I'm really enjoying FF7 Rebirth, but have gotten some probably unintended laughs out of the juxtaposition of radical environmentalism and modern open-world mechanics. Story's like "Look at these ugly mako pipelines cluttering this beautiful field! Shinra is the worst. Harvesting the planet's resources is wrong!" Meanwhile the gameplay is like "Lost in the wilderness? Simply follow these convenient mako pipelines to find your way. And if you need a potion, you can craft one by harvesting the planet's resources!"

Quite a tonal shift from the last installment. Barret is out of his element with all that sunshine and greenery, but at least his sunglasses finally make sense.
