Final Fantasy VII Remake
Of the games on this list, Sony fans are likely the most apprehensive of this one. Final Fantasy has changed a lot in the two decades since Final Fantasy VII’s release, and it remains to be seen if they can recapture the magic. A lot of time has passed, and so much has happened in this industry.
We know so very little about this game, and its hard not to be concerned. Officially announced back in 2015, we have heard nothing of substance, the only evidence the game is even alive is a single CGI trailer that was released in 2017, plus a smattering of leaked pictures.
The game was originally being developed by CyberConnect2, best know for their Naruto and .hack games. The game was also meant to be released episodically, to get the games out the door quicker.
Since then, due to concerns over the quality of the product being produced, Square Enix has moved development in house. If you are anything like me, none of this sounds comforting.
And we don’t really know much else. It’s an action game, and I would imagine combat is something along the lines of Final Fantasy XV, or possibly even like the Kingdom Hearts series.
We are fast approaching E3, and we are long overdue for an update. I really hope this one comes together, but I have tempered my expectations. After all, we will always have the original, no matter how Remake turns out.
