Crazy that splitting a medium-length game into 3 massive parts isn’t the right way to remake a game 🙄 is there anyone that hasn’t lost interest by now?
Yeah, I was decently interested in it until I found out the whole game won’t actually exist for years. Maybe I’ll get the bundle at a deep discount 8 years from now, assuming I even remember it exists.
Same, I was hella excited for this remake. FF7 was a mind-blowing experience for me as a child. But I want to play through the whole story and I had forgotten for years that this game existed until seeing this post.
Unfortunately you need to forget about it for another number of years. As only two of the three parts are out. Part two took them four years after part one, so safe to guess the same for part three.
Also, the names are exceedingly confusing:
-
FF7 Part 1 is named: Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020)
-
FF7 Part 1 Enhanced is named: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (2021)
-
FF7 Part 2 is named: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2024)
If their goal is to get people to completely check out due to long, long release schedules and confusing naming, they are succeeding.
Part 2 may as well not be out. I’ve forgotten its existence and will continue to do so until it’s on PC. Like any other game. Fuck your exclusivity.

I for one am glad they did it. It’s breathed so much more life into the world in doing so. OG is a great game but I’ve been enjoying the remakes way more. And FFVII OG is my favourite RPG and one of the first games I ever played, I used to replay it every other year.
Square’s expectations are the issue here. I don’t think I’ve ever heard them say they hit their sales projections on any game in the last 15 years. And they released some decent games in that time. They just always have insanely over inflated expectations.
Both great games but held back by their launch platform.
FF16 and FF7 are the only PS5 exclusives I would consider, but two games aren’t enough to buy a new generation - one that’s almost over even. Maybe release some graphically worse PS4 versions like almost everyone else? Oh, and PC ports of course if they haven’t.
16 and FF7 part 1 are on PC.
This is the correctest answer. I know sooo many people who still got their PS4 and refuse to buy a PS5 for 1 or 2 games they are interested in.
Something tells me that platform exclusivity is a major factor. And yet, they keep doing it.
Maybe they should try making a Final Fantasy game again.
I was excited for the remake until I learned that it ends before the end of disc 1. I’m also not buying a new console to play the second third of a remake of a game I’ve already beaten.
