That statement certainly isn't indicative of my own experience. With the inclusion of the side content (which as you probably saw from my prior post, was the primary source of my troubles with regards to the pacing) I spent half of my time jollydudgering around in Rebirth - at least until I dropped the side content. Meanwhile, what I really wanted to do was engage with the combat, particularly as a result of the other pacing issue I brought up in my first impressions post on the 10th March about the combat mechanics.

I'm sorry that is the case for you since you're in the minority on that one. Rebirth has fared way better with the usually very bitchy FF fanbase in Meta user scores than FF16 or Remake and the fact that it's at 9.0 right now is almost a miracle.

Remake and 16 were almost even with 15 in that regard, even, and both were considered worse than the Royal Edition. (I suspect though Rebirth will drop closer to the RE once more people get to the ending, depending on how many bother to change their reviews/review after beating it).

On top of that while I see a lot of people praising the arial combat in this game I honestly think it's hot garbage. Adding in so many flying enemies hurt my experience with it. Now in the end I just added Barrett to my group and used him and it was fine so not a huge issue since I do enjoy using Barret.

Having the character tutorials be Chadley sims was a strange choice. I was in the middle of the game before I realized Cloud has normal aerials, though by some merciful chance I found out Yuffie's from the get-a-go.

Are you talking about when cloud dodges and then can jump up towards the enemy? If so that wasn't bad but not good enough. Same with Tifa's boost from other people. It was all ok but in the end not sufficient enough for me. Now if you're talking about something else I would like to know. I skipped all the chadley sim stuff. I couldn't even beat the first summon after weakening him all the way. Pretty embarrassing how bad I am at this game. I also did the first summon much later in the game so I wasn't to low level.
