The Final Fantasy VII Remake now has a release date



Square Enix might have stolen Day 1 of E3 without even having a press conference today. The company has announced that the long awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake has a release date, and one within this century, in fact. On March 3, 2020, the first episode of the game will launch on the PlayStation 4.

Rebuilding and expanding upon the legendary RPG for today, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE tells the story of a world fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet's very life force as mako energy. In the sprawling city of Midgar, an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the group, unaware of the epic adventures that await him.

I like ff7 and have 100%'d the game long time ago, but I don't see how this game stole the show. The game is only launching for ps4. Plus, isn't the game still split into multiple parts?

Out of curiosity, where did you find that it stated it's a ps4 exclusive?

It was a mistranslation. I ended up changing the OP the moment the English source was available, and didn’t mention anything about being exclusive.
Nice, so it sounds like it'll launch initially on PS4 and come to PC/XB1 later. The only question remaining is how much later.

I'm interested. I played through CD1 of FF7 a few years ago but found it boring as hell. I never finished the game and if I hadn't been convinced it's one of the best games ever I wouldn't have played for more than a few hours. The slow battles, ugly pixelated environments and bland soundtrack have all been reworked in this remake.

In 1997 it was unique and still to this day thousands play it and the characters story sound location's wil always be a part of millions of gamers memory

I wouldn't really say they stole the show, this looks like a lot of the gameplay we have seen already. Plus, you can't beat Keanu.

Glad it isn't vaporware or going to be the next Duke Nukem Forever, though.
It'd be hard to be like Duke Nukem Forever considering Final Fantasy VII already exists and this is just a remake.

Duke Nukem Forever exists too, it was just in development hell for years and years and then turned out to be shit when it was finally released. This would have to be delayed several more times to reach that level of absurdity, though, and there's no chance it turns out as badly as DNF did. And I say that despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of what they've done with the gameplay changes.

I'm just simply going to wait until all episodes have been released. I have literally 100's of games in my back log. No rush.

Same here. I'm sure when all episodes are out, they'll have a "complete edition" of it, anyway, with extra bonuses. And it'll probs end up on PS5 by that time, so high frame rates?

Finally a reason to actually enjoy my PS4 again and even better it's in my native tongue but I will admit Cloud's English voice is kind of cute but I will always find Zack the better looking one hence why crisis core is so dear to me.

Probably for the best since there's a good chance that it will be sold cheaper as one pack.


Welp, that's what happens when you have multiple tabs open.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
