SQUARE-ENIX confirmed the RE-re-release of Final Fantasy VII on PC today. This comes after original rumours emerged nearly two weeks ago, which showed the domain name registration of FinalFantasyVIIPC.com by the company. Since the official announcement the site has now gone live.
I covered the major new details of the game in a previous post. None of these leaked statements turned out to be incorrect; so achievements, cloud saves and the character booster will all be features of the game. I'm still very sceptical of the character booster, and would urge any new players of FFVII to try their best to ignore this feature, just enjoy the game how it was meant to be played. Pretty please!
The other disappointing piece of news is that the game will not be available on Steam, but instead will be available exclusively on the SQUARE ENIX Store. I can understand the reasons why they have decided to do this, but having achievements for the game that I know barely anyone is going to see is a real shame. I want friends to see that I have beaten ruby and emerald weapon... again! The problem is only a select few of the people I play with will have a SQUARE-ENIX Store account.
Well I guess you can't have it all, but at least this version of FFVII is being optimised for current PCs.
SQUARE-ENIX have also released a new trailer, just to get you in the mood. It actually gave me goosebumps. Just try to ignore the typical awful voice over that could otherwise ruin the amazing music of Nobuo Uematsu that is featured in the trailer.
I'm so looking forward to playing FFVII again, and I hope all of you that never had the chance to experience it until now give it a go.
