Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is Now the Fifth Highest-Rated Game…

Summary

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has become the 5th highest-rated FF game.
The game introduces open zones, new characters, and extensive content.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is set for release on February 29.

The reviews are in for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, with the game finding itself as the fifth highest-rated Final Fantasy game to date. When Square Enix first announced its plans to remake Final Fantasy 7, many assumed that the game would be a simple redo of the original, but with upgraded graphics to meet modern standards. Instead, Square Enix went in a very different direction, greatly expanding on the original to the point that the story is being told over the course of three games.

The first of these projects was Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which earned strong reviews at the time of its original release in 2020. Square Enix is following up Final Fantasy 7 Remake with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which introduces giant open zones to explore, new party members to recruit, and a dizzying amount of content to keep fans busy for the long haul.

The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth release date is still a few days away at the time of this writing, but the reviews are already out, revealing where exactly the game falls on the list of highest-rated Final Fantasy games. According to the review aggregate score determined by Metacritic, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the fifth highest-rated FF game to date, sharing a 92 overall rating with the Game Boy Advance version of Final Fantasy 6, the PS2 release of Final Fantasy 12, and the original release of Final Fantasy 10. First place goes to the PS1 classic Final Fantasy 9, which has a 94 rating.

Highest-Rated Final Fantasy Games

Final Fantasy 9 - 94
Final Fantasy 6 - 92
Final Fantasy 12 - 92
Final Fantasy 10 - 92
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - 92
Final Fantasy 8 - 90
Final Fantasy Chronicles - 89
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade - 89
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions - 88
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - 87

There are a couple of things to point out with this list of highest-rated Final Fantasy games. For one, we decided to exclude Final Fantasy 14's various expansions, some of which would have cracked the top 10. Secondly, some of the older Final Fantasy games released at a time when there weren't many video game reviews to take into consideration, and so they aren't listed on Metacritic in a way that accurately reflects how they were received at the time of their release. That's why the original Final Fantasy 7 game is nowhere to be seen.

Regardless, it's clear that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is generally considered one of the best games in the series by those that have already played it. With the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth release date coming up on February 29, it will be interesting to see how the general public shares the same opinion.
