    I remember when the FF7 remake came out— i’m confused about the subsequent remake versions that came out after it? Not mad or anything— i just don’t have context abt it is all. Is there more content? Expanded storylines?

    Super excited to see Crisis Core get remastered tho. Lots of fond memories!

    • The remake series has always been planned as a trilogy, and the first game in the series released on everything. But the very next game was made exclusive to PlayStation. This was, apparently, by design. The idea was to bring a bunch of players into the series, then switch to an exclusive to try and help push PS5’s.

      As someone who got the first game on PC, I feel this was a stupid move. I’m not going to get the subsequent games on a different platform. Your save carries through the games; I want the next one on the platform I already played the first one on.

        Awh jeeze :( That sucks that they made the next one an exclusive. I hope it’ll be a timed exclusive— it’s awful that you can’t play w your existing save.

        I have fond memories of watching my older brother play through the OG on his PC when I was a tween. Still can’t get the chocobo theme out of my head!

        Thanks for taking the time to answer :) Happy New Year!

      The story is expanded quite a bit, incorporating things from the Final Fantasy 7 side games, and, without getting too spoilery, there are changes to the story that are noticed in-universe.

      It’s a trilogy, remake was part 1 focused on the Midgar part at the beginning, rebirth is part 2 and goes to the end of OG disk 1, part 3 is expected probably in 2027. Crisis Core Reunion is already out.
