Dropped FF7 Remake, Is FF7 Rebirth better?

This game's pacing fucking sucks lol, there is genuinely nothing happening in the story for 10 hours, theres too much filler and padding and I dont feel like playing it (I stopped at chapter 11) ,also the enemies are extremely tanky for no reason.

Sephiroth is pretty cool tho, so what I wanted to ask is, with these criticisms in mind, is FF7 Rebirth worth playing? I've heard a lot of good stuff about it but I'm not sure if that praise means improvement over the previous game, I dont mind watching a recap of the story I missed but I would like to know if the pacing is at least better than this one's because I'm interested in it.
