Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is your Most Wanted Game at the Golden Joystick Awards 2023

Nostalgia meets nuance in this 20-game-strong category

www.gamesradar.com

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has won the Most Wanted Game category at the Golden Joystick Awards 2023 powered by Intel.

Due in February of next year, Square Enix's much-anticipated follow-up marks the second part of a planned three-part modern-day reimagining of its 1997 source material.

Hot on the heels of 2020's Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth extends the legendary story beyond Midgar – with a recent trailer teasing familiar spots such as Cid's Rocket Town, Red XIII's Cosmo Canyon, and the indelible Gold Saucer theme park.

Add flashes of an introspective Sephiroth, Jenova, Junon Harbor and that thoroughfare-dominating parade, and it's easy to see why people are looking forward to this one, and, indeed, why it's come out on top of this year's Golden Joysticks' Most Wanted category.

Throw in the teasiest of Emerald Weapon teasers, and… yeah, February 29, 2024 really can't come soon enough. Full credit to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth rising to the top of its 20-game-strong category.

2024 is shaping up well.

Day 1 for this, Persona 3 Reload, Methaphor Re Fantazio and I hope Stellar Blade and FFIX Remake. (+more).

 

[Sleepwalker]

It definitely is mine

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Def hyped for FF7 Rebirth. Oh and those are my day 1 picks as well, OP.

 

[spons]

Good shit and a proper reason to own a PS5.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Weird category.

 

[YukiOnna]

 

[Fbh]

Looks awesome but I'll keep my hype in check.
FFXVI was the most hyped I've been for a game in a while and it was really underwhelming.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Fake]

As should.

 

[IFireflyl]

Not my president game.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Forgot Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, although not sure if I can complete it in time before P3 and FF7.

Not my president game.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm OK with this. Can't wait.

 

[Mung]

Good. My most wanted game.

 

[Punished Miku]

I dont believe them honestly. The 1st did well but didnt sell a ton. I want to see how many people spend $70 on it. Having a remake as your most anticipated game is especially sad when you pretty much know what's coming lol.

I have to keep saying this but people just dont want to except it, Final Fantasy VII Remake.....despite of have Remake on title, its not actual remake.

They made it perfectly clear this game was not remake.

 

[Elder Legend]

Deserved.

 

[Putyouinmyoven]

Ain’t it the only Xbox game of the year though?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Ain’t it the only Xbox game of the year though?

Huh?

 

[GymWolf]

Ugh.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

What kind of award is that? Who are the nincompoops that even decide on these awards?

 

[azertydu91]

Wrong thread or warring?

I definitely think wrong thread but it was a too good opportunity to not post that gif.

[fatmarco]

Stop with these fake awards lol.

It sold very well though. On par with some Sony first party games.

 

[Madflavor]

It's definitely my most anticipated.

 

[Pelao]

It's one of the games I'm looking forward to the most, but still, awards for games that haven't even come out yet are some of the stupidest, most pointless shit out there.

 

[Magusx]
