I love the final fantasy series but every time I watch someone play it, it feels like a Yakuza game with all the sidequests.

In fact, these are quite different series, but Final Fantasy VII Remake and especially Rebirth are similar to Yakuza, because most of the time they don’t take themselves too seriously, everything is over the top, and Rebirth has just a crazy amount of different mini-games - almost until the very end they continued to add something new, Square Enix was so gung-ho about them this time. What’s more surprising is that almost all of them turned out to be quite good, which is not usually the case in this series.

Also, new trails game?

Yep, this is already the 12th game, and there’s no end in sight for this series. Last year, the 13th game came out in Japan, the president of the studio said that with it, the plot of the series was 90% complete, but he said pretty much the same thing after the release of the 10th game, so… I hope I live to see the end of all this.
