It’s good to point out that 10/10 stands for masterpiece and not perfect. Do I think this game is perfect? No certainly not. With a game this large, it makes sense that the pacing can feel sluggish at points with certain pieces of side content feeling more like bloat than important facets to the story.
Those complaints aside, I think Final Fantasy Rebirth does a tremendous job of creating an open world that I care to be in and one that didn’t overwhelm me in my 100+ hour first playthrough. The secret sauce for Rebirth were the party members you got to learn more about and grow in relations with. There wasn’t one party member that I ended up rolling my eyes if they were involved in a side quest. It doesn’t hurt when regular traversal, side quests, and main quests are all showcased in conjunction with likely the best soundtrack in all gaming history.
Great magical experience that I will be thinking about for years to come.

This was a great addition to Final Fantasy series. You do not have to play any past games to get into this game. This game has a pretty good recap of the first game. However we both strongly suggest you play the first game, Final Fantasy 7: Remake before playing this. My wife and i enjoyed the story and are looking foreword to the third game of this series. Side content felt a little repetitive but some funny moments. There are tons of mini games that helps make the game feel like your not doing the same thing over and over agin. The piano was the hardest mini game and the best mini game in FF7:Rebirth was Queens Blood. Queens Blood could have been its own game entirely and we loved every second of it. We spent 116 hours on this game and did not feel like we spent that long on this game. If i could have ranked it a 9.5 i would have. What stopped me from ranking this game a 10 because because its not a complete story. While we knew going into Rebirth that the game was the second of a trilogy, the game ends making you feel like there is more to do. So far, this is one of our "Game of the Year" contenders. We highly recommend this game. 9/10
Side note: I do not why it says i reviewed this 6 months ago, i bought this game at launch.

The second chapter of one of the most anticipated remake projects in gaming history certainly does not disappoint. It's clear that Square took this opportunity to maximize character moments and party synergy while managing to extend what was originally maybe 10 hours into a 100+ hour epic and that is nothing short of impressive.
Despite a slew of mediocre minigames and some discombobulated progression beats, FF fans itching for a long and RPG-heavy experience should not be left wanting with Rebirth.
+The character/party interactions are top-notch. You will certainly grow closer to the team just as they grow closer to one another
+Regional exploration will give you plenty to do. In my opinion, this experience in the second half of the game serves as the peak of what this game can do
+As always, the music is stupendous. Hearing classic VII tunes rearranged will instill in you a child-like excitement
+Massive fan of the Synergy mechanic, great way to get party members to feel connected while adding towards to the game's affection mechanic
-Too many mediocre minigames, shout out to Queen's Blood and Chocobo Racing for being the exceptions.
-Sometimes the game suffers with setting a consistent tone in favor of pushing certain story beats. This can hurt storytelling effectiveness and is especially evident towards the ending
-The combat can still agree fairly awkwardly with the action aspects of the game. This is most egregious in some of the combat challenges which can lead to rather irritating experiences

The 2nd installment of FFVII remake triology, in fact, is a different genre from the previous one. From linear action RPG to Semi-openworld road trip action RPG. Main story is main anchor for the story, but sidequest(oddjobs) are also actractive and rewarding. BGM is the masterpiece work from Mr.Nobuo Uematsu
10/10 for FFVII fans
9/10 for JRPG lover

What an absolute RIDE that was! I've spent 120 hours playing through this and I would still need a lot more before the platinum.
This game does such a good job expanding on story beats from the original game with fresh new life. Exploring the different regions brings out the adventurer in you (with a few region exceptions that I did not enjoy navigating.) And, finally, the music grabs all your favorite tracks and makes them even more epic than before!
The last chapter of this game is one of the greatest payoffs in Final Fantasy and I will be thinking about it for you long time! (admittedly, you'd have to have done the full VII ride to fully appreciate what's going on though)
There are some things I wasn't too fond of, however, starting with the Ubisoft-esque busy work in the regions. I know you don't HAVE to do them, but I was aiming for certain trophies that required that I do this and it can be SUCH a slog to find all these dang towers to activate.... To branch off of that, and this is common with other people, some of those minigames are just... not fun at all. I left most of them at the bare minimum completion to get through. My final big gripe is Zach. Without going too spoilery, he's plastered all over the marketing but his actual presence in the game for chapters 2 - 12 are... confusing and arguably downright boring. They could have put it all as a chapter before the final or something. It's just so stretched out for seemingly no reason and it was frustrating.
With all that being said, this game was absolutely worth the price of admission! The references to the original games, nods to other FF titles, and great chemistry between all the characters... Yeah this game was worth the 120 hour time sink!
