Fans have been eagerly waiting for the release of "Final Fantasy 7 Remake," and while there is no much detail so far, a few key points have surfaced online. Some of the information revealed so far is mere rumor and should be taken with a pinch of salt.
The game has been a source of disillusionment for many fans. "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" was supposed to have new footage during the 2016 Game Developers Conference, something that did not happen. As a result, gamers have no option but to speculate.
During the GDC 2016 event, a new video from Unreal Engine was displayed, which highlighted many new games that are now running on the game engine. The displayed games included some of the big titles such as "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" and "Kingdom Hearts 3."
There were rumors that the upcoming game will be launched in several chapters since it is somehow large to fit in a single disc, according to iDigital Times. It is likely that "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" will have three discs, although there is no specific information on the release date of each disc. Therefore, fans should be patient to get official confirmation from the game developer on the number of discs that the game will be launched.
Game producer Yoshinori Kitase spoke in a blog post later in 2015 via Polygon that the development team has a chance with the upcoming game to go beyond not only the story, but also the world and experience. The game will be released in episodes to allow for expansion of the original story.
Kitase said, "With 'Final Fantasy VII Remake,' we have the opportunity to go beyond the story, world, and experience of 'Final Fantasy VII' in ways we've always dreamed of - from the depths of Midgar to the skies above the Planet. The multi-part format enables us to expand the original story and turn it into an epic experience for fans and new gamers alike."
Meanwhile, it is official that "Final Fantasy XV" will be launched by Sept. 30 this year. Square Enix revealed that the title may be many years late, but it will be released with grand colors for those who have been patient throughout the development stage.
