Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Reviews
This installment builds on and improves upon what made REMAKE so great, namely beautiful scenery and epic music in addition to the best in class battle system, while one of that game's flaws, namely the dearth of side content, although the story segments can still suffer from filler content at times. It expands, improves Nd subverts enough to create a thrilling experience for veterans and newcomers alike.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is awesome. FFVII Remake's excellent battle system is further enhanced, the story leaves the player (whether a veteran or newcomer to the series) intrigued to know what will happen, and there is an immense amount of content to be explored.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth knocks it out of the park. It takes the already excellent first game and expands it to a bigger and more populated world. The combat has been improved, the dungeon design is better, the story hits a lot more than it misses, and from start to finish, it was pretty much everything I could've wanted. Only a few nagging problems keep it from perfection, and it's a love letter to everything that makes Final Fantasy VII great.
Square Enix puts its best face forward with an excellent PC port for one of its best games in years. It's not totally perfect, but the truth is that they have managed to encapsulate the best of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on a new platform.

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is one of the best RPGs out there and it performs exceptionally well on Switch 2; well, if you can look past the slight drop in graphical quality when playing on the big screen. ☄️
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH takes what made REMAKE work and expands on the formula in nearly every way imaginable from its rewarding combat and exploration to its absolutely hilarious humour. As a long-time fan, I'm incredibly happy with what it has to offer.
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH on Switch 2 achieves something particularly difficult: translating a world of enormous scale to more limited hardware without losing its essence. Despite the inevitable technical limitations, the adventure retains its narrative power, exploration, and capacity to surprise. It's not the most spectacular version of the game, but it is one of the most impressive in terms of adaptation. It is, in essence, the same great work, now with a different way of being enjoyed.

While Final Fantasy VII Rebirth certainly pushes the Nintendo Switch 2 to its absolute limits, resulting in some occasionally questionable textures and infrequent frame rate dips, this is absolutely the most impressive port to the Nintendo Switch 2 from a sheer scope perspective. While other recent ports like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle have shown that the system can compete with more focused adventures, the bustling world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is simply mind-boggling when you have it all sitting within a tablet in the palm of your hands.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth turns the middle chapter of Square Enix’s remake trilogy into an unexpected apotheosis, expanding Cloud’s journey with richer characters, brilliant combat, and more than 70 hours of essential RPG adventure.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Xbox Series X|S is the most technically complete version the trilogy's second chapter has ever seen on console. It features three graphics modes with options the original PS5 lacked, VRR, fast loading times, and a bonus Leviathan to celebrate the release.

On the Switch 2 Rebirth continues to pull the player in with its impressive amount of content. At a cheaper price point and packed with accessibility features, I recommend this to anyone that has a Switch 2 and is yet to experience this masterpiece.
This is the most complete version of Final Fantasy that has been released and it isn’t even the complete Final Fantasy VII story. There is so much here that should influence the franchise moving forward and, more importantly, to enjoy in the here and now, that I can’t wait to see where we go next.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is exactly the kind of sequel we expect to see in major franchises: bigger, bolder, and better in virtually every aspect that made Remake a success. The narrative remains engaging, the open world is constantly rewarding, the combat has gained new layers of depth, and the amount of optional content is impressive from start to finish. Even with some excesses in the minigames, the overall quality of the package is hard to ignore. At the same time, this Switch 2 version makes it clear that the hardware had to make concessions to accommodate an experience of this scale. Still, considering Rebirth's ambition, we hope that future updates can improve some of these issues.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth builds upon the already magnificent remake of the trilogy's first installment—and manages to take things to an even higher level. The open world, visual presentation, and musical score combine to create a fantastic title for the Nintendo Switch 2. Added to this are main and side quests that are both varied and engaging, set within a multifaceted game world. Technical quirks are barely noticeable, as they detract from neither the flow of gameplay nor the overall enjoyment. The forty hours spent on the main story feel like time truly well spent, and I will likely continue working through a few remaining side quests with Cloud and company to explore every last corner of Gaia.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on the Switch 2 is full of compromises, sure. That didn’t stop it, though, from being an impressive port of one of the best RPGs in recent years. It’s blurry and unstable in handheld mode, and I do agree that these distract from the experience, but the brilliance of its combat, characters, and storytelling isn’t lost to the weaker hardware. It may not replace the PS5 version, but as a way to experience a massive adventure like this anywhere you want, Rebirth feels at home on Nintendo’s handheld hybrid.
The action on the screen is consistently excellent on the Switch 2's display, and the text is easy to read, even in the menus. And venturing outdoors with Cloud and his companions on adventures is a truly special experience that quickly makes you (at least for us) forget the graphical limitations.

An all-time great JRPG with amazing gameplay, gorgeous graphics, likeable characters and a legendary story. Sadly brought down a notch by meaningless padding and some technical porting hiccups. All things considered, Final Fantasy Rebirth is a must-play, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super excited for part 3 of this epic game.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Nintendo Switch 2 is a technical feat that impresses time and again. The fact that this massive RPG is playable on a handheld console remains almost absurdly impressive. The atmosphere, soundtrack and combat largely hold up, but at the same time you can constantly feel how hard the hardware has to work to keep everything running. Blurry visuals, pop-in and, above all, frame drops crop up regularly. My score is partly based on the fact that I can also play this game on PS5, but if you only have a Switch 2, I definitely recommend this game and you can safely add a point to the score.

It’s not the flawless port that *Remake* was—it has plenty of graphical compromises—but *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* still packs a punch on the Nintendo Switch 2. Despite the inevitable limitations of porting a game released just two years ago on the PS5, *Rebirth* remains a spectacular title, one of the best RPGs of this generation, and is now perfectly playable on the go.

Despite some minor performance issues, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is yet another excellent port from Square Enix. Even with the challenges of bringing the title to a weaker platform, the developer managed to deliver a very good product that allows console owners to continue experiencing the trilogy of remakes of one of the most iconic JRPGs of the 32-bit generation.
