r/FF7Rebirth

I did not need to be kicked in the balls this hard. Being forced to play through that as child aerith is just fucking heartbreaking and I am in tears right now.

Is the Rufus Golden Saucer fight supposed to be fun? This isn't hard and isn't fun. Its just tedious... Just wondering what the consensus is here.

I have to give this game the appreciation it deserves.

I pushed myself through FF7 Remake, and while I enjoyed the story and visuals, the combat just never fully impressed me. It started to feel repetitive, and I honestly questioned whether I’d even enjoy Rebirth.
I’m so glad I was wrong.

The moment I started Rebirth, it felt like a completely different experience. The combat is faster, flashier, and way more expressive. The Synergy Abilities are one of the coolest mechanics I’ve seen in an RPG, and they make every fight feel like an anime scene come to life.

What really blew me away, though, was how sick Cloud’s attacks look. The colors, the glowing aura around his sword, and the way every swing feels like it has this explosive energy behind it are incredible. His aerial attacks and over the top finishers are exactly what I was hoping for. Every battle feels stylish, vibrant, and way more exciting than anything I expected.

And then there is the opening section where you get to fight alongside Sephiroth. Absolute peak. Using Cloud and Sephiroth to tear through enemies together had me grinning the whole time. It immediately sold me on the combat.

Honestly, I kind of wish I had started with Rebirth because this is the experience I wanted from the beginning. At the same time, I’m glad I finished Remake first because now I don’t have that lingering “what if?” feeling. I experienced the whole journey, and now I get to appreciate just how much Rebirth improves on it.

I’m only partway through, but this has already become one of the most fun JRPGs I’ve played in a long time. If anyone else was on the fence because Remake didn’t completely click for them, give Rebirth a chance. It exceeded every expectation I had.

I thought it was only the character model mods that don’t work anymore but it seems to be all mods have stopped working in general?

There's a song that briefly plays in Chapter 2 after you wrangle the first chocobo in the grasslands. It continues playing until you follow Piko back to the ranch. The song is electronic, features a theremin (I think?), and includes chocobo squawks and cries. Does anyone know what it's called? I feel like it might not be included in the OST.

The retcon of the GI tribe being unable to be absorbed into the lifestream because they are aliens and creating the black materia to die IN RELATION TO Jenova being an alien that would be in the same boat, technically immortal, and would want to stop them from using the black materia for self-preservation.

On my replay of Rebirth and soon to tackle hard mode for the first time. Just wondering if Queen’s Blood progress is/can be reset and if I’m able to keep all my cards when I do so.

I did everything in this game at launch except for the Rulers of the Outer Worlds challenge and hard mode.

Finally booted up my old save to return to this and realizing I forgot everything about this game.

I went to Chadley and started the combat simulator. I don't see any of the brutal challenges even on the list in the combat simulator. Why would that be? Do I need to go to a specific location or chapter to do them?
