Final Fantasy VII Remake officially confirmed as a timed PS4 exclusive until March 2021

6maLdmn.png

The release date for Final Fantasy VII: Remake is fast approaching, and PlayStation 4 players will soon have the chance to play a reimagined version of one of the most popular JRPG's of all time. However, the game won't be just a purely PS4 experience, as shown by a newly revealed boxart for the game. At the bottom of the game's cover art is a banner, denoting that FFVIIR will be a timed exclusive. This has already previously been hinted at multiple times throughout the game's development, from the initial reveal saying "play first on PS4", to Xbox Germany claiming that the game would release on the Xbox One (later having the statement walked back as a mistake). What is new, and relevant from this cover, is the timeframe of when Final Fantasy VII: Remake could be headed to other platforms--March 3, 2021. Square Enix still hasn't confirmed that the game will be headed to any other platform, at this time, but there's a decent amount of options as to what fans could expect. Previously, the company brought Kingdom Hearts compilation titles to the Xbox One, and has a history of porting Final Fantasy games to PC, showing support for both platforms. Considering the date, it could also mean that we may see Final Fantasy VII's remake make its way to the next generation of game consoles.

The PS4 pro can outperform xbox one and thers hardly any difference between machines so just another silly comment and to hear someone say wait is just ridiculous as why wait as we all kno what happens in ff7

I don't own a Xbox, I meant PC, pretty huge difference for me from my PS4 Pro, especially on a 4K 77' OLED TV. FFXV was a day and night difference performance wise PC vs Pro, there will be performance issues in a game of this magnitude on console. I just want to enjoy this gem the best way possible.

And I have no idea what happens in FF7 PS1, just played Crisis Core, couldn't get past the first 30 min of the FF7 PS1 version as it aged pretty poorly, and the remake was announced so I didn't want to slog through the original. I'll be going into the remake completely blind. Nomura said they are going to update the plot so there might be surprises for people who played through the original, too early to tell.

he means a fully spec'd PC. xbox1s and ps4pro are both inferior to a fully spec'd (and of course, more expensive) PC.
it's not a silly comment if his vision is to be able to play FF7 with the full speed and graphics (and possibly mods) that a powerful PC can run.
Still hardly any difference between ps4 pro and a £1000 pc

if a game is only ps4pro/xbox1s optimized, then yes, PC will definitely suffer. that's why some mods are made by modders to do what the developers were to lazy or had no time to do.
hardly a difference with a £1000 pc pre-built? sure. but if you source and build your parts properly, £1000 can get you a powerful non-intel PC.

jesus christ you and your closed mindedness. let him do what he wants. not everyone is as hyped as you who can't wait for it.

I just pray/hope there will be a way to let us keep Aerith in the party I wouldn't mind if they made her DLC character just for that purpose.
I got an email from Square Enix store stating the 1st class ed preorders are due January 22nd so they are about to reserve physical orders

I mean, I have other games to play and other stuff to do. I don't want to play part 1 and then have to wait who knows how many years for the other parts, when I can just enjoy the full game when it's completed, perfect, and on superior hardware.

This is a once in a lifetime kinda game so it'll be worth the wait for me.

Timed exclusivity is the stupidest shit ever but if it makes coins for the company then i guess.
So I agree with you.

But here's an also starting to wonder. Is "timed exclusive" a fancy industry term for we need another year to port this to other consoles? Make sure maybe there's nothing behind that at all. Maybe it's a straight-up money deal between Sony and then the other consoles just have to wait. Or is it possible that they're just using that term as a way to buy themselves a ton of extra time to put out fires with the initial release and then make things playable for future releases?

i thought sony scored the publishing right? Or has SE gone old school and decided to self publish?

I don't agree with that. Not everyone has the same opinion. Deal with it instead getting so worked up about it

The fact that I was in high school when this concept was first announced concerns me. Most games that take this long to come out almost always end up showing the lengthy/staggered development process. I really hope this is a great game and not another decade of wasted hype.

Final Fantasy XV be like
