Final Fantasy VII Rebirth also got a MeriStation review
Thanks to Square Enix, we here at MeriStation also got to play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth ahead of its release. In our review we delved deep into the best parts of the game, but didn’t shy away from calling out some of the biggest issues with the title as well. We stated that “when Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is at its best, it shines brighter than many other titles currently on the market. Its production values are unimaginably high, with fantastic graphics and highly detailed models that beautifully render classic characters in a whole new light. Its combat is absolutely thrilling when it takes place in a well-paced dungeon, and the 4-act format to boss encounters is back to keep you on your toes with some of the most involved fights RPGs have ever had.”
However, its switch to an open-world-like structure hurts the experience by bringing bloat with filler gameplay and repetitive activities, as well as a severe case of content-creep. “In the end, you don’t really need us to tell you whether you’re going to get Final Fantasy VII Rebirth or not. If you’ve been waiting for it all this time, the answer is clear: this is a fantastic experience that continues what Remake started, even if a bit flawed. "
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth releases on February 29, 2024, exclusively for the PlayStation 5.
