This review contains spoilers

I was SUPER excited for this and the prospect of Clive finally being the complete vessel. I was GIGA excited for the implications this would have had on the final stretch of the story.

They even went ouf ot their way to have Ultima speak to Clive during the DLC and comment on his acquisition of Leviathan.

Then I go and do the last mission again after finishing the DLC and… the game completely ignores the fact that Clive is now a complete vessel.

Eh… Leviathan’s OST is sick tho

The rating is purely for the content of the story, which was decent. But this could have been SO much more.

What a journey. As someone who loved FFVII: Remake and had no prior knowledge of VII besides some general plot points, I was greatly looking forward to the continuation of "The Unknown Journey".

Rebirth, is for all intents and purposes a better game than Remake, in all aspects from the combat, to the side quests, to the exploration, but ultimately suffers from the exact same issues regarding the gameplay pacing.

While I loved what I played, the highs were really high, and the lows were quite low. I personally prefer having some clearer answers regarding story elements, but I understand that being the number 2 in a trilogy can be limiting in that regard.

Ultimately, I'd say Rebirth is a flawed masterpiece, exclusively based on the pacing issues.

Looking forward to Part 3.

Name prediction: Final Fantasy VII: Retribution

It's no wonder people praise this as the pinnacle of the genre. This game was way ahead of its time. (wink wink)
