Square Enix is taking a page from the Nintendo book of Directs, as it’ll be broadcasting its first episode next week of a new showcase called “Square Enix Presents.” Taking place on March 18 and probably at an ungodly hour, there’ll be 40 minutes of content to sit through. Square Enix isn’t short on games right now either, as it has a packed slate of projects to pick from.
According to the listing, this version of Final Fantasy VII Remake cannot be upgraded to the PS5 version, so you’ll still have to shell out if you want all those fancy next-gen extras on that console.
The biggest deviation to the remake wasn’t just in how it played or how fantastic it looked, but also in the story that it told. A hard left in a direction that opened Final Fantasy 7’s classic tale up to exciting new possibilities, you can expect Part 2 to make good use of that paradigm shift to take the franchise in a new direction that is fresh new ground for players to explore.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 is naturally in the works, but like most game projects this year it happens to be feeling the lingering effect of COVID-19 and drastic lockdown measures to contain the virus. That pandemic paradigm shift has had an influence on how Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 is being developed, but fret not! It’s nothing that Square Enix can’t handle.

With the Midgar chapter over, there’s still a whole lot of content left to tackle albeit with brand new plot twists, characters and summons. The foundation is there, the next game will likely be a PlayStation 5 timed exclusive and new tech should make for a smoother and less padded out experience.
Tell us which icon of the past you’d fling your credit card at if it looked shinier, played better and you weren’t afraid of the story deviating from what you originally experienced. And yes, the right answer is indeed Final Fantasy 8 Remake.
It’s not easy to create a character who looks and sounds so iconic, but when you’ve got the men of steel heading to the voice recording booth faster than a speeding bullet, that’s just a brilliant bit of casting.
