    It’s hard not to bring nostalgia into it. I can ignore those quibbles I have because of the countless times this game made me feel something, whether that be anger, joy, sadness, or empathy. As I rolled the credits I realised this was exactly the game I’ve wanted to play since I was 17 years old. It’s playing one of my favourite games all over again, experiencing everything fresh - and loving it just as much as I did over two decades ago.

    It will be nearly impossible to evaluate Final Fantasy VII Rebirth outside of the trilogy as a whole in the years to come. But right now nothing is stopping us from doing so. To put it succinctly, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is one of the finest games in Square Enix's entire history.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth expands upon the 2020 Remake by offering a more captivating story, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and a more expansive world. However, some players might find themselves slightly impeded by pacing issues and Square Enix's overly ambitious endeavors.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions as it retells its unforgettable story in brand-new ways.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and honours one of the greatest RPGs of all time with another fantastic reimagination. The story is still as enticing and entertaining as it was before, but the unknown variables that this version adds to that, turn Rebirth into an entirely new adventure, even for fans of the original. There’s lots of stuff to do (fun minigames and side quests) and you won’t be bored, despite some areas being a bit too ‘empty’ from time to time and some blurry visuals. These are minor issues though, because Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a must-play in the genre.

    Square Enix has built a world that really is beautiful, filled with pleasurable diversions. But the contrast between the pleasure of playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the dourness of its plot often ends up confusing things. It’s less apocalypse now than apocalypse later.
