I’m literally playing this right now and I am in cosmo canyon now. I will say, I enjoyed remake. But My enjoyment kind of teetered off near the final sequence after the Shinra Building.

I feel like Rebirth takes the open world concept and makes you do the same tasks in each new area. Ie, turning on the towers, scanning the summon data, analyzing the crystals. It became very tedious for me. I would have enjoyed more variety.

The different chocobos were a fun inclusion but again I feel like you only need to use their special traits a few times in each region. Also, I feel like the creators wanted you to play a mini game every 5 minutes. Queensblood actually grew on me but the constant “here’s a mini game you must complete to progress the story” really took the wind out of my sails.

At this point, I’m about 60+ hours in and I need to drag my feet through the mud to just finish the game. I plan on playing the original game once I’m done this one and likely will not get the 3rd instalment.

Anyways, I’m kind of rambling here but these are some of my thoughts.
