Final Fantasy VII REBIRTH (Remake Part 2)
- Thread starter .Lethal
- Start date
Prologue / start of game spoiler.
the materia keeper boss fight was ******* awesome! Bit weird he was in the flashback though. He’s exactly how my 11 year old brain imagined him, playing this for the first time, back in 97/98. Incredible monster design

Lost a good few hours tonight, shaping up very nicely. Definitely helped doing the tutorials in the VR arena thingy to refresh my memory

Find it very strange they've changed some systems compared to remake part 1 (Like the equipment skill stuff)
And some of the graphics looks pretty weird, don't really understand why this couldn't have also come out on PS4 standard

Also, it's incredibly jarring to have to start with the buster sword again :s

Some of the textures are dire in my very short time playing
They had the same issue with remake part 1, so I'm not exactly shocked.

I had one for part 1 but it never got used so I sold it after finishing it. I'm now borrowing a friend's ps5 as they hardly play it either. Also have a 9 month old daughter so it's more going to be a once play through than try do absolutely everything, although I'm happy just being able to play it.
I don’t think this is a spoiler but I’ll tag it anyway… (still very much at the start of the game)
the card game is super addictive and I think there are even FF8 monsters in the starter deck too?? I think a Flan is ff8? Or was it in every entry..

Wouldn't make sense when the Intergrade DLC was an PS5 exclusive.

Don't think that should have been an exclusive either lol.
Would have to be as Intergrade and Rebirth use an customize Unreal 4 Engine.
When Remake came out one of the biggest complaints was that the textures looked "Muddy". Thats an PS4 limitation with Unreal Engine.
That wasn't a problem when Intergrade came out. Definitely isnt a problem with Rebirth.

Still waiting for my Amazon copy to arrive. Doesn't really matter that much since I am not going to be able to play it much over the weekend anyway
I hate this. It just feels like changing things for the sake of change. They've been really annoying and changed things just enough where you're mostly familiar with that mechanic, but buried it in some new menu and/or even renamed it.
Like the equivalent of the weapon upgrades from Remake, it's tucked away in the equipment/materia menu (I think?) under a new button press and dumbed down massively, like an afterthought now. And the node-based upgrades that used to be there are now part of that Synergies system? Which you'd think you could find in the Party menu, but then it's not, so you then look at Combat, and then it's not there either, then you remember it's only avaialble at book shops and those purple machines at some save points.
The menu UI in general is a bit of a mess. Random graphics everywhere with character portraits or character models in different locations on different pages, button press prompts in random places to access this sub-section here and this other function in another menu. There's little cohesion.
The urge to buy a PS5 just for these games is hard to resist at the mo. I played the remake demo on the PS4 when it released and I loved it.
Had some major flash backs to grinding and trying to understand the materia as a child.
Oh and trying to beat that damn Demon Gate for the first time
Now just reading about Rebirth and seeing the screenshots is some major nostalgia.
Might wait for part 3 and then have one massive blow out.
