Another game similar to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is Final Fantasy 15. Since it is made by the same devs, you can expect familiar elements. The title follows the story of Prince Noctis and his three allies — Gladiolus, Ignis, and Prompto — on a quest to save his kingdom from the invading Nilfheim Empire.

FF15 features an amazing open world of Eos that hosts three continents — Lucis, Accordo, and Nilfheim. The game has an Active X Battle system, similar to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's real-time combat that is flashy. Here, you fight various monsters along with your pals while exploring the world. While its magic system isn't vast, it is still impressive to witness.

Tales of Arise is an acclaimed addition to the Tales series of fantasy JRPGs. The title focuses on two lead heroes — Alphen, a slave who cannot feel pain, and Shionne, who is untouchable, as they engage on a quest with diverse allies. The game's watercolor-esque art style provides a unique visual identity to the character.

Arise features a real-time combat system, similar to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth but with a bit of Bayonetta mixed in. Character control feels tight and fluid, and there is a good amount of depth in the combat. It uses the gameplay loop of attacking and perfect dodges as its foundation, while the various unique skills add to its variety. Players can execute dynamic team-up moves between two characters.

4) Kingdom Hearts 2

Before Square Enix started using real-time combat in the Final Fantasy games, it implemented this feature in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Its second title, Kingdom Hearts 2, is considered by many as one of its best entries. You should enjoy this JRPG title, especially since it has a semi-open world that's different from the massive open world in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

The game focuses on its command system. While you'll primarily be attacking enemies to inflict damage, Kingdom Hearts 2 introduces reaction commands that allow you to dodge projectiles or even redirect them. Sora's abilities like Drive and Limit attacks allow him to deal massive damage to the enemies based on a particular trade-off.

5) Final Fantasy 16

Another JRPG similar to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but with a much more fluid, action-focused combat system akin to Devil May Cry, is Final Fantasy 16. The game follows the story of Clive Rosefield, as he embarks on a quest for revenge against the Dark Eikon Ifrit.

The gameplay loop encourages aggressive playstyle, as you constantly bombard your enemies with attacks while dodging theirs. The majority of your damage will come from staggering enemies. You can mix unique magic attacks or Torgal's Sic command to extend your combos and maximize your damage potential.
