Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the latest entry in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, is set to release exclusively on PlayStation 5 on February 29. However, the reviews for the game have already dropped, and it seems that both critics and fans are highly impressed with the game. In fact, at the time of writing, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has received the second-highest rating in the entire Final Fantasy series on Metacritic.
With a score of 93 on Metacritic, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has joined the ranks of only six Final Fantasy games that have achieved a score of 90 or higher on the popular review aggregation site. The only game that has managed to surpass it is Final Fantasy IX on PlayStation 1, which holds a score of 94. This achievement is significant considering the legacy and popularity of the Final Fantasy franchise.
It is worth noting that not all Final Fantasy games have ratings on Metacritic, as the site was not established when some of the earlier games were released. For instance, Final Fantasy VI, which is widely regarded as one of the best entries in the series, does not have a rating on Metacritic as it was released in 1994 on the SNES, predating the existence of the review aggregator.
The high rating for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth further solidifies Square Enix’s success with their remake project. The company has managed to strike a chord with both critics and fans, delivering a game that lives up to the expectations set by its beloved predecessor.
