Rebirth lacks the excellent pacing of Remake, with it's focus on repetitive mini-games and open map exploration.

However, Rebirth more than makes up for that in every other aspect. It really is a treat to see character's I loved 20 years ago be given so much more story and personality. I wish the combat for FF games would be more turn based again, but this is still a drastically better combat system compared to the button-mashing of FF16.
