Final Fantasy VII Remake PS5 version is available to play now as part of a free upgrade to existing owners. It features many improvements over the original.
Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi has hinted at the entire trilogy getting a Nintendo Switch 2 release.
i mean, weve been joking about this for a while now haha
they're gonna resell this trilogy for the next 20 years ha
but i wonder ... remake and rebirth already had to cut back on the psr4and ps5.
hows that gonna go on that inferior system?
Steam deck runs it ok and the switch 2 is more powerful (docked]. Handheld mode will be the interesting one
No physical release GTFO. This game deserves to be in your collection, not some digital shit.
I can definitely see them offering a boxed collection of the entire trilogy after it’s completed. Or at least it would be a smart thing to do if Square wanted to bring in more money.
Square Enix talks about developing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Nintendo Switch 2 in a behind-the-scenes interview.
Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?
It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.
The fact people will buy it. Xbox gamers generally have minimal interest in this series. Portable Final Fantasy will go down a storm in Japan where the switch sells huge numbers
The Switch 2 version is really beautiful. It looked as good as the PS5 version.
Final Fantasy VII Remake update 1.002 introduces the 'Head Start' mode for a powered-up journey and a fast-forward feature for event scenes.
But why? I mean cool and all just seems a bit random. Now if they could set a mode in Rebirth that makes these Brutal challenges easier then I am all for it...
Because they will release the games as a completed trilogy when the third one comes out but they need a way to deal with the boring sections.
Probably features they are developing for future titles on same engine, or in other words third part, and they are easy and cheap to backport to released entry. Which also expands their options test feature in sort of safer environment, where it won't hurt anything if it isn't popular or used. Since everyone already bought the game. Plus they probably will want to eventually release whole trilogy as one game. Which will warrant feature parity between all three, so doing work ahead of time won't hurt.
"But why?"
Personally I like the "fast forward" as opposed to just "skip" for times when I need to replay a mini game thats combined with story (like the upper Junon 1st infantry mini game). I wanted to improve my result without skipping the part of the cinematic that reveals your result. This feature makes those moments more precise. There're probably plenty of times when this will be nicer.
I don't really see the point of speeding up cutscenes. Aren't they there to be enjoyed. And if you don't want to see them again..just skip them
Does it let me skip the forced cutscenes in battle?
like in the final battle where there's a full minute long unskippable cutscene?
will it finally do that, or do we have to wait for a pc release where 1 guys in his bedroom with no funding to fix this
those instant loads are really the best thing about current gen. keep them coming!
Praise near instantaneous load times
Played the intro yesterday until 7th Heaven.
PS4 Pro version already looked and played really good. But all these bells and whistles for the ps5 and 60 fps is amazing. A true next generation leap.
It's all fun & games until they announce that part 2 will be going back to 30 fps.
