Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Captures Original's Adventurous Spirit with Minigames and Narrative Risks
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth captures the weird, janky spirit of the original game with its variety of minigames and mechanics
- The original FF7 took a "throw everything at the wall" approach with ambitious themes and ideas that somehow worked
- Rebirth introduces new mechanics, minigames, and ideas in nearly every chapter, keeping things fresh
- The disjointed nature of FF7's development resulted in memorable moments, like not knowing Cloud's memories were Zack's until late in development
- Despite potential pacing issues, Rebirth feels like the gutsiest FF game in decades by taking so many risks, just like the original did
