My impression that I got from it is that... When they finally make the complete edition for all three games... I hope they clean up Rebirth, because it just doesn't feel as polish as Remake.
Animation is awkward, terrain interaction is a hot mess, and audio engineer is fukking embarrassing. You having a scene and random bgm blaring completely ruins atmosphere and mood... Like having your music soundstaged and orchestrated for every scene isn't really optional. If Last of Us had did that. It would get dragged through the dirt.
They brought in a lot more campy anime shyt that kind of bog down the pacing.
Wish Costal Del Sol was entirely optional. Which would of been a great side mission fukkery instead of making it part of the main campaign when you're supposed to have some sense of urgency.
The exploration aspect just wasn't organic enough that made you thrilled to check it out. Chocobo being too slow and too fast in both of its speed move is beyond frustrating.
Just got to North Coral and just so many moments have completely lived to the hype. The odyssey adventure in this game is like no other.
