Give the gamers what they want!
This week during E3 2015, Square Enix announced that it is currently working on a remake of the company’s most popular Final Fantasy installment to date, Final Fantasy VII. Members of the team that worked on the original game are also heavily involved in the project, including scenario writer Kazushige Nojima, director Tetsuya Nomura, and producer Yoshinori Kitase.
The original Final Fantasy VII launched on the PlayStation console back in 1997, followed by a release on Windows PC in 1998. Since then, the game has appeared on a number of other platforms including Android, Steam, and the PlayStation Network.
Looking back, the original PlayStation version of the RPG shipped on three discs. Presently, the digital PC version for sale on Steam requires 3GB of drive space and costs a mere $11.99.
“The original title received high praise for its epic storyline, unique characters, and movie sequences that utilized the most cutting-edge technology of the time,” Square Enix said. “Since then, the game has sold over 11 million copies worldwide and continues to receive widespread acclaim from critics and fans around the world.”
The Final Fantasy VII remake appears to be heading to the PlayStation 4 first. However, there may be a chance that the new “upscaled” release will make its way to Windows PC much like the original game did nearly two decades ago. The company also mentioned that it has “begun production,” which indicates that the game will likely not arrive until 2016 or later.
As of this article, Square Enix has not released any details regarding the game save for launching an E3 2015 trailer right here on YouTube. The video indicates that more information will come this winter, so stay tuned.
