FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH review
A story-led action RPG with party synergy combat and configurable PC graphics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cloud and his companions leave Midgar for a journey across distinct regions in FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, an action RPG and the second entry in Square Enix’s remake project. Its combat mixes direct action with strategic choices and party-based synergy skills. The PC edition is aimed at players who want a substantial, single-player RPG, with keyboard and mouse or DualSense controller input. Newcomers can access an in-game recap video for FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, and Square Enix describes the adventure as standalone.
Exploration spans multiple world regions, giving the game a broader travel-and-discovery focus than a narrowly contained action game. Combat also asks players to think about party synergy alongside action, so it may suit players who value tactical decisions within real-time encounters. PC graphics options include DLSS and variable refresh rate, with support for up to 120 FPS on high-spec systems; that upper performance target depends on capable hardware rather than being a baseline expectation.
The game is paid, with a Standard Edition that includes the base game and no free plan. Its PC input options cover both controller and keyboard-and-mouse play. The recap can help players who have not recently played the preceding remake, though those seeking multiplayer or a free entry point should look elsewhere. Choose REBIRTH for a paid, story-focused action RPG with varied regions, party combat and configurable PC graphics; skip it if you want a free game or multiplayer-focused play.
