Can't wait to play it again on PS5 and the Intergrade. Big month for PS5 with this game and Ratchet.

SullysCigar1063d ago

The quality is flowing even earlier in the gen than usual on PS5.

NeoGamer2321063d ago

To be fair, I think the games still have a ways to go before being fully next gen. But, it is very impressive that games that are using the power of the hardware in specific ways are already coming out. Sony has had a really strong showing from first party studios so far.

This game and Tsushima are the two that made me go crazy on the share button.. The faces are soooooo expressive, characters are badass.. Now Yuffie 😘

nitus101062d ago

Unfortunately the FF7 remake for the PS4 is about 90GB (no idea what it would be for the PS5) so you want at least that amount of storage before you play it.

So far PS5 are difficult to come by in Australia (scalpers I extend my middle finger) but even if I can get a PS5 at retail the M.2 storage bay is not active, although it is supposed to be enabled come July this year.

Two months ago the FF7 remake was free in the Asia/Pacific region to all those who had a PS+ account.

AnnaDea1062d ago

It's like 9 gigs smaller than the PS version.

Which makes the game to be at a similar size if you installed Episode Yuffie.

Aussiesummer1062d ago

And that version isn't able to be upgraded to inergrade. Only a purchased copy.

LOGICWINS1063d ago

Gorgeous game! If Sony was smart, they'd pay Square whatever they need to in order to keep this and all future FF games as Playstation/PC exclusives.

neutralgamer19921063d ago

Or how about pay 5 billion for square and all those IP's. I think behind the scenes that's what's going on and we will hear some news this year

Lore1063d ago

So many great games and franchises. Worth the investment. I honestly think they’re either too cheap or they think they can replicate it with their own studios which I don’t believe is the case.

neutralgamer19921063d ago

Lore

I think they will spend on square because they have a really close relationship with SE. When SE ran into problems they asked sony to buy their shares which sony did and than resold them back to square when things turned around. I think Sony will announce 2-3 big acquisitions within next 12-24 months(bluepoint is a done deal so I am not counting that)

LOGICWINS1063d ago

If that happened, then I'd get a PS5 for sure. Microsoft has deeper pockets though. I can't see Sony outbidding Microsoft for Square.

septemberindecember1063d ago

I really don't want any more publishers being purchased tbh. It's great when more people can enjoy these games...not less. As long as the publisher isn't at risk of dying they should remain independent, IMO.

Teflon021063d ago

Logic

While MS could outbid them. It really depends on SE. If they're having talks with Sony behind the scenes it wouldn't matter as they don't need to sell, but it would make sense for SE financially to go under Sony as they blow alot developing and they sell alot better on Sony Generally. Being first party will automatically boost ppls interest in games boosting sales. Also would allow smaller SE titles to gain more attention.

Do I think it'll happen? Nahh. Would be cool since SE generally makes every game available on PlayStation but Octopath

LOGICWINS1063d ago

@Teflon02 Microsoft can simply pay Square to have all of their games available on Game Pass Day 1, while Square still releases those games on Playstation and Switch for $60/$70. Everybody wins.

IF Sony somehow acquires Square, I don't blame them as it's a direct result of Microsoft backing them into a corner. Microsoft getting Bethesda, Obsidian, and Undead Labs made Xbox the premier console for Western RPGs.

Microsoft acquiring Square would be a death sentence for Playstation and I'm sure Jim Ryan is smart enough to realize that. That's why FF16 is a PS5 exclusive.

Mr_Writer851063d ago

@neutralgamer1992

Not gonna happen Sony won't drop 5billion on SE.

I don't think Square wants to be bought or acquired

MetroidFREAK211063d ago

Gonna pick myself up a copy tomorrow

Popsicle1063d ago

My bones are ready for the upgrade. Love this game!

Paleblood1063d ago

One of my favorite games of last Gen. It would be a pleasure to play it again with all the goodies.

CrimsonWing691063d ago

I am so excited to return to this game.

Paleblood1063d ago

I want to return to Tifa 😂

Final Fantasy VII Remake Cutscenes Changed With New Patch, Comparison Inside

A new patch for Square Enix's action role-playing game, Final Fantasy VII Remake, has brought changes to certain cutscenes.

If you can't go without breasts in a cutscene, you need help

Rebel_Scum70d ago

Should’ve ended that sentence with either “you maggot” or “you puke” Sarge

Barlos69d ago

Well bloody hell, I guess I need committing then. Stick me in a padded cell

Eonjay69d ago

People need serious help if you 'need' to stare at a minors breasts. And some of you admitted that so at least we have acknowledgement. Can we not sexualize children? It shouldn't be considered progressive. I think the mass majority of people regardless of political view aren't into to kiddie boobs.

CrimsonWing6969d ago

look, man... why support censorship in any way? Forget the cleavage, it's the principle. Do you like owning the cable television edited version of a movie or do you want the original R-rated version?

I'd be just as irked by this if WB Games put out a patch that censored all the swearing and gore in an MK game. So, regardless of how you feel about boobs being covered up in the game, it's the principle of censorship that gets most people. I couldn't care less if she wore a sports bra from the beginning, what I hate is people covering my eyes and ears like I'm a 5-year old telling me, "This is too inappropriate for you."

So, yea, censorship is dumb as f*ck regardless of the content. Changing something that's already established that nobody made a big deal about, and nobody is getting their rocks off to (let's be real here), all because people get uncomfortable with boobs is dumb, plain and simple.

Like, give me a f*cking break here...

AdonisIsBeast69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

Yea, apparently you’re incapable of comprehending the point of the complaint. As another user mentioned, it’s principal. These are fictional characters in fictional worlds, it gives most people no pleasure see “the cleavage” as used in this example. The entire point is that we are all getting sick and tired of these fake and unnecessary DEI and ethics departments censoring media simply for the sake of it. Unless theres nudity, they should leave it alone.

Babadook769d ago (Edited 69d ago )

I prefer the before, but I won’t make a mountain out of a molehill. (No pun intended)

CobraKai69d ago

It’s about the needless censorship.

andy8570d ago

I mean she is portrayed as being 15 in the scene. I don't really consider it woke to cover up a child (begs questions why they did it in the first place though).

Rocketisleague69d ago

In the original nomura was going nuts with child panty references and such. Look it up

k2d69d ago

Devil's advocate here.. who's doing the objectification here though? How would progressives react if teenagers where asked to not show skin and cover up their feminine traits? No bare shoulders. No hair. No make-up etc.. 20-30 years ago the main stream tune was the complete opposite, and games where under attack from conservatives and we had to defend games from them. Now publishers are pre-emptively chastising and censoring to please left AND right, depending on which region of the world their trying to up ease.

dmonee68d ago

Alot of Japanese animation, cartoons, video games, are SuS, when it comes to sexual exploitation lol.

Gamingsince198169d ago

She's not anything , she's not a real person, she was never born, they could make her nude and no harm would be done to anything but the minds of people that can't tell real life from video games.

OMGitzThatGuy69d ago

Black rock is against sexualizing minors? Those demons!

AdonisIsBeast69d ago

Actually they’re FOR exploiting children and promoting puberty blockers and life altering hormone treatment for minors. Do your research

qalpha69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

BlackRock is apparently FOR sexualizing minors. They (along with Disney) were vehemently against the Florida parental rights bill (better known as the 'don't sexualize young elementary kids' bill).

banger8870d ago

"It’s unclear why Square Enix opted to make this change around 4 years after the game’s release."

Because some progressive, blue-haired freak started quivering uncontrollably and frothing at the mouth?

CrimsonWing6969d ago (Edited 69d ago )

What’s weird about it? Females wear low cut shirts all the time, do you bust a nut over it? No… well, I’d hope not.

This is a person who has breasts that wore a low cut shirt, the end. It’s not child porn and nobody in hear was fapping to it.

When you go to a mall and some 15 year old has cleavage showing do you run up and throw a bed sheet over her? I mean Geezus you see more with swimsuits…

Our culture is so weird. We have people championing women for doing OnlyFans as such a brave and empowering decision. I see celebrities barely wearing anything on the red carpet exposing their nipples and butt cheeks and everyone is gawking at how amazing the outfit is.

A freaking game has a fake character that in no way looks 15 and in no way is oversexualized, but had a shirt with cleavage in what, a 30 second scene, and suddenly that’s where we draw the line… like what world am I living in?

andy8569d ago

Just personally find it weird. But what is actually weird is the people who are complaining about it. If she was 12 is that suddenly not OK. 10? There's a reason stuff like that isn't shown in media on children. You'll obviously see it in real life but doesn't mean it's right.

gold_drake70d ago

yes and to make it more in line with Rebirth. shes wearing a black undershirt in that game. consistency.

the japanese definetly didnt care if she has one on or not ha.

Barlos69d ago

Sweet Baby Inc is probably the reason

I_am_Batman69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

Seems much more likely that the team simply wanted to prevent perverts from zooming in on the cleavage of a 15-year-old in photo mode. I'm pretty sure the Nibelheim flashbacks in Remake were only a couple seconds with a fixed cutscene camera, so that wasn't much of an issue until Rebirth where this character model is obviously used a lot more.

Maybe you guys should hold your horses until you've played the game and stop jumping to conclusions. I've already got spoiled about a scene that happens later on in the game and it certainly didn't fit your hypothesis of Square bending the knee to oversensitive "progressives" with an allergiy to attractive females.

They wanted to have consistency with the new character model. That basically it.

Why not make the new character model resemble the design of 4 years ago though?

gold_drake70d ago

while i want my games, especially the ff games with alot of lore, to be as accurate in their translation as possible, the english localisation took huge liberties in the first place.

the japanese and german for example are in line with one another. english is not. but yea. its a silly change, the steel sky was a great thing when she said it, but apperantly the original english lip movement was more in line with "i dont like it" than with "the steel sky, i miss it"
