So like... about ff7 remake + rebirth... I will get to the point : to people who only played these two games as introduction to the ff7 universe....don't make the mistake of thinking that the OG game is just Remake/Rebirth but less modern. Now, to try to expand on it a little... Even if you love remake/rebirth and think OG is ugly (opinions i don't share but to each their own and good thing if you have fun ), the plot itself is actually different. The characters are different too (which is like...related). There are things happening in OG ff7 that are not there in remake/rebirth. Same for the other way around obviously and i am not talking about boring sidequests to fatten the game or characters from spin offs making their return. I am talking about important plot points. Remake made it obvious it would be different, Rebirth is writing it in bold letters in case it was not clear. Sometimes it makes a 180° turn in some key plot points. The difference are not just about graphisms and gameplay, really. The tone is different, the plot is different (even if you see familiar names and even if the "steps" are similars), the vibe is different, the subtexts are different. Same for the places, you recognize them but they are not just "the OG places but bigger and in 3D" the whole ambiance is often actually different. The vibe is not the same and it's not because of the amount of polygons. I can't say i am very enthusiastic about Remake/Rebirth. Even if, i admit, i like some things (like Barret's smile idk), overall...there are too much things that bother me. But then again, i am not exactly a big fan of the spin offs so trying to glue them togheter is not endearing it to me. Even if you don't care about OG ff7 at all and like... okay you do you, but i have to insist when i say that playing FF7 Remake and Rebirth is...not a good way to really discover what made ff7, well...ff7, in my opinion. And well, obviously there is also the fact that OG ff7 is a complete game (so you understand what are the characters's deal and what is up with this world in more or less 30 hours, maybe 45 if you get lost). Between us, i never understood people saying that the compilation cleared up things that were hard to understand in the OG game. If anything, i think that the compliation only added confusion by basically rewriting things. Some side characters in the OG don't have much of a background? Well, that's what side characters are about, usually. In fact? The characters tend to be cliche of themselve in the spin offs. (for what it's worth i'd blame the awkward translation in OG but tbh the french translation is worst (it's a bad translation based on the bad english translation) and i don't change my mind when i say that it's not any less confusing that the whole compilation. Some subtilities are gone because of the localisation, but the main points are still here) But Remake/Rebirth are basically alternate universes at this point, never mind if we like it or not, there is still a LOT of value in playing the OG ff7. Some things that may even surprise you, since many people (...and the various spins offs too...) forgot about important things that were in the OG.
