Cloud's mental state in FF7 Rebirth is fascinating.

Jenova and Sephiroth have this grip on his mind, almost like an externally driven psychosis for their own purposes.

James Sie's performance as Hojo in FF7 Rebirth is fantastic.

Hojo is a mad scientist caricature, which is tricky to play well. You have to be over the top but still believable.

The violin score that plays during Queen's Blood boss matches in FF7 Rebirth is incredible.

When you face Regina or other high-stakes opponents, the music gets so intense and well composed.

I won't spend a dollar on microtransactions. The moment they make me convert real money into gems or premium currency, I'm out.

That system exists to hide how much you're actually spending.

Captain Titov's voice actor in FF7 Rebirth really nailed it.

You can tell right away in chapter four that they cast someone who knows what they're doing.

Avalanche calls themselves freedom fighters. Shinra calls them eco-terrorists.

FF7 nails this perfectly because the game doesn't pick a side for you.

FF7 Rebirth has these girls in the rest area who sound like they're swooning over guys, but they're actually geeking out over the ship's engine specs. It's genuinely funny how excited they get about horsepower!

Every time you're at the front of a ship, you're doing the Titanic pose. Cloud and the crew at the bow just reminded us we all secretly do the arms out thing when no one's looking.

The way Barret's outfit in Gold Saucer manages to look completely ridiculous AND he's totally proud of it is perfect character writing. He's rocking that puffy vest and hook hand like he's the coolest guy...

🐬 FF7 Rebirth really put a whole Wave Race game inside a JRPG and called it a day.

There are entire games built around mechanics like this dolphin mini-game. The scope of this game is wild.

🤔 Wait, did Rufus really just casually break a peace treaty like it's nothing?

There's definitely more to this story that we're not seeing. The political intrigue in FF7 runs so much deeper than people realize.

🥷 Yuffie going from sneaky thief to "elite ninja operative for the interim Wutai government" will never not be hilarious.

The whiplash from her formal introduction to immediately confessing she was hired to kill Rufus. 💀

🔥 That moment when Shinra gets desperate enough to negotiate with Cloud's crew

The deal: "We won't attack you IF you take out Sephiroth for us"
Even the Turks are backing this wild alliance.

What would you choose? 🤔
