Pleased to report that I *love* Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a game so good that after 45 hours I'm still not close to done because I'm compulsively doing every side activity. The acting, the writing, the MUSIC — this game nails everything it sets out to do www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet... - ThreadSky

Well thank you for your recommandation, I still have Octopath Traveller 2 waiting for me in its package to be done. :) maybe in 2027 ?

justinofclark.bsky.social•375 days ago

fwiw, there's still sidequests I need to go back and finish (post-Skywheel date, I just rushed into Chapter 13), but I took my damn time and still, I rolled credits at 87 hours. This thing is a BEAST if you let it be.

So looking forward to the special edition disc in my mailbox!

jmgreene28.bsky.social•375 days ago

might finally haveta get a PS5

dattil.io•375 days ago

I should get a PS...6? What are we on now?

...can I just do this on PC?

matte-gender.bsky.social•375 days ago

timed exclusive. iirc square says a port should be done within a year

dreamcastaway.bsky.social•375 days ago

Excited to dive in soon.

bigwetfart.bsky.social•375 days ago

If someone has never played a ff game somehow, but has a bit of fomo about the series as an experience, would this be the one to try?

anssikerttula.bsky.social•364 days ago

So you don't think video games are too long anymore?

neomeruru.bsky.social•375 days ago

This is the best news.

mattheww1991.bsky.social•375 days ago

Very excited to hear this, I can't wait to play.

pyrholidon.bsky.social•375 days ago

Annoyed that it's still PS5 exclusive.

designbyadrian.bsky.social•375 days ago

It’s not. Remake is available on PC. This episode will be as well.

pyrholidon.bsky.social•375 days ago

Eventually, at some point, maybe. They never released the Integrade DLC for PC.

mynameiscj.bsky.social•375 days ago

looking forward to reading your review! so does “compulsively doing every side activity” mean that the side quests are majorly improved compared to Remake? that’s my big potential holdup for Rebirth

jasonschreier.bsky.social•375 days ago

yes!

jasonschreier.bsky.social•375 days ago

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has more minigames than any game I've ever played. The card game, Queen's Blood, is as good as Triple Triad if not better. If you played Final Fantasy XVI last year and found yourself wondering where all the charm and humor went... well, it's here

princeofpersia5.bsky.social•372 days ago

Does it have the filler problem of Remake? Reviews make it sound like that improved.

stephsinalco.bsky.social•375 days ago

More than a Yakuza game ? Those ones are *packed* with mini-games.

omlt.bsky.social•375 days ago

Yeah, the amount of games within Infinite Wealth...

It's not even "mini" games at this point 😂

stephsinalco.bsky.social•375 days ago

- So here's a 60h JRPG.
- Nice!
- And the typical karaoke,
- classic.
- darts, fishing,
- Ah ah, cool.
- biking, shogi, mahjong,
- Err...
- dating sim, virtua fighter,
- ok, stop it...
- Pokémon game,
- Stop it!

ANIMAL FUCKING CROSSING

bponto.bsky.social•375 days ago

We all know videogames truly peaked with FF7 Rebirth because we can play piano to soothe cats, the only minigame that matters

bayouboi.bsky.social•375 days ago

Was about to say “more than Yakuza?” But it looks like someone already beat me to it.

marinkarinkid.bsky.social•375 days ago

As well there should be. Seen some light dings on Rebirth having Too Much to do but this portion of FFVII is the one and only time it feels like the party is traveling together and seeing sights. After The Spoiler, it’s a race to the end pacing-wise

andrewdk.bsky.social•375 days ago

You had me at

“As good as Triple Triad”
