Eurog*mer: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth review - an overstuffed but lovable re-imagining

Rebirth is a playful take on an emo classic that's bloated but full of character in a bid to justify its own existence. [...]

Final Score 4/5

G*merescape: Review: Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth

Maybe it'd be nice to say that we all should have gotten over Final Fantasy VII by now instead of fawning over the world and its characters. But far from being the simple note-for-note reprise of the original that it could have been, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth swings for the fences to be a big and original thing that feels like a full game even while it is, functionally, the middle. It has weaknesses like combat I'm not wholly sold on and maybe a bit too much start-and-stop through gameplay, but if you've been looking forward to the game, you will not be disappointed. And if you want to experience the full story, this is a really good time.

Final Score 8/10

r/Games

If this keeps up, it'll tie FINAL FANTASY IX as the highest rated FF and JRPG of all time (not counting ports, enhanced re-releases, and remasters).

JRPG bros are we actually back? Do I actually need to get this? :marseysweating:

ff8 and everything after ff9 are entirely different genres if games where you play a kpop star in a fantasy setting.

6 => 7 => 10 > 9 > 5 > Dimensions 1 > 10-2 > 4 > 11 = 14 > 12 = Tactics Advance > 3 > 8 > 1 > 2 = 13 >>>>>> 15

the definitive FF tier list... of what i've played !g*mers

I just beat Remake for the 3rd time last night, about to try Intermission for the first time, and I think the combat, challenge, and characters are absolutely perfect.

highly looking forward to Rebirth but not needing a PS5 to play it

Especially with the soymake

So the order for maximum seethe generation would be:

15 > 7 > 13 > 2 > 1 > 8 > 3 > 4 > 12 > 11 > 16 > 10 > 5 > Tactics > 9 > 14 > 6

That seem right?

Want me to throw in Chocobo Mystery Dungeon as well? Maybe The Final Fantasy Legend trilogy? The Crystal Chronicles?

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance > Final Fantasy Tactics

I didn't upmarsey you to let you know I disagree with your opinion

I upsorrened you because I'm neurodivergent and downsorrens gives me motion sickness but Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is the greatest non- Fire Emblem grid based strategy game on handheld

Wow, it might get a PC release the same year. That's new for them.

Probably will never play because Square Enix never puts games on sale and they are charging $70 and splitting it in 3 parts AND has DLC :marseyxd:

>Square Enix never puts games on sale

LOL wut

i just got remake intergrade on PC half off. It's on sale every two months. I daresay Squenix runs sales the most frequently of any developer I see on Steam.

I am seeing wishlist notifications about them at least that often.

and they are charging $70 and splitting it in 3 parts AND has DLC

meanwhile I bought the game twice and think it was totally worth it both times.

i am seriously considering buying a ps5 just for Rebirth and dumping it after

Im not seeing any comments about how they handled level caps, the shitty battle system, or any carry over from the last game.

No mention of if they returned base magic like reflect.

First one was reskinned trash and this one will be the same. Just make a new game already
