Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Redefines the Art of Video Game Remakes

The second entry in Square Enix's remake trilogy elevates its source material with bold storytelling, refined combat, and a rich open world.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth expands a 20-30 hour segment of the original game into a sprawling 100-hour epic, filled with detailed environments and deeper character relationships.
Critics praise the game's hybrid combat system, blending turn-based tactics with dynamic action, and its innovative team-up mechanics that emphasize party bonds.
The game reimagines iconic locations and story beats with fresh detail, creating a nostalgic yet cutting-edge experience for both new players and longtime fans.
Rebirth's soundtrack is celebrated for its diversity, featuring genres like rock, pop, and rap, and for crafting unique themes for nearly every battle.
Despite critical acclaim and multiple award nominations, Square Enix has expressed disappointment with sales performance, raising concerns about its impact on the trilogy's final installment.
