I’m Consistently Blown Away By This Game

Im only in Junon so I can’t make a comment about the story yet, but I have to give this game a 10/10 for music, combat, characters, and adapting elements of the OG. I’m often completely delighted by how they’ve chosen to do things such as the Fort Condor battles. And the visuals frequently leave my jaw on the floor. The level of detail is astounding. Junon is something to behold. Remake, for me personally, was a huge disappointment that felt really disconnected from the OG and I just felt like it didn’t really bring me back into FF7. There were some standout parts but overall it just felt unnecessary. I didn’t have much hope for Rebirth, but not only am I surprised, I have to say that I haven’t had so much fun playing a FF game in many years. I really believe that they left nothing on the table and really hope they can pull this off again for the last part. My hat is off to the team. Idk what happened between Remake and Rebirth, but I feel like they personally took every critique that I had and addressed it many times over. So if you were like me and disliked Remake, I do suggest at least giving Rebirth a try. For some reason it brings me back to the joy of playing the OG that Remake just did not. And tbh I know they change the story at this point and I’m accepting that more and not letting it ruin the game.
