Final Fantasy VII PlayStation Now Release Date: September 9, 2021
The official press release describes Final Fantasy VII as the following:
“Mako—the discovery of this natural resource drawn directly from the planet’s life force marked the dawn of a new era, and now the energy sustains the lives of people across the world. However, the Shinra Company has monopolized mako production, and in doing so established a powerful hegemony–its influence reaching the far corners of the globe.
Cloud, a former member of Shinra’s military organization, SOLDIER, joins the anti-Shinra resistance group AVALANCHE, despite caring little for their motives. During one of the group’s attempts to stop the company, they learn of the return of Sephiroth, Cloud’s nemesis, and that with his reemergence, the planet is in greater danger than anyone had expected. “
You've probably heard of Final Fantasy VII's premise by now. Perhaps you've already played the FFVII Remake. However, the Remake, while following the same general flow, only covers the first few hours of the original. Additionally, it does diverge from the original Final Fantasy VII's story in a few places. The addition of the original version of the game to PlayStation now might be a good chance for curious Remake fans and old-time fans looking for a truer experience to play the game.
