Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a beautiful but bloated tribute to the original game, and part of that excess includes a large cast of characters that draws upon the larger world of Final Fantasy 7 media. At this point, it’s getting to be a bit like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because Rebirth adds several characters who never appeared in the original, but did in some of the spinoffs. If you’ve just played either the original Final Fantasy 7 or Final Fantasy 7 Remake, then Rebirth can get confusing at points, since some characters from other games just show up out of the blue.
What We Played #642 – Helldivers 2, Ultros & Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

The weather outside’s been frightful for most of this week, so while my step counts have suffered, I’ve been getting plenty of gaming in. And it’s been Helldivers 2 that’s really sunk its claws into me, despite having to be a little bit patient to log in and to deal with a few gremlins along the way. It’s just a whole lot of fun, and really enjoyable for both short and sharp bursts with randoms and longer play sessions with friends.
But sometimes the servers did get the better of me… and I’ve been obliged to play other things, including the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake, and making a start with the Splatoon 3: Side Order DLC review. So, keep an eye out for those soon
This week, while sharing what we’ve been playing, we’ve also been pondering the Borderlands movie trailer. Kate Blanchett’s hair went down well, while Claptrap’s voice ended up being rather confusing, but there’s also just the question “did we really need a Borderlands movie?”
Aran kicks things off with the actual gaming stuff by wrapping up his playthrough and platinum of Spider-Man 2, and while he enjoyed it on the whole, he preferred the previous games for their stories. He’s also played Slave Zero X for a review which will be coming along soon.
When he’s not been playing Destiny 2, or patiently waiting to get in to play some Helldivers 2, Tuffcub’s been reviewing Ad Infinitum, “which is a WW1 horror game, mostly a “walking simulator” thing but with puzzles and stealth sections. The enemy design is particularly nasty and demonic.”
Jim was another who’s been playing Helldivers 2, definitely finding that the game’s more fun as you dial up the difficulty. He’s also reviewed Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, which certainly plays like it belongs in a museum, but is a good remaster nonetheless!
Completing his prep for the launch of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Nick P grabbed the platinum for FF7 Remake and its DLC. He’s also played a bunch of Helldivers 2.
But it was the other Nic who got to review Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and… well, let’s just say that he loved it! Head here for the full review.
Gamoc snagged Midnight Suns’ season pass as it was on sale, so he’s been doing the DLC missions there, and he also picked up a month of Game Pass Ultimate so he could try out Roboquest, “which is great”, Brotato, “which is OK”, and Palworld, which is “a bit addictive.”
On his usual review train, Steve has been playing both Inkulinati and Ultros. then he was lured into the FF7 Rebirth demo one more for the second batch of content, and followed that up by playing Crisis Core: Reunion. Finally, he’s been playing Regency Solitaire 2.
Miguel’s had a bunch of things on the go with Armored Core 6, the Intermissions DLC for FF7 Remake, Helldivers 2 and Shiren the

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director Confirms Key Town For Third Entry
Players have been gushing about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since its launch last week, and there’s a good reason for that: the game is incredible by all meaningful accounts. Just as important, the title expanded upon the game’s lore, world, and more to ensure that gamers had the best experience within it. Remember, the original “remake” title was set entirely within Midgar, with the team at Avalanche only getting out of the city after a clash with Sephiroth. However, while the Square Enix team did make the world vast, they ensured that there was still plenty to explore within the next entry, which will finish the story.

Whatever you do, don’t skip Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s card minigame
If you’re getting ready to start your Final Fantasy VII Rebirth adventure, let me offer you fair warning: it is a long game. If you’re planning to do every sidequest, minigame, and Chadley combat battle, you’ll be wandering around Gaia for 100 hours. That’s not an exaggeration; I hit credits in 73 hours and I still had a massive checklist of side content to complete.
