Many interesting announcements were made at the PlayStation Experience event in Las Vegas. Square Enix confirmed that its popular Final Fantasy 7 title is coming to Sony’s new gaming console. That’s right, Square Enix has confirmed Final Fantasy 7 release for PlayStation 4. Though don’t expect it to be a remastered version of the title. It is merely a port of the version that has already been available on the PC for quite some time now.
So really what you’re getting on the PlayStation 4 is the same game that has been around on the PC. Square Enix confirmed that this isn’t a remastered version so any hopes that you might have held on to for better graphics have been blown to bits.
As far as the release date is concerned, a concrete date has not been provided as yet. Square Enix has only said that gamers will be able to purchase this title on the PlayStation 4 in spring 2015. Hopefully we will get to hear about the formal release date a few weeks down the line.
Some believe that this is ultimate trolling by Square Enix, and I wouldn’t quite disagree. No amount of sugar coating can conceal the fact that Final Fantasy 7 for PlayStation 4 is simple the PC version that gamers will have to purchase once again just to play it on the console.
