re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will take around 100 hours to play through

I had issues with 15 on release but apparently it’s finally a finished product and people seem to enjoy it…especially newer fans to FF.

I had issues with the final chapter in Insomnia (future) because it felt unfinished. It just felt like you were rushed through the corrupt and decayed city with ripe opportunities for endgame content but there were just no avenues through which to pursue said content.

Turned out it felt that way because it actually wasn't finished. I replayed the game about a year after initially beating it and was VERY happy with the final chapter. Tons of tough random encounters all over Insomnia, a much bigger area to explore and pick fights, and the ultimate superboss "Omega" which I highly recommend if you feel like getting your arse handed to you for 45 minutes.

Initially I wasn't extremely impressed with FF15 especially with the original game's Adamantoise superboss, which was honestly an easy but extremely protracted fight of just skydancing and warp striking with noctis until the thing finally fell... But the whole finished product including the "Episodes" DLC put it near the top of my favorite FF titles. Ardyn will never have the FF notoriety of Kefka or Sephoroth, but he actually did succeed in his goal to cover the planet in the starscourge and was certainly a very memorable and just evil character.

Seriously though, anyone who didn't replay after the whole game was finished, go back and at least do the final chapter again. Load up on mega potions and mega phoenixes and equip the Armiger Accelerator and spam Armiger every time the gauge fills. Between that and trying to keep the party alive to keep Omega distracted, it's a blast.
