News Square Enix Explains Decision to Split Final Fantasy VII Remake Into Multiple Games
It was immersion, or cut content
Square Enix has, on numerous occasions, attempted to explain its decision to remake Final Fantasy VII as a series of games, as opposed to just one big release. However, the wording has always been a bit flimsy -- primarily because we've been having to translate Japanese speech into English text. Fortunately, a new...

AH HA HA HA HA
Recently, Japan's national broadcasting organisation NHK hosted a number of Final Fantasy polls, asking fans to vote on their favourite game, characters, bosses, and music.

Red XIII, the highly intelligent dog-cat from Final Fantasy VII, will not be a playable character in the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake.

7th Heaven?
It’s hard to imagine the stakes being higher for Final Fantasy VII Remake, considering this is a recreation of arguably the most iconic PlayStation role-playing game of all time.

Confectionery affection
Final Fantasy is no stranger to curious crossovers – remember when Noctis and gang when on a quest to create the ultimate Cup Noodles? – so this real-world promotion for the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake probably won’t come as much of a surprise. Purchase specially branded bars of Butterfinger between 3rd March and...

News Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo Release Date Is Still an Unknown Quantity
Gamespot retracts statement
Update: It looks like this was a goof-up from Gamespot, as the 3rd March 2019 release for Final Fantasy VII Remake's demo has now been pulled. The article now simply states that the demo's launch date is unknown -- the error marked down as an "incorrect assumption" by one of the site's editors. Therefore, the search for a...

There it is
Last week, the PlayStation Store listing for a supposed Final Fantasy VII Remake demo was discovered.

News Final Fantasy VII Remake Is a PlayStation Exclusive Until March 2021, According to Box Art
New label spills the beans
Final Fantasy VII Remake has never been locked down as a full PlayStation exclusive.
