We've waited a long time for the newest installment of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Franchise, now we just need to ask ourselves if FF7 Rebirth does the original justice, or if it's just overhyped nonsense.

Even though I'm a fanboy of the original, I honestly wasn't too fond of the "original" Remake, so I was really apprehensive coming into Rebirth. It may have helped finally being away from Midgar, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much more I preferred this version to the Remake.

Even so, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is not without its issues, and the devs constantly hand-holding the players and shoving players into doing near-mandatory sidequests leads to a lot of pacing problems that may turn some people away from the game. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it, and while the devs do make some missteps here and there, the differences have me intrigued and excited for the conclusion to the "Unknown Journey," especially the relationships between Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Zack, and Sephiroth.

Sorry if the color balancing is all over the place in the review; I recently got an HDR monitor and had a really difficult time capturing those colors for an SDR display, so the settings were inconsistent for my footage.
