"Revisiting JRPGs: The Impact of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth"
TL;DR
The author spent over $500 on a PlayStation 5 to play and review Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but found it to be a mistake due to their waning interest in JRPGs. While acknowledging the game's visual appeal and improvements over the original, they struggled to connect with it and felt it didn't live up to their nostalgic expectations. The game offers a vast world to explore with various activities and quests, but the author ultimately found it difficult to recapture the sense of wonder they once had for the series.
