Just beat FF7 Rebirth, and it blew me away. I can't remember the last time a game impacted me this much. I was more impressed at this than I was with either Elden Ring or BotW (both of which are phenomenal games). The last time a game impressed me this much may actually have been the OG FF7 back in 1997. I just beat the game 2 days ago though, so I need some time to see how it settles with me long term.
Without going into details I will say that this game had multiple moments where I got a stronger emotional reaction than any other video game has given me before. The ending wasn't one of them, but I can overlook that. They also just had countless moments where I was just plain impressed and having a ton of fun. I put 150 hours in so far, and I still have some post game content I can explore.
I highly recommend FF7 Rebirth to anyone who likes open world games as well as fans of the original game. I was kind of disappointed with FF7 Remake, but they really outdid themselves with Rebirth. I can't wait for Revelation to release next year.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
