Well this is on PS5 where Remake was PS4.Originally Posted by Beowulf
I have actually seen talk online about the graphics not being that good in Rebirth. I can see what they are talking about. They are nice, but definitely look more like prior gen graphics than current gen. And some things just look super weird, like the sandwich Cloud eats or the fire around Sephiroth. Could have been pulled from PS2 days. It could just be some wonky stuff in a demo. But the comparison is obvious after playing FFXVI which is visually stunning.
I liked the demo. It really captured the feeling of the original flashback scene. I hope this is the game's opening tutorial section, because I felt it did drag on a bit. The characters are written excellently. From Cloud's wide-eyed admiration of Sephiroth to Seph's cool confidence to Tifa's excitement. The adaptation of the original music was also very cool.
The combat was fine. Basically the same as Remake with the new dual techs. It is a bit annoying to go back to circle for dodge after getting used to R1 in FFXVI. I also am appreciating the fast paced flow of XVI's combat all the more. Rebirth is a little less fluid. Overall, I had fun with it. The piano mini game was fun, and hard!
