- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been out for a week now, and Rob has finally emerged from half a month of playing to deliver the verdict: this game is a fan's dream come true. The way it takes the classic material of Final Fantasy 7 and reinvents it for the 4K generation is simple staggering. There are no story spoilers in these impressions, but our shiny Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 4K gameplay does come from the first half of the game.
If you've read any Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth review you'll know how well Square Enix have nailed this update to their classic adventure. Once empty stretches of land become rich open world regions laced with classic enemy encounters, huge story twists and loads of moments to get to know your party better. Cloud, Tifa, Barret and the gang have long been one the greatest RPG parties around, but they are really taken to the next level here.
Have you been playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth? What has surprised or amazed you the most? And most importantly, which piece of music has wormed its way into your head and refuses to leave. Please do keep your comments spoiler-free - Rebirth is a huge game and many people are still playing catch up.

I was blown away by the depth. Not only is all the iconic characters, locations and moments here, they have added more brilliance in-between such as Queen's Blood, Duck Shooter in Costa Del Sol and the Galactic space invaders like shooter at the gold saucer. It's my game of the year by miles, absolutely loving everything about it.
It’s my game of the generation probably. Top 3 fav games all time. I’m not even finished. I’m just at the end of chapter 10 and I have 85 hours in. I’m in awe at everything man
Still trying to get 50k point in the space shooter game at gold saucer. Rage inducing
@@JayBiggs-cd2zg me too, loving it 👍🏻
@@jacksonstubbs2999 I'm not sure how but I did it first time. Just use the barrel rolls and strafe across the screen side to side. Patience and precision and you will be golden 👍🏻
there was a moment on the boat where I thought ok Red XIII isn't in the uniform. I guess they can't put everything in this and then BAM he was in the uniform with flair. I was so excited. Just one of many instances that blew me away.
I did the same thing. "Well, that would just be too silly even for this..... wait... OH MY GOD THEY DID IT"
Despite my first console being an Intellivision, FF7 Remake was my first ever FF game, and I have become entirely absorbed by the sheer LIFE of these games. Starting Rebirth was like returning to some great friends.
Hello!! I have a question... I hope you can answer 👉🏼👈🏼 is it really open world? 🥺
I laughed so hard while on the ship with Red and QB. Probably woke up some neighbours.
That part was gold!
When I got to the Golden Saucer I was giddy with excitement at how amazing it looked.
I couldn't go in for a while because I knew that I was never going to have the experience of seeing it for the first time again 😂
I feel if you have never played the OG, you won't grasp how truly amazing Remake & Rebirth are. Rebirth with its revamped OST and reimagining and expansion on all the areas we knew so well is a thing of beauty.
Not true at all. I’m 30 and never played the original as I was like 3 at the time. Only final fantasies I have played are 14 (mmo) 15, and 16…along with part 1 remake. Rebirth might be my favourite game of all time, at the very least top 3. It’s an absolute masterpiece
@@JayBiggs-cd2zg I think he just meant it's extra special if you have because you would have the anticipation of reliving everything in today's graphics especially if you grew up playing the OG it is truly amazing to have grown up with the OG and waited since 1997 to have this experience
it feels like what I imagined when I played the OG as a kid
Agree with this. Some of the player is complaining about some technical issue on the graphic, but if you played the OG, it is hard to believe that this game is real. During my playthrough since the remake until rebirth, I keep repeating those words. I can't believe this game is real 😂
I just completed it at 2am last night I put 90 hours in and enjoyed every bloody second of it!!
Same here, except I did not enjoy exploring Gongaga. haha I love everything else tho.
Have to agree about Gongaga.
I’ve been blown away by rebirth. Definitely a goty contender
When I'm playing this game, it doesnt feel real. Its unbelievable. Being with this group of characters is such a special experience. I never played remake until a couple weeks ago. I finished it and jumped in this so i could have a seamless experience
One small detail that I'm really feeling since I first heard it yesterday is the theme music for Gongaga with the pipes. It's an absolute vibe.
YES, the gongaga music is so good.
One of the best game soundtracks I've ever heard
It’s one of my favorite new tracks.
Absolutely love Rebirth! I was expecting to be hit with nostalgia for the original, but i wasn't expecting to be getting so much genuine nostalgia for Remake and Intermission already, as well as Crisis Core and the other spinoff titles (and even other FF games, the music for a certain 'Eccentric Swordsman' is one of the best tracks in the game!). They build on basically every entry in the FF7 compilation. The visuals, the music, the combat system, and the depth of the characters all blew me away. Incredible!
Seeing Red XIII riding a chocobo has to be the highlight of the game so for me
It honestly had me in stitches 😂
Yes. And him in the Shinra sec suit.
More needs to be said … Red XIII does
It's so funny lol
Wait till you see him use the grapple hook 😂
about 80 hours in and i am just starting chapter 9 so much to explore in this game.
The Gongaga Region OST really gripped my soul. I'm glad I preordered the 7 disc OST.
It’s so ironic though - I ordered the digital deluxe edition for the OST as well… but the damn PS cant even play the OST disc!
@@mnopinion Damn
@@mnopinionwait fr? That's sad. The PS3 can
About 53 hours in and at Golden Saucer, Caith Sith english voice was suprice what it sounded but in good way.
That's coz he's Scottish;)
@@veganzombie87anthonymerric44 Ok, reminded me a little bit of Scrooge McDuck from old cartoon version.
@@jansufinland3768 haaa yesss 🤣👌
When I reach Gongaga village and the ost hit my memories so hard! That not enough , another red head lady comes out hit harder ! But luckily have yuffie sing a song to balance my emotion 😂
Miraculous Phenomenal Game! Would love to see a SpoilerCast on this when Rob and Rosie have finished (and platinumed) the game!
Game is so good, they really outdid themselves. 1 very meh gameplay section was def too drawn out, but it’s a small blemish on what is a gorgeous world/experience
I really need to thank you both for getting me into the FF series finally. I love FF7 Remake so much that I finally got the plat the day before the release of Rebirth and I have been knees deep into Rebirth since launch. I can't put it down. I hope I can experience everything this game has to offer!
I remember playing FF7 back in 1997 and it changed my life, it taught me the value of great storytelling which affected other aspects of my life and I absolutely fell in love with the characters and I told anyone who would listen "one day they'll remake this" its why i never deterred from PlayStation when Remake released it was everything I ever wanted....Rebirth is more than I could have ever imagined....also am absolutely addicted to Queens Blood now....Square please make this an actual tabletop card game! 😅
This might quite frankly be one of the best games I have ever played.
Just got out the Mythil mines and walk out to that view of Junon. Amazing.
This game has been blowing my mind left and right. I feel like I’m dreaming when I play it.
Can we appreciate the OST being the best thing ever. The boss theme with metal elements is FIRE
Yes. Yes it is. The game is absolutely flipping amazing. God I love Vincent Valentine!!!
Game is really good.
Just hearing the new versions of the bgm brought me to tears. They really put in a lot of heart into re-imagining them. Love it.
I just beat the main story it took me 99 hours I am about to beat it again on hard and finish all the sidequests
Will there be more rebirth videos on the channel? 👀 I'd love to see Rob & Rosie taking on some of those mini games or chocobo races!
In my dream it wasn't so blurry, and the protorelic quests didn't break...locking out content.
There are so many little nods to the OG, but one of the recent ones that sticks in my mind was the dialogue options when Yuffie joins your party. On pure muscle memory I picked all the ones that you have to pick in OG to get her to join and it was wonderfully nostalgic. Then I watched Maxdood play that part and he picked different options and she ran off instead 😆
I'm glad I can safely click any FF7 videos now that I've finished the game
I haven't beaten the game yet... But I love that we can talk this way about a game that was released over 25 years ago.
I love it. The soundtrack is amazing.
I’ve been looking forward to this video.
Did not disappoint. 🎉
Rob is the dude I would love to talk to about this game. Feel the same. Waited so long for this.
i love this game love final fantasy played it since first one and rebirth is awesome
One thing i recommend for immersion is turn off compass or objective markers. Hasnt hampered play at all as you still have a map to refer to
This game is basically gaming porn. It brings me genuine happiness, an excitement to come home from work and play, loving every second, every moment. It is literally everything you could wish for and more. As for favourite moment, can’t say. It is just one big happy moment for me and has reignited a true passion in me.
Just from the demo (starting it proper tonight) the interactions in Tifa's house had my sides splitting from laughing so much
Love the game! Hate the Fort Condor stuff now though...
might have just finished it this morning so good
This is truly a masterpiece of a game.
I'm really blown away by the depth the devs went into to reimagine and expand on the locales, the characters and the lore, along with obscure tidbids and nods to other titles -
the underground battle arena in Corel Prison, ice cream and 'techie' Vincent.
BEST. GAME. EVER. simple as that.
Half way through my second run, it's even better than before, and now I'm back on ff16 to get myself even more excited for that Rising Tide DLC my adrenaline has Limit Broken knowing what's in store, it's so awesome being a FF fan atm, no other game franchise gives me this much immense joy, FF forever 4 Life 🤘👍
I feel so spoiled this year. First persona 3 remake which is another of my favourite games of all time.
And now ff7 the game that introduced me to my favourite franchise. I still remember the magic of playing the original for the first time. And this game somehow manages to recapture that feeling so often.
The game is great but the nostalgia surrounding it if you loved the og just pushes so many buttons. The characters are so good and well witten and endearing that you genuine care for them. The soundtrack is maybe the best i have ever heard in any game. There are also so many real live themes regarding mental issues (mental decline, mental disorder) or dealing with grief and loss.
The Gongaga soundtrack is absolute perfection. From the second it started i just got chills and i haven't been able to stop thinking about it even after beating the game. Definitely one of my favorite game tracks ever
I never thought I would see my all time favorite game blossom into this how grateful I am to be able to play these ❤❤ I’m the happiest gamer alive 72 hours in rebirth enjoying every second Rob our dream came true
I adore this game it is an utter delight.
This game is amazing. Hope it wins GOTY and thank you Square Enix for your hard work 😊
FF7 Rebirth is just pure happiness.
Also, you can open chest on chocobo back. Mind blown. I never knew that, I always jumped off lol.
Yeah this game is everything I wanted and more. Loving it.
The thing that has been the most fleshed out is Tifa. She was just dynamic this time around.
Mr. Dolphin made me incredibly happy!!
I love the changes to the Tiny Bronco, seeing how the plane works as a boat is great.
Having a blast so far, very pleased with it.
It’s an actual masterpiece. Remake and Rebirth have kind of ruined gaming for me because every other game I play just pales in comparison now.
Play BG3 too.
I am playing BG3 right now. Both the games are equally masterpiece.
Kudos to both Larian and Square Enix for delighting gamers in such times of gaming gloom.
Give Infinite Wealth a chance, might be surprised.
Saying this about remake part 1 is, so so funny
Finished Infinite Wealth the day before Rebirth dropped. Clocked in over 100 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. One hell of a game. I would highly recommend it as well.@@leviullrich2338
Also, jenova boss battle theme in the ship is insane!
Truly a game that was made with love and dedication.
A masterpiece in every way.
I did enjoyed and will enjoy this game. Now we wait next part
Rebirth is beyond anyone’s expectations!
If you have the ability to play it and you haven’t yet you owe it to yourself to do so!
I am an emotional wreck because of this game.i have never been so happy and teary-eyed in so many moments in a game in my life!
we all know rob is gonna go bananas with this game..Lol
The game is outstanding, I'm telling this as someone who are playing games for around 25 years. So much details, not a single element is half-baken (even the dozens of mini-games, here they've done even more than Sega in Yakuza series!), the quality in every mechanic is overwhelming. We'd be living in a paradise if all the games was this amazing. The segmented open-world is so cool, the key there is amount of content they giving you at one time. Now this is something I was looking for -- to make a quality stuff in OW instead of quantity.
It's so sad, looking at the small sales in Japan and some other countries. Freaking embarassing that people so eager to buy those every-year cash-grabs instead of this. I myself bought 2 copies (first digital, after - physical deluxe) and proud of it.
Long live Final Fantasy!
I'm already in Chapter 10 and still blown away by this game. Every minute I just can't help but just smile while exploring the world. The first time I stepped on Gold Saucer, my god, almost cried like a kid as that is how I imagined it would look like remade!
My childhood in a bottle ❤
Your playthrough of the original inspired me to go back and actually finish playing remake (I restarted in the end). Never played the original. Excited to move on to this after remake now
And omg the water graphics, top tier tides if you ask me Rob. Thought you were going to pause the segment and gush about the water graphics for a second… lol
I love all the story stuff so far, but I’m getting pretty burnt out with my progress being stopped so consistently to do mandatory mini games 😩
I can't like this video enough! My childhood has been Re...imagined
It's a really wonderful time, I agree with everything what you said. Although I wish that in Gold Saucer we would be able to have all mini games from the game, and some really low res textures (like the ones of the rocks when you are analyzing summons) would be better. 10/10 !
I Love the Game, everybody I know loves it. I see all the positive comments here, yet it seems like the game is not selling that well.
15:27 why aren’t Chocobo jockeys called Chockeys??
Just got to Gongaga region. I have to say, I've enjoyed seeing a couple of Easter eggs for other Square games. Baby Chocobo on Barret's head (FFXIII reference), Elena eating something that suspiciously looks like sea salt ice cream (KH2 reference). There's probably more, but those are the ones that stood out to me.
FF7 is my favorite game of all time. I loved the remake, loved CC, loved advent children...you get the point.
I was really hyped for rebirth. I am over 20h in, in Junon to be precise. And i don't know...i am really having issues with it so far. The open world is amazing, i love the design. But i can't stand those world intel missions. Those scanning minigames with the crystals, the summons, towers like far cry and so on. I loved the dark tune in the remake, it was serious and down to earth. In Rebirth everyone and everything is so cringy and happy. I tell myself all the time "come on, you love FF7! It is going to be great." I just continue and see what happens. Maybe it clicks after a few hours.
I never played the original final fantasy 7 even though I knew of it but I was never a turn based combat guy. Then I picked up The remake I thought it was awesome. Crisis Core reunion was great. But I am absolutely enjoying rebirth more than the rest of them But I am absolutely enjoying rebirth more than them both. I understand why people love the original final fantasy 7.
Re picked up remake at the beginning of Feb. This looks so good can't wait to finish remake so I can pick up rebirth
the game is amazing !!!!!
buy the game !!! it's worth it !!!!
FF7 Rebirth is my game of the year by far. It's amazing.
I am obsessed
I can't wait to play it but i was wondering if there was going to be a rebirth intergrade edition or if that was only because of the PS5 launch happened shortly after the first game? I can't afford new game prices that often and even though i got the remake at release date, I want to get the best edition for my money. Any insight about a second integrade style edition?
Just got to Gold Saucer as well...that part is hilarious. So far the game is great.
u didnt even mention fort condor. man this game is insanity.
Please remake final fantasy 8 too.
Please please please, do a full spoilercast of this game. I'd love to hear all of Rob and Rosie's thoughts about EVERYTHING.
I'm betting some of these mini games will appear in Xmas maze/Xmas challenges this year
The same feeling of going on a massive journey I had when I was 20. Is here now at 46. Incredible game.
This game was so absolutely amazing. That now we need a 6,9 & 10 Remake!
I'm 40Hours in! I just have no words how its surpassed my expectations! Above and beyond! I could not stop smiling upon arriving at The Golden Saucer! Had to pick my jaw up a few times, When i was a wee little boy Playing FF7 on PS1 back in the day, i loved Cait sith and gave him the name " Flumpy " Because well, he looks like a huge flump. Upon seeing him in rebirth, i absolutely lost it. Just wow! I just dont want this journey to ever end! i really dont!!!!
finished the game saturday, took me 113 hrs
I put in 20 hours into the game so far n im only at junon. 😅 how the hell r they gonna top this with part 3???
Airships, playable Vincent and cid, Godzilla monsters and saving the world from annihilation it's gonna be a hell of ride.
Today I learned that you don't need to discount your chocobo to fix the chocobo stops 😅
I'm about 35 hours in and it feels like the game just started. Yet so much has happened. What a game.
It’s awesome 🙌💪😎👍
Straight out of the gate the crying guy you can play queensblood with in had me chuckling 😂
For me seeing the locations i remember so clearly from the ps1 being updated is just amazing.
Like Under Junon when you were there on ps1 it was a fixed camera and you never looked up. Now its a small town in the shadow of a huge canon.
Gold saucer too was just beautiful all over.
It's soooo great but I wish we got a bit more story stuff. I said that in Remake too. Like the side content in Rebirth is incredible but I would prefer more story.
First time in my adult life that I have loved a game this much and that has come close, possibly even better than the original game...I now need to replay the original again and compare lol.
What I will say, is it's amazing how good the combat is and how I never get sick of it.
I wish we had materia loadouts though, hopefully in part 3 but doubt it. I am not sure why they haven't put this QoL feature in yet and if someone comments saying there is and I somehow missed it...I will cry lol
Its good but the fact that I wont plat it cause theres just so many minigames is a bit annoying
This game is just so EXTRA, there's no other way to describe it.
Do you pet every Chocobo chick at the rest stops, or are you a monster?
