original
Final Fantasy VII game’s epic and occasionally bewildering story, and it relies heavily on an intimate knowledge of its twists and turns.
Final Fantasy VII Remake, by contrast, gives you a mere fraction of the saga.
For example, here’s apparently a wholly accurate description of the film’s key plot point from my colleague Nick Statt, and definitely not a series of random words that he typed into Slack:
FFVII Advent Children 4K UHD + Blu-Ray + Digital Pre-orders Open
Final Fantasy VII. Pre-orders opened for the
FFVII Advent Children Complete 4K UHD + Blu-Ray + Digital version. Amazon is already taking orders for the $30.99 movie. No release date is listed for it yet. [Thanks, Wario64!]
FFVII Advent Children first appeared in 2005 and involved many of the people behind the original game. It features a script by Kazushige Nojima and music from Nobuo Uematsu. The former worked on
FFVII, Before Crisis: FFVII, Crisis Core: FFVII and
FFVII Remake, and will be working on the forthcoming
Ever Crisis and
First Soldier. Tetsuya Nomura directed the film, while Yoshinori Kitase and Shinji Hashimoto produced it. It takes place two years after the events of the game and primarily follows Cloud, Tifa, Reno, Rude, Rufus. All five are at odds with the villainous Kadaj and his brothers Loz and Yazoo, who are searching for a remnant of their “mother,” Jenova.

Without a doubt, the biggest announcement out of Sony s latest State of Play event was the free PS5 upgrade coming to Final Fantasy VII Remake, and a new chapter for PS5 players starring Yuffie but that might not be the biggest Final Fantasy news of the day. Square-Enix just quietly announced two more Final Fantasy VII games: a competitive battle royale game, and a second, more nostalgic-focused FF7 remake.
There s a reason they weren t in Sony s State of Play event, however: they re mobile games, destined for Android and iOS devices.
