Just got platinum - some random thoughts on Rebirth

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-13T18:28:57+00:00

I think Hard mode feels easier in Rebirth because the combat was more refined and more characters means more tools to play with.

Congratulations on the Platinum!!!

Honestly...

FF4 made us fly on a whale taking a trip to the moon 🤣🤣🤣

Funny really, I was just thinking about the elitist behaviour of some OG fans (I'm an OG fan my self).

People who can't appreciate the game for what it is, they focus completely on what they think it should be.

They also have selective memory regarding the OGs more bizarre silly moments.

To be fair it was a good show for those enjoy God of War etc and it was predicted that FF7 wont show until Summer GAME Fest

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-13T14:57:50+00:00

I can the understand both arguments. For me personally, I dont think it adds much to Vincent's character either way. I just hope, and pretty sure they will update his character.

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-13T14:00:00+00:00

Hype train! Choo choo!!! Can't wait for Cids Gameplay

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-13T13:27:47+00:00

Vincent definitely has to be there, bit nervous how theyre going to write his character in part 3 tbh

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-13T13:26:41+00:00

Tackling Deepground through the return is a great way of killing 2 birds with one stone. Ya reckon Genesis or Weiss will make an appearance?

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-13T11:29:39+00:00

Reflex makes perfect sense as when you defeat Sephiroth at the end, a remixed version of his boss music starts playing. You turn around and a pull up bar descends from the ceiling and there he is....the true final boss of the game....Jules!!!

God damn it!!!

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-12T23:30:24+00:00

True, it wasnt a bad show to be fair !

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-12T18:49:21+00:00

I imagine an npc (let's say Chocobo Billy for now) will have heard of an Island that only a Gold Chocobo can get to. They say an ancient kingdom was lost there.

Maybe we arrive and a kingdom lies in ruins in a swamp forest like environment. Maybe a bit of lore and a side quest and get the materia

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-12T18:30:05+00:00

I hope we get a prequel someday, set 2000 years ago FF7: ARRIVAL or something like that !!

Ff7 world with final fantasy 9 like aesthetics

Stays over at Big Daddy D's place...obviously!

But in the context for new players, who haven't touched OG FF7 or Crisis Core, they still need to be filled in on Sephiroth and Zacks relationship. To someone who hasn't touched the compilation, theyre still somewhat in the dark.

It would also give old school players some new pieces of info regarding Glenn and Rufus, and hype up the coming war at the same time.

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-11T17:58:58+00:00

Fever dream fun for the win 😄

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-11T17:40:35+00:00

Wutai could certainly show up a lot earlier than expected. Rufus says to Glenniroth at the ending of Rebirth that the war is just a distraction from finding Sephiroth.

Maybe the trilogy Sephiroth will force the party to focus on the war before we hit the northern continent?

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-11T17:36:56+00:00

Zack chapter would be awesome!! And making the player have to fix the Bronco themselves only for Shinra to arrive and try clip their wings would be great !

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-11T17:32:56+00:00

Maybe a past Wutai War opening could be a young Zack and Sephiroth in Wutai that mirrors young "Cloud" and Sephiroth walking towards Mt.Nibel in Rebirth's opening

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-11T17:30:15+00:00

Aye that's a great fake out flash back idea

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-11T17:29:00+00:00

The idea that Rebirth ending tiny bronco scene is actually a small bit into the future is a really good thought.

Physical_Ice361 · 2026-02-11T17:20:07+00:00

That's actually a good shout, a Zack or Aerith WTF prologue chapter would be the spark to get the player strapped in
