Final Fantasy VII returns… sort of

Billions* of fans have been calling for a Final Fantasy VII remake ever since that pesky PS3 tech demo was shown at E3 all those years ago – and finally (geddit?) Square Enix has heard your cries.

Except, of course, they’re all tone deaf, it seems.

“Coming soon” to PC, Square Enix will be relaunching Final Fantasy VII – not remade, simply “optimised to support modern hardware and with a host of new online features,” according to their official Twitter tweet.

What new features, I hear you ask?

Well for one, there will be achievements – so you can finally prove to everyone that you defeated Emerald Weapon instead of being called a big dirty liar.

On top of that, you will also be able to change stats and money levels at the click of a button with the Character Booster – and if you have an Internet connection, you will have access to Cloud Saves (CLOUD saves, oh Square Enix, you funny bunch).

Currently, that is all the information that is available – and it remains to be seen if there will be any cosmetic changes or not. However, it’s safe to assume that Aerith still dies.

Spoiler, by the way.

The game will be available exclusively through Square Enix’s online store. No release date was given.
