Meanwhile, changes are being made to Shinra HQ as well. “Upper Junon feels very much more like a military installation than Midgar as well.”

“Cosmo Canyon and its occasional dust storms are a stark contract to the streets of Midgar,” states the Reddit thread compiling the leak’s information. It will be treated as an open world environment, and will include roads for travel, while other methods of transportation, such as Chocobos and the Tiny Bronco, will also be available.Īs per the leak, Square Enix has also put in considerable effort to make each town feel different from each other, and to make them all feel lived in. Though it will have zones, it will be a seamless environment, with items appearing on the field for collection as always.

In terms of the world and the world design, the overworld will be returning- of course. You can ignore them up until a certain point, but eventually they become mandatory recruitments, while Yuffie automatically joins up if you haven’t gotten her before Rocket Town. Cid’s aggressiveness has been toned down, even though he is still upset with Shera (that much hasn’t changed), while Yuffie and Vincent are no longer optional. Her outfit will be similar to what was shown in the original release, while her face design is going to be similar to what was shown in Advent Children. Meawhile, Tifa’s design is going to be an amalgamation of sorts of many familiar elements. Sephiroth is apparently going to have a very limited presence throughout the first part, and will mostly make appearances either in Cloud’s breakdowns, or in the Kalm flashback. The first episode will run from the beginning of the game (mild surprise) up until That Fateful Moment™ beneath the Forgotten City.

Both will be full-sized AAA releases, and as such will be full priced individually, at $60 each, while retailers have also allegedly been told to prepare for pre-orders being opened up following E3. Square Enix confirmed recently that the game would still be an episodic release, so this falls in line with that.īoth parts will be treated as individual games.

The leak, which supposedly comes from Square Enix’s El Segundo branch (who handle localization for Square Enix games in North America), claims that Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be released in two separate parts (via Reddit). First came the re-reveal, with Square Enix promising more information in at E3 come June, and now, a new leak has emerged, containing a great deal of information on everything from the game’s combat, to the overworld, to loads more. It seems like a floodgate has opened, with information and speculation on Final Fantasy 7 Remake pouring out after nearly four years of radio silence from Square Enix.
