Final Fantasy VII Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi has reconfirmed to Automaton Media that Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 will be a multiplatform release and has moved to assure fans that both the graphical quality and the overall presentation of the long-awaited third part of the trilogy won’t be affected. There were concerns from some fans of the franchise online that the overall graphical quality would be affected by the move to Nintendo Switch 2, but Hamaguchi said the game will firstly be developed for high-end PC’s and then be optimised down for each platform. He also said that development of the game is in the the “final push” and will have more to share at a later date.
“Both the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox versions have been incredibly well received and generated a lot of buzz online, and that attention has also made me realize how many people are worried about this issue. However, our decision to go multiplatform with the FFVII Remake series will not in any way lower the quality of the third installment.”
At launch? If so like Nate said my question is what happened? I thought Sony funded this and part of the deal is exclusivity did they renegotiate or was it a weird deal for only 2 games out of 3?
Simple: Square is in financial troubles and they can’t afford to keep their most successful franchise on a single console anymore, even as a timed exclusive.
No not simple Sony paid for it that’s the question what did Square to get out the deal or did Sony only pay for 2 out of 3 which is weird. The remake was exclusive because Sony helped fund it the whole reason it happened and to an extent Epic since the first game was timed exclusive EGS on PC
I don’t think they get a big boost in sales like they hope the people who bought it will still buy it but now less. Before they bought it twice on PS5 because it released first on that, then again on Steam for the best looking version now many of those people will buy it only on Steam. Xbox no one really there and I have to wonder how many buying the Switch 2 Remake port bought the game already and would they triple dip or quadruple dip? I think it will be around the same as remake or less when it launched.
Before the rage baiter gets here and says I need to get a better taste in games and the games going to flop, I just want to say I think the games are great, but are some of the least faithful remakes I have ever played. I am not very mad at that, but kind of annoyed.
But this news is great! I am happy to see the development team care so much for their multiplatform effort.
It’s because they aren’t remakes. They are a sequel to the OG FFVII. “Remake” is only the title of the first game, not what the games are intended as.
That’s what confuses and intimidates newcomers. Some who tried Remake seemed to be confused and didn’t come back for Rebirth or assumed it was a PS5 rerelease
Oh, I didn’t know that. Now that makes more sense.
Yeah Rebirth did flop and most assume less will buy this at launch. It’s going to be interesting seeing how multiplatform helps this or hurts it given many bought it twice gevause timed exclusivity on PS5 but now many will buy it on 1 platform especially PC over console.
Cool. If it does a simultaneous release I’ll probably get the Switch 2 version. I’ll take the portability over the 60fps. Replaying Remake now on Switch 2 (picked it up last week when I got Mario Tennis Fever) and greatly enjoying the port!
I can’t see how people think it looks goin the PS5 version looks and runs better
I don’t understand your sentence. You may have had a typo 😭. Honestly I don’t even own a 4k tv, so aside from increased frame rate, it’ll likely look the same. I’d take 30fps if it means I can play in bed or on trips (which I go on often). But to each their own
Great news. It will sell tons.
Rebirth flopped this will replicate that to an extent maybe slight boost from multiplat but knowing Square they expect bigger numbers because of that and 2 million won’t cut it.
Rebirth sold fine. So will this.
I haven’t played the games and I won’t venture to play them until all the parts are out and I’m able to have them all and play them at my own pace. But I have seen how the second part ended and what I’m most curious about is if they’re going to change that pivotal part of the story. I really hope they don’t but the way they’re going who knows. I think they left what happens to Aerith purposely confusing so it could go either way. But I think if they change that it could be very diversive. Time will tell.
