Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Reviews
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth does an excellent job at reworking the universe of one of the biggest classics in the genre. There are certain elements that deserved more polish, especially on the game's technical side, but the end result is a fantastic experience and once again a reference within its genre.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a dense game. Dense in content, in stories, in mechanics, and in emotions. A game that exceeds all expectations for this second part of the Remake project and still promises us that the best may be yet to come.

Overall, this a deep and wonderful game packed full of exploration, juicy combat and a strong story - if you can follow all the lore it pumps out.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth isn't just the early front runner for Game of the Year. It's one of the best games ever made.
Square Enix gave us the ultimate role-playing game and the best Final Fantasy ever with its flawless combat, charming cast, and fascinating tale. If you enjoy role-playing games or Final Fantasy, you will simply love Rebirth. Immersed in its 14 chapters, you'll relive moments from past events that you now understand more clearly. However, I still suggest playing Final Fantasy VII Remake before Final Fantasy VII Rebirth if you can.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is an adventure that will appeal to everyone, everyone and anyone who loves RPGs in general. Throughout its 14 chapters we will experience situations that will make us remember what we experienced back in the day and that we now enjoy with a better explained experience. A continuation that improves Remake in many aspects, not only because of its wide world but also because of the number of activities that we can do, a fact that means that completing it completely can cost you more than 100 hours, 50 hours if you only go to the main story , but it is certainly something that I do not recommend given the rich world that is Gaia.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth extends the experience of the original in many ways for the good but fails with that on the world itself and its side activities through odd design decisions. Besides that, the gameplay improved immensly over Remake and the sheer amount of main missions and nice surprises for fans, makes it very easy to look past its shortcomings.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is a huge improvement over FFVII Remake because it doesn’t need to stretch the 3-hour closed portion of its source material to the point of insane padding. Unfortunately, the last quarter of the game’s plot is really not doing it for me and falls flat, thus derailing the entire narrative that opens up more questions and answers. Regardless, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an ambitious and well-made take on a huge chunk of a 1997 JRPG wonderchild and does justify the purchase of the PlayStation 5 for what it offers. Final Fantasy VII fans from back than and the remake will find a lot to love and cherish here. Just make sure you’ve done your homework before jumping in.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sets a new standard for JRPGs, and it's one of the best entries in the franchise yet. It's a sequel that tackles a classic with respect, and reverence to retain what made it special but delves deep into its characters, and the world to satisfy fans of the original, and the remake alike. The combat is a highlight and meaningfully iterates on the 2020 entry and the jaw-dropping presentation invites you to explore every inch of its diverse world. Some technical issues aside, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an incredible game that's worth spending close to a hundred hours in.
With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Square Enix presents a richer venture in every way, offering players the freedom they enjoyed in the original game.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is the definitive way to experience this story.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth delivers an extraordinary story expanding on the plot in ways that fans could never have imagined with a massive open world and character building they will adore.
FF7 Rebirth is bigger in scope, providing a solid narrative and riveting gameplay that makes you fall in love again with the Unknown Journey.
I’ve absolutely loved playing through Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and I’m happy to say that Square Enix once again delivered with this release. It’s a fantastic follow-up to Remake that expands the world of Final Fantasy VII even more, and it’s a sequel that shouldn’t be missed. Whether you’re a hardcore Final Fantasy VII fan, or someone that came on board via the Remake, you won’t be disappointed.
Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is superior to Remake in every way, with a story that gripped my heart and a perfectly reworked version of a world that has filled my imagination since I was a kid. Square Enix succeeded in a feat that is very hard to achieve with a remake – it felt as if I was playing the story for the first time. While there are some technical elements that were frustrating from a gameplay perspective, I found myself hungry to get at the controller every day after work, and was delighted by every secret and new mechanic I uncovered. It was a joy-ride of a game, even when boss battles were beating me into the ground. I can’t wait for the world to get ahold of this title, as Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is sure to impact fans in the same devastating, amazing, emotionally debilitating way the original game did so many decades ago. It’s a thrill ride, a treat, and a gameplay experience I won’t ever forget.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is pure magic in the form of interactive art. I found myself thinking about how majestic the original on which it is based is and how ambitious it was for the time. We can only describe as phenomenal what Squaresoft has managed to do with the limitations of height. Playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth makes you feel like you're playing a game from that era, with an emotional campaign full of impactful moments, supported by a huge world to explore. It's easy to lose track of the hours exploring these various places for secrets, always looking for easter eggs and curiosities that greatly reinforce the sense of discovery and wonder. The original is my favorite game of all time and Rebirth deserves to be featured alongside it.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth improves on nearly every aspect of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, pushing the PlayStation 5 to the limit and creating a jaw-dropping experience in the process. Improving on both the Remake and the original version of the game seemed like a nigh impossible task, but somehow, Square Enix was able to do just that.
Sometimes, fate is like a sandstorm that changes directions. You may change your direction to avoid it, but it will follow you. You will change your direction again, but it will adapt. This is FF7 Rebirth. If the original version talked about accepting death and fate, FF7 Rebirth takes you on a desperate journey in order to try to change fate, regardless of the consequences.

While Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is definitely the middle-chapter of a trilogy, and thus doesn't quite standalone as well as the last game, there's no denying it rules. A multitude of small tweaks and gameplay changes add up to an impressive experience that feels like a giant leap forward, while continuing a great story with characters that find new ways to hook you.
A while ago I wrote that this was one of my most difficult reviews. That's because Rebirth does everything it can to make it as difficult as possible to love this game. Despite the adjustments, the main story is still fantastic, the soundtrack is great and so are the graphics during cutscenes. The open zones are not necessarily bad, but they are overcrowded with meaningless content that only functions as filler and not enough combat. When Rebirth opens everything up and you can dive into the combat or the story, then you can enjoy it. It's a shame that the game does everything it can to pull you out of there and saddle you with boring meaningless padding. Rebirth is at times brilliant, fantastic, beautiful and leaves you as an emotional wreck. It's just that it's interrupted so often that the entire outcome leans more toward "okay" and not what it could have been.
