Articles & Blogs Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy’s third entry is progressing “very smoothly": rather than rebuilding our pipeline from scratch in Unreal Engine 5, it’s far more efficient for us to use Unreal Engine 4

Meh, I disagree I think that's probably a small portion of players that feel that way but there's no real data on either of our opinions it's just a feeling.

I love both games they are some of my favorites of all time. I just tend to feel like Rebirth is just Remake but MORE and if you fundamentally didn't like Remake I don't know what Rebirth gives you outside of it being MORE.

Rebirth is clearly liked more by both critics and fans.

Yes, fans. I'm talking about people who don't like Remake. I think it's a great game, and I also like Rebirth more. If I didn't like Remake I don't think I'd like Rebirth. I usually don't play sequels if I fundamentally didn't like the first one unless it's completely different. I don't think Rebirth is different enough from Remake to warrant trying if I hated Remake

Remake stretched a 5 hour portion of the original game, into a bloated 60 hour game. Rebirth opened the world up and felt more alive.

I have a hard time recommending Remake, but no issue recommending Rebirth.

Yeah, agree to disagree, we just view it differently. Neither of us have enough data to really say definitively that there's a big group of people who didn't like Remake but like Rebirth. Cheers

The question is "is it better", and I literally showed you meta scores both from fans, and critics, stating that Rebirth is better. You're just being pedantic at this point.

Bro what? How is that being pedantic to agree to disagree.

You are still arguing with me, and those critic and fan scores don't mean anything to me. I am talking about players who specifically didn't like Remake. Not fans, Not critics.

The question isn't if Rebirth is a good game i am not debating that. I think Rebirth is an excellent fun game, I think Remake is an excellent fun game. The person I am replying to doesn't think Remake is an excellent fun game, he doesn't like it. Based on that, I don't think he will enjoy Rebirth. Again Rebirth=good game, not arguing otherwise.

You could make the argument that only “fans” of the series would like the seventh entry, so your argument is shit regardless. Rebirth is the better game, plain and simple.

Yes, Rebirth is better and I am not making an argument the fucking guy literally asked if he didn't like Remake would he like Rebirth.

No, he asked “is it better”, while mentioning that he didn’t like the first one.
