Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth on Route to Becoming the Best Rated Final Fantasy Since Final Fantasy XII

Posted on February 28, 2024 by Samuel Rivera

With a fantastic 92 Metacritic rating, it looks like Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, the 2nd installment of the Final Fantasy VII “Remake” sequel project, has broken the Final Fantasy curse in terms of critical reception for the series.
