      It sure sounds like the money spent on those deals makes less and less sense, so I’ll bet we see less of them going forward. Already the exclusivity period for this game is down to only about 3 months.

      I agree. My copy came yesterday and the PS5 is really holding this game back. The PC version can’t come soon enough. It also stinks that the first PC version will almost certainly end up being on Epic before steam.

        Square is super inconsistent with this stuff, that it’s pretty hard to tell what’s going to be an Epic Exclusive and what’s not. I do hope there’s not going to be a second exclusivity period, before it’s coming to Steam though.

        If it’s anything like the first part, it won’t have Denuvo. Besides, I still refuse to pay 70-80€ for a new game, especially in digital format.

    Playing the game now. It’s a lot of fun, some good changes but some negative changes from Remake. The open world portions are just gorgeous. The ubisoft towers and icons are kinda lame but it’s not just a scourge on the map so to speak. The sidequests have been pretty fun, and the soundtrack is awesome.

    Storywise, it follows largely the same beats as the original with some changeups to the formula (I haven’t beaten it yet so I expect some wild changes @ the end like last time.). Gameplay is pretty neat but I preferred FF16’s DMC style combat.

    All in all I wouldn’t buy it at $70, but at $50 it is well worth it

    Can someone tell me in which order I should play the games? I’m really confused with all the titles

      Final Fantasy VII Remake --> Crisis Core (this is optional but provides more context) --> Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

        Thanks, is the crisis core remake or original? Also where does remake intergrade fit in?

          remake or original crisis core doesn’t really matter, they’re the same thing. I forgot about Intergrade, it’s a DLC after final fantasy 7 remake but it really is more like filler than anything useful.
