>HATED Remake
>LOVED Rebirth
I think it's plainly obvious that the latter had the more freedom, but also the more sovl.

The biggest sin of Remake is not letting you engage in hard mode until after you beat the game.
If you didn't play Remake on hard, you didn't play Remake.

they'll do a remake of remake once the full trilogy has been out for a while

Fresh Hard Mode is a must for these games, and I hate that you can't do it without modding. I even did a run of Rebirth with cheats to keep my team low level with no pick-ups just to try it out. You still leave the first chapter almost max level before Hard Mode EXP is bloated, but not having must-have materia for certain encounters is refreshing.

>the game gets good once you finish it
lol

theyre both irredeemable dogshit

Gonna have 2 weeks off and I feel like this'd be a nice summer vacation game, but I also hated to filler content in Remake and 40 bucks is affordable but not exactly a "deal" either, so I'm really split on whether I should get it.

I think it's more that Hard Mode really forces you to consider and optimize ATB usage whereas in Normal/Easy, having ATB just means a little more damage.

Oh damn I didn’t know her sunglasses change with the outfit too for this dual tech

Again, as someone who hated Remake, Rebirth's filler is actually enjoyable. On top of all the unique, one-time OSTs quests have, there is plenty of dialogue with the expanded cast that makes it worth it. For a two-week binger, I highly recommend it if you have any interest in FFVII.

I'm pretty easy to convince sometimes

>>715065696
I have a huge bias because I came to Rebirth off of FF16, which is basically the antithesis to Rebirth. I think you'll know if it's a worthwhile purchase the first time the game's main theme kicks in (you'll know). I hope you have fun with it. There's nothing missable, so just enjoy your first ride.

>>715065240
yes and that hard mode is unavailable until you beat the game

>>715066084
tbf, the new ATB is jarring enough that some kind of tutorial would be required. It's rough. Like, I personally think Hard Mode should be available form the start, but as a comparison, if DMD was available from the start of every DMC game, some people might immediately bounce off that. Basically, these half-measure integrations of action in JRPG mechanics is to blame. And I don't give the FFVII Remakes a pass for chickening out on that.

Everytime i read "hard mode should be available from the start" i just facepalm
Like, explain what you even mean. Hard mode is a NG+, do you want NG+ stats enemies with your beginning party? are you serious? Or do you want to not use items? or never recover MP? whats exactly what you mean?

>>715069231
>NG+ stat enemies with your beginning party
Yes, this.The idea is that in an action RPG, damage should be avoidable. It almost always in in Rebirth, especially in starting areas. Coupled with the massive EXP Hard Mode enemies drop, having a fresh start at it isn't unfeasible.

>The idea is that in an action RPG, damage should be avoidable
this is a hybrid. Damage is expected, but you can avoid the attacks with obvious winding and not being blockable.

You're one braindead faggot.
