Topic | So what's the consensus on FF7 Remake and Rebirth |
Kotetsu534 03/29/24 9:01:19 AM #18: | The metacritic summaries probably represent the consensus as fairly as you're gonna get, but it's worth noting that a decent chunk of the reason Rebirth is higher is because its combat system is substantially fleshed out, it has much bigger (beautiful) environments with a lot of typical "AAA" open world elements, and it's packed full of mini-games. It also has a *lot* more content - it's probably 3x the size of the Remake. If you're really just here for the story and characters (and less so the world/locations), and you don't really value the additions and expansions to the combat system*, then I could see why you might prefer Remake.
For me, Remake is a solid game, and Rebirth is the best game Square has made since the early 00s and the first time since I've felt like they're taking me on a grand adventure like the PSX FFs did. I kept thinking "this is amazing but why wasn't I playing it 15 years ago?" as I played. Both games have insanely good OSTs (two of the best I've ever listened to). *It also generally moves the combat a step towards action and away from slower, positioning based play. Which again is probably a popular move in general but not one I personally liked. Remake had better bosses IMO. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information ... Copied to Clipboard! |
