Square Enix seems to think that the announcement of the Final Fantasy VII Remake could create a sales boost for PlayStation 4. Doesn't seem feasible.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
I have no doubt FFVII will dramatically increase PS4 sales in Japan, but I doubt that it can have a long lasting effect on its sales in the long term. Dragon Quest is the biggest franchise in Japan, just the Slime skin alone was able to dramatically spike PS4 sales, with Dragon Quest Heroes releasing later and having the same effect. Yet there are still weeks nowadays where WIi U outsells PS4. Software spikes can only do so much until things return back to normal.
It will.
:)
Not that I really care if articles are duplicates or not- (No matter how slightly different they may be worded) It kinda bothers me to see such a discrepancy with how often duplicate "Pro PS4" articles are allowed or even borderline Worshipped or taken as the bible truth, but substantially less "Pro Nintendo" or "Pro Xbox" articles make the cut or get the same free pass for the info within.
Now, on topic- this article is from a site called PSXextreme. PSX is Playstation right?
Why would they be talking about a possible Xbox one release if it wasn't likely? Maybe it's based on a unfounded rumor... but what if it is coming to XB1? Timed exclusive or not that would make sense seeing as the last few FF games have come to Xbox platforms as well as Kingdom Hearts 3 coming to XB1.
Food for thought? (Perhaps)
I'm just saying... Disagrees are expected for this comment, but I'm not going down any hateful roads, so please, consider my comment completely before instinctually clicking.
Possibility? The possibility of a remake isn't generating a sales spike. The fact they ARE making it probably is though.
I know PSXtreme is probably a gaming website...I assume they've heard of E3?
Possibility? lol. It will sells millions of copies Worldwide. Its a real system seller. Square knows that, sony knows thats and real gamers know that.
A PS4 bundle with FFVII will be a tsunami sales wise across Japan, USA and Europe!!!
