Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Physics Have Big Goat Simulator Energy
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's physics are hilarious. That becomes very apparent very quickly, as it's ridiculously easy for Cloud and the gang to cause chaos wherever they go, sending objects flying all over the place.
For whatever reason, just bumping into or even walking past a piece of furniture is enough to launch it across the room. It's enough to remind you of the chaotic physics in Goat Simulator as, despite your best efforts, it's far too easy to leave a room in a state of disarray.
We discovered this not long after we started our playthroughs of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Our reviewer, Jade King, sent over this video from her time with the game, showing the destruction she caused just by navigating the party around some furniture.
As you can see in the video above, it doesn't take long for the gang to make a complete mess of this furniture set-up, sending any item in their way flying. Even Red XIII tags in towards the end there to send two tables into each other, making them clip into one another and causing the physics to freak out.
It's not quite clear why Square Enix decided to have the physics work in this way, but I'm very glad that it did. I'm reassured by those at TheGamer who have been playing the game early that this is consistent throughout the entire game. In which case, I think all we'll have to do is lightly bump into Sephiroth, and it's game over for his villainy.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is only launching today, but reviews went up last week and were positive across the board. Now that fans have their hands on the game, you can expect to see more details and videos like this floating around. This also means that some less considerate social media users will be sharing untagged spoilers, so be careful online if you want to go in blind. After all, there's a big moment that some fans think could play out differently this time around, but we'll have to get to the end of the game to see it for ourselves.
