It seems like everyone is playing Final Fantasy VII Remake now. Ordinary people are starting to write reviews and share gameplay videos. The kind of content you'd expect to see from game journalists who have first editions to help build anticipation for the April 10 launch.The hyped train is fully loaded and leaves the station. Where do all these people have Final Fantasy VII Remake? Why are you not one of them?
There are two ways to get the Final Fantasy VII Remake right now, but you're not going to like them. You'll either have to stop by a retail store in Australia or be a lucky European with a pre-order.
The most important thing to know is that these early versions are only for physical copies. Digital downloads are not affected.
On March 30, Square Enix announced that it would be shipping physical copies of the game to Europe and Australia earlier than usual. The coronavirus has caused delays and uncertainties in global shipping, so to make sure most players get their copies on or before April 10, they have increased their shipping date. Some players in Europe report that they have already received their copies.
Due to the game being in stock earlier, EB Games in Australia has broken the street date. It's available through their website via Click & Collect, so if you're in Australia right now, you can have a copy at your local store. Transcontinental travel has never been cheaper, but we have to recommend that you avoid taking a trip to Australia just to launch EB Games.
Square Enix implores those who have the game early to avoid spoiling the game for others. “If you get the game early, think about the others and don't ruin it for them,” their announcement said. “We know there are potential spoilers that have been around for over two decades as Final Fantasy VII was released in 1997. But Final Fantasy VII Remake is a new game that still has plenty of surprises in store for everyone. "
For the rest of us, we'll just have to wait. April 10 is not that far away. There are plenty of other games to keep you entertained in the meantime.
