The Final Fantasy VII remake was first released on PlayStation 4 in April last year. The game is based on the famous original video game “Final Fantasy VII”, which was released in 1997 and was the first game in a multi-part series. Sory-wise this is the first in a multi-part series and it is based on the original story with new elements and an all-the-way escape from Midgar. In fact, they only need to wait a few days, because Square Enix announced at The Game Awards that the game will be available on the Epic Games Store. Although the sequel is still a few years away, we don’t know if it will be cross-platform or Sony exclusive again, but Square Enix may not want to cannibalize the sequel by releasing the port at the same time.

If we want to present the best scenes for PC gamers, then the second part of the remake will be released at the same time as the original PC version in 2021, and we will get the complete game through digital download instead of splitting. The reasons for this include their focus on new games, and the need to make their remakes manageable, and the complexity of modern hardware development and time for the development that will be needed. In both cases, Square denied that it was developing any remakes.
Square Enix and Epic Games Japan cooperated to optimize the Remake engine. Square Enix did not build a new engine but authorized Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4 to develop the game. With this in mind, they decided to perform a complete remake, rebuild the game system to suit modern tastes, and use modern game technology to recreate the world.
