How about we stop splitting up everything into money grabbing bits. Looking at you, Hobbit. Three fucking movies out of the shortest (by a significant margin) book.
The first part was pretty short too, even doing most of the side content. A few things were too bullshit for me even and I’m totally deranged enough to get all achievements for multiple editions of the same game.
First part felt like a DLC but was executed well. Rebirth on the other hand feels like a very bad Xenoblade with worse combat and even worse world design.
I disagree with this take.
I thought the world design was a decent balance of open and linear levels. Xenoblade is massive no doubt but often times I’ve found myself wishing it was more…dense I guess? Now I am not a fan of the obvious Ubisoft towers/icons in Rebirth but it is a very lively world where everything feels intentional.
Xenoblade combat is more akin to MMO combat compared to FF7 Rebirth. Rebirth’s combat is surprisingly deep with its ATB/real time combat. Having to juggle three characters simultaneously and set up your stagger/damage phases is really engaging. Xenoblade felt more like a rhythm game until the end stage bosses where positioning and execution suddenly became really important.
I say this as a Xenoblade fan, your comparison is apples to oranges.
Guess I’ll give it some more time then. I will return once I’ve got to play more than my 2.5 hours I‘m in now.
I for one am hyped. Having played the original 7, rebirth to me is seriously crazy good. The sheer amount of content packed into the game is astounding and it’s what I dreamed 7 would be like as a kid.
If anyone’s thinking of grabbing it - don’t let moronic internet comments dissuade you, if you like FF at all this is easily one of the best of all time.
I agree, it’s a really well made game with a lot of soul. And the card game is deceptively fantastic, a modern day triple triad
Insert joke about the fantasy not being so final. Especially when it comes to 7! They are going to milk this cash cow forever it seems.
