Much more than just a continuation of the story from the first game, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth definitively sets itself apart as a bold new chapter in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. Beyond taking the party out of the confines of Midgar and into an expansive and dense open world, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth skillfully enhances many of the aspects of Remake, iterating and improving on the first game’s systems. One of the main areas in which these changes are most immediately noticeable is in Rebirth‘s combat, which greatly expands on Remake‘s through the introduction of Synergy Abilities.
