SaGa Emerald Beyond ‘Let’s Play with the Developers! Vol. 1’

In the days that followed after the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, some of the staff at Square Enix talked about the challenges that went into creating a massive project that could live up to players' expectations. Despite Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releasing nearly four years after Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the developers expressed the concerns they had about putting it together.

RPG Maker is a franchise that's largely steered clear of PlayStation consoles, but that trend is set to change with the release of RPG Maker WITH. Published by NIS America, it's headed to PC and Switch at some point in the autumn / fall, while PS5 and PS4 versions are locked in for 2025.

Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida has said that, while there is the possibility of more DLC being made for the game, players shouldn’t expect more any time soon. Final Fantasy 16 is currently gearing up for the release of its second DLC, The Rising Tide. When asked if Square Enix was interested in releasing more DLC for the title, Yoshida, while not definitively shutting down the possibility, did say that it’s unlikely.

Square Enix has released new information and screenshots for SaGa Emerald Beyond introducing Siugnas, an immortal vampire and the Dismal King who rules Yomi, and one of the game’s six protagonists.

Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia has released a five-minute PlayStation lineup video directed dubbed “Play Goes On,” which introduces 17 PlayStation titles to a song by Genki Rockets featuring Aimer.

As per the latest weekly software and hardware sales data for Japan released by Famitsu, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has debuted on top of newest Japanese charts, which should surprise no one. The widely acclaimed action RPG sold over 262,000 physical units in Japan on debut, but while that may seem like an impressive number on isolation, it’s actually surprisingly low by Final Fantasy standards.

Square Enix has released a new trailer for SaGa Emerald Beyond introducing Siugnas, one of the game’s six protagonists.

The yet-untitled third installment in the Final Fantasy Remake series will remain exclusive to PlayStation consoles. After years of rumors, speculation, and hope from legions of fans, Square Enix finally released the first chapter of its modern reimagining of Final Fantasy 7 in 2020. Final Fantasy 7 Remake only told a fraction of the original’s plot, with the recently-released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth continuing from when Cloud and the party leave Midgar until the fateful trip to the Forgotten Capital at the end of the old FF7’s second disk.

Sony has confirmed it's struck a deal with publisher Square Enix to make the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy a PlayStation console exclusive.

Four years on from its launch, Final Fantasy 7 Remake remains a PlayStation console exclusive, and last week, its sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth also launched as an exclusive for PS5. Unsurprisingly, it’s been reported by The Washington Post that the entire remake trilogy is going to be exclusive to PlayStation consoles.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake project trilogy will be console-exclusive to PlayStation, according to Sony Interactive Entertainment vice president of second- and third-party content ventures and strategic initiatives Christian Svensson.
