What people are saying
A divisive epic praised for story and combat, but criticised for filler and performance.
Many players praise the game's emotional story, character development, and combat system, calling it one of the best games they've ever played. However, a significant number criticise the excessive minigames, poor pacing, and technical issues like stuttering and optimisation problems. [6][8][1][10]
Some players feel the game is padded with filler content that overstays its welcome, while others appreciate the optional nature of side activities. The writing and dialogue also receive mixed reactions, with some finding it weak and unnatural. [7][14][36]

I thoroughly enjoyed playing FFVII Remake a few months ago, and it was fantastic and kept my attention the whole time. I can't say the same about Rebirth. I find it crazy how much filler they cram into this game just to pad out it's play time. The constant use of "minigames" in the main story pisses me off. For example, you're in Costa Del Sol, and you can't simply go to the beach to talk…

neutral · AI labelView post →Really wanted to love this, especially as someone who respects Final Fantasy taking bold risks. I even quite liked Remake, maybe because it didn't overstay. But this is a game where everything expensive to implement has been checked off, whilst falling flat on the fundamentals - writing, rpg progression, atmosphere. On the surface, this looks amazing and is fun. The battle system is actually bold and innovative (but not that different from Remake). Party dialogue and interactions esp at the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There may be a nice 20 hour game hidden somewhere here, it's just buried under 80 hours of repetitive filler content. Boring sidequests, copypasted Ubislop open world activities, constant barrage of badly designed minigames and unnecessary additions/changes to the original game's story. It's certainly a beautiful looking game, but it's as deep as a puddle. This is the Hobbit movie trilogy, video game edition.

unlabelledView post →There’s a masterpiece buried alive in this game, you just have to dig through a mountain of absolute garbage to find it. When the main story actually decides to show up, it’s compelling, fresh, and different enough from the original to keep you hooked. The combat is brilliant: polished, distinct for every character, and genuinely fun. But Square Enix or some executive apparently decided that brilliance wasn’t enough, choosing instead to drown it in mindless, unskippable mini-games with…

unlabelledView post →I've played the original FF7 many times, always loved the story and the feeling of it all even before I understood English. I played through FF7 Remake and enjoyed it greatly, with only a few things that bothered me here and there. But overall it gave me a good feeling. I am sad to say, that FF7: Rebirth is in my opinion, the absolute worst Final Fantasy game I have ever played. In fact, I do not see it as a Final Fantasy 7 anymore. I spent hours, lots of time trying to complete the vast…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to enjoy this game, but unfortunately, I couldn't. As a fan of the original FF7, this installment feels completely different and doesn't capture the spirit of the classic at all. I bought this game as part of a bundle with FF7 Remake. After finishing Remake—which was okay—I eagerly jumped into Rebirth. However, after reaching chapter 8, I found myself putting the controller down, feeling more bored than engaged. The pacing is off, and the side quests are dull and…

unlabelledView post →This game simply does not respect your time. It expands well on FF7 Remake well and the combat aspects are generally great if sometimes include a annoying difficulty spike. The main story quests are largely good. But the endless mini games, the boring side quests, the endless crap dialogue with side characters that didn't need to be present, the painfully slow moving of crates, the slow opening of chests, the slow getting in and out of the monster truck. I want to finish this game but…

unlabelledView post →For me, FF7 Remake was a brilliant update to the series that only had one glaring flaw: instead of discovering and unlocking powerful magic summons through exploration and encounters that felt rooted in the rich lore of the world - you unlock them all by talking to and doing "VR Missions" for a completely new character named Chadley. Not only is he the single most annoying and pointless addition to the game, he also removes all the sense of mystery and wonder from one of the original game (and…

unlabelledView post →Fun game with an awesome and well-fleshed-out story. It was great to learn more about the characters and their backgrounds. The battle system was fantastic. But... What is it with all these mini-games? Everything is a mini-game: summons, box-breaking, the Moogle shop, the card game, the board game, workouts, and so on. So much of the story is locked behind mini-games, like in Chapter 5, Costa del Sol, the parade, and several other sections. I got to a point where I almost gave up on the…

Put about 70 hours into it there and suffered through due to my love for the franchise. - Game runs absolutely atrociously. RTX 5080 7950x3d and the game is a constant stuttering mess. Frametime graph looks like a vital sign monitor. I've tried just about every recommendation to fix performance and none of it works. Disabling ReBAR in my bios (ridiculous solution) did help a bit with stuttering, but that doesn't fix the frame…
