I have a dumb question:
So, the naming convention is confusing here, is this just the next installment of the Remake?

Not dumb at all. The naming convention is whack.
This is indeed the next instalment of the remake, the sequel to Final Fantasy VII: Remake + Intergrade (the Yuffie DLC)
How vital is it to play the Yuffie DLC? I avoided it because it came just long enough after the main game that I didn't fancy re-learning how to play for a short DLC.
Admittedly, as may be apparent, I didn't look too much into it.
Without spoiling anything, Intermission (Yuffie's DLC) takes place in the middle of the Remake storyline and basically follows what she's up to before presumably joining the party in Rebirth.
I like Yuffie as a character, so I enjoyed playing the DLC. But you could probably find a Twitch stream or no commentary Youtube playthrough to catch up on the story if you don't want to play it and not miss out.
It's probably not too vital. It sets up some new backstory for Yuffie (and also ties into some elements of Dirge of Cerberus of all things), but I am assuming Rebirth will sum up the important parts of Yuffie's story so far, at least in broad strokes, for when she joins the party.
The combat in the dlc is much more refined and felt like a sign of what's to come in rebirth. It's very fun mechanic wise, it actually makes the main game harder to play haha
Ok great! I didn't finish the first installment on PS4, so I can wait for this new release and play through the first part and second part + DLC all in one game. Sounds good to me!
The order is actually First Part > DLC > Second part, but yes! And if you fancy getting the full experience they also re-released Crisis Core FF7 (the prequel with Zack and Sephiroth) on PS5 as well well.
SqEnix isn't milking this at all 🤡
It makes sense, especially with the direction Remake started to go. And the original Crisis Core was getting to be very dated by now, so a refresh was welcome
Oh it does make sense storywise. I'm more salty about the fact that Remake + Intergrade are now free if you pre-order Rebirth. I spent €100 on that man T_T
I'm usually a patientgamer, but the call of ULTRA HD Sephiroth and Tifa were too strong for me.
I don't understand why some companies just can't figure out a consistent naming schedule for sequels. I'm looking at you Capcom and Street Fight Ultra Turbo Alpha Second Strike Tournament Edition with a Cherry On Top
Since you seem to know what's going on, is FF7 Rebirth a full package? Ie does it include Part 1, the DLC, and the new Part 2 all in one game, or would someone have to purchase those separately?
It is just part 2. Will there be a bundle of both at some point? Maybe. But it's set to be a trilogy, each installment a separate release.
Ah I see, thanks!
Someone wake me up when they release it on PC
Just beat 6 this weekend and started 7.
I think I got pretty far in it back in the day, but I don't think I ever finished it.
Crossdressing part was good
There's a similar bit in Trails in the Sky I ended up unexpectedly enjoying.
Joshua: "Good luck, Estelle."
Estelle: "...What do you mean, good luck? You're coming too, right?"
Joshua: "...Pardon? The plan is using a maid's disguise. There's no butlers in that part of the castle."
Estelle: "So what? You fit GREAT in a dress!"
Joshua: "...Just drop it, Estelle. They only have the one outfit."
Head Maid: "Well....so actually..."
Joshua: "...no. No, we are NOT doing this!"
Thank you for reminding me of this scene, that was played out so well!
I’m so glad I forced myself into that series.
If you're the kind of person to be able to play a lot of games. Which i imagine your are if you were playing 6 prior. Okay the OG 7 before remake. You'll get more out of remake if you do. Especially if you consume the other 7 media like crisis core and advent children.
I am playing the OG PlayStation version on an SNES mini.
I almost wish they had kept it in 2D. The awkward teenage years of gaming resulted in some REALLY ugly 3D models.
As long as you keep it at the native res it's not that bad. It's got a charm to it.
Guess I'll need to schedule some PTO
