It seems that a demo is indeed coming imminently. As spotted by Wario64 on X/Twitter, a trailer for a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo can currently be seen on the Explore tab on the US PSN. This trailer appears on the US PSN for now, but has not appeared in other territories at this time. This trailer appears on the US PSN for now, but has not appeared in other territories at this time.
It would appear the trailer has been published early, as it says “demo available now.” We can probably assume that was meant to air during the State of Play on February 6.
Stuck huh? So FFXVI doesnt count?
The last 20 years spent on FFXIV doesn’t count?
Dragon Quest, doesn’t count?
SaGa Emerald Beyond doesn’t count?
Foamstars… Well arguable if it counts.
Point is, they are not stuck. It is far from the only thing they are making. They just have created an amazing world with FFVII with great lore, great characters, and an amazing story. Multiple games taking place in that world is not that crazy of an idea, nor is it uncommon in the RPG genre. Some of the games sucked, the remakes are awesome. It’s grown beyond a single game at this point, it’s a series. Making more games in a series, does not make a company stuck, especially when they are still release games in other series.
It’s a fan favourite, often by a large margin. It makes sense in every way to not only finance something that will sell, but will also bring more content to the fans and life to the game. If fans didn’t want it, they would reject it, and they’re not doing that.
