This is my personal perfect game. My love for FF7 and its remake games are unmatched and this game was one of my most precious experiences ever. It would be hard to just put my thoughts into words.

The world is gorgeous and feels alive with beautiful and cozy towns such as Kalm and feels lived in with the remnants of the republic sprinkled throughout. The atmosphere of this world is phenomenal.

Everything character has my heart and their relationships with each other are fully fleshed out and feel real. The new additions to the story are great too, especially Elena who im a big fan of :>

The story had me hooked all the way through and anytime i wasnt playing i was thinking about it. Perhaps my personal bias towards Aerith definitely added to the story as well but every character has their time and fits perfectly. The new parts of the story, while confusing at the moment, are super cool and really add even more to the already perfect story from the original. Finally seeing more of Zack throughout the game was fucking awesome too.

The combat, just like remake, is still outstanding and every fight is enjoyable, with some tough fights inside too. There is never a boring moment throughout the story segments and it kept me engaged throughout the entire experience. The abundance of minigames are all uniquely fun and add to that special fun vibe that ff7 has super well.

The ost is easily one of my favourites ever. Every song blends so perfectly into the atmosphere and really helps to immerse you in the world around you. Obviously expected out of a FF game though.......

However i do think that rebirth suffers from having too much content at times. Spread throughout the world are ubisoft checklist like objectives (except theyre actually in a good game) that i personally found a little overwhelming at times, leaving me to pause for a bit to take a break. Eventually i stopped doing the more basic tasks and did the side missions and protorelic missions instead, which i found kept me more engaged. Even with these issues though i still think they dont take away from the overall perfection of this game and couldnt recommend it more

Easiest 10/10 i could ever give a game and i dont think ill ever forget about it, or stop talking about it for that matter.
