I have a dumb question:

So, the naming convention is confusing here, is this just the next installment of the Remake?

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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)

[–] bungle_in_the_jungle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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!

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 🤡

[–] jemikwa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Geek_King@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] dlpkl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dlpkl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah I see, thanks!

[–] simple@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Someone wake me up when they release it on PC

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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!

[–] Eggyhead@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I’m so glad I forced myself into that series.

Guess I'll need to schedule some PTO
