Honestly, i didnt like the story changes / whispers either. But in contrast to the other reviews here, i think the positives outweigh the negatives. I feel the creators of this game did really care about the IP and are telling a story they really enjoy. And that shows with the polish on the games. However in a world where BG3 exists.... the bar was raised higher than rebirth was able. I hope they take steps to improve the narrative structure and maybe have some fans test the 3rཧd before release. I have played a lot worse, for $90x3, which𒁃 will be $270 cad for the whole series, and im on the edge of my seat for hours playing these, its worth it for me.

Those stroking the original also need to understand there will never be a ff7 again. It was🌌 a product of its time and a crescendo following ff6. FF7 has its own seinfeld effect, where even though much of it is tedious dogsh*t, we live it because it defined the genre.
