Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues the modern retelling of one of gaming's most legendary stories. We recently got to play it.

released in 2020, nobody was entirely sure what we were getting. Without spoiling too much, because so much of that incredible game begs to be seen and heard firsthand, it reinterpreted and outright rewrote major parts of the original game, acting simultaneously as a meta commentary, remake, and continuation of the franchise built around. It’s a bit heady but digestible, and a game clearly trying to work through the legacy of one of the greatest legends in gaming’s relatively short history.

Before the climactic encounter that ended my preview, I managed to fit in some side quests that took me through the motions and familiarized myself once again with the remake’s wonderful blend of action and tactics.

I had to use every bit of these additions and then some in order to survive the harrowing final fight against Midgardsormr, who makes an appearance in this game as a certain reptilian swamp defender. I actually got my ass thoroughly handed to me the first time around, but managed to eke out a win in the second bout with a combination of synergy skills , exploiting weaknesses at range, and using Punisher mode to counter the snake’s lunges.
