??? I can’t keep up with all this. Just release one remake lol
It’s a remake of a game from 1997, being released in 3 separate games/installments. This is the 3rd and final installment/game, releasing in Spring of 2027.
Yeah, it’s not that complicated.
It is because they started a naming convention («Remake: Episode 1») and then screwed it up along the line. Also the original project forecasted more than 3 chapters.
Also worth noting, it’s much longer than the 1997 game.
I played and beat the original on PS1. I bought FF7 Remake on Xbox, and it came with the OG FF7. After beating Remake, I went back to the OG. I did everything Remake got from the OG in like 2 hours. I think I put 30 hours into Remake? I mean, if you haven’t played the OG or you haven’t played it in a while, you might have forgotten how easy it is to get to Shinra and escape wtih Aerith and Red XIII. Remake added so much. Was it necessary? I dunno. I really didn’t like Remake and I haven’t bought Rebirth yet. I’m not planning on it, but I may eventually. But I don’t have a problem with how they’re doing it.
I recommend trying the demo for Rebirth. I enjoyed it much more than Remake. Combat is expanded/improved. One of Remake’s issues was a lot of the optional content/side quests weren’t very fun. Rebirth has a lot of optional content, and IMO most of it is fun.
The gist is that it’s a trilogy (Remake, Rebirth, Revelation), and there are some spinoffs.
It was officially confirmed as a trilogy about 4 years ago, and unofficially known as a trilogy for a couple years before that. Revelation is the final installment.
Remake and Rebirth are awesome, and you should play them.
They also remade (or “remastered”, whatever) the 2007 PSP spinoff/prequel, Crisis Core, a few years ago for PS5. It’s okay, but not great. Worth playing if you’re really into the series, otherwise skip.
Then there’s a mobile game called Ever Crisis, which sucks like only mobile games can. If you really want to catch up on obscure side stories, just read the wiki. It’s way more fun.
A faithful remake without all the timeline bullshit and complete character assassinations would be great.
Until then I’ll keep ignoring that this garbage exists.
I just want a Chocobo farm
OK now that this dumpster fire of a story is coming to an end can we finally just get the real FF7 with better graphics? That’s all we wanted man not kingdom hearts wearing the skin of FF7.
Just one game on one disc. The same story as the original. No time travel bs. No extra shit. Option between turn-based and action combat (Maybe something like Clair Obscur?) Just do a normal remake. It looks great and the combat is fun but literally everything else about this remake has been a garbage fire
I hope we get less of Chadley this time around. He’s so insufferable
Me too, but given some scenes in Rebirth, I expect we will still see him quite a bit. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is involved in introducing/progressing unlocks in the new FITS system.
