There it is.

 

[Aranea]

No surprise here. Square Enix said this would be a timed exclusive many years ago when the first trailer dropped.

 

[brap]

Not surprised. Have to make as much money as possible with this. Look forward to it on every platform.

 

[Coflash]

...at which point it becomes a PS5 enhanced exclusive!

Yep, it’s all about the dolla’s honey sweet child.

 

[jshackles]

But no mention of it only being the first 1/3rd of the original game

 

[Pallas]

3/3/21? I wonder if that’s the real date.

 

[Mochilador]

It would be really shitty if the game ended after leaving Midgard.

It’s SE. expect the worst lol

 

[ULTROS!]

In b4 "Switch version pls"

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Kinda weird it straight up says that on the box, with a date and all. Are there other games that explicitly have the date the game goes multiplatform on the front cover?

I think this is the first one lol

 

[Fake]

Normally the boxart show the exclusive date limit?

 

[Hayabusabruh]

A lot of people are saying "we already knew this", but didn't Sqaure say something like they have no plans to release it on other consoles?

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Will this be a rise of the tomb raider senario when it launched a year later on the PS4, they got the WHOLE PACKAGE. I'm hoping so for the full release on Xbox in 21. If it's episodic, I'll skip it till they release the full game In a few years.

I read somewhere that Sony tried to secure it as a full exclusive but apparently it fell through.

Adam Boyes during the E3 reveal trailer confirmed it was "coming first to PS4", so we've known that it's been exclusive.

 

[Aggelos]

Oh yeah. Let's go.

 

[badblue]

It would be really shitty if the game ended after leaving Midgard.

Square Enix has confirmed that the first part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be a full-sized game of its own, which means it's building out what was originally a few hours of content into dozens.

The first part of the game could be 30 hours. I wouldn't consider that to be shitty. Unless the game sucks.

Have they confirmed how many parts it will be? I'm assuming 3, but I was really hopeful it would be 2.

 

[EDMIX]

Very, very good find. I haven't seen this done before, but clearly it has been

 

[Drell]

Hope it will be on PC and not just XBox.

As far as I know, they haven't said shit.

At this rate, we might not know until the review embargo lifts which will probably be a day or two before release.

FF15 came to pc, this will too. SE likes

Really conflicted about this one. I think it will be amazing, but I also think it's going to be shit. I hope they don't pad it too much with random stuff.

Yes but it came a while after the consoles version. I guess KH3 will also come to PC eventually but in both cases, it shows SE like to delay their PC ports.

Agreed. Why would they not? Square ports mots titles and seeks to bank, so them putting on PC is default. They have with too many games to really question it imho

Drell and? Your comment was hoping it would come to PC, not when. We all know it will be after the fact as clearly FFVII remake is not day and date with PC so its just a moot point.

They come after the fact sure, but they still come to PC. The original FFVII is on PC, so I don't now if using Kingdom Hearts is a good example. All you need to know is the main FF series come to PC even if years later and FFVII remake doesn't sound like it would be any different. If anything, with XONE selling so poorly and next gen around the corner, XONE would be more questionable if it will ever actually get this title, I see it likely coming to the next XB vs XONE... Remember its a few titles that are releasing so it clearly must be on the same systems

Hopefully they port it at the same time.

 

[Vlaphor]

I have no problem waiting for the eventual PC version. To be honest, I wasn't really clamoring for a remake anyway, so I don't mind waiting.

It looks really neat, but I might even be fine waiting till the full thing releases.

 

[teh_pwn]

I won't be able to resist. PS4 Pro day 1, and PC day 366.

It's not just the money but with everything except switch running on x86 why the fuck wouldn't you port if the sales are guaranteed to be 500k+.

That too

 

[Pantz]

Wonder if part 2 will be exclusive to 2022 and so on

 

[Mista]

We have known this before. A solid confirmation now

 

[Ikutachi]

Don't care for time sensitive stuff.

 

[Kagey K]

Nice to see some transparency for once. So tired of the “We aren‘t talking about other version at this time, right now this is the only game that exists” shit that has plagued this generation.

 

[its_Ditz]

[Gavin Stevens]

3/3/21?! That’s a fucking joke of a wait, a full year? Ok.

 

[Kagey K]

3/3/21?! That’s a fucking joke of a wait, a full year? Ok.

A year is one of the normal times. 1 month, 3 months 6 months, a year.

I see it as an advantage since a year after the PS4 launch other systems will be out, and they may have enhanced it. Getting it on Scarlett might be worth the wait and the big backfire on them releasing it on PS4.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Nah, I’ll be buying it for ps4, already got a pro money saved aside JUST for this as I don’t want to use my launch ps4, it wouldn’t be fair.

But I know I’m getting the worst experience, and that’s shite. I was expecting 6 months, tops.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Don't care about this half-assed crap.

Wake me when the game is complete. If our species still rules the surface world, that is.

 

[mejin]

A year is a lot of time. Sony probably paid them big.

Till the game launch to the rest, PS version will be dirt cheap.

 

[Flintty]

Obvious it was going to be the case but happy to see confirmation. Scarlet version for me then!

 

[FranXico]

Nice to see some transparency for once. So tired of the “We aren‘t talking about other version at this time, right now this is the only game that exists” shit that has plagued this generation.

PLAY IT FIRST ON PLAYSTATION

The transparency was there since the reveal.

Getting it on Scarlett might be worth the wait and the big backfire on them releasing it on PS4.

"Big backfire" LOL.

 

[Birdo]

This is one of those situations where late adopters may actually benefit.

I know I'm waiting for the whole series before I play. So I'll be starting in 2035.

 

[Myths]

There it is.

this is it

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Yeah look let’s not be stupid here, it’s going to look amazing on X or next gen systems but... if you don’t think this will make bank on ps4, you’re crazy. This shits going to be a million seller before it’s even released.

 

[Vawn]

This is a day one game, so whatever platform is first is a that matters to me.

Especially when that date is WAY off. March 2021? So a full year?

 

[royox]

Except for Switch, probably

Don't think switch can run this without a massive downgrade that would make the whole remake concept pointless.
