I remember when the FF7 remake came out— i’m confused about the subsequent remake versions that came out after it? Not mad or anything— i just don’t have context abt it is all. Is there more content? Expanded storylines?
Super excited to see Crisis Core get remastered tho. Lots of fond memories!
The remake series has always been planned as a trilogy, and the first game in the series released on everything. But the very next game was made exclusive to PlayStation. This was, apparently, by design. The idea was to bring a bunch of players into the series, then switch to an exclusive to try and help push PS5's.
As someone who got the first game on PC, I feel this was a stupid move. I'm not going to get the subsequent games on a different platform. Your save carries through the games; I want the next one on the platform I already played the first one on.
Awh jeeze :( That sucks that they made the next one an exclusive. I hope it’ll be a timed exclusive— it’s awful that you can’t play w your existing save.
I have fond memories of watching my older brother play through the OG on his PC when I was a tween. Still can’t get the chocobo theme out of my head!
Thanks for taking the time to answer :) Happy New Year!
It's a trilogy, remake was part 1 focused on the Midgar part at the beginning, rebirth is part 2 and goes to the end of OG disk 1, part 3 is expected probably in 2027. Crisis Core Reunion is already out.
Thank you so much for the explanation!! I appreciate it :) Makes much more sense now. Happy new year!
The story is expanded quite a bit, incorporating things from the Final Fantasy 7 side games, and, without getting too spoilery, there are changes to the story that are noticed in-universe.
Gotcha! Looks like i’ll have to take a swing at playing it then. Thank you for taking the time to answer! Happy New Years :)
