Should you play FF7 Remake or Rebirth first?

Yes, you absolutely should play Final Fantasy VII Remake (including its Intergrade DLC) before Rebirth; they are direct story continuations of a single epic, and skipping Remake will leave you confused about characters, events, and major plot points, as Rebirth assumes you know everything from the first game and even references it heavily. While Rebirth offers a "story so far" video, it's just a refresher for players who've already finished Remake, not a replacement for the experience, which is crucial for understanding the narrative and emotional weight of Rebirth.

You can technically grind running around some areas but you get prohibitively diminishing returns, like needing thousands to level up and some enemies only giving 20 here or there. It's kinda anti-grind. Your best bet will be a Colosseum that you get access to later and then VR battles in one of the final chapters.

Which Final Fantasy 7 remake should I play first?

For the best experience with the <<!Final Fantasy 7 Remake>> series (Remake, Rebirth, and future parts), start with Final Fantasy 7 Remake, then play Rebirth, and only then consider Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, as the Remake trilogy itself tells a new story that diverges from the original and spoils major plot points that Crisis Core reveals early. If you want the full context for the Remake timeline, play the Original FF7 (or its HD Remaster) first, then Remake, Rebirth, and Crisis Core last, but be prepared for dated graphics in the original.

Between 2-3x the length depending on how much much optional content you do, or if you go through hard mode. I'd saying to expect to invest somewhere between 120-200 hours in Rebirth, where as Remake 70-80 could possibly cover plat-ing the game.

Can I play Rebirth without playing Intergrade?

No, you don't strictly need to play Intergrade (the Yuffie DLC) before Rebirth, but it's highly recommended because it introduces Yuffie and Sonon, explains their motivations, and directly sets up events referenced in Rebirth, making the story clearer and more impactful without skipping crucial context. It's short (two chapters) and enhances understanding of Yuffie's role and the game's new Synergy mechanics, so playing Remake > Intergrade > Rebirth is the best way to experience the story.
