Final Fantasy 14 Online is now available on the current-generation Xbox consoles. Although their backward compatibility allows access to a wide variety of FF titles, Final Fantasy 14 is only the third series entry made specifically for the Xbox Series X and Series S, and the first since Crisis Core: FF7 Reunion was released in late 2022.
What We Played #643 – Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Crisis Core & Helldivers 2
02.03.2024 - 10:47 / thesixthaxis.com
It’s been a miserable week for people that like weather that isn’t just varying amounts of rain, though the odd bit of hail has helped to add a little variety to proceedings.
That’s just meant I’ve barely needed an excuse to play plenty of Helldivers 2, though I did have a little break to quickly polish off our Mario vs. Donkey Kong review. Honestly, Helldivers might be a bit repetitious, but it’s still just a satisfying game to play. I’m perfectly happy just playing lower difficulty levels and not fussing with the progression too much for a nice, almost relaxing time.
A wild Tuffcub appeared in my game session one evening, too, though he was saddened that my cat wasn’t playing. Obviously when left to his own devices he played Destiny 2 as well.
It was Gamoc’s birthday earlier this week – happy birthday! – And while he didn’t get any specific birthday games, he did get Void Bastards, “which is a fantastic name” and he continued on with his latest Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough.
Of course, there was really just one game that everyone has been playing or preparing to play: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Aran played through Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion, and really enjoyed it – “I think I definitely over levelled a bit too much, as I beat the last boss in about a minute.” He also started Need For Speed Unbound, just switching off while racing, drifting, and smashing into other cars.
While he reviewed it last week, Nic B has also played lots and lots of FF7 Rebirth, while Nick P has already sunk 15 hours into the game “and I’ve barely done anything but explore. This game is quite large!”
And Steve has also played Crisis Core in preparation for Rebirth, but as it usual, he’s been playing plenty of other games. He’d rattled through Ultros and Regency Solitaire II for review last week, and has now rolled into The Thaumaturge and Pacific Drive, but he’s also been dealing with a temperamental PC that’s made reviewing rather tricky…
Finally, we come to Ade, who played a load of Skull and Bones and actually kind of loves it! Read his review of that here. You can also read his review of the stealthy turn-based tactical game Classified: France ’44.
That’s us, but what about you? Let us know what you’ve played in the comments below.
