It's a top 5 S-E game, it should have sold more

This is just what I was about to ask and you answered the question for me, thank you.

What Final Fantasy 16 did that was annoying was to include the filler in the main story. As long as FF7 R's is optional, then I'm perfectly fine with a bit of content bloat.

Yeah, I didn't finish XVI although I thought it was ok. Rebirth is miles better.

You need to do one of certain activities as part of the story (as to expose you to them) but actually completing the whole map is completely optional, same with the hunts and all of that.

I think it's worth it but tbh I'm a FF7 fan so I might be biased.

Cause I allow it to happen.

Looking forward to part 3.
I have issues with Rebirth, specially regarding the story and writing, but overall really enjoyed my time with it. Still found it a more enjoyable game than FFXIII, XV, XVI and Remake Part 1.

Now if Square could make a new FF that's similar to Rebirth but:
- Is a standalone story that's told completely within one single game
- Doesn't feel like it's written by and for 12 years old
- Makes exploration a bit better and less Ubisoft-like

I like Rebirth, but man, is it bloated as fuck.

Edit: Also Square, can we get some news about Dragon Quest 12 and Kingdom Hearts "4"? Come on!

I also liked Rebirth and I agree. I prefer the linear style of Remake overall more. Also the story just seemed to be going nowhere just constantly following those dead guys.

At this point most of us know the direction this game is going, if some of you guys still get upset why part 3 not gonna follow the original story line then thats entirely on you.

You either onboard with this or you are not and if you are not then I suggest you to skip part 3.

I loved Remake and Rebirth, best FF games since X. I did enjoy the combat better in Remake, but everything else in Rebirth was a huge step up and made me feel the scale of a true AAA modern JRPG.

The only criticism I have is the bloat sidequests from Remake and Rebirth chapter 11, which I have to believe was a huge mistake.

I'm constantly amused that the bloat many people here complain of is really just your inability to control your impulses of completing every little task.

FF7:ReB was almost perfection outside of weak optional Ubisoft tasks.
