Miss us? Of course you did.
Get pumped
With holiday game launches constantly bombarding us with everything new, it’s only natural that our community begins to feel nostalgia for the past, back to the days when new didn’t entail a standard $60 price tag and costly DLC side packages. The promises of E3 2015 and PlayStation Experience 2014 push Final Fantasy VII to the forefront of our nostalgia ridden minds, leaving a hole and a craving for evidence of a fast-approaching Final Fantasy VII release. The remake still looms in the tauntingly vague future, but Exophase’s trophy list for the original game’s PS4 port could well mean gamers have some replay action in their futures.
Gah, not you. You’re the opposite of good news.
Nearly a full year to date, the PlayStation Experience of December 2014 first delivered the happy news of an upcoming Final Fantasy VII port. Back during springtime-fun in early June, Square Enix delayed the port release until winter.
The first day of winter, in case you were wondering, is Tuesday, December 22nd. Tuesdays and game releases go hand-in-hand, like peanut butter and marshmallow, making it the perfect time to keep a promise. Plus, ya know, it’s right before Christmas, another solid period for promise-fulfillment.
I’ve already mentioned the established pattern between trophy list reveals and the imminent game release follow-up. Another good indicator of an upcoming PS4 port launch lies in the fact that the PlayStation Experience event takes place this weekend on December 5th and 6th. It is by no means out of the question to expect an official release date by the beginning of next week.
No pressure, Square Enix/Sony. Except, you know, all the pressure.
Keep going, trophy list ahead
Unsurprisingly, the PS4 trophy list shares quite a few similarities with the Steam trophies for its Final Fantasy VII port. The list boasts 13 bronze and silver trophies, 5 gold trophies, and of course a single platinum trophy.
