The wait is almost over (sort of)! Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - the second instalment in Square Enix’s three-part Final Fantasy 7 remake - will be coming to PlayStation 5 on 29th February next year.
We’ve had a couple of glimpses of Rebirth since its announcement back in June 2022, and we know it’ll unsurprisingly be picking up the story from 2020’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake and later InterMISSION DLC - although “preparations” are being made to help you catch up if you can’t be bothered to play through either of those beforehand.
Real time combat just doesn’t make sense! You’re controlling a party of characters. You can’t possibly juggle the attacks and abilities of 3 characters in real time. So it forces you to pick one character to focus on, while ignoring the others. Which is just lame. The last FF I played was 8, so I can talk to how they’ve done it with others more recently.
