Now y'all going to have to forgive me Xbox players because of my experience in the gaming industry, I will say I've never been the biggest fan of Final Fantasy, not because of quality-wise. I just personally never had an interest in getting into the franchise. So the reason why I say y'all going to have to forgive me is because I literally looked this game up, trying to see its numbers, statistics, you know, things of that nature to compare it to the other games. the industry currently and guess what i found out i don't know why i didn't already know this because i've seen it many times but i guess it just went you know it just went over my head basically but final fantasy is only available on playstation so when i went to go look at the top sales as far as steamed xbox and playstation i was like dang playstation players they really like this game you know it's it's really uh apparent that only playstation players really love this game

Come to find out, that's the only platform that is on, which, you know, currently you would think that would be obvious, but I totally forgot. So anyways, after spending a total two minutes on strictly my ignorance, let's get into the overview of this segment, which is basically the review roundup of Final Fantasy 7 rebirth, because of course, it's received widespread acclaim from critics, simply for the fact that it is a remaster, but the difference between this and other remaster, is that the gameplay the core gameplay mechanics is vastly different whereas a Final Fantasy no a resonant evil game which is remade could be the exact same with updated graphics this game is a lot different because the term-based setting from the original 1990s game I think it came out like 1997 is more of an

action adventure like this right here as you see um analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio but basically you can see right here that is not what the original game look like all of this swimming around like look they out here swimming uh fighting people like it's just an open world like god of war type game like the original game they came out in the 90s was more of a turn base well not more of it was strictly a turn based game and so as you can see here It has some elements of that, but it's more action, well, it's more semi open world action adventure than the previous installment. So with the title now being rebirth, it makes even more sense because they took, I'm not going to spoil anything, but it took some liberties with the story. Let's just say that to make it fresh and new for people who have already played this story all the way back in the 90s.

So for both fans, the newcomer and the longstanding Final Fantasy fans, they will. probably enjoyed this game a lot more as the rebirth title is a real thing it's not just a word they use just for publicity they're actually taking some liberties with their original storyline and changing it up a little bit so anyways um as far as the game right final fantasy 7 rebirth only out on on ps5 so you know all that analytics and stuff that i was looking for as far as steam and Xbox it just was non-existent because I totally just didn't cross my mind that it was a PlayStation exclusive. So of course the developers of Square Enix, this game came out February 29th, and currently the price point is at 70.

So the biggest thing is that the director, Naki Hamaguchi? I don't know if I said that right. I probably didn't. But anyways, the director came out and said he's working on updates, including enhancements to the 60 frames per second performance mode and addressing facial lighting issues. basically said that the game also um it was something else he said the v gc Jordan is that an article you know another I don't know yeah oh okay is the review roundup okay I forgot the you got the overall point of the segment I forgot I'm about to get into

reviews in the segment but but anyways so yeah the director said that his main focus is basically enhancing the 60 frames per second performance mode Um, what else? There was something else I wanted to get into before the review roundup. Oh, okay. Yeah, this is what, okay, so the studio, which is Square Enix, is actively working on an update to improve graphics, which is also performance mode. So I don't know why this is such a focus. I didn't really hear too much as far as, like, the optimize, um, how the game is unoptimized.

Like, I didn't really hear that too often. So for them to be focusing on performance mode, it seems like, it's not, I'm not gonna say it's not needed because obviously, you know, I guess there's always something you can fix with a video game. But as far as specific improvements, it's just said, it said performance in a way that made it seem

like it came out like a buggy mess, which is far from the case. This is an actual polished game that came out on on PlayStation, which, you know, for some other exclusives, you know, if you've listened to the podcast, you know I'm a humongous Spider-Man fan. And

let's just say that game was more than buggy like the way that star wars was criticized for the optimization of that game not being there basically breaking down on every single platform i think spider man should have got the same level of vitriol but since it was spider man it really just flew under the radar uh let me chill so anyways so yeah i think that as far as this game is very polished but it was something else i was one to get into oh yeah okay so let's get into the review roundup let me see if i can find this right quick okay so this is the review roundup so as you can see we have a lot of different publications given their scores and for a game spot starting with the one who made this article

it gave final fantasy rebirth an eight out of ten and i'm gonna zoom in so y'all can read it once again analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio but basically As you can see, everybody has a lot of good things to say about this game. GameSpot basically said one of the strongest legacies in the medium, as far as living up to one of the strongest legacies in the medium, inverse, I don't know who that is. Games Radar gave it a 4.5 at a 5 saying that rebirth delivers all the charm of remake while making the needed improvements to side content to ensure the original step-out

moment is worth taking once more. And then IGN gave it a 90 out of 100 saying Final Fantasy 7 rebirth impressively builds off of what remake set in motion both as a best in class build, best in class action, RPG, full of exciting challenges and awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long. And then Game Informer gave it an 8.5 out of 10 Eurogamer game over the 4 out of 5. So basically everybody's praising this game, right? So that's a whole thing about the overview is just trying to give you a glimpse to what people are saying about it

and just letting you know that the game ultimately is and had a successful launch as far as on the PlayStation platform. As I went to the top 10 games in the country and basically it's in the top three. Now, it would be number one, but there's these games called, Hell Divers 2 and Fortnite, which, you know, multi-player games is hard to beat out when you're talking about popularity. Because even though it just launched, so its numbers should be the strongest, multiplayer games just have a lot more opportunity and space to be more popular. Because only one game, only one person can play Final Fantasy at a time, right?

But for Hell Divers, for Fortnite, you can play with your friends that makes the time pass by even quicker, whereas some people really just don't like. single player games because they like playing with other people so anyways um what else that's basically i'm not going to drag this on too long basically i just want to give you the overview of final fantasy seven just let you know that it was a exceptional launch definitely a candidate uh well it will most definitely be a candidate for a game of the year but as far as for y'all you know only time would tell to see how the public actually resonates with this of rebirth so anyways click my leg tree in my bio let me know one of my social

media's what do you think about Final Fantasy 7 rebirth and at the end of the day when it comes to Final Fantasy which installment in the long-standing franchise is your
