The Good

The cast has never felt more like people
Synergy combat makes the party a unit
Queen's Blood and the Gold Saucer could be their own games

The Rough Edges

Checklist chores between the great scenes
The ending trips over its own ambition

Rebirth takes the most beloved JRPG story ever told and opens it up: open zones instead of corridors, synergy abilities that make the party fight like a unit, and a Gold Saucer stuffed with mini-games that could each be their own release. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and the crew have never felt more like people.

The scale is the story. Remake was a hallway by design; Rebirth is a road trip, and the road trip is where this cast belongs. Queen's Blood alone ate hours of my life and I'm not asking for them back.

My marks: the open zones fill with checklist chores between the great scenes, and the ending swings so hard for reinvention that it trips over its own ambition. A 9.0. The first Final Fantasy on my board, and it earned the spot.
