The first Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer in four years debuted yesterday, and today IGN learned that it will likely still be an episodic game as first announced in 2015.
Fans were pointing to a vague line in a roughly Google-translated Japanese press release for confirmation of this, and IGN reached out to Square Enix to see just how accurate that was. In response, a Square Enix representative simply pointed us back toward the press release from 2015 that initially revealed the remake would be “a multi-part series,” and that they had no further information to share beyond what had already been announced there.
