The general sentiment around Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is that while it is visually stunning and boosts improved combat mechanics, it is also plagued by performance issues and is seen as overly bloated with filler content and mini-games. The game's story is widely praised, although some may find the complexity of new plot elements challenging. Overall, it seems to be a must-play for dedicated fans despite its more frustrating aspects.

Positive Points

  • The story is considered one of the best aspects of the game, with rich character development and emotional depth.
  • Combat mechanics have been improved from the previous installment, offering fluid and strategic gameplay.
  • The graphics are stunning, especially in cutscenes, and benefit from the advancements made from the previous game.
  • The music is highly praised, fitting perfectly with the game’s atmosphere and enhancing emotional and action-packed moments.
  • The game offers a massive amount of content, including side quests and mini-games, which many players find engaging.

    • Negative Points

  • The game has significant performance issues on PC, including stuttering and poor optimization, which detracts from the overall experience.
  • There is a consensus that the game is overstuffed with mini-games and filler content, which can disrupt the story's pacing and become tedious.
  • Some players find the open world unengaging, with activities resembling typical 'Ubisoft-style' checklist gameplay.
  • The complexity of added story elements, like the multiverse concept, confuses players and sometimes detracts from the main narrative.

    • Mixed Points

  • While the open world and exploration are praised for their detail, some players feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content and repeated tasks.
  • Mini-games are enjoyed by some for their variety, but others find them frustrating and excessive, particularly when critical progression elements are locked behind them.
  • Voice acting and character interactions receive mixed feedback, with some players enjoying the character development while others dislike the dialogue tone.

    • Common Themes

  • Comparison to the original FF7 is frequent, with emphasis on how this remake adds depth but also diverges significantly from the source material.
