Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that the third game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy will "link up" to Advent Children if you play all the way through to the end.

After multiple rumors emerged for the same, Guerrilla Games has officially confirmed Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition. It launches on October 6th for PS5 and early 2024 for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Check out the announcement trailer below.

Square Enix and Applibot’s free-to-play mobile remake of Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis, launched worldwide earlier this month, and in its early days, the game seems to have enjoyed a great deal of success. In fact, Square Enix has also confirmed that it’ll be bringing the RPG to even more players.

Fans have been pleading for years, hoping that Square Enix would provide a remake of the beloved Final Fantasy VII video game. This title launched back on the original PlayStation. Of course, we now know this remake was finally put into production, but it won’t be a complete experience with just one game. In fact, the first part of the remake has already been published, and you can enjoy it right now. However, if you’ve already played the first game in the remake collection for Final Fantasy VII, your eyes might be set on that next installment, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

After playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for the first time (check out my full impressions here), I then spoke with director Naoki Hamaguchi, producer Yoshinori Kitase, and creative director Tetsuya Nomura to seek answers to some burning questions. That includes how much narrative ground Rebirth covers, the decision behind splitting it between two discs, and if there’s any form of data transfer between Remake and Rebirth.

@kyleforrester87 Seeing you talk about the start of Disc 2 in FF8 reminded me that I recently abandoned a playthrough at the start of Disc 2 for the literal 4th time.

When and whether other versions will come remains unknown.

One of the things that makes Final Fantasy VII Rebirth interesting in the eyes of fans is that the game is building off of what the original “Remake” title did in 2020. We mean they’re not simply remaking the game graphically from top to bottom. Instead, they’re expanding everything that happens in the story and fleshing out moments and characters so that everything feels more robust and meaningful. The trick is that they’re doing this while also changing key moments in the key and rewriting the fates of known characters and their deaths. That “altering” will continue in the sequel.

Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive for a minimum of three months.
