Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is often incredible and a top-tier experience in so many ways; however, some of its reliance on padding the experience with its open world and reliance on far too many mini-games, doesn’t always pay off.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues to blow me away with its thoughtful remake of one of the best games ever created, expanding the incredible story and opening up the gameplay to a more broadly appealing, exciting experience.
Square Enix transcends the Final Fantasy VII trilogy to new heights, providing a deeply captivating story and robust combat mechanics. These qualities, paired with entertaining main and side content, cements Final Fantasy VII Rebirth as one of the best RPGs of all time.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a game that exceeds the previous game in the series in every conceivable way. It looks better, it sounds better, there are more minigames (WAY more), the entire adventure is significantly longer and, most importantly, it hits many of the emotional highs and lows of the (almost) unbeatable Final Fantasy VII story. We meet more of the main characters of the original game in this outing, and they are more fleshed out than ever before.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth represents a new milestone for the franchise, combining classic elements with modern innovations to create an experience that feels both familiar and fresh. With its deep storytelling, expansive world, and refined gameplay mechanics, the title solidifies its place as one of the best RPGs of its generation. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a new player, Rebirth offers an unforgettable journey that’s worth embarking on (though you may want to wait for the PC version).

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC elevates the already stellar experience with exceptional optimization, quality-of-life improvements, and expanded gameplay customization. Its immersive exploration, engaging combat, and stunning visuals make it a must-play for fans of JRPGs, whether newcomers or returning players.
The continuation of the reimagining of Final Fantasy VII offers a vast world with a storyline and characters that are a joy to follow, and the few missteps in pacing and direction pale in comparison to how well this game succeeds in recreating a classic JRPG adventure.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth stands out as a significant reinvention of a classic, ambitiously expanding and reimagining its narrative, characters, and setting. The PC port elevates the experience with technical improvements and tweakable options, though there are still minor issues, such as a lack of support for certain technologies. Still, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a remarkable title that celebrates the legacy of the original while charting new paths. It’s an imperfect journey, but one filled with memorable moments that reaffirm the impact and relevance of this universe for fans new and old.

The PC port of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an example of how to adapt a great title to another platform without sacrificing quality, on the contrary, giving players even more options.

With "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth", Square Enix released the most anticipated sequel of the year on 29 February 2024. "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" is a true RPG masterpiece and has exceeded all our expectations. Nevertheless, the question remains as to how the third and final instalment should be designed, as Rebirth has set the bar pretty high. It even goes so far that the remake, which is due to be released in 2020, seems more like a prologue in hindsight.

Reliving the story of Final Fantasy VII has been a powerful experience. Rebirth delivers a rollercoaster of emotions and surprisingly managed to impact me just as much as the original.

I don't claim to hold the truth, but if you're fundamentally opposed to how Square Enix has handled this remake trilogy, this review won’t change your mind about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. However, I believe it’s a shame and unfair to Nomura and the team, who've delivered a compelling RPG experience. Despite technical flaws, the game offers dynamic combat and varied structure, making it one of the most beautiful and engaging Final Fantasy games.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an absolute masterpiece and the best Square Enix-branded title of recent years. A monumental work in which one breathes the love for the original work, here retraced and expanded, and which shows the new generations the true spirit of a saga capable of winning the hearts of millions of fans. There are those who will be able to make some criticisms against certain narrative choices (in our opinion, to be evaluated globally only with the arrival of the third and final chapter), the excessive abundance of content and some technical smears (especially of the Performance mode). But these are minutiae that disappear in the face of the greatness of this work, capable of reminding the whole world that Japan is always ready to amaze and wonder.

Anyone who played the original Final Fantasy 7 must check out this game. Likewise, anyone who enjoyed Remake back in 2020 should continue that story here. Rebirth serves many roles very well. It excels as a JRPG, a sequel, and a modern-generation video game. We may still be early in the year, but this is an instant Game of the Year contender.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a long-lived title, rich in every aspect, but it can be too long-winded and repetitive at times for players who don't have the time to devote to it and are looking for a faster, more dynamic experience, to run through at breakneck speed and finish without a second thought. For those who instead choose to immerse themselves in the adventure of Cloud and his companions, the Square Enix title can easily be defined as ‘the JRPG par excellence’: a mixture of playfulness, breathtaking landscapes, iconic characters, laughter, emotions and freedom that is truly commendable. The Red Queen, the card game, stands out among the mini-games, while the combat system improves and deepens the already excellent mechanics of FF7 Remake. The side assignments are varied and well narrated, while the main storyline manages to give all the party members their fair share, making them more human and less of a character. Despite a few technical flaws and a few short, unsuccessful gameplay sections, our rating could only be fully positive.

Unfathomably, Square did it. 'Rebirth' is the kind of gigantic, expansive Japanese RPG that used to define summer vacations in the 90s, but with all of the modern luxuries of big-budget gaming in 2024. It’s lavishly produced from beginning to end, featuring capital-G Great side activities, a miraculous combat system, and a story that actually sticks the landing.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth serves as a heartfelt tribute to the enduring legacy of one of gaming's most iconic titles. It's a labor of love that pays homage to the original while boldly venturing into new territory. By reimagining the beloved 1997 classic for modern audiences, Rebirth breathes new life into every corner of its meticulously crafted setting, unforgettable characters, and world-class storytelling. Gone are the limitations of 90s technology, replaced by stunning visuals, engaging gameplay mechanics, and a narrative depth that remains to be emotionally resonant at its very core. Yet, amidst the modern advancements, lies a profound respect for the source material—a recognition of the countless hours fans spent in the original, expanding upon it in ways that were once unimaginable. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is truly the best reward one can get for being such an avid fan of the series and is truly a masterpiece of RPG Gaming.
"Final Fantasy VII Rebirth surpasses Final Fantasy VII Remake with its addition of an open world, allowing players to explore Gaia freely and discover plenty along the way. The game features stunning visuals, a fantastic soundtrack, and enriched storytelling with iconic scenes and new twists, offering both nostalgia and surprises for fans. With enjoyable minigames, enhanced combat through Synergy Abilities, and three new characters with unique styles, even newcomers to Final Fantasy will find this JRPG a great time to jump in. Square Enix has truly outdone itself with this release."

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a fantastic next step in the Remake Trilogy. It builds upon what was already established in the first game and has broken down the walls, allowing for a much more open experience that allows for deeper interaction with the game’s world and between the game’s characters.
