Final Fantasy: Record Keeper

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is down to a record-low $19.99 on PS5 and $34.99 on Switch 2 at Amazon, featuring an exclusive Magic: The Gathering promo card bonus for those buying on Switch 2.

Hasbro’s latest earnings call revealed just how close Magic’s Marvel Super Heroes set has come to dethroning Final Fantasy.

Which Final Fantasy game should you play first?

I think my favourite thing about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy so far is the specific ways in which the developers at Square Enix inject nostalgia. The games launched to date - Remake and Rebirth - manage to nod warmly towards aspects of the original RPG without it ever feeling trite. You can see it in so many aspects of the way the games are curated: the way certain musical sequences are teased as motifs, and then brought in, full-throated, for certain boss fights; the redesigns of (in)famous monsters, and how certain major enemies are deployed in slightly remixed ways for maximum effect

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is a while away. In the meantime, sink your teeth into these massive JRPGs that will hold you over until FF7R Part 3 is out
