This pivot from the narrow corridors of Midgar in FF VII Remake, to the expansive landscapes of Rebirth is a breath of fresh air in the game’s storytelling dynamics, especially if you – like me – found the settings of Midgar to be claustrophobic and cramped, which you have to give credits to the developers for making it so. Rebirth is also a testament to how the new FFVII stretches its wings, embracing an open-world game design and the narrative depth and exploration freedom it offers.
Rebirth not only progresses the story but also deepens the connection between our heroes and the world they’re fighting to save, highlighting the stark contrasts between the constricting grip of corporate greed and the sprawling beauty of the planet – Midgar is teetering on the brink of collapse.
Square Enix, in crafting this world, has paradoxically created a realm of stunning beauty amidst the narrative of impending doom. But it’s not just the scenery that captivates, as the plethora of mini games scattered throughout the world also adds layers of engagement and diversion. From the nostalgia-laden Golden Saucer, replete with a myriad of distractions, to new additions like card battles, shooting contests, soccer-themed games, and strategic simulations, the game never fails to distract in a good way, offering players the chance to slow down.
