The music and scenes across that segment and throughout the Gold Saucer date sequence is all beautiful!

Yes it is! Aerith's singing sequence is damn beautiful, specially considering what is most likely to happen by the end of the game (don't know if they'll change her fate or not)
And the Gondola ride with Tifa ended up being pretty funny and well executed.
When Cloud pulls her and hugs her instead of kissing, ahah.

Thought I'd go back and Plat the game after a long break, I think this my be my GotY so figured why not, only have a few things to do and the Hard mode playthrough once i hit level 70
My god Gongaga, as beautiful as it may may, is one of the most frustrating places to get around in any game , the entire SW part of the pat is unused for the main game and its such a pain to get to all the things down there

LTTP with this game but does anyone else have an issue with the look of this game? Regardless of performance mode, this game is EXTREMELY blurry on my LG oled. I've messed with sharpening settings for my monitor, tried all the different graphics modes, etc. and I can't find a solution to this. Like, it looks really bad. Just curious if others have noticed this as well and did you just play regardless or find a solution?

I still can't believe the quality in cutscene direction and cinematography in Rebirth, it just gets better and better all the way through!
I enjoyed Gongaga because it felt like one of those few forests in games where you can actually get lost.
That's weird, performance mode is definitely blurry but the quality mode looks sharp on my LG OLED and rendered natively from 1800p-2160p throughout from memory at a very good 30fps.
Have you calibrated your TV and which picture mode are you using? (also what LG model?)

I mean yea, I do like the area but its mainly the Map that makes it seem like "hey follow this road and you can get there" but then you do and the actual route to get there is miles away through some jump mushrooms, weirder still its only this part of the Map that has this design

The final stage of the queens blood match... I confess, had to youtube the deck. I tried by my own but was constantly getting my ass kicked.
Where's my mobile Queens Blood, Square Enix?
Also the Metal Chocobo cover on the Party animal sidequest is so fucking good and out of nowhere:

I stumbled upon Gilgamesh island thinking it was another normal sidequest, just to find out its the games post ending content.
Battling 2 summons at the same time?
I thought the game's max level was 50, like the first one, but apparently is 70. Makes sense I got my ass kicked

Took a break after beating the brutal VR challenges, Queen's blood and all the mini games. Just started my hard mode playthrough and going back to just enjoying the game in graphics mode without sweating the whole way is so relaxing. One of the best RPGs of all time, fantastic VA work.

Yup my dream game became reality which now only the final game can top.
I listen to the soundtrack most days whilst working.

No spoilers, I think I'm near end game. I just finished
If I finish the main story, can I go back and complete all the sidequests I didn't finish yet or is there some things I'm supposed to do that are missable?
the ferris wheel date and I have to chase after Shinra.

Yes, you can "time travel" to earlier chapter and do the sidequests

After playing through this to nearly the end I uninstalled it, and watched the rest of the story on YouTube, and then replayed the original FF7 to scrub the remake project from my brain.
I personally think the Remake project (rebirth in particular) is terrible and whoever they made it for, it wasn't me.
I could create laundry list of the stupid and inane changes that were made to the story and the characters but needless to say, I won't be buying the next entry. I feel like an idiot for spending $70 on this game, especially after Remake, but I had hoped that Rebirth would somehow be good. The battle system is the only thing that's worthwhile in this game, everything else is beyond dumb.
I wanted to list specific complaints but don't want to spoil anything for the people who do care, and I can't seem to get the spoiler tag to work here, so in its place I will leave this video which spoke to me on multiple levels.
I will watch the story of FF7 part 3 on YouTube just to see the disaster that it will be and what they do to the remains of the mangled corpse of what was FF7.

Yeah it's super weird. I've read other reddit posts sharing the same issues, but my brother didn't experience this at all on his C3. I have this monitor as well but pretty much all default settings - https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-32gs95ue-b-gaming-monitor

It's worth playing around with different calibration as it makes a pretty big difference!
I have a C9 and I know the newer models have more 'AI' picture settings that many recommend turning off, so perhaps it's one of these things affecting you.

Like the first one, you get the ability to Chapter Select after completing the Main Story.
Note that any partially completed side quests are reset.

I just finished Junon side quests.
I googled and saw there is 7 main regions with quests.
Is there a list of "definitely do these" and ignore the fluff? I plan to do the Gilgamesh quests, and the ones that let you juice up the new summon for the area.
Anything else a must? The dolphin mini game made me question my life choices.

You best mind your words on that dolphin mini game. I have played an ungodly amount of that one and love it dearly.
To be honest I think if you are going to do Gilgamesh stuff you might as well do everything. You will get to a point where you won't really mind anyway.

I liked all the minigames, but you can skip a lot of them. If you hate minigames just do the ones that gate the main story and skip the rest. IMO the least enjoyable ones were Kid G, which you get after Gold Saucer, and my favorite one was probably the piano minigame

My fav minigames:
1. Chocobo racing
2. Queens Blood
3. Frog jumping
4. Dolphin
5. Piano

Cactaur Crush is pretty difficult. To get the top score I had to drop to Easy and that's with a mostly maxed out char.
The harder Aerith one I got to the end and still didn't have a high enough score twice.

Mine were
1) Piano
2) gears&gambits
3) queen's blood
4) red xiii presents: rocket league (wish there was more of this)
5) junon parade
least favorite were kid-g and 3d brawler (3d brawler animations got me f'ed up)

I knew that area would be like that the first time I got there. I want to get the plat to and my first thought was how much of a PIA is this going to be.

I'm playing through this slowly because nowadays I don't get a lot of gaming time. I did take a quick look at the thread and I have to say that I liked the pacing until reaching the gold saucer. Navigating that was a pain for sure.
I just arrived to Cosmo Canyon but fell asleep at the explanation so I think I'll have to go over that part again.
I've liked the game so far in general. The fighting system took a while to get used to (the synergy system wasn't obvious to me) and now that the characters are more developed (about level 37) more options open up.

I didn't count that as a mini-game, but it would make my top 5 ahead of the piano. Only because I sucked so bad at it! (but enjoyed it a ton).

I'm on the last chapter now and I can see why the user reception for this game hasn't been anywhere near the critics response.
The game just isn't great to say the least.
I thought the game started off far slower than it should have over the first 5-6 chapters but it was nothing disastrous.
Thought the game picked up quite a bit for the next few chapters after that, definitely the best part of the game for me.
But then chapters 10, 11 and 13 are some of the most boring overlong sections i've come across in any game. Just doesn't respect the player's time and feels very disjointed at times.
Not even going to get started on how poor most of the side content (quest, minigames etc.) are, feels like quantity over quality in every way.
Much preferred the previous game to this.

Amen.
I'm on chapter 9 and I've been playing for 62 hours. Still mostly I can't stand the game and it's been a huge let down for me. The combat is nice though. As a fan of the OG FF I'm just pushing myself to finish the game. I've heard bad stuff about
Cosmo Canyon
I loved Remake except the ending and I haven't replayed it because of the few over long dungeons.
Certinty
Member
Unfortunately, it's as bad as you've heard.
The immediate chapter after is quite bad as well, not all of it but a good half of it is bad considering the character you've forced to play as.
Then two chapters after that is by far and away the most overlong and repetitive chapter of them all.
It's just poor all round.
I had to force myself to continue with this from Chapter 10 onwards.

My ff7 save is on ps5....but I bought the double pack on pc. Do I need to play part 1 again on pc for anything in part 2?
TheUsual
Gold Member
Not sure...but maybe just create a save file at the beginning in Part 1 to possibly get stuff for Part 2.
I remember I did something similar for ReBirth on PS5. You got access to a couple summons and gear.
I would assume SE will be doing something similar.
That's where I am last time I played. FK! Might just give up

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
62 hours and you're not even at Cosmo Canyon yet? You're gonna be 120hrs or so by the time you end, if you decide to continue.

Holy shit.
I decided to skip the card game and some of shittiest minigames so that someday I'll finish the game.
Most of the minigames feel like mobile game garbage.

IIRC, you need a completed save for that. Leviathan for the base and Ramuh for Intermission.

Hmmm ... Maybe. I played Intermission on PC only and never on PS5. Still got Ramuh though on my PS5 playthrough.

Jesus the pc version of ff7 integrade looks bonkers.
I forgot how good looking this game can be. Even with low quality textures on some parts.

Where do you see user reception does not been anywhere near the critics? I'll wait.
Your opinion compared to the numerous high user average ratings at any site that collects that data is what's wrong.

I'm diving back into this after a looong hiatus. I just fell off because the amount of content felt too overwhelming! Not a bad thing per se but I wasn't in the mood for such a lengthy game because I was in the middle of Baldurs Gate 3 (for some reason I bought FF7 Rebirth at launch despite knowing this).
I have somehow managed to avoid getting spoiled for over a year, thank god. I know it deviates from the original, though. Gonna be interesting to see what happens. Right now my best guess is
but I hope they thought up something less predictable.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot how much this game oozes high production value, it's kinda crazy how it's impact isn't more widely acknowledged.
Edit: Is the spoiler function broken? Doesn't seem to show up for some reason
Edit2: Nvm, works now

Tifa will be the one to get shishkebab'd by Sephiroth instead of Aeris
but I hope they thought up something less predictable.
