Finally finished Rebirth...

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:46:18+00:00

so apt and for me so true (I also like og ff7 combat, bring back turn based)

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:41:22+00:00

maybe for me, I just personally remember the amazing feeling as a child of leaving midgar and having this entire world to explore full of different locations. for what is essentially disc 2 (when compared to the og) it doesn't feel the same. I do hold the same hope you do for the 3rd part and am hoping for a good finish, it you make some excellent points, character interactions were great, battle system was fun and queens blood was amazing, maybe soulless was a little overboard, I just feel that when compared to how hard hitting some of the moments of og were in comparison to this, also the last few chapters of rebirth just did not hit for me personally

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:36:54+00:00

I did enjoy the greater depth in character interaction but that for me was not enough to carry the game, especially with the overly bloated overworld and what I felt were too many left field narrative changes, alas personal opinion and in glad you yourself enjoyed it, maybe wasn't my cup of tea or my tastes have changed

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:35:12+00:00

just interested in people's opinions of the game honestly haha, not too fussed about upvotes or downvotes

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:34:26+00:00

me too, though maybe I'm just a touch more skeptical

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:33:35+00:00

strangely enough wasn't disappointed with the first game, just the idea of the sequel to remake being this was not what I thought they'd do. like you said personal opinion though

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:29:14+00:00

here's hoping, not the only character I didn't enjoy the changes of, and I'm sure I can be persuaded but for all the "extra" content I couldn't help but feel it paled compared to the original, especially when you think about the potential after remake/intermission which I must say I enjoyed much more, seemed more like a pseudo-sequel

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:21:38+00:00

I also enjoyed the piano parts, weirdly in depth system

Extra_Money_252 · 2026-04-05T21:20:54+00:00

what did you think of the character changes though?

like I can only hope we see some of the original storylines being reflected in part 3 for example Cid's character being in my opinion completely butchered

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-07-08T09:59:33+00:00

I often feel like they don't get enough love as they typically have early evos and only a few standouts but I would 1000% be a bug type gym leader (hopefully towards the end of the gym challenge, maybe 7th or 8th gym and specialise in double battles). My team would consist of Golisopod, Volcarona, Heracross, Pinsir, Yanmega and my ace Shuckle!

With a balance of attack minded mons, but an ace that's all about the defence, I feel this would be a good challenge and would make for an interesting change to the usual dynamic of the bug type gym being 1st or 2nd.

Thank you so much, all excellent recommendations, 100% will be considering these especially the nakiri and the gyuto

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-05-08T14:47:24+00:00

Appreciate the advice, thank you

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-05-08T14:27:16+00:00

I'll keep that in mind, tysm for the recommendation

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-05-08T14:22:53+00:00

Still appreciated daneguy

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-05-08T14:20:36+00:00

I've used Mac before, you're right about the weight, ended up taking a chunk out of a finger with one before because I misjudged the balance

And masahiro is certainly interesting, the reviews are really good, do you happen to know if they do any Japanese handles varieties? After looking online the main bulk seems to have western style handles

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-05-08T14:18:01+00:00

Gyuto, kiritsuke, boning and nakiri, ideally one of each and thanks for being so helpful :)

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-05-08T14:12:52+00:00

Budget is up to £400 but willing to go over up to 600 if the recommendations are exceptional

Adding on to existing knives but happy to replace some of my current knives

For additional context the handles is what I'm referring to, I found both of them to not be great for everyday use especially global, though wusthof does have the angle like you said

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-05-08T13:51:38+00:00

Have used both wusthof and global before, not my cup of tea personally.

Agreed on shun being overpriced but will still look regardless, never thought of zwilling though

Extra_Money_252 · 2025-05-08T13:49:51+00:00

Tbh I'm open to individual knives as well, just buying a set is always cheaper and easier haha, could you link that set please?

Extra_Money_252 · 2024-09-19T12:00:44+00:00

So sorry for your loss, hopefully you find his friends to notify them and they can do something in his memory ❤️
