FF7 remake was a masterpiece and polished with obvious test play. Then like everything else the demand drives devs to rush through sequels which leads to broken mechanics, unreal playability and overly repetitive filler quests. Remake made you feel easy mode was easy, normal was normal and hard was hard. REBIRTH HOWEVER MAY AS WELL CALL HARD MODE IMPOSSIBLE. Countless broken battle after battle. Red dragon was a raging joke, sub bosses like the moss grown adamantois, demon gate, etc. have zero structure to follow in the sense that you can do everything right and yet still get punished for it via unavoidable damage. I cannot stand these purchased fake reviews or reviews from people who haven’t even completed the damn game because they lead others to believe this is truly perfection when it is far from it. I’ll give my respects to Remake but not this one. A patch needs to come out soon and correct difficulty, the stupid glitch at gold saucer and not being able to complete the party animal quest. Remake made you want to push through the grind because hope of completing it on hard was always within reach and simply tweaking strategies and adapting to move sets got you progression. Rebirth is just a complete turn off once you get to the hard mode difficulty in hopes of getting all trophies. Gongaga was not an enjoyable experience to traverse around and it feels like the game goes downhill right after that area. The mini games are excessive and have no replay value. Some of which aren’t even reasonable with the scores needed to attain the reward (final pirate ships shooter level, or sit up challenge). I hope the devs notice this review and stop rushing through everything or at the very least address the issues and patch the game already. If you’re playing for the sake of the story continuation and absolutely nothing else then you’ll get a decent experience hence the 3 stars NOT looking forward to the third release at this point.
