As always I’ll wait for reviews, but the cinematics alone have me pretty convinced, have never played any FF before thinking of starting with this and then playing the whole FF7 remake.

If your choices are 16 and 7Remake, go with 7Remake. 16 looks pretty, but the gameplay is honestly extremely shallow.

At least 16 is a complete story.

Plan to play both, was going to go with 16 before 7 to avoid a downgrade, have been told in both graphics and gameplay 7 Remake is better

Graphics are debatable. 7 Rebirth has a larger, more fleshed out world, and the characters are a bit more emotive and varied, but there are definitely a few parts of the environment that feel a bit last-gen (water especially). They really nail interior clutter, though, so buildings feel so lived in.

16 is smaller in scale, and honestly doesn't even have many comparable town environments to put up next to 7, but the field environments are simply gorgeous throughout. The give and take of visual budgeting at work, I guess.
