This has been a dream game of mine for so long and while it doesn't follow the story as accurately as I wanted it to, it's still really good on it's own and actually made the story more interesting and compelling not knowing if they will or won't when it comes to certain plot points. It's really cool seeing a lot of locations from the original game here and fleshed out. The amount of work and detail put into every tiny little corner of this world is astounding and never found myself getting bored even during the side quests. Lots of funny mandatory mini-games all throughout as well and more competently playable this time. This is definitely my game of the year, I still prefer the original FF7 but Rebirth is no doubt a huge step up from Remake in every conceivable way.

(I'm rating this entirely on the Yuffie DLC)

FF7 remake is fun cuz you get to be Cloud with a big sword and its satisfying to fight with big sword. The Yuffie dlc is way less fun since you can only play as Yuffie and she has much more unconventional combat mostly more ranged and support. You get a non-playable partner who is a bigger damage dealer so it does create a slightly more interesting and different game by being a support character instead. Storywise it doesn't do a whole lot overall and it didn't really need to, neat to see some throwbacks to Dirge of Cerberus and I loved seeing more Scarlet.

Love this game aesthetic, the level designs, theming and music are all fun and have good sega saturn era vibes. I hate how this game controls at times though. Figuring them out does make it satisfying to pull off but basic recovery is almost impossible. There are some parts that are a bit glitchy like the Taboo fight where I kept re-spawning over a pit or the Judge boss fight where I would still fall off the edge even though the gameplay stopped for a brief cut scene. It's a meaty game and was worth the money, I can still see myself replaying it especially if they patch it.

Really good collection and has rollback for every game but sadly it's a ghost town. Only real problem I have with the collection is that Cyberbots doesn't have all the characters from the console version. Red Earth being on here is super cool though since it's never released on console, that game kicks ass and is a really interesting idea for a fighting game rpg hybrid. I suck at Puzzle fighter but Gem Fighter is my favorite game on the entire collection. Love all the cute moves and references all the characters do. Easily one of the best collections Capcom put out in recent years.
