PS4 owners, rejoice! Just today, Square Enix has released a demo for the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake! This demo allows gamers to play through the opening chapter of the game, as well as the events of the iconic Mako Reactor 1 bombing mission.

Moreover, those who download the demo before May 11, 2020 will also receive an exclusive PlayStation 4 theme when the full game launches next month!

​

In FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, players will be drawn into a world where the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation, controls the planet’s very life force. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to an anti-Shinra organisation calling themselves Avalanche. The first game in the project is set in the city of Midgar, and is a fully standalone gaming experience designed for RPG players that crave unforgettable characters, a powerful story and the ability to choose their style of play with a battle system that merges thrilling real-time action with strategic, command-based combat.

Head to the PlayStation Store right now to try out the demo. Final Fantasy VII Remake releases on April 10, 2020.

I think it's supposed to come out on PC...but then you have to wait for everything outside of Midgar to get done...and probably then the finale if they're basing the chapters of the games off of the discs of the original...

...in other words, wait until 2030 to play this, if you even still care anymore.

Wel if can afford one get one in April and then youl see what the fuss was about

It says not available in the German playstation store.
Edit: Ah, it's PS+ exclusive, they not even display a symbol like the did before, so Square continues to rip off people even before the game is out now.

Is this the same demo they had at PAX? Glad I didn't waste my time on that line, lulz.

Yeah, I'm sure Square makes a killing off of PS+ subs

i don’t have playstation plus and was able to download and play the demo. Must be a psn german thing

 

[wurstpistole]

Only for plus in Germany. Would making a US account help?
(edit) yup, works. I just set up a second account (deactivate your ps4 as primary console from the other account before), and now am downloading the demo

 

[Wuigi]

@wurstpistole Wow, that's almost as retarded as having to set up a second account to download a GOTY edition that isn't available anymore if one bought the base game and the season pass is twice as expensive as the GOTY game and of course never on discount.
The PS store really is a mess.

Well, if I didn't care that much about Ff7 I wouldn't have done it but it was my absolute favorite game as a child, so I wanna see the demo right now.

I played the demo and it ends after the first reactor boss and asked you to pre order the game. However others are saying it is 4 times longer than that! i am wondering if different regions got different demos?
