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.

hope there are references to Crisis Core and Advent Children, but seems like a lot of work and they might just ignore all the spin offs as if they never happened
oh, you've just destroyed all my hope :( i really wish SE covers at least what happened during Advent children...... the game will be released in episodes through years, and seems they still have plenty of time lol

I hate the idea of "exclusive", and i hate more the stupidest idea of "TIMED exclusive"... it means nothing.

I'll wait for a discount on steam when it'll happens. I'm not in a hurry.

Wow, timed exclusive till 2021? At that rate, it will be easy to just wait a little longer for it to be cracked. Seriously, enough with these timed exclusivities. Crash and Spyro already did it, and I didn't buy either because of it. Only reason I have them is from the humble bundle.

Timed exclusive or not. FF7 remake is already out on NES.

On a more serious note, it's great more people can get to enjoy the game.
I wonder if there will be a watered down Switch port or a super upgraded RTX version for PS5/XB2/PC.

There are however many thousands of games already out in the world that I could mod, tweak or remix to my own amusement, to say nothing of those I have not already played likely being enough to keep me going for years on end. Given we have whole operating systems that run masses of computers (possibly even most of them), office suites, web browsers and everything else then I am sure the open source mob could also make a dent in games if somehow we did see a nice little crash and game companies wiped from the face of the earth (and also nobody realising that everybody likes to play games so make a few of those and people will pay for them).

Personally I would say something has to earn my respect, not merely be afforded it by dint of what it is. Game companies are jesters that dance for my amusement, if they fail to dance a way that amuses me they can fuck off and die (or hope they dance well enough for everybody else that they survive to loss of my patronage, or have enough reserves to carry on and maybe win me back) and will always continually have to prove their worth* -- if we just roll over and allow them their way, or indeed piss on us and tell us it is raining, then we get complacency and worse.

*businesses are only as good as their last quarter, politicians the last election, directors the last film, authors the last book, scientists the last paper....

Can't believe Kingdom hearts 3 on Xbox was almost release as the same day when PS4 got released but this got a timed exclusive.. Sony must've paid a lot to SE.

I (almost) always play 1 (or more) year(s) old game. I will wait patiently, i don't want to waste money in games, i prefer waste money in hardware.
(Now i'm waiting for RE2 remake to drop down to 10€)

And yes, i HATE exclusives... as a "Tales Of Series" fan, i have to collect 1000 different platforms to enjoy the saga. Last thing was a 10€ PSvita TV just for playing Tales of Hearts R...

i repeat, i HATE exclusives, and i hate more "timed exclusives".
