Wow, such innovation. This must be those $90 games I keep hearing about. Is this just a remake, or is this a remake of the remake? Perhaps it's the remastered remake of the remake. I can't even tell but they should raise the price to at least $160 for all the work they did to this...almost 30 year old game.
The remake is split into an episodic trilogy.
FF7 Remake - Part 1
FF7 Remake Intergrade - Updated rerelease for PS5, featuring an additional bonus chapter
FF7 Rebirth - Part 2
Part 3 is still in development.
Say what you will about the direction they've taken the remake, but they most certainly did put work into making something very different from the 1997 original.
Why not just make a new game then?
That's said, anytime I get into a topic of FF style games I must refer people to a new title that's in the works. This is literally the visuals I've wanted from Enix since they basically abandoned sprites in favor 3d graphics.

Highly recommended everyone checkout EthrA
They are making new games too. Square Enix is a large publisher with a lot of different projects in their pipeline. Including their HD-2D team that's still doing sprites.
I mean, it's not like Square Enix isn't also making newer games, too. Rebirth and FF16 game out within a few months of each other, after they released a small pile of other more traditional JRPGs (even with sprites!)
I won’t be buying switch 2 because of the insane new game pricing, but can we stop parroting the $90 price tag as if that’s true? It is only the case with Mario Kart World Physical edition (I think only confirmed for EU too).
The only case yet. I'd be very surprised if the next Zelda isn't gonna be $90 as well. Doug Bowser said himself that prices are gonna vary depending on how much Nintendo thinks ~~people will begrudgingly pay for them~~ they're worth, factoring in production cost, play time etc.
Let's be real: $90 is gonna be the new price for Nintendo's flagship titles.
I won't, only because I have yet to see companies not constantly increase prices, decrease quality, push talks/articles about their high prices to normalize it, produce less to force fake scarcity to further increase costs..they don't care one iota, why should I?
I'm done pandering to companies and essentially treating them like they treat us (which is like shit). Companies this day and age, do not deserve to be given blind faith anymore. They shouldn't be trusted, the worst should be assume until THEY PROVE otherwise.
If you want to be upset about $80 Mario Kart, I'm not going to tell you not to be upset. But I am going to tell you not to lie and spread misinformation.
Have you seen a single screenshot of FF7 PS1? lmao
