!
I was waiting for this review more than any others
thanks!
Thank you for the review.
No worries!
Here's to hoping the PC port fixes these issues.
playing it for 2 weeks. Envy is real.
Meanwhile people on Reddit deny the game was even blurry in the demo
Something is going on in Japan because these studios are back on top form and it's amazing to see. Maybe it's because there's less focus on cynical live services?
I'm not sure Square Enix is a good exemple of a less cynical studios that wouldn't do live services games.
@@Itsmemario24sadly I don’t play games with male only leads but yes Japan has had some decent games recently
Tho their stories have been hit and miss with bad endings a lot, looking at you xc3
Actually, yeah. I missed the ball there haha@@HalfpennyTerwilliger
Since remake got a complete edition with Integrade i'll push playing this out about a year and then hopefully a PC Port will have the fidelity and 60+
