You can always count on me to not list most indie games

Today I learned 19 inches of Sephiroth weighs 10.2 lbs

Grand

Estimated deliveryThursday, February 29 by 7:00 P.M.

Fine by me I won't be able to play until Friday morning anyway

my favorite part is that Square-Enix marketing is like THIS IS A STAND ALONE GAME

then the people actually playing it are like YOU NEED TO PLAY REMAKE, YOU NEED TO PLAY INTERGRADE AND YOU NEED TO HAVE READ THE LIGHT NOVEL TRACE OF TWO PATHS

why is there a picture of Slippy next to Cloud

they were matching him up against random video game characters gamefaqs style and determining who was more popular

Cloud Strife not even Top 20

I wanted to play the HD Crisis Core before Rebirth was out. I only played it back on PSP. I liked it for what it was and Zack is the best

but 125 hours of Infinite Wealth was more important to me in the end and I'm doing the NG+ DLC right now instead.

Hell of a game. Not only did they correct the mistakes made in Yakuza 6 and give Kiryu the proper sendoff he deserves, but they did it all in adventure that spans across 3 different cities in 2 different continents and adapting Kiryu's old beat'em up style to a turn based RPG. The combat is even further improved over Like a Dragon 7 by being better balanced and allowing you to move your character around before they take their action on their turn so you can actually line up your skills when you use them. Throw in a full Pokemon game and a full Animal Crossing game on the side and even minigames that evoke Pokemon Snap and Crazy Taxi and this is just one crazy 100+ hour adventure. Even though Ichiban is still the main character here, he kinda takes a back seat to seeing Kiryu's story to the end. He has his own plot on finding his mother, but he doesn't really have the character growth he had in 7. Still that's fine there were plenty of Yakuza games too where Kiryu didn't really change much from the beginning and the end. I'm sure he'll get his turn to shine again if there's ever a Like a Dragon 9. I loved how the final chapter brought out every trope there is not only in Yakuza games, but JRPGs in general.

The Platinum isn't quite 100% completion of everything, but pretty close to it. Beyond just finishing the story you're also maxing out the bonds with all your party members to see all their Drink Links, maxing out Kasuga's Personality traits and viewing 70+ of Kiryu's Remembrances to raise his Soul/Body/Mind. Also completing both optional dungeons, Completing 40 substories, doing the Photo Rally, completing all Sicko Snap courses, completing all Crazy Delivery courses, registering 200+ Sujimon to the Sujidex and defeating the Elite Four equivalent and creating a 5-Star island on Dondoko Island.

There's still 9 more trophies to earn in New Game+ Legend difficulty which features a new optional dungeon. I'll definitely be doing that too, but it's paid DLC we'll see when I find time for it. With FF7 Rebirth right around the corner I got a date with 19 inches of Sephiroth first. Overall though I would say this is my favorite game in the series and maybe even the best game SEGA has ever released. Best RPG it has a bit more competition, but it's up there.

My first time playing a lot of these games as I only played SamSho 2 in the past. Those early games were really tough, but I felt they got easier as the series went on. This collection is the first official release of Samurai Shodown V Perfect which was finished, but unreleased back in the day. It's got a ton of content in its gallery covering not just the games in this collection, but everything any SamSho character has ever appeared in even the Capcom games. Everything from artwork and music to dev notes and interview videos. For something that was somewhat of a blind spot in my video game history it was nice to catch up on a lot of that content.

The platinum isn't anything too difficult just finishing all the games in the collection and beating it was certain characters in each game. Then finishing at least one game on the hardest difficulty although SamSho 5 has some characters that can cheese that pretty easily. Other than that it's finishing off matches with the special finishers they added in 4 and 5 like No Contest, Overkill and Honorable Death

I guess if I want to continue this Samurai Shodown VI is available as a separate purchase as a PS2 Classic, then the 2019 Samurai Shodown after that. We'll see!

Play Cait Sith only this is the way

Tifa's moveset in Remake basically started a movement to get her into Tekken because of how good it was

Hard Mode is basically an entirely different game with how you approach battles

I loved it even more after that

Animal Crossing only made the honorable mentions. It was a fine animal crossing. I had a nice village of only penguins

Hades was on my games of 2020 I never got to list

From the videos it looked more ogre battle than tactics ogre to me

Hopefully that's the case because ogre battle is the best

I'm looking forward to playing a fun video game

Will it be as good as a Infinite Wealth we'll see but Remake was my 2020 GotY

That must be the part of rebirth where they visit the Italian senate

The hotly anticipated sequel to my 2020 GotY is here in a week! I'm ready for 19 inches of Sephiroth to inject itself right through my chest. I'm not going to say anything about the game if you played Remake you know what they're doing with this "Remake" and how it actually plays into the FF7 lore.

We're at a 93% through a whopping 114 reviews. Pretty much everyone has been playing it this month that reviews games.

Siliconera - 10/10
Calling a title the best game of 2024 may come across as rather shortsighted when done so in February. I dont care. Im going to say it. I believe Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the best game we are going to see in 2024, and it also gives me faith in the future of the series.

VGC - 10/10
Final Fantasy 7 is an excellent RPG with some of the best characters in the gaming canon. While some open-world content skirts the edges, and the game's main narrative is left somewhat deflated, the time spent with Aerith, Tifa, and the gang makes this a hugely enjoyable road trip you'll be playing for hundreds of hours.

Noisy Pixel - 10/10
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an exceptional sequel that surpasses expectations in nearly every aspect. It combines compelling storytelling, innovative combat, and a wealth of engaging content to deliver an unforgettable adventure. As a bold continuation of the saga, it sets the stage for the final installment, leaving fans eagerly awaiting what comes next. Square Enix has truly outdone itself, showcasing the depth and potential of the Final Fantasy VII universe.

RPGamer - 10/10
Its been twenty-seven years since Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa first left Midgar. Since then, their world and ours has changed significantly. Its such a wonder, then, to be able to recreate that sublime experience of leaving Midgar for the first time during the opening of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This is the game that delivers on the promise of the Final Fantasy VII remake project. Its a fascinatingly familiar yet unknown journey that is breathtaking and unforgettable.

Easy Allies - 9.5/10
As big of an impact as Remake made upon its release, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth eclipses it in nearly every way. It improves upon just about every facet of its predecessor by introducing incredible new mechanics, an unbelievable world to explore, countless charming mini-games, another out-of-this-world soundtrack, some of the most memorable characters, and a fascinating storyline that will leave you on the edge of your seat. This is truly a must-play game for anyone who loves RPGs.

RPG Fan - 9.3/10
Everything in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth comes together into an extensive package thats earnest both in its desire to be faithful in the ways that matter to the original and in being its own thing. I cant help but love it. Does everything always work? No. But it manages to modernize the way Final Fantasy VII felt all those years ago, and its beautiful. After all, if you told me I got to explore the Gold Saucer in full HD 25 years ago and the minigames are even better than the original? Well, thats all you need to know.

Digintally Downloaded - 9/10
I dont regret the 100 hours (or was it more?) that I spent in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. In fact, I loved so much about the game. I loved the expanded party of characters. Vincent's my boy and he shows up in style, Yuffie's my girl and she brings much-needed energy into the main cast. I also loved visiting iconic locations like Costa del Sol and the Gold Saucer for the first time in their remade form. Most of all, I love and adore the work that Kazushige Nojima has done with the narrative (especially the ending that, once again, challenges everything we assumed about the FFVII plot), and he further entrenches himself as arguably the most innovative and creative writer in JRPGs with Rebirth. I just really wish that Square Enix had resisted putting so much padding and pointless distractions between all that good stuff. Why undermine the things you do best like that?

IGN - 9/10
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth impressively builds off of what Remake set in motion as both a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenge and depth, and as an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long. After 82 hours to finish the main story and complete a decent chunk of sidequests and optional activities, there's still much to be done, making this pivotal section of the original feel absolutely massive. Minigames, sidequests, and other enticing diversions fill the spaces of its vast and sprawling regions, painting a new and more vivid picture of these familiar locations. But more than just being filled with things to do, Rebirth is often a powerful representation of Final Fantasy VII's most memorable qualities. It does fumble the execution of its ending, getting caught up in the mess of its multiple twisting timelines, but new moments and the overarching journey manage to evoke a deeper sense of reflection in spite of that. So, for as flawed as parts of how this classic has been reimagined might be, Rebirth still stands out as something both thrilling and unexpectedly impactful.

Game Informer - 8.5/10
This sequel went wide, and while that comes with benefits, like new ways to explore this beloved world and its various sights, it also comes with drawbacks. They aren't unlike anything fans of the genre have experienced before, and playing as cherished characters certainly eases the pain, but the tedium and bloat of the open-world checklist can sometimes get in the way of where Rebirth truly shines. The best of Remake exists in Rebirth, but the various open-world areas surrounding it the parts that make Rebirth unique from its predecessor sometimes miss the mark.

Gamespot - 8/10
Thankfully, what Final Fantasy Rebirth succeeds at eclipses what it fumbles. It's a superbly designed gameplay experience that instills a sense of freedom while also making exploration rewarding in a meaningful way. Refined gameplay that makes character synergy a focal point breathes new life into the slick and satisfying combat, and all the while it reinforces the underlying themes of the story. As a game that has the unenviable task of living up to one of the strongest legacies in the medium, it is a worthy second chapter. Whether Square Enix can bring it all together in the third and final part will be the subject of much discussion from here on out. Just like at Destiny's Crossroads, an unknown future beckons once again, and anything is still possible.

....I think I need this

what if I buy it on a different console

UshiromiyaEva posted...

I'm much happier with it this way. The story of SMTV was it's biggest weakness other than the performance, and not having to just play that again but with a Persona style insert girl peppered throughout is great news. Getting a whole new route makes it feel like I wasn't just a beta tester who wasted their money.

of course I'll do both routes multiple times for whatever trophies I'll have to get

Minimap rotation is a bad feature and anyone who uses it is a bad person.

that's a lot of routes
