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 do wonder how much of an uptick in sales the first two games will receive once the third is done.
