Game news Does Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have the potential to be one of the best games in the saga? I spent 80 hours there and here is my video review!
In less than a week, on February 29, Cloud and the rest of the group return to tracking down the evil Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Unlike the Remake episode, the team leaves the dark megalopolis of Midgar here to experience a real journey across the planet Gaia. For our part, we also had the feeling of participating in an odyssey like no other, and we tell you more about it in our video test which you can watch above . Gameplay, affinity system, story dimension, semi-open world… We come back to almost all the important points of this sequel, explaining to you whether, yes or not, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth lives up to its expectations!
Initially, one might have thought that it would have been difficult for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to follow the episode Remakeand yet this perilous exercise was successfully completed. One of his strongest feats, as we explain to you in our video test, it is to have managed to review its formula, a bit too interventionist in the previous opus. Here, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth establishes a certain balance by allowing us to explore large areas in order to carry out a whole bunch of secondary activities and additional tasks. We had some fears about this beforehand, but our complete testmade on over 75 hours of gameplayfully convinced us of this judicious mix.

The biggest, richest and most moving Final Fantasy adventure of the modern era
On the basis of this revised and saving formula, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offers us one of the richest adventures there is in terms of emotion. It’s quite simple, the whole story took us through every possible and imaginable state, reviving in us a certain nostalgia while freeing ourselves from it thanks to the staging of certain previously unpublished passages. And like a cherry on the cake, the masterful soundtrack of this second part accentuates all of this: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is not just played, it can be listened to and sometimes even makes us put down the controller.
In addition to a very great work on the gameplay, here in-depth and enriched with new discoveries which make sense with the development of the plot and the links between the members of the team, what was the most astonishing was to notice the quality with which the developers brought back to life a world map of minimalism imposed by the means of the time. Here, everything is more alive and rich, so much so that you completely rediscover the universe and want to get lost in it for hours. This is also where Final Fantasy VII Rebirth shows himself to be clever in his approach because he manages to extricate us from his scenario, once again striking and perhaps even divisive, by directing us towards the exploration of these open areas which bring variation in the rhythm of the plot, between homage and new additions.
At any rate, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is full of good ideas that will allow it to be considered one of the best episodes of the saga Final Fantasy and perhaps even the ultimate opus of the modern era. Obviously, this second part of the remake trilogy is not without faults but the overall adventure easily allows us to erase the small black spots which are the outdated structure of the portions in the semi-open world, the recurring problems in the management of the rhythm – even if there is better! – and the few misses which alter the immersion. In short, to better understand how blown away we were by Final Fantasy VII Rebirthwe can only advise you to watch our test video, available at the top of the article.
