Sorry if already asked but do i have to play the first FF Remake to enjoy this one?

It will help probably, but (at least in the demo for Rebirth) there was a recap option on the main menu that brings you nicely up to date to where Rebirth starts.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

FF7 Rebirth amongst the highest rated FF's ever.

FF7 Rebirth is amongst the highest rated FF's ever, 9, 10 and 12.

The score may come down a bit once more reviews are in, but what's impressive is how given the large number of reviews compared to 9, 10 and 12, it's the highest rated sp FF in about 20 years since 12 and amongst what are considered the best in the series long history. FFVII Rebirth - 114...

Damned shame Sony has no good bangers this year™

First half of this year is fucking brutal... Having to make some tough choices based on what I want to play first.

 

[Krathoon]

I cringe every time I see that. Even the mighty Fromsoft does it.

Oh. Yeah. It pisses me off every time I see it.

There are two genders. Don't make it weird.

 

[rickybooby87]

Lord, these guys SUCK.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Lord, these guys SUCK.

They're a parody site at this point, like jokes and memes a la Hard Drive, etc.

 

[Certinty]

Well well well... I thought the first game was good but nothing more.

Had zero interest in this one but damn, I can't say I expected these reviews at all.

 

[Humdinger]

Excellent scores. I'll have to play this one.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Lord, these guys SUCK.

Go back to watching your short TikTok vids, retards.

 

[Dazraell]

 

[jshackles]

Damn

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Lord, these guys SUCK.

I feel like these guys don't even like videogames anymore

 

[Astral Dog]

Those are some damn solid scores

 

[DeepEnigma]

what?

Maybe it's referencing the two in that pic.

 

[sendit]

From the demo impression thread, I could have swore this game was going to get less than 80.

What’s our next game to target?

 

[SakkanartSilentJealousy]

OMG 93? Never expecting this so high. IGN give it 9 though.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I feel like these guys don't even like videogames anymore

Yeah, they've been absurd for at least a decade at this point IMO. It's just a bunch of attention craving headlines.

It's great to see Rebirth reviewing so wonderfully. I loved the FF VIIR on PS5, but I still haven't checked out Intergrade. So I'm thinking about just waiting until Rebirth hits PC, and just playing Intergrade + Rebirth there.

 

[German Hops]

[kittoo]

Hot damn! Another banger incoming.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I cringe every time I see that. Even the mighty Fromsoft does it.

Tifa has such a bangin type B body

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I still need to finish remake, I'm on chapter 14, is there much more to go?

 

[rofif]

Maybe it's referencing the two in that pic.

Even better.
And I hope We can have SEX with Berret

I WILL NOW BUY YOUR GAME...

Kotaku: Sephiroth is gay rights icon.

You know what's hilarious. Back when Kotaku was invite only in the mid-2000's. I somehow won a comments contest for the most voted comment (I did not know was going on) and it was a pic of Japanese male designs, and my comment was very similar to the one you quoted. It was along the lines of,

"Yes, Japan is very good at drawing effeminate men." or to that effect. I get an email from Bashcraft saying I won the contest and they sent me a free Xbox 360 controller, a game (forgot which one, might have been The Last Remnant which is still sealed) and I think Xbox Live sub card.

Crazy how polar opposite the globalist brainworms have made all our institutions and entertainment now, and in short order.

 

[nikos]

Great scores, as expected.

No doubt the game is probably a 9 or 10, but the demo's performance on PS5 was a 4 so I'm still going to hold out for PC.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Never in doubt, time to play FFVIIR over the next 7 days.

Thats hilarious. I think 2000s era gaming era websites were still being run by the Gen X generation. after that, it was mostly millenials and now gen z who just dont know how to have fun online, and turn everything into a preachy lecture.

 

[DemWalls]

This game is going straight into my ass

Better that than eating a cartridge, I would say.

 

[mckmas8808]

My thoughts too. If the Demo (which I liked) was anything to go by, Rebirth will share some of the issues people had with Remake, and it’ll hurt its overall score. If history has taught us anything, Square are absolutely terrible when it comes to side quests. I think people who are waiting for a single player FF game to break the curse and finally hit 90 or above, will need to keep waiting.

86 - 89 is my prediction.

So glad you were wrong. Life is Good!

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Noisy Pixel gave it a 10 out of 10!

Theorizing he says..

 

[Heisenberg007]

Confirmed GOTY nominee!

 

[Heisenberg007]

We are still winning

 

[DragoonKain]

I can't wait, I just hope they don't undo some of the most memorable moments.

This is going to have huge implications when the PC modding community gets a hold of this.

 

[sendit]

Don't you mean Body Type A, Body Type B?

Why does the body type with the less structural integrity go last? That's not very inclusive if you ask me.

 

[Madflavor]

Life is indeed good.

b…b…b….but the graphics!

once again all that whining about graphics amount to nothing…just like Elden Ring and RE4Remake.

The graphics whores must be in crisis. Games are getting excellent scores without AAAA visuals where every pebble has to be immaculate and every puddle ray traced.

has Jizz Corden made a tweet about it?

Unless there’s more Cloud dancing and cross dressing I highly doubt any of that.

Another one for the books. Graphics Whores really need to start accepting that unless they want to wait 10 years for a game to come out, they better get used to visual and performance imperfections. Human beings can't work miracles and get modern day games this big, with little to no graphical flaws, out at a reasonable time. Even a company as large, experienced and talented as Rockstar has needed at least a decade so far to develop GTA VI.

Great graphics are great for a little while, but great gameplay, music and story are great forever.

Gaf about to have a stroke

I already had one in 2017, does that mean I get a free pass to lambast articles about games that have the word "queer," in every paragraph three times?

Spoiler

I'm going to, either way.

Yup, elements like the soundtrack is much more important to me than the visuals

 

[Elios83]

I expected the critical success.
It's the first real uncompromised AAA modern era single player Final Fantasy.
No more super linear maps, HD towns are hard bullshit, side contents that are just fetch quests while delivering on story and gameplay.

Hopefully Square Enix understands that this is the template and kind of effort to go on with for the future.
Can't wait until next week, I'm planning to platinum this.

That’s funny. When I’m finished, I leave large white circles on the furniture too. I just tell my wife they’re from the cups.

[Luigi Mario]

Scored a little higher than what I expected, though some reviewers criticizing the ending and pacing isn't too surprising.
Save for FFXIV expansions it should end up as the highest scoring Final Fantasy since FFXII and with so many reviews already out it seems unlikely that the Metacritic score will drop any further.
