They don't even give you an hour before introducing clunky and tedious controls.

Very consistent the Japanese.

Pretty funny the community fix for Rebirth is to replace two dll files from ff16; extremely smooth gameplay at 4k with a steady 60 fps on my 6700xt/7800x3d rig so far with the applied fix.

Rebirth models look rather skinny, were Remake ones that small in the arms and legs? Mods are starting to remove shoulderpads and other parts and there needs to be more meat on those bones

“AaKshUly- they made her model more realistic to a proper female form for one that is athletic and flips around and punches and jumps around doing flips etc. her big boobs were too big and so so crazy, there is NO WAY she could fight with them!”

This is a real explanation given to me IRL

As always, looks like there is a decent VR mod, though its still 3rd person

Rebirth is such an astronomical improvement over Remake, it's kinda nuts.

At this point Remake pretty much only functions as the "first quarter of Rebirth", an intro to play before the rest of the game.

I tried replaying Remake right before Rebirth launched, and kinda tapped out around 70% of the way through it. There just isn't much there. There are a lot of things in Midgar that were better left to the imagination with the original game.

I'm nearing the end of chap 10 with 100% of all zones to this point and Rebirth is probably ranking as my second least favorite of newer generation FF with FFXV taking that crown.

Game so far has been 90% copypasta mechanics/quests and like 10% substance. Needing to go through the overly long animations on the buggy is terrible and dumb when it's literally tiny piles of sticks in the water blocking you. Gongaga is also terrible to navigate the first time through if you want to complete the zone fully. Still waiting on story payoff, but I'm not overly vested at this point and it just seems needlessly convoluted. Lots of power scaling issues throughout the game with the main cast characters and interactions with NPCs (Hi Corel Prison).

Combat is slightly better than Remake (especially air combat), but also less interesting with synergies and how easy it is to stagger. Itemizer is pretty good to keep geared up, but makes discovery or farming items pointless. Queens Blood/Chocobo Racing are solid, but the rest of the minigame systems are more tedious than fun. I doubt I'm going to bother replaying on hard mode (the challenge won't be there with how combat changed and the lack of need to manage MP) and Remake had great replay value in that aspect. Yuffie pretty dank though. I almost want to use her more than Tifa.

My experience was different (obviously I liked it a lot). I didn't really do much optional stuff, much less 100% everything. Yeah, things could get redundant if you're 100%ing everything in one shot. I did the main story and only the optional stuff to the extent that they were interesting.

Gongaga is easily the worst zone to maneuver in, what a PITA. That's probably the one I did the least in.

Mild spoilers: The only things I really disliked about Rebirth were A) The final dungeon is way the hell too long...actually a few of the lategame dungeons are way the hell too long. Was really looking forward to Mt Corel and Temple of the Ancients, only to have both run into that "why won't this END" syndrome. B) The way they handled deaths. Two specific deaths, the one in Corel and the one up north. Both of them felt super-sanitized. First one was heavily altered to not offend people, robbing it of gravitas. Second, they cut away during the killing hit and then played fuck fuck games with the character's ghost sticking around talking to Cloud, so that whole thing was sanitized as well not to mention confusing.
