My First Impressions of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
During a recent preview event hosted by Square Enix on Jan. 24, I had the opportunity to play the first three to four hours of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Entering the preview, my expectations were low. I intentionally avoided watching the trailers so I could have a fresh experience, and it turned out to be a great decision. My time with FF7 Rebirth brought back a wave of nostalgia for the classic Final Fantasy games I loved in my younger years, which I didn’t feel when playing the first part of the remake trilogy.
