Really excited for Rebirth to come to PC. I'm really interested to see where the story is going because it seems to deviate from the original timeline quite a bit.
Edit: Could’ve also done without the moral ambiguity. My heart couldn’t take the turmoil, just let me believe I’m doing the right thing please. Also I wanted to talk more about the writing. It feels like the characters have a closer bond and cloud is likeable earlier.

My interest is just kinda lost on this one. The pace is painfully slow and the game provides very little challenge. There so much that you can do, but there's really no reason to dive into mechanics. Its like 90% walk and talk. Maybe I will come back to it someday. Though I think this is unlikely.

I don't go checking a whole lot of other gaming sites, but if scanning through the Grouvee reviews are indicative of the larger gaming population, I'm not the only one who doesn't like it. I'm playing on the Steam Deck a few minutes at a time before bed, so it's probably not an ideal way to do it. I didn't like it when I played on the PS4/PS5 either. Anyone have tips on how to get better at it?

I bounced very hard off this game when it first came out. However after watching a good chunk of a let's play, and attending a Final Fantasy orchestra concert, I was jazzed to give it another go.
I am really loving it now. The combat has clicked in a way that it wasn't before.

I do think the pacing is still a bit clunky, with some stretches of the game going much too long; however, I am enjoying this SO much more then I did before.
Waiting to beat the game for a full review, but Im really happy I finally get why my friends were hyping this game so much.

Read moreChapters 10 and 11 is this game at its worst. We just got super grim news that our heroes have to act on at the end of the last chapter, but let's make the player sit through a long ass field trip through the sewers while we wait for the urgency to actually sink in, and then after that we can go through an extended ghost story side quest while the fate of all your best friends hangs in the balance elsewhere. There's a reason these sections were only 15 mins of gameplay tops in the original game.

Just finished the Wall Market sequence. They really did that section of the game justice in Remake. Despite its pacing issues, the saving grace of this title is that it mostly nails the adaptation of those important iconic moments from the original game. At this point I’m pretty certain that I’ll be playing Rebirth when it comes out.

I finished it tonight! What an amazing experience. I always love finishing a game it feels so nice.
The ending was a little confusing to me. I might have to read up on everything. I am not completely sure what happened with the whispers and Sephiroth made no sense to me. Might just be my comprehension skills...
Regardless I …

Made it too Chapter 15. Oh boy what a story. Seeing that gorgeous sunset over Midgar as we made it to the Sector 7 Plate... Stunning. I'm glad all the side quests are in my rear view mirror now. Onward to kick some Shinra butt, save the planet, and get Aerith back!

Unsure if I want to pick up Final Fantasy VII Rebirth next month, so I'm giving this game another try. Immediately I'm reminded of why I have mixed feelings for this. This concept of zooming in to the story of the original game and adding smaller details and interactions between the characters works very well sometimes. I love how Jessie is expanded on so thoroughly early on. But then it doesn't work so well when you're given boring sidequests to kill X number of rats. Or when the dialogue comes off as inane rather than deepening some of the characters.
The pace is totally off. This feels like one of those anime adaptations where a bunch of filler episodes were added to wait for the manga to catch up. Except they had the completed source material on hand from the start.

Got to Chapter 13. Seeing the destruction of Sector 7 and Seventh Heaven was heartbreaking. It reminds me of the earthquakes in Japan. Will hopefully get through the rest of Chapter 13 and most of 14 next play session!
