A Fresh Spin on an Old Favorite
I'm all set to dive into a remake I swore would never occur. Despite pushing my comfort boundaries with its narrative alterations, Remake still managed to captivate me with its combat. It remains one of the best ways to interact with characters I've cherished for a long time (the English voice cast is a true delight).
Exploring New Combat Mechanics
The combat has undergone some changes this time. I've previously shared some crucial tips for understanding Rebirth’s combat foundation and how Synergy skills and abilities function. It's still uncertain whether these new mechanics will be a hit or miss, especially once the full game is out. But so far, I’m enjoying its role as a valuable gauge worth filling beyond ATB. It aids me in constructing a strategic framework for each fight, and the core of the combat system remains one of my favorites in real-time RPGs.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: First Impressions
When Rebirth launches, I want to be in top form. The first three chapters have already left a strong impression on me. In other news, players have discovered an intriguing painting in the manor as showcased in the demo. It might contain a portrait of a rather tragic character, which has sparked my curiosity about what else is hidden in plain sight. - Claire Jackson
FORTNITE: The Battle Royale Experience
As an avid battle royale player and shooter enthusiast, I don’t frequently play Fortnite. The last time I was engrossed in Epic’s vast metaverse/BR was during Ariana Grande's in-game concert. However, with my TikTok feed recently flooded with videos of kids staging fish weddings and attacking Peelys, I've reinstalled the game and it’s already pulling me in. - Alyssa Mercante
HONKAI: STAR RAIL
Just when I think I’m out, Honkai: Star Rail pulls me back in. HoYoverse’s sci-fi RPG has just received its first major update in the form of version 2.0, and I'm once again immersed in the grind. The game continues to impress with its new limited-time events, stunning new characters, and engaging main quest. - Willa Rowe
FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is nearly here, and I'm grateful that the game provides a comprehensive summary of the story to help players refresh their memories before jumping in. I'm eager to steamroll the game with my overleveled characters. - Streamers Visuals
