The opening act of Final Fantasy 7 takes place entirely in the city of Midgar and, fittingly, so does Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Once players leave Midgar an incredible world opens up to them. Final Fantasy 7 players will likely fondly recall visiting Kalm, The Gold Saucer, Cosmo Canyon, Nibelheim, The City of Ancients, and other key areas. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth doesn’t have to revisit these areas, but it plans to nevertheless....

Of course, this title was only the first part of the experience. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is proving to be a massive project, splitting up the original experience across multiple parts to spread out the scope of such an ambitious project.

The Tokyo Game Show may have ended almost two weeks ago, but Square Enix still had a surprise for fans this week by releasing previously TGS-exclusive footage showcasing the new game’s take on the fight with the giant beast Abzu.

Square Enix appears to be following the same blueprint that characterized the warmly-received Final Fantasy VII ports, as the JRPG giant has promised to update Final Fantasy IX with graphical improvements and modern game features like auto-save and high-speed mode.

Purely speculative, but there seems to be a trend at Square Enix developing in how it is handling Final Fantasy both literally and spiritually. Since Final Fantasy 15 and its earlier incarnation, Versus 13, the mainline entries have started skewing towards action game fans. Spin-off titles like the recently announced Project Triangle Strategy and Bravely Default 2 carry on from Final Fantasy’s roots while still innovating on the turn-based formula....

While Final Fantasy 16 was never given an official release window, a recent post from producer Naoki Yoshida revealed that the game has been internally delayed by roughly six months, leading to a major shift in when the team expects the game to be ready.

Today, Jason Schreier, a well respected news editor at Kotaku, indicated on Twitter that he had asked Yoshinori Kitase, the producer behind Final Fantasy 7 Remake, about how many games the remake will consist of when it is complete. Kitase responded with the suggestion that he could not answer this type of question due to one very specific reason, saying “we don’t know ourselves.” Indeed, while progress is certainly being made on the first part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, what the future holds for the game in full does not seem to be so clear....

Standing at 10 inches tall, the main baddie of Final Fantasy 7 not only comes draped in his iconic black coat with silver pauldrons, but also Sephiroth comes with several other accessories.
