So far, I'm liking Rebirth a bit more than Remake. I was blown away by Remake initially. Midgar is one of my favourite segments in the original FF7 and the feel and aesthetic of the place is just perfect. I was amazed when seeing Midgar in modern graphics, but as the game went on, it all started to look and feel a bit samey and drab, especially the slums and reactor sections. It worked well in the original because you're only there for a few hours, but it felt spread thin in Remake. I still like the game, but it was a mixed bag in some ways. Wall Market and the Shinra Headquarters ended up being my favourite segments in Remake.
Rebirth is shaping up to feel a bit more refreshing, despite seemingly having the same issue of padding and bloat (and a couple of other issues I'm aware of) It's just nice to see a multitude of classic FF locations this time, and having that variety. The world looks truly beautiful.
