I'm on Chapter 4 and I'm starting to dig it more. I want more interactions with the characters. The side piece narrative was killing it for me and I was getting nervous that some of the magic was gone.

I really enjoy FF7remake/intergrade so my hopes have been really high. Just finished those two games too so I'm coming into rebirth hot.

Edit - anyone else save scumming for the mass effect style options? I don't have it in me to let any of my teammates down 😭

Finally started today and it's pretty surreal seeing all these memorable places this gorgeous.

Coming off playing Elden Ring I do dread playing another 100+ hour game though. Especially since it seems like to get a lot of the extras, you need to do a run on hard. And I'm assuming you don't get the option to be placed at specific points within said chapters, you gotta do the whole chapters all over again?
 
I am playing on an LED TV instead of an OLED and it's as smooth as butter in 30fps. Unless the 60fps is fixed which I doubt as it will still be nerfed due to the massive scale, LED TV is the way to go.
 
I just finished up the Grasslands. I dig the combat and I generally think the writing and dialogue is good, but the open world feels pretty bad. Of my 10 hours in the game so far, maybe 3 of those have felt like playing FF, and the rest felt like playing any average Ubisoft open world game, where you spend all your time following markers in the UI and completing checklists of mundane tasks. Like the first VII Remake, I have a feeling this is going to be a game with some major highlights but also a ton of unnecessary bloat.

Get gets better don't worry.

The Junon area is spectacular, I just reached the upper level and I can't believe what my eyes are seeing

Spawncast tonight were pretty down on the graphics mode. Textures (at times) aside, the game looks/runs fantastic on an OLED. 30fps does not bother me at all in this game.
 
25 hours down, just made it to Costa Del Sol! Boy this game is something special.

Every time Cloud talks to Tifa or Aerith. I miss Jessie though 🥲

When the two girls are together they tease Cloud so much, it's so so funny.

The more I play the more I fall in love with the game and its characters. It could not have been better.

I was hesitant at first but yeah, this is a massive step up in comparison with the first
 
Aaah ... Steam version can't come fast enough. Good news is that PC version will immediately have the modding community make changes to lighting with either ENB or other filters. Hopefully the Steam Version won't have texture issues as well.

The character interaction, banter and all of that is amazing. They've carried on the character development very well from Remake.

It's impressive as pulling it off with so many characters present at once in each scene (with only more to come) must have taken a shit ton of time to develop. Especially when the cutscene direction is this good.

Are there a lot of scenes with characters other than Cloud interacting with each other without Cloud being included in the talk / scene?

I really want the game to give me the impression all those characters learned and interacted with each other, not just with Cloud. Like, scenes/dialogue with Cait Sith and Red XIII only, or Barrett with Aerith.

Do we have any ideas about first sales number ?

I really want it to do well, in order for Part 3 to be spectacular
Click to expand...

Probably by the end of March about 3-4mil sold. Also I wouldn't worry on that front. They've now assured the Remake project is a success.

Part 1 the game is now at about 8mil sold. Not factoring in all the revenues from merchandise and the sales boost it's given the OG and other FF7 games. Also they would have made a ton from exclusivity deals with Sony and Epic and Japanese games cost less to develop.

Rebirth the reception is excellent so will sell well. Even if after 4 years the sales were like 6-8mil it would be very profitable.

Part 3 I would think it should cost less to develop than Rebirth but has an even more refined and streamlined development and so it will be impressive.

I know a few people who are seeing the reception for Rebirth who are now just starting Remake. When part 3 releases there will be people jumping in and buying the full trilogy. So the sales strategy will be long term. In a nutshell no need to worry about part 3 not being spectacular lol.

So this game truly is something special. I didn't doubt if like it as much as I did. I'm just glad it's not a disappointment like FF16 was.
 
The lighting might be the only complaint I have about the game. I get that bad textures can happen, so I won't knock that every surface isn't jaw dropping. But I'm not sure what the excuse is for the terrible lighting.
 
Well I will say, at least this game is finally making people realise that Clouds love interest is Tifa and not Aerith like people have claimed since 1998
 
One last comment for the night. Only 3 games have had me creating screenshots regularly.

Demon's Souls, Starfield and FF7 Rebirth.

Use offensive Synergy skills (Block + face button) to build teammates ATB barss if you are rarely switching char.

Use abilities to gain synergy charge (5 block below atb bar). Some abilities didn't give you charge, read the tooltips

Use synergy abilities when you have enough synergy charge (0 atb bar cost) Both party members must have adequate charge

I think they really messed up by locking extra ATB gauge and lvl 2 limit breaks behind synergy abilities.

I'm only at Chapter 4 with maybe 15 hours and yea I can see myself sinking a lot of time into this, I am considering replaying the first game again on hard after this
 
Anyone know how to use the hourglass synergy abilities? Like Relentless Rush

The tooltops says increase stagger potency and extend stagger time

Tried three times to a staggered enemy, but I see no percentage/potency increase and I can't feel the longer time too
 
I turned of Camera slope angle and screen shake in camera settings. Traversal seems smoother without camera adjusting on every little rock.

Loving the game, can't stop playing I'm doing everything on the map ☺️
 
I'm just going to keep saying it, the game is fucking incredible. Entire Junon chapter was spectacular top to bottom, sequences that were once simple elevated to the grandiose, environments absolutely jaw-dropping and then you've got all the new stuff on top of it all. One thing I'm enjoying most is the banter of the characters and different relationship dynamics, Tifa and Aerith in particular are fantastic and I have had numerous laugh out loud moments throughout, recent Red cutscene, I can't get over it lol.

Just reached Costa Del Sol and Rebirth continues to surprise and delight, I was particularly pleased with what preceded my arrival here, the competition never stood a chance... Onward and upward, Alexander summon just became available, was always one of my faves, curious to see how it's depicted here.

The first had a bit of padding at times but the characters and overall pacing was near flawless for me. The mine area/grasslands really had me worried with Rebirth but once Ch4 got going, I started feeling the magic return and I'm fully on board now.

Still have no intention of doing any of the side quest stuff though. Maybe on NG+.
