Final Fantasy VII Remake is a bold reimagining of the original Final Fantasy VII, originally released in 1997, developed under the guidance of the original key developers.
This critically-acclaimed game, which mixes traditional command-based combat and real-time action, makes its Steam debut along with FF7R EPISODE INTERmission—a new story arc featuring Yuffie Kisaragi.
Story
By exploiting mako, the life-blood of the planet, through their mako reactors, the Shinra Electric Power Company has all but seized control of the entire world. A ragtag group of idealists, known as Avalanche, are one of the last bastions of resistance.
Cloud, an elite SOLDIER operative-turned-mercenary takes part in an Avalanche operation to destroy Mako Reactor 1 in the city of Midgar.
The bombing plunges the city into fiery chaos, and Cloud is tormented by visions of a bitter enemy long thought dead.
Once more begins a story that will shape the destiny of an entire world.
* This game is a remake of FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997.
The first title in a multi-part series, it is based on the story from the original game, up to the escape from Midgar, adding in new elements.

Makes sense since it expired the time limited exclusivity on PC.
Finally, thanks Square. a little steep on the price but better late than never.
Fantastic now when will it release on Xbox? XD
never. just play it on PC if you really want it.
Nice! I hope Square actually fixed the PC port over the past 6 months though. And better not charge no $70!
Don't worry, they will charge $69.99
Oh praise our Square overlords for being so merciful as to temporarily drop the price for 2 weeks......
Bought the game, Square still hasn't fixed any of the issues, refunded.
Not much more compatible when the existing graphics options on the PC port are by far the most barebones I've ever seen...
Also £50 is not a great price, after 2 yrs.
It's still $60 on the PlayStation store so why not
Because time doesn't stand still for no one, not even SE.
They don't have to drop the price if they think the game is gonna sell well. Not every games drop in price with time
And yet many others provide good discounts for old ports, save for SE and Nintendo, who seemingly stand alone in the "charge high for old content" approach.
The only time a high price isn't tempered by time, are old artefacts and memorabilia, like the Violin from the Titanic, which was auctioned off for 1.5m, time aged that and made it worth that much, but a video game, let alone a remake does not get to share that same value, let alone it being digital.
plenty of games prices drop with time, games like L4D1-2 for example dropped their once premium price to a baseline cheaper price over time.
It's why I just wait for discounts these days, as no game is ever really worth full price to me anymore. When I was a kid I didn't see pricing as an issue, but when you've got bills to pay and such, it all adds up over time, and paying £70 a pop for a game is just getting silly.
I'm aware that back in the 80/90's there were games that went upwards of £100, but looking back on that, it's just as mad as today where SE is trying to sell you part 1 of a 3 part game, based on an already existing game from 20yrs ago, for £70 a pop... Like the OG game didn't cost me £210, but VIIR would if I were to buy all 3 parts.
£50 is roughly the same as $60 so both are a raw deal. Conversely, I can find a second physical edition for £18 PS4 and £28 PS5 at CEX.
Epic Games Store moneyhats a lot of games for timed or permanent PC store exclusivity. Looks like FFVII they paid for 6 months. Kingdom Hearts has only been on Epic Store since March 2021, so Epic may have paid for permanent exclusivity for that franchise.
