FFVII REMAKE CONFIRMED

[ForceStealer]

I'm certain it'll come to PC eventually, even if there wasn't a firm date at the time

^This. At this point, every Final Fantasy game except I and II are on Steam — that’s any FF that’s had any attention paid to it since 2007. There’s simply no reason not to, the return on investment is undeniable, and long-gone are the console war days (FFVII is now on a Nintendo lol). “Eventually” is the keyword here, as I think they’ll let Intergrade and PS5 have its day in the sun before announcing the Steam version.

I hope that the very latest for a PC announcement would be in a short trailer that precedes a Part II announcement, to give audiences the same kind of hype whiplash they did with WoFF>FF7R and also FF7R-PS5>Episode Yuffie. Worst case scenario they wait until all parts are out (!!!) before packaging it for the PC, but I don’t think we’ll be waiting that long. The FFXV Windows Edition came out a year before Episode Ardyn was released.

How long did it take XIII to get on PC again?

 

[ultima espio]

4 years from the English release.FFX came a year to the day the exclusivity ended.

 

[Lulcielid]

How long did it take XIII to get on PC again?

Over 5 years.

 

[Odysseus]

Well, there's your worst case scenerio then lol.

 

[oty]

I mean, they even put KH in a PC. I mean, remastered PS3 Kingdom Hearts I. It's just too much cash to deny.

Since we didn't get any announcement, I'm betting it will be revealed during Integrade launch or maybe end of the year. I don't think they will release Part II before PC part I. Well, I sincerely hope the fuck not.

[FFShinra]

Honestly, I think that will be EC/FS and FF16.

 

[Eerie]

Yeah I'm betting on FFXVI and also FFXIV extension mostly (on the FF side, that's what seems the most advanced, so what I'm awaiting most). Not hoping for anything haha.

Tifa and Aerith are getting a new novel release soon

[cold_spirit]

Woah, and a third Ultimania? This is getting excessive lol. At least it technically features a new render for the cover. Hopefully Square Enix Books translates the Two Pasts novel at least.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Yeah, the road to Part 2 has truly started.

Short stories will be the most we get to tide us over, because now all efforts will be towards developing a new game. Part 1 is truly done with INTERgrade.

I can't wait to see what this story is about. The last one they did focusing on Aerith's childhood was good so I'm excited.

Woah, a third Ultimania? This is getting excessive lol. At least it technically features a new render for the cover.

It's not a brand new one. It's the same Material Ultimania, however it will come with this story and presumably stuff from INTERgrade.

 

[Theozilla]

I think the Tifa and Aerith novel is a separate release from the updated Ultimania.

 

[cold_spirit]

I agree the Material Ultimania Plus will feature Intergrade content, but it appears to all be separate books. The original Material Ultimania is 336 pages. The product listing for Plus says it'll be 224 pages and Two Pasts will be 288 pages.

Edit: Fixed Material Ultimania page count. Was looking at the wrong Ultimania. There's too many of them!

 

[MelodicEnigma]

Well based on the product description, it'll specifically feature things not included in the first Material Ultimania and such. Rough translate from google:

"A book containing development materials not included in "FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Material Ultimate Mania" released in October 2020. In addition to CG art such as characters, enemies, and locations, the "Voice Recording Script" of an impressive event scene and a scene that seems to be a hint to the next work will be released for the first time with a Q & A interview with [CO Director: Motomu Toriyama]! In addition, various development materials and scenario strategies such as voice-related materials such as "Battle Voice" and "Voice of Townspeople", CG of new episodes with Yuffie as the main character, setting images, storyboards, etc. are recorded. Delivered with luxurious hardcover specifications."

Should be fun! I'm just excited for this new novel. I don't remember if we were told about this before, so it's completely out of no where for me, in a very welcoming way.

 

[Tetsujin]

New novel eh? Time to start prodding publishers to pick it up asap. Get on it, Panini!

 

[Kyo Cobran]

Tifa and Aerith are getting a new novel release soon

I wonder how long they before it's translated into English? Hopefully not 7 years like with The Turk Side Story.

 

[cold_spirit]

Here's the description for Trace of Two Pasts from the product page, ran through Google translate:

No one wanted to hear, no one wanted to talk. Right? listen? listen?

The unknown tracks of the two heroines, Aeris and Tifa, who color the world of FINAL FANTASY VII

Author: Kazushige Nojima

And a higher quality image of the cover:

"Trace of TELEPHONE Two Pasts" is a weird title

 

[Torrie]

Looking at the post-remake novellas, it's the first time I've experienced such mixed feelings about the content they produce. On the one hand, I should be happy that the girls are getting the spotlight they deserve. On the other hand, it feels like... overabundance?

 

[Wol]

The amount of extra material is insane (OSTs, books, etc.).

 

[Shademp]

Hopefully these side-stories will be a standalone and not inhibit the enjoyment of Part 2 and onwards.

Aerith: "Wow, this reminds me of that one thing."
Tifa: "Oh yeah, that thing!"
Cloud: "What thing?"
Aerith: "That one thing from mine and Tifa's Two Pasts novella."
Cloud: "...Care to explain?"
Aerith & Tifa: "No Cloud, you have to buy the novella!"

 

[cold_spirit]

Audrey's translation of the Material Ultimania Plus contents. The "script of a certain scene offering clues to the next installment" is suggestive, especially coupled with Nomura's comment that part 2 will pick up after Intergrade specifically. Just saying look out for spoilers on launch day!
