This is the megathread for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth release. Any discussion for the game should be in here for the next 4 weeks while we have a post embargo on the game (other games are still ok), after EOD 28th March you will be free to create threads for the game and this one will be unpinned.

Spoilers are permitted in this megathread, so if you do not wish to be caught out by them, I recommend not reading any further.

As always, please be respectful of others.

    I took a peak over at the other sites megathread… I think I got through the first 10 posts and had to leave. If we left it up to them, this game is apparently the worst thing to ever come out. I get some criticism, but it was beyond bad.

    I’ll be honest, it’s hard for me to find time to play a game, sadly. I took off Friday and even got some time today to play, and it was jaw-dropping. I am about 20 hours in and only completed the first zone or region. I honestly don’t care if the world stuff is mostly simple tasks and some challenging fights, I have waited like 20 years to see this world look like this. To just be able to explore the world in all its glory put a huge smile on my face and the first time stepping out into it I had a tear in my eye. The story is also fine so far, and at least up until now, it follows the main parts of the original well. I just can’t get over just how good it looks and how butter smooth it plays. If you really were a fan of the original, there is really not much here to complain about, nitpicking sure, but it’s crazy that this game could be awful to some.
