with that mediocre ass ending out of the way, this game was overall an incredibly wonderful and fun experience.
when it comes to faithfully recreating moments in the original, this game does a great job in that regard, barret’s arc in corel prison and cosmo canyon are great examples of well done recreations, not only that, the added moments that weren’t present in the original were also really well done (e.g gongaga and kalm which didn’t have much relevance in the original) this game really solidifies the main cast as one of my favorites in any jrpg. they’ve done almost everyone so much justice. i especially like how yuffie and vincent were implemented considering the fact that rhey were optional in the original game. rebirth has a lot of funny and wholesome moments which i was super happy about.
the open world, a new feature that i was initially worried about was surprisingly really well done. obviously it has its flaws such as the scattered collectables being annoying if youre doing side content and going for the platinum and there being some jank in some areas, in my playthrough i didn’t go all in for the 100% but as i do more exploring in the post game getting this game’s platinum im sure that i’ll enjoy the open world even more.
the combat remains the same and the added features like synergy, the parry materia from remake being the default dodge and new abilities were really well implemented, i was honestly playing the game like i was playing hard mode (in a sense that i was avoiding using items and cure materia) which was funny to me.
