Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Review - An Unabashed Masterpiece
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 фев 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.

This game is freaking incredible. Combat, pacing, side stuff, characters, graphics and beautiful environments that I spent way too long just looking at lol. Its near perfection!
I'm having one of those "is this actually happening" moments.
I think I'm calling in dead next week.
😂😂
I put in time off 6 months ago for the first half of March to enjoy this game 🎮
I'm still not a fan of the direction they went with the story but the gameplay looks great
Booked the Friday off.
I marked my holidays, cant wait!
The game is amazing. I’m on chapter four right now. Remake was amazing too.
you've got 50 hours to go....if not more
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?
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.
Cheers m8 i was single digits and never got to play the original. I am so excited for this game and I hope it does the same for you!
Same here, and I'm getting ridiculously hyped with all these good reviews. If they've really nailed this, it's going to be the game of the decade for me easily.
I have to say, Japan seems to really understand the idea of a Remake. Capcom has knocked it out of the park with RE4 remake and now Square Enix with FF7 Rebirth! Along with numerous others that I’m sure you will know.
@@thechicagobox solid take. I agree!
Final fantasy on a roll, between 7, intergrade, this one, and 16 all within the past 5 years or so, very impressive
Also Endwalker
Yes 7, 14, and 16 truly have the series in a Renaissance. They’ve found their magic again
16 was crap though
@@Kumire_921 yep, got that right
@@Kumire_921 really? I never finished it but I liked what I played of it.
Hands down the best Rebirth review! Thank you for making it interesting, and covering all the best parts, as I had to watch till the end. And I now have more motivation to finish the game.
Yeah i agree this game is amazing. It has some flaws but what game doesn't. Easily in my top 5 games list of all-time
I’m so glad this game is finally getting the love it deserves like it was back then in 1997. The dev team should know how much we really appreciate their dedication and craft to the game and community. PROUD TO BE AN FF FAN.
Proud as well i started my first time around 2021 ❤️ now im hooked lol
I spent 100s of hours on that original ❤❤❤
Don't kid yourself, the ending is total crap
Idk what everyone is on about but this game is 98% side content. It felt real tedious for me..like an endless side quest. And mundane tasks. I've gamed for 20+ years and love the OG. It really burnt me out. Sadly. Some of you will call me a snowflake but are you true gamers? Face reality and the truth.😊
FF7, DD2, Elden Ring DLC. We eating good as RPG fans this year
Yakuza 8, Ys X, Trails thrugh daybreak, great year to go bankrupt.
also smt 5 vengeance coming to pc. what a year it's going to be.
THIS, and we are only in the first quarter of the year lol, lets pray live service games in their current state die so we can eat like kings
@@MichaelThompson-gy7um besides Helldivers 2 and I agree can’t stand these live service games
What's DD2?
2024 is shaping up to be a great year for RPGs
Hell yea
This is looking good 👍. Now after buying this day one. I can wait to play this on a playstation 5 pro.😊😊😊
@@marcosalvarez5712 patience
@@marcosalvarez5712lmao waste of money
What other rpgs do you mean
when part 3 is done, i want part 1,2,3 rolled into a single game for ps6
It won't be called PS6...it will be called PS next gen....just to really confuse people.
@@Brandon-ew9vznaw that's xbox that does shit like that, when has PlayStation ever named their console something other than the next logical number
My favorite game of all time, I am so happy that Rebirth is universally loved. I am going to be living in this game next week.
I can’t believe this is actually happening. It seems to be exactly what I was scared to dare hope for. Square has done it, and I think the Final Fantasy brand has reclaimed its golden throne in the genre as the undeniably industry leader. The gameplay looks literally perfect and I know I’m gunna sob like a baby
Amen ❤️
Cheesy af voice acting and gameplay.
@@Starch1b2c3d4a go back to cod then no one cares
@@PenguinsAreColdish
Well ..
Let's not forget that this story was written by a Japanese team. So cringy anime stuff is expected. Also let's not forget, many things we loved back in the day feels cringe and cheesy now.
embrace the cringe@@fajaradi1223
Man I just started the game and man it’s so fun so far! And man the music after you catch piko is 🔥
I need to start the second part of the demo and putting in my pre-order too. This game looks amazing and the first part of the demo was great!! I cant wait!
Preorders are sold out from what I understand. Good luck. Should’ve preordered months ago
Playing through remake right now, hoping to play this in a month
Remake was boring. Play this right away
@@anastacioiii4047u should probably let people play what they want and how they want
@@anastacioiii4047wrong
Remake was NOT boring. what are you smoking? You think it was like Animal Farm or something? FF7 is not boring whatsoever. @@anastacioiii4047
@@anastacioiii4047shhhh lil boy, if you didn’t like it, don’t speak for others that will
This, along with STALKER 2 and Space Marine 2, is one of the few games I've been extremely excited for for a while. I even saved up some PTO to take the release weekend off of work, which is the first time I've done that for a game release. lol Super excited to get to play it.
Really impresive review!!
man RUclips is going crazy. i watched 4 videos in total including this and all of them had 2 unskippable 15 second long ads...wtf
Revanced youtube ftw 🎉
NOT 15 SECONDS!!!!
revanced isnt for pc@@obersturmbannfuhrer60311
get ublock origin, sponsorblock for youtube, and youtube enhancer. They are all browser extensions and make youtube pretty much exactly like revanced, the thing the other comment mentioned.
Gotta earn those dollars
It sounds like the cons could be fixed in a simple update
I hope so tbh
Doubt it hope PC comes sooner then later
@@asjejePeople who say this don’t actually play on PC. Remake had a horrible port and they only updated it twice. Majority of Square’s ports are awful to mid at best.
@@NotCharAznableyeah luckily the players fixed the issues pretty quick
@@NotCharAznablewhich is the point of a pc port imo lol
Replaying Remake right now, and just got to the haunted train yard. I’m hoping that if I time this right, I’ll be finishing up just in time for Rebirth to hit. I’ve never done the Yuffie stuff before either, so that’s all new content for me.
Yuffie side content is definitely recommended. Her battle mechanics are fun to master.
Start the yuffie content now, get to after fighting a boss in a red dress, beat the main game, finish the dlc, that's what I'm doing my dude, I'm roughly just after you trying to do the same, gonna start nibleheim on Thursday and play the main game at midnight lol
You have to play yuffie… it’s just a few hours long, but her combat is amazing…. Triangle triangle square square square repeat as long as you wish…. End it with a triangle to throw weapon and hold square to do a ground attack area of effect strike.
So much more you can do with her combat but that’s the bread and butter right there.
The yuffie dlc is so good lol also the fort condor minigame is so fun
Im actually trying to platinum REMAKE before going REBIRTH... goodluck to me cause I still in chap 6 and fighting that air buster...
Rebirth is without the doubt the Final Fantady game we have been waiting for 2 decades and also the kind of modern remake that the actual remake should have been
I cant believe that Square-Enix finally managed to get it right, its almost as if entirely different studio made this game, because there's so much obvious love poured into this game
“Diagetic”. I had to look it up, and I love that you bringing new words to learn while making a great review.
Well done, and man I’m excited. After a few big budget duds, this is a no brainer. Thank you.
Solid review, can’t wait
Dropping reviews 7 days before release is ballsy. Square must know they have got a hit with this one.
And all of them are giving great reviews...
Sometimes a game is good, @Yoids
A good game is a good game
I haven't seen a single bad review for the game so far. Literally not a single review below an 8/10. This game is going to be a once in a lifetime experience!
7 days you say.. heh.
great review.
Cool review!!!🎉🎉🎉
can't wait for next Friday....
The midgar zolom better be so OP that you can’t beat it when you first encounter it.
@@BIGFELLAH26 terrible ideas? That’s how it worked in the original game and was an awesome experience when you could finally come back around and was strong enough to beat it…
There is more than a 50% chance it works just how I explained.
I totally agree!!! I wanna go power up and feel good for finally beating it. That’s the type of gameplay that makes me so happy lol
Laugh now children…. Go ahead and poke your fun, but just remember they are making this game for ME and MY generation.
Guarantee if we took a poll of people familiar with ff7 90% will want the zolom OP for the first encounter.
Not only was it awesome to use it as a measuring stick, storywise they used the encounter to SHOW how much more powerful sephiroth was than you. It’s actually a pretty important story arc in the big scheme of things…. So go ahead… poke fun…. Laugh now…. And when the zolom runs your ass on first encounter, just remember I’m sitting here smiling my ass off.
Well, the chapter 2 content is released and played for those that had access to it and put on RUclips. It includes the Midgar Zolom segment. If you want to know now, you can.
@@vincentgraymore yeah I’m going to count that as a win for me! Whether or not you can come back and fight it again later remains to be seen, but I think that played out close enough to how I described.
So eat it NERDS!!!!!!!!!
We’re in for a treat!
Great review! Anybody know the name of the music around 6:17?
A 10? Why am i not surprised. 👍🏽 Thanks SE and Sony.
It looks so good. Can’t wait to play this on my PS5
I am very excited for rebirth! Dang they are killing it right now huh? Final fantasy 16 I thought was amazing and now early reviews on rebirth are very promising.
This was a thorough review. Others have been telling some kind of pointless life story or trying to place themselves into the world with a bunch of senseless emotional baggage. Keep up the good work.
It is gonna be a joy when it comes out.
Square Enix has been killing it. I loved Dragon Quest XI, Octopath II, FF7 Remake, and FFXV (and a few other smaller games that they have published), and I had a feeling they would knock this out of the park. Really excited to play this one.
Just got done with the main campaign of like a dragon infinite wealth. Can’t wait to get my hands on this masterpiece now!
Bring on 11pm tonight!!!
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 😂
This will hold me over until Elden rings drops. They both look worthy of my time
I am so excited
The transmutation item is gifted to you by Broden not Chadley actually .
I remember it taking me a full school year and a half to actually beat the original game in middle school lol. Man, I think that was like 7th grade!
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.
I freaking hope it comes to PC this year
Important question!
As someone who only played through about a third of FF7 Remake, am I going to be missing out on any important Narrative if I jump straight into this game?
Yeah, not only will you see certain characters u have no idea who they are but you're already missing major info from crisis core and og since remake is a sequel to those
I mean yeah? It’s all the same story it’s less a sequel and more part2 of a story. You will miss extremely important info if you don’t finish remake
Absolutely buzzing
Thank you.
Did they remove the harry potter dementors or what?
For me, this was the only Final Fantasy they could not fail. After FF XV this was my only hope with the franchise and seeing that the game is successful makes me really happy.
16 was fun
score?
This year's trend in JRPG's: Protagonists with crazy hair wearing Hawaiian shirts and cursing along on segways.
Yesssssssssss 😍
The rare 10 from Gamespot. Wow!
I can’t wait to play this game soon because I love final fantasy 7 remake and this sequel looks amazing 😻
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. I can't wait for this to hit PC later this summer. I just hope it comes to Steam at the same time as EGS this go round.
Texture quality is the artists merit not the engine tho
@@DoomsdayMayBeOkay I'm aware it's normally an art issue for a game. But a newer engine can allow for higher resolution textures, or more complex textures overall. That's mainly why I said the UE4 engine here almost looks on par with UE5 texture wise aka I'm complimenting the art team :D
@@LordLOC later this summer? I wouldn’t get your hopes up. FF16 was 6 months exclusive and still hasn’t released on pc
@@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.
@@LordLOC FF16 showed it was 6 months exclusive just like Rebirth shows it is 3 months exclusive. Still don’t think you will see it that soon. But who knows
Oh good reviews coming means no delays this time. Honestly was getting ready for them to pull something so close to launch hence the last minute demo. Remember they delayed part 1 for a month or so after initial release date.
you can get omnislash in goldsaucer or golden chocobo to get knights of the rounds may be way cooler! since you can't play vincent&cid!
in the original !!!!!
Um, this will all be in part 3 my boy
Ten hours in and the usual problems with open world has made itself shown. Outside side quest and the main story it’s just filler, a Ubisoft open world design if you will.
At least
Is it proper open world? I found 16 to be a great game but I thought the size of the areas and how empty they were was a let down
It has about 6 large zones that is dense with content from what it sounds like. Looking to be a huge step up
It is not a full open world as the genre has today, but it has very open zones/regions that connect to each other, and you can travel the water between the continents. There's the room for at least a few more regions in the final part.
no, thank God. open world games arent good. these are well crafted zones with meaningful content.
This looks good but I can't help but feel the enthusiasm is not genuine. 'Parties level up and this actually unlocks new skills for each individual party member!' Yeah yeah pretty much every game ever does this. Why are you talking about it like it's massive and new. Might as well say 'you can attack enemies and destroy them to gain experience points!'
I think you misunderstood. They're saying there is a party level as well as individual character levels, both of which impact the characters differently.
It's not a particularly unique concept but it also is not as universal as what you were saying.
I am beyond hype
This game looks LIT 🤙🏽
Playstation 5 pro with final fantasy 7 rebirth can wait.😊😊😊🎉
Square Enix with better devs,I cant wait
I LOVE ff7 and ALL ff!
The climbing mechanic in the demo felt stiff for sure. It can be fixed with a patch and I hope it is. I dont expect Cloud to climb as well as Aloy, but could be better.
I'll be honest, the completely static grass & plant life looks kind of strange in a world where games like Horizon Forbidden West have been out for a long time now. That game makes this one look like a PS4 game.
I feel the graphics could be better for sure, although I get that sacrifices had to be made to get the game developed quickly & with such a massive world. I do hope they spend time improving these elements via updates.
Why no Cait Sith footage?
He comes in 2/3 through the story chapters and reviewers are requested to keep footage to Ch 1-2.
Does it make up some reason why we start over as level 1 and don’t have all our shit from remake?
Restarting Remake then Intergrade on easy for the story recap. Then judmping into Rebirth. I have a few friends wanting to watch it via stream to learn the story so def doing that for them. Easy mode should let me breeze right through for em. We are talkig. Countless hours of game play
First.
Also. SOLDIER First Class
FINAL FANTASY IS BACK !!! KING OF THE JRPG GENRE ❤
This isn't a JRPG though. It's an action RPG
@@terminator2348 a rpg MADE IN JAPAN using a action system issa jrpg
It isn’t a jrpg
Not even an rpg lmfao
Jrpgs do not require turn based. Are you telling me the original tales of phantasia for snes isn't a jrpg??
I cant fucking wait. I got covid too so I got the week off and can play like a degenerate on release day😂😂😂 Bravo Square!! I lost my mind seeing Ramuhs exit attack in the demo
My one minor complaint is when you go on a date with aerith, and you gotta find the shells ...it kinda breaks the immersion of being a date when everyone else is following you guys around lol...kinda dumb. 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
Is no one gonna mention Red 13 is riding a chocobo? OK cool I'm all in on this
This is probably the year of ps5
I wonder what part 3 will be like?
Goes up to advent children hopefully and more lol
@@_gonzalitokithat will be dlc
Game of the year nowwwwww
GOTY 2024 for sure
I am anxiously waiting journeys end…..
WHOMEVER created the clock trial inside of the cetra temple and signed off to n those traumatic ass scenes needs to be awarded and then promptly FIRED. the last two chapters of this game were so emotionally daunting for me.
i love this cast of characters and this story so much and they are doing these remakes so much justice.
the only complaint i have is the repetitive world intel, but i can see how it prepared me for endgame material
@Luigiplaya246 i didn’t like my own comment idk where you got your misinformation from but it seems like you’d be full of the wrong info
Damn! 10/10!!! I thoroughly enjoyed playing FFVII Remake on PC and it was so worth the wait escaping into that world! I know it's gonna be at least 2026 before I get to experience this follow up but it's clearly going to be well worth the wait!
Another PlayStation 5 banger 🔥
The trial was special looks breathtaking with an joyous soundtrack played it with the lights off and the headphones on and was blown away can't wait to play the full game could well be game of the year
Me: "Cait Sith was never a fan favorite"
This is one of the best years to be a JRPG fan, can’t wait to play this once I’m done with Persona 3 Reload.
How is 4 years short to make this game? They already had the foundation from the first remake
Hey I still never play FF7 Remake. Should I play it now or wait if it will get sale before Rebirth released on Steam?
Wait for a sale cause even though the remake is good you still got plenty of time so no need to rush
Right now there is a pack on ps5 where you get ff7 remake and rebirth for 70. 2 for the price of one.
Tell me the ending please
No!!!!!!!!
Sephiroth kills Barrett
Again?
I wonder what the ps5 pro version will look like…
exactly the same ….
Ps5 pro coming a bit too late unfortunately cause this game could really use it.
Can’t wait to play thing in 5 years on the pc lol
it only has 3 month time exclusivity on ps5 and sales for FF 7 remake on steam were really good so it will probably be on pc next year
BEST REVIEW I'VE SEEN KUDOS GAMINGBOLT!
I just really hope the PC port isn't too far behind. By too far, within 2 years is acceptable lol
Screw waiting 1-2 years. Just get a used ps5 and play it
I have questions:
Does the game have "random encounters" happening as you move in the world?
What happens if you need to leave the game while outside.. to use the toilet etc... can you pause the game? If you didnt pause.. could a random mob walk near you.. start an encounter and you find yourself dead when you return from your "afk"?
