Report: Final Fantasy 7 Remake File Size and Intro Leaked, Demo Now Playable on Devkits

New leaks mention the Final Fantasy 7 Remake file size, and we even get a leak of the unannounced demo intro available now too. Not only that, but confirmation that the demo is now playable on devkits.

73gb

So the game is 73gb and may span 2 discs but people were worried the game was episodic and somehow not a full game at launch?

Make no mistake, FFVII Remake will be a full game when it releases, but the story and world have been expanded and will be told through multiple iterations that will essentially act as sequels aka new AAA releases years later.

Doge1597d ago

...You just described what the game is while saying it isn’t.

Exvalos1596d ago

Think mass effect, each entry was it's own stand alone game but all 3 together made for one over arching epic adventure. That's what square enix is going for.

Teflon021596d ago

just because a story will expand across multiple games doesn't mean nots NOT a full release. They're expanding the game to the point the midgar section is its own game. That's fine by me honestly. No issue at all. Only people crying don't understand how unrealistic what they're asking is. Unless you want a carbon copy. Which you can just get mods on pc for since the game can run on a onion lol

And where's you evidence to support this claim? Cause last thing they stated was that it would in fact be episodic, they have yet to say otherwise. Still referring to it as episodic as late as june 11th of this year.

That doesn't mean each episode shouldn't be considered a "full game".

TakashiKomuro1597d ago (Edited 1597d ago )

Every episode is a full game, probably more than a full game. Most games are 10-15 hours worth. Expecting this to be 25+ per episode.

And yeah, every episode is it's own game just like every Star Wars is it's own movie.

thejigisup1596d ago

Sounds like komuro-san have watched the clone wars

And you already know that SONY will sign a 1 year exclusive deal with Square Enix for EACH part of FFVII Remake

deadfrag1597d ago (Edited 1597d ago )

So like you say.....its not the full game! The fact thats 70gb+ dont mean nothing.....does 70gb most likely are due to 4k textures for future PS5 backwards.

I really want a demo for this

excaliburps1597d ago

And it seems we're getting one! From the leaks, I'd say we're getting it in January, too! :D

FinalAeonX1597d ago (Edited 1597d ago )

Spoilers

Damn. Feels like a historic moment.

That intro sequence gave me goosebumps. They managed to put in the one winged angel motif in the opening somehow. Why they gotta do Aerith dirty like that? Why is everyone so mean to her T_T.

FinalAeonX1597d ago (Edited 1597d ago )

It's been a long time coming. The reunion is soon at hand. FFVII fans tread carefully. Not for the faint of heart.

FinalAeonX1597d ago (Edited 1597d ago )

Won't be playing the demo. It's gonna spoil too much and have already been spoiled too much watching this. The demo is the full bombing mission - infiltration, boss fight and escape. I'd rather go in fresh.

Fraggle19871597d ago

The ff7 intro is just incredible. Still probably the best intro to a game ever.

FinalAeonX1597d ago

Agreed. Gets straight to action! Gets you pumped while setting the scene and story simultaneously!

GOULDYBOBS1596d ago

I'm probably swayed by nostalgia but the sound track is what makes it for me

Dwarrior1597d ago

I hope this nostalgia trip isn't being done in place of FFXVI. They messed up XV pretty bad, and I'd like to see them correct their course.

FinalAeonX1597d ago (Edited 1597d ago )

Heck no. This has been in production since 2014. FFXV wasn't even finished then. FFXVI wasn't even a thought to them at that point.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Understands That A Tonberry Is The Scariest Thing In The World

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Hofstaderman10d ago

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda9d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5236d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5236d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212136d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan36d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5235d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5235d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Barlos36d ago

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani35d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum36d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman36d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim36d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

I disagree Batman
