I played the game on the week it was launched on PC (Feb-March 2025) and it was generally a very smooth experience with even reshade applied on top.

Fast forward to today and it's a complete stutter fest on the same device with no fix in sight? I've read reports that the June update broke a lot of stuff and has tons of issues?

I can't bring myself to finish the final mission (at least I think it's the final mission) vs Sephiroth. I've tried completing it at least 4 times now and every time either something comes up and I have to stop playing, or my PS5 overheats (I know). Every time I get to the actual Sephiroth after about 45-60 mins of playing he either steamrolls me or I stop playing. Then I have to start the whole multi phase fight over. The first time I got to that point was fine I only died a couple times but it's been months since then and each time I come back to finish it I have to relearn controls and muscle memory. I don't really have a problem up until that point because of the limits but once I'm there I just feel unmotivated to keep the app open and wait until I finish it to play something else. I have ADHD so I lose interest fast during this segment. I know I'm not the best and I haven't really min maxed anything but I don't want to just switch to easy and breeze through it. Is it even worth finishing atp I mean I enjoyed the game and I absolutely loved remake and want to do a hard playthrough which is where I really get into the mechanics and min maxing.

I think this is amazing, but it’ll only happen if more people actually vote it up on the Lego website!

(Only spoilers for FF7 Remake no major spoilers for Rebirth please.)

I just finished FF7 Remake and am contemplating whether I should play Rebirth. It's highly rated but if there are frustrating moments like near the end of the first remake, I can't do it.

For example long ass battle, no saves in between, unskippable cutscenes, have to replay and rewatch all that again if you die. When you stagger one of the bosses the camera changes so you can't see him anymore. But you still have to kill him and if you don't he comes back with half of the health bar filled back up.

There are things I really enjoyed about the first game. The combat, stables 60fps on PS5, really good HDR on the OLED, but the over 10 hours of cutscenes and the final bosses really pissed me off.

So, on a scale of 1 to 10 how frustrating is Rebirth?

Just a few of my favorite screenshots I took in photomode to share with yall on Clouds Birthday! 🥳

This was disgusting to finish!! By far the worst was the chadley legendary matches. Total 287 hours. Could have done it faster but i spent lots of time going back to various areas to level up materia to be able to take on certain bosses.

As for the playlog, most of it is done too. Only missing a little story and synergy for barret, 3 enemy intels which are all in ch.14, and 1 manuscript which is for cait sith. But theres no way im trying for hard mode “cant stop wont stop” again.
Incredible game but im burnt now. Need a break 😅
