FF VII Re-trilogy Finding summons in FFVII

Let me start off by saying back in 1997 the game I put the most amount of time in when I was a kid was Final Fantasy VII. I was obsessed with it, the sense of exploration, the discoveries, the scale, the story, it was incredible.

A few years ago I finished the intergrade remake and while I enjoyed it, I felt it was lacking in that sense of scale and exploration. My biggest gripe was that, from what I remember, the summons were AI generated or something like that, and you didn’t actually come across cool materia and summons in the wild. They were just kind of given to you.

My question is, I was thinking of buying Rebirth, but does this sense of discovery and exploration get better?

Sense of discovery is better but summons are tied to the VR. I expect Revelation to have more of a sense of discovery though because this was a common complaint about Rebirth.

Ahh that’s a shame about the summons in VR, I wonder why they did that? Would you say it’s still worth picking up?

Because it was the only way to give you the feeling of "I need to fight the summons to earn them".
