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
