The general sentiment towards Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is complicated. Many players praise the improved combat, rich storytelling, and stunning graphics. However, others find the game overly bloated with repetitious filler and tedious minigames, which detract from the core experience. Critics also point to performance issues on PC, questioning the level of polish on this platform. The changes to the original storyline, including the introduction of a multiverse plotline, are contentious among fans. Despite these points, the title is generally seen as a visual and narrative spectacle, with strong potential for even greater impact in the concluding chapter of the trilogy.
