I realise there's a FF7R Intergrade thread, but this is still a different game in the form of a sequel so I thought I'd open a new one.

I've got this downloading now, 144.3GB with an installation size of 155GB so quite chunky just to forewarn.

While I'm not a fan of PC Gamer, there aren't many performance reviews out there as of yet, but the port while a little barebones seems promising and in a much better state than the first game was on launch:

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC performance analysis: Runs well and looks good, but the tight system requirements and dearth of PC-centric options spoil the show

Limited graphics options, capped frame rates, and a mediocre upscaling system. Gee, thanks Square Enix.

I'm looking forward to getting to enjoy the game properly this time around, as much as I loved it on the PS5 the console simply lacked the grunt to do justice to it.

For anyone wanting the FF7R bonuses for uploading your save file, be it due to not having the game on PC or owning it on Epic while having Rebirth on Steam:

  1. start FF7 Rebirth
  2. go to Folder %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE\
  3. rename EOS to Steam
  4. go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam
  5. Copy the long folder name (this is the hash of your Steam Profile ID) <-- copy the name, not the folder - via right click - rename
  6. go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE\Steam
  7. Change foldername here to the copied folder name (hash of Steam Profile ID)

Good to know, should be easy enough to get 120@4K with DLSS then with a 4080S
Click to expand...

I'm playing through the intro/flashback part now.

5800X3D
32gb RAM
4070

Everything high with DLSS @ 4K, dynamic scaling max 100%, min 66%, solid 60FPS so far so I imagine you'll be absolutely fine tbh.

Nothing special technically, but then I didn't expect a console port like this to be. The point is it's playable and I'm only noticing a few minor things like some pop in and annoying vignetting.
Click to expand...

Same here, the pop in is the most noticeable for me but it's not game destroying and I'm sure patches will improve things further.

Damn sight better than it was on the PS5 that's for sure.

Japanese developer and patching? Did I enter the twilight zone?

Funnily enough they did release a few for FF16 which did improve things for many, shocker I know!

Rebirth already runs a good deal better than 16, although they use different engines in fairness.

Steam Deck verdict?
Click to expand...

Not looking good, a lot of complaints about performance on there despite it being Deck Verified.

I'd hang fire and see if things are improved with updates.

Mind you, it could be random Steam plebs trying to run the game at high settings for all I know.

I decided to play remake because I just saw on PC there's a boost option so I can pretty much just play through the game for the story (again). Also never played Intergarde.

There's a story mode for Rebirth but I'm not sure what it does exactly, if you cba with the combat etc.

Been waiting a long time for this one, Rebirth is a special game for me, so much that i'm taking a week off work, have rest of this week and next week to play it, otherwise i would never finish it :cry:.

Reached the open field area after about five hours of playing, so far the only thing i'm disappointed about is some of the flashback story scenes, they didn't play out the way i imagined they would, otherwise it has been amazing, can't wait to kill it tomorrow!

The biggest tip I can offer is to not burn yourself out by doing everything in every zone, I never intended to at first but got drawn in and it caused burn out by the time I got to around the Gold Saucer area. You can eventually backtrack very easily, so pacing yourself absolutely helps a lot, I found mixing main story progression against side content really helped. The world is absolutely huge, and impressive in that it's essentially seamless without loading between zones shy of fast travel or events. It's amazing to explore and see but it's easy to get lost in things that can unnecessarily cause FOMO if you're that way inclined.

Timeline that might help:

Final Fantasy 7 (original was 1997)
FF7 Crisis Core (PSP exclusive prequel, plays like a mobile game of the time, only bother if you're a hardcore fan, there was a 2022 remaster)
FF7 Dirge of Cerberus (PS2 spin off game, a bit like DMC, easily skipped)
FF7 Remake (Intergrade is just the same but with the Yuffie DLC, came out in 2020)
FF7 Rebirth (Part two of the Remake trilogy, one more to go, came out last year)

If you wanted to check in, there's a double pack of FF7R Intergrade + Rebirth, you'd start with the prior and then play the newer Rebirth title.

Getting 70-80fps maxed out with DLSS enabled. Feels silky smooth on my PS5 controller :D

Performance is impressive tbh, especially given how it looks and the scope of some of the areas.

It's not mind blowing Crysis type stuff, but it's impressive and sure as hell runs far better than the aforementioned.

Forgot to mention I am on 4K by the way. So yeah, seems well optimised to me.

I'm shocked at how well it's going tbh, I've been oggling MSI OSD just to get things running smoothly, it's sometimes a touch borderline but I've yet to see it exceed 11GB so far.

What GPU do you have?
Click to expand...

4070 standard.

I was hoping for some uplift with the 5070tiS but given the leaks I'm going to need to be seriously impressed to make the jump at this point, the only thing tempting me is that I'm gaming at 4K from time to time for RPG's on the TV.

I seriously sometimes wish I didn't go 4K, yeah its impressive on the 32" monitor and DLSS looks great on it but man do you need a beefy GPU, I sometimes think about getting a 27" 1440p see if I could go back lol
Click to expand...

It's the biggest factor for me right now in buying a new gen card, but Rebirth is running so well thus far I'm not sure I'm going to bother. It's only the odd adventure/souls like game and RPG's that I play on the TV as I prefer the mouse and keyboard for everything else.

Most of the RPG's I care to play on the couch are a good deal easier to run.

To be fair yeah theres only couple games I can think off right now where I can't get the performance I like without turning down settings (or in case of CP2077 running DLSS Performance) and the 5080 will bring me back closer to my old 4090 performance level but still I sometimes wonder if its really worth the cost ha
Click to expand...

I run a dual monitor setup currently, and it really makes things easier in that respect.

34" Ultrawide at 3440x1440
65" 4K TV

I realise that's not possible for most, but it's such an ideal setup for my use-case. I couch game with the TV for RPG's/Adventure stuff like God of War or DMC etc, I use the ultrawide for almost everything else and it requires a lot less grunt.

Ah thanks, was just about to search this myself actually. So at Kalm i didn't fully explore the area, i only beat two of the Queens Blood players, found a third but skipped them because i just wanted to get on with the story progression. Then when i left, i realised i couldn't return, was about to load my previous save back up and complete the area fully, but nice to now know i won't have much trouble returning. I love mixing story and side content but only start the side stuff when i've completed a good amount of story first.

So there isn't anything i can complete miss permanently right? does the game warn me like it did in Remake, that i should complete everything in the area before moving on, or is that not present here?

Also is the Kupo Charm & Survival Set worth it?, it's a Twitch steam drop, but seems like a lot of hassle to get, and i want to avoid spoilers.

I don't remember on the kupo and charm set bud, but you should be able to ship back over and run around doing whatever around the Costa Del Sol or Gold Saucer point, par the regions you've yet to unlock.
