Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Pixelated Playgrounds

Before 2020, Square Enix had been dancing around the question of how to do justice to a Final Fantasy 7 remaster for over a decade, and with the release of Final Fantasy Remake they finally answered that question. Using a state of the art combat system, a faithful re-interpretation of the source material (with some twists!), and a stunning meta-commentary on what it means to re-make a game, Final Fantasy 7: Remake was a stunning experience that both Clint and Bryan loved. Four years later, with the release of its sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, they sat down to record a podcast on their experience with the two recent Final Fantasy 7 games, with a focus on Rebirth and its impeccable road trip vibes.

The amount of additional context and pathos Square were able to bring to the first disc of the original Final Fantasy 7 alone was enough to excite Bryan and Clint for Rebirth, but they could not have imagined the sheer scale that would be on display with Rebirth’s portion of the story. Overall these two games have Bryan and Clint eagerly anticipating the continuation of this endeavor. So get on your chocobo and ride along with Bryan and Clint as they talk through FInal Fantasy 7 Rebirth!
