#FFnews So I heard you like Final Fantasy VII ....

Final Fantasy VII Remake was a huge success! So expect a ton more Final Fantasy VII -specifically.

First up going from PS4 to PS5, FF7R is getting a Yuffie DLC. I ADORE Yuffie, but I'm not too interested in getting some side-character DLC chapter. I loved FFXV and didn't bother with any of the DLC as well.

I kinda find it funny how a secret unlockable character in the original game is now treated as a DLC. I wonder if having played this DLC will be required to get her in the party in the later game (episodes)...

The game is still looking amazing, though.

 

Meanwhile mobiles will get their share of FF7 with this chibi edition, just like Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition. I guess Square will want to get some FF7 love to the Switch, eventually they're no doubt going to port this mobile game to the Switch like they did with 15 Pocket... 

It's interesting how we've come full circle. Want a remake of FF7 closer to the original, both in terms of visual (chibi characters) and RPG mechanics (no action fights, turn based)? Well, then Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is for you!

I like how this might actually remake a "Demake" update of the entire "Compilation of FF7", meaning covering even elements from Before Crisis and Dirge of Cerberus! 

Finally there's also some random battle royale game set in Midgar before the events of FFVII due for iOS and Android, but this just looks plain bad...

Square. Capcom. All the other big companies. Stop trying to cash in on the battle royale genre by mistreating your classic IPs. They will never ever get the same success as smaller-scale battle royal original games. You can't turn Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, etc. into the next Fortnite, it's never happening...
