Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Review

  • Developer: Square Enix
  • Publisher: Square Enix
  • Reviewed On: PlayStation 5
  • Available On: PlayStation 5

Going into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, I was equal parts excited and nervous. Its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII Remake, set a high bar after it managed to blow me away and become one of my favorite entries in the franchise. After spending just shy of 80 hours with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, I feel confident in saying that once again my expectations have been surpassed in ways I never would’ve imagined. There are some bumps along the way, but they don’t keep Rebirth from being one of the best Final Fantasy games I’ve played.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is The Blueprint For A Final Fantasy X Remake

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an amazing game that I can’t get enough of, but one thing that I couldn’t help but think about the whole time I played it was how much it makes me want a Final Fantasy X remake of the same scale. I’ve talked about a potential remake of one of the series’ best games before, and now after playing Rebirth, I believe that its open world, its combat, and the amount of depth it gives its characters should serve as the blueprint for what I would love to see from a remake of Final Fantasy X.

Final Fantasy XVI Review

  • Developer: Square Enix
  • Publisher: Square Enix
  • Available On: PS5
  • Reviewed On: PS5

Ever since Final Fantasy XVI was announced I’ve been eager to experience a new story in the iconic franchise and see how it continues to evolve. With a more “mature” story, a much stronger focus on real-time action, the promise of over-the-top setpieces, and an acclaimed development team behind it, I had pretty high expectations. And while Final Fantasy XVI managed to meet and even exceed some of those expectations, eventually the luster wore off and one truth revealed itself: that Final Fantasy XVI is simultaneously a fun and boring game to play.

I’m Up For A Final Fantasy X Remake

Summer Game Fest gave us our first good look at next year’s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and rumors of a remake for Final Fantasy IX have persisted ever since it first popped up in the infamous Nvidia leak, but if new rumors are to be believed, Final Fantasy X will soon be joining the Final Fantasy remake club. According to a user on ResetEra, Square Enix seemingly has plans to release a remake of Final Fantasy X in 2026 to coincide with the game’s 25th anniversary, and I’m absolutely here for it.

Looking forward to Final Fantasy XV? If the latest rumor about the game is true, you won’t have to wait too much longer. According to a rumor from Gematsu, Square Enix will be releasing the much anticipated JRPG worldwide on Friday, September 30. Later this month on March 30, Square Enix will be holding an event titled “Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV” where they will be officially announcing the game’s release date, so we’ll see then if this rumor is true. I certainly hope it is, because I’m dying to get my hands on the full game.

Five Of My Favorite Video Game Endings

By: Tyler Miller

When it comes to the end of a game, it’s very easy to decide if its ending is great or if it’s simply okay. But what is it that causes us to decide what it is that makes the end of a game great? For me at least, there are a couple of aspects that come into play when deciding if the end of a game is great: the music, emotion, and the finality of it all.
