I pre-ordered the game after playing the Junon demo, here's what I got from it: Spoiler for Junon demo impressions:
I'm also playing Intergrade these days, it's a cakewalk compared to this demo. |

On that note, I really really hope they kept the same French translator. They received a lot of backlash from players because the subtitles didn't match the English dub and they assumed it was a bad translation as a result.... when the truth is that they simply accurately translated from Japanese (which is exactly what you'd want for a Japanese game) and the reason it didn't match the English script is because it's super liberal and full mistakes like the one you pointed out.
I would hate to be stuck with the English translation.

In CC she said she fears the sky because it felt like trying to suck her in, meanwhile in VII-R she said she hate the sky. Nomura and Kitase explained it because the sky remind her of Zack and her deceased mother; both indeed post-OG addition to her characterization, referring to her connection with Lifestream. At least now we know they're re-reading Remake to ensure nothing felt off.

Rebirth is out but it seems Square's Japanese side messed up by how they released the two disks. It seems the affection meters are more notable in Rebirth than in Remake as it seems Cloud can have more caring scenes with Tifa, Aerith, Yuffie and Barret (!!!).
I don't know anything about the ending yet but the Goldensaucer Spoiler for date:

So far ....
> Costa Del Sol and Gold Saucer are very good, they really successful transforming it from "subjectively good" to "everyone will loves it" > Characterization to Cloud, Red, Yuffie and Vincent are excellent, probably the best "show, don't tell" AFAIK for 2023-2024. Now you can get the feel of how Yuffie and Vincent eventually become their DoC self as well as Cloud became his AC self. > Sephiroth confirms he's tampering with Lifestream. Spoiler for Do not read unless you're fine with it:
> Combat got upgrade to the point there are times AI can't catch up properly; either you toggle it to easy mode or start reading carefully skill and materia description.

I hate it. But not as much as I hate the Fort Condor mini-game. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make you automatically lose if you run of time instead of simply comparing how much health the commanders have should get shot.
I have very mixed feelings about the game. I'm only on chapter 4 so hopefully it will improve, but it's looking like you're going to repeat the same boring and repetitive Chadley tasks in every regions. I miss the linearity of the first game, this is everything an open world shouldn't be. It's just bloat, really.

Fair assumption since Yuffie and Sonon chapter in Intergrade pretty much testing area for Rebirth combat design, Yuffie and Cid also Dirge characters inclusion.
So if they do another append, Vincent is the way to sell it (LOL), especially in consideration to his popularity and Limit Break; clever way to tell audiences that Yuffie and Vincent are 'skippable' not to mention will allow them to finish everything by last installment under reasonable development time.

On chapter 7 now and the game drastically improve when you get to Junon. I've loved everything that happened since. I even got into Queen's blood and managed to win the tournament without too much trouble (I only had to retry with Chadley). Story is mostly the same but the additions are fantastic. Costa Del Sol was great, I actually really liked the Red mini-games. And of course, Tifa's swimsuit!
I guess one thing that helped was getting spoiled about whether Aerith lives or dies. I was in a hurry to finish the game because I wanted to find out but now that I know, I can just enjoy the game and take my time. Sometimes spoilers are a blessing. I also changed from the super blurry performance mode to graphics. Game looks a lot better now. I'll switch back if they patch it, but I don't expect that to happen any time soon.

Just made it to the Saucer at 26 hours as my compulsive open world tendencies always win in the end.
Gold Saucer in this game is exactly what I thought Disneyland would look like when I was a kid. The art direction for every region in this game as been absolutely phenomenal so far.

Vincent have little to no characterization in OG, Rebirth made him "This is the anti-social guy who appears in AC and will be MC of Dirge".
This decision is pretty good because it helps Yuffie and Cait Sith upcoming characterization, as they're Vincent "party members" for Dirge. One thing I appreciated most is probably how they didn't make inclusion of append characters as something totally awesome. Like Kunsel and Weiss in Remake, if you didn't know Cissnei, its fine. So do with with Zero Soldiers, no problem if you didn't play the mobile game, but its fairly rewarding to know who they are. Its overall fidelity. If Remake is "good", then Rebirth is "just enough". Characters can't reach same details as Remake; obvious enough from how Cissnei hairs darker and less detailed compare to her portrayal in Crisis Core: Reunion. Understandable drawback from having detailed, more colorful, spacious towns instead of monochrome town with steel and pipes. Junon and Gold Saucer are amazing.

They messed up the upscaling in performance mode so everything looks blurry. It does run at 60fps most of the time, but it looks really bad.
Not sure what the resolution of the graphics mode is but it's pretty crisp and runs at a steady 30fps. I got used to the 30fps after a few hours. Makes me wish I hadn't been stubborn and done the same with FFXVI.
