“Tetsuya Nomura (Director, FFVII Remake) and Yoshinori Kitase (Producer, FFVII Remake) delighted fans in person at the Final Fantasy VII: A Symphonic Reunion concert this evening when they announced Final Fantasy VII Remake will be coming to PS4 worldwide on March 3, 2020. In addition to this exciting news, they revealed a new teaser trailer featuring never-before-seen footage.”
Enhanced Graphics and Gameplay
The remake promises to deliver a completely overhauled visual experience, leveraging the power of the PlayStation 4 to bring the beloved characters and environments of Midgar to life in stunning detail. The game will feature high-definition graphics, realistic character models, and intricate environmental details that were not possible in the original 1997 release. Fans can expect to see iconic scenes and locations, such as the Sector 7 Slums and the Shinra Headquarters, rendered with breathtaking realism.
Moreover, the gameplay mechanics have been revamped to offer a more dynamic and engaging experience. The combat system has been updated to blend real-time action with strategic command-based elements, allowing players to switch between characters seamlessly and execute a variety of attacks and abilities. This hybrid system aims to appeal to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers alike.
Expanded Storyline and Characters
In addition to the graphical and gameplay enhancements, the Final Fantasy VII remake will also expand on the original storyline, providing deeper character development and new narrative elements. Players will have the opportunity to explore previously unseen aspects of the game’s world and uncover new secrets about the characters’ backgrounds and motivations.
One of the most exciting aspects of the remake is the inclusion of new side quests and missions that will add depth to the overall experience. These additional storylines will allow players to spend more time with their favorite characters, such as Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart, and Aerith Gainsborough, and gain a better understanding of their personal journeys.
Square Enix will be revealing more details on its plans for the Final Fantasy VII Remake during their live event taking place later today. As always, we will keep you up to speed on all the latest news about the game and infamous villain Sephiroth.
