4 Things Final Fantasy VII Rebirth does so right that it hurts
Evolution of real-time combat and tactical elements
Imagine you're swooshing your sword with Cloud or casting spells with Aerith, and suddenly everything feels smoother, like butter sliding off a hot pancake. That's the magic of Rebirth's combat system.
Building on the already mind-blowing hybrid combat system of its predecessor, Rebirth kicks things up a notch. It throws you into a fight where every punch, spell, and limit break flows together in a mesmerizing dance of destruction. It's not just about mashing buttons anymore; it's about crafting a ballet of battle where strategy, timing, and a flair for the dramatic come together. You'll be setting up combos that would make a pro gamer nod in respect and using the environment to your advantage, making each fight not just a battle, but a spectacle. This is combat evolved, where fluidity meets fun, and every encounter is an opportunity to be your own kind of hero.
The cherry on top is undeniably the character-specific mechanics and smarter bad guys. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth doesn't just give you a sword and a spell book and say "Here, improvise"; it gives each character a toolbox bursting with unique toys. Cloud's not just a guy with a big sword anymore; he's a one-man army with moves that'll have you grinning with delight. Tifa? She's not just fast; she's a whirlwind of fists that'll leave enemies dizzy with defeat. And the magic? It's like painting with a palette of cosmic power.
But what's a hero without a worthy villain? The baddies in Rebirth are no longer just speed bumps on your road to glory. They're cunning, they're fierce, and they'll test every trick you've got. It's not just about how hard you hit; it's about how smart you fight, and that can be bit of a learning curve for some (hi, it's me, I'm some).
Every battle is a chess match, and you're playing 3D chess with magic and might. Welcome to the new age of combat, where every fight is a story, and you're the author.
