Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - The Best Open World Final Fantasy Yet
Ойындар
We’ve spent two weeks with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5 and think it’s the best open world Final Fantasy yet. Expect spoiler-free thoughts on everything, from new combat systems and exploration powers to wild side quests and deep character moments - which you can drink in for yourself in our Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PS5 gameplay. Witness it for yourself when the game releases exclusively on PS5 on 29th February.
Our Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gameplay shows off the grasslands and desert canyons surrounding Kalm, some ferocious new enemies and the very flashy synergy abilities you’ll be unleashing on them. If you’ve read any Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth review you’ll know that this is an absolutely massive game, so we’ve done our best to keep our Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth reactions as spoiler-free as possible. We are happy to reveal that this feels like a true next-gen experience, from the visuals to the scale and ambition.

Loved Rob/s "You've caught me" callback to Friday features😂
This is the Access I love: good words, good jokes, good delivery, doesn't drag on. Great work Rosie!

I agree, what a great video
The owner of the sector 6 materia shop in Remake perfectly sums up how I feel, 'The sauce! The sauce! Woah! Never thought I'd live to see the day!'
I really hope on the 29th we have a whole day stream of just Rob enjoying the game

Very good ❤
I got the notification that my copy is being shipped out!!! I'm so excited!!! I took a couple of days off work, and I'm almost finished reading the Traces of Two Pasts tie-in novel. I didn't expect the size of the map and so many new features and customization. I'm as excited to play the game as I am to see more of Access's coverage. Rob and Rosie always perfectly express the nostalgia and excitement of Final Fantasy fans. ❤
I can’t wait for this game!!! Requested the day off 2 months ago! I can’t believe it’s only 7 days away. Also I love how Rosie just had to throw in Infinite Wealth some how. Her love for the series got me into it as well and now I don’t know how I lived without them!

Initially I wasn't convinced the combat needed so much of an overhaul, currently im about 4hours into the junon update-all of which I've spent getting to grips with changes all of which I see the merits of now. (Wont be doing any story, its only a week afterall)
Thanks Rosie and friends. Playing the Junon part of the demo now . Does anybody know how to get my chocobo up that cliff face or can I not do it just yet.
Fantastic video, love Rosie and her love of FF, but we need Rob's review!
I wish we could fight summons in the open world/dungeons to acquire them
You lot are funny, which is why I subscribed before even finishing the video. Keep up the humor, it sets you apart from the other media outlets.
The OG 7 had its cool/weird quirks, I'm _glad_ seeing that continue in the new expanded 7 trilogy.
"Totally Natural". Glad to see Access is weighing in on the great Yellow Paint Debate! 😂

how could you possibly forget my boy chadley?!
As if I couldn’t even possibly get more excited for the game, the Access team releases this and I’m giddy beyond belief! A question I have is about the transfer from Remake to Rebirth. If there a level cap when you transfer your save? I saw the demo for the open world was capped at 21, does this continue into Rebirth or do you continue with your Remake level? Will the world levels scale up as a result if you do carry over let’s say from level 40?
@PlayStationAccess
4 ай бұрын
Hey! There's no direct save transfer, though you do get extra summons if you have played Remake and its DLC. One thing we don't mention in the video is that it has a dynamic difficulty mode that scales enemies to be a better challenge no matter what your level. We really recommend it as it's quite easy to over level doing all the side quests and activities.
@Kazeromaru

None of the FF7 remake games are going to have save progression, since we know they add stuff because you played the others though, that's a fair tradeoff. But I believe expect to start off at lvl 1 with just a Buster Sword and maybe some materia slotted in?
I’m powering through the ff7 so I can finally play this it’s just sitting in my library I was too excited to wait
I get the feeling we probably will only see Rob when he has to be here, otherwise he is probably gonna be lost to this game for a while.... like the rest of us will be next week
"Queen's Blood" is the Final nail in the coffin for my hopes of an FFVIII Remake (more than the creator interviews) Well, there's still FFX-3 (Kilika is Balamb)
Great video guys. Real shame Final Fantasy 16 didn’t go for big packed open world zones to explore the way FF7 Rebirth has built. Can’t help but feel the story and quality of the script of FF16, combined with FF7 Rebirth open world design, and FF16 would have been game of the year
where’s the psn monthly games video guys? I watch it every month.. That’s the only reason I subscribed here..
Did the Playstation Layoffs in London effect the channel? I hope not....

Guys, I think there's something wrong with Rob. He just seems like he's got something on his mind
I hope they fix the graphic issue
I don't understand how it can be the "best open world" when that world is gated behind multiple releases
That’s an amazing metaphor for FFXIII

Honestly surprised its not ROb doing all the FF7 videos.
next great weekend since 1997 for ff7 fans! i gonna swim ocean to get knights of the round instead riding golden chocobo! if only got fishing mini game

I find the battle system a little messy in remake/ rebirth
Can you change the costumes? I always thought Tifa and Aerith would change their clothes to fit the open world. Tifas outfit is "bartender" and Aeriths is "flower salesman". Running around the world like this seems like you would want to wear pants or shorts.

Saved up vacation days for a week for this :) I'm 41 and grew up with the OG version, and i'm loving this spin on the timelime! Time for a R E U N I O N !

...makes sense Rob didn't do this feature. I'm sure he is busy playing demon souls in preparation for the upcoming elden ring dlc
🙂
Now I just get to wait 1-2 years for it to come to PC.

It's still not a true open world, if it really uses linear-style segmented sections.
