After escaping Midgar in Integrade,Rebirth's open world is split into six regions, offering ridiculous visuals and engaging side quests that reinforce the game's themes of environmental preservation and personal struggle. However, Rebirth's ambition sometimes leads to convoluted storytelling, particularly towards the game's conclusion, which can detract from the overall experience.

Despite some narrative missteps, the game's large-scale environments, character development, and intricate combat systems make it a memorable journey. With over 80 hours of gameplay, including the main story and side content, Rebirth is a significant and impactful addition to the Final Fantasy VII saga. The game successfully merges nostalgia with modern gameplay, providing a compelling experience for longtime fans and new players.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is an impressive action RPG that builds on its predecessor and the original Final Fantasy VII with engaging combat, expansive environments, and deeper character stories. Despite some narrative complexities, we gave it an impressive score of 4/5 in our review.
