FF7 has always had a special place for me despite the original not being in my top 5 games of all time, but it has been a game that even with the original i tried my absolute best to try and play the game no matter what. With the original, I had struggled to find a device that could play it in a stable state and ended up playing the scuffed mobile port as for the remake I tried playing it with the pc port only for it giving up halfway through the game which ultimately ended up in me finally being able to buy a ps5 for rebirth and i could not be any more happier
This game feels like a surreal dream come true as when i thought about a dream remake for this game this is what i imagined it would be like. The graphics and cutscenes are as amazing as ever as the game feels more open to the player to explore every region in the game and even a main side quest to discover a superboss with a fun storyline. The characters both the current and new ones are amazing and improved on the already memorable characters of ff7. The iconic locations of the game are filled with so much personality as the side quests and new characters introduced to rebirth (and remake) give them so much life. This game is filled with the brim with minigame some really fun and some not so fun with one of them being triple triads competitor, Queens Blood, which actually has its own side quest storyline which I thought was fun to go through. If you played the original game, this game does its most memorable scenes and moments in the game so well and the voice actors do so well to capture that emotion that could not be captured the same as in text boxes as it feels even more real. The story is amazing as I expected from beginning to end with its presentation as it captures these memorable moments in the game. One thing that surprised me a lot is that this game does not shy away from its lighthearted moments as there were moments where I genuinely at how they decided to do its quirks from the original. The combat is as great as ever from remake with synergy making the already fun combat even better. the new playable characters are very fun and have their own unique playstyle to go with. It's very hard to explain in words how I felt with this game but to sum it all up my expectations for this game surpassed all my dream expectations and Although the journey is not over yet, I am so glad I was able to finally play it after all these years and I will wait patiently for its incredible finale when its ready.
