Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth worth playing without nostalgia?

Square Enix is back with another installment in the iconic Final Fantasy franchise. Following 2020’s Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second installment in the publisher’s reimagining of its most iconic entry.

While Square Enix could have updated Final Fantasy VII’s graphics from 1997 and called it a day, the developers chose to also expand the story and overhaul the combat system. Of course, this expanded story allowed the remake to be split into three separate entries.
