There was definitely some "not all bad" rhetoric in rebirth. If I'm remembering right, Barrett gets his lib on a bit later in the original FF7. Playing Rebirth is kinda disappointing, because the Remake exists mostly with Shinra as the enemy, but in Rebirth that focus is shifted purely onto Sephiroth and some Kingdom Hearts style slop. They even explicitly say a few times that Shinra isn't the enemy anymore.
I didn't like Rebirth as much as Remake for multiple reasons, this included, but also it's a tedious game full of mindless bullshit that it forces you to engage with regularly. The implementation of tedious bullshit is nowhere near as fun as something like Yakuza and it ultimately drags the game down instead of spicing it up with variety.
EDIT: I'm rereading this and I sound like fucking AI, I'm sorry
As someone who basically 100%ed Rebirth and had a blast doing so, if Reunion (or whatever the 3rd winds up being named) has even 15% less Chadley and 'omg 2015 era open world' exploration padding, I'll be so fucking happy
I fought the overturned Bahamut simulation in Remake so I want to throw Chadley under the train in Midgar
