Final Fantasy 7 Remake has managed to sell 3.5 Million in three days, but what does this mean for the future of this mini-franchise?

What started off as a rudimentary news episode ended up becoming a much more intense discussion about what's next for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, but it also expands into Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age and PlayStation's Big In Japan sale!

We hope you enjoy the heated discussions!

Final Fantasy 7 Remake has now released, and given it has Tetsuya Nomura as the director... we wanted to discuss the many similarities that exist between both games.

It makes for an interesting episode, as Branden and Churro run-through the story, gameplay and many other aspects that tie together to make a pretty comprehensive Final Fantasy experience.

KH Union 192: The Remind Aftermath, Verum Rex Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Dengeki had the chance to speak with Tetsuya Nomura following the release of Remind and it revealed some juicy details about the future.

For one, Nomura spoke about the similarities between Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Verum Rex... stating that despite seeming the same, in reality they are very different. There will be a connection with Kingdom Hearts, but that connection has yet to be revealed and it will be shocking.

This, and more, with another action-packed episode!

We're joined by YouTuber The Night Sky Prince (aka Ryan) on the eve of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake's release to talk all about the build-up to this monumental game.

It's a pretty hefty episode in that regard, as we talk to Ryan about how he got started on YouTube and how much things have grown over the past few years. From there, it's all about FF7R, as we talk about our history with the game and reminisce about the journey we've taken to get to where we are.

We hope you enjoy!

That's one of our questions in today's episode in addition to thoughts about why Kingdom Hearts skipped the PS3 and questions Branden and Churro wish they could ask the development staff.

All that in addition to talking about the PS5/XSX hardware specifications, which have now been released into the wild!

Final Fantasy XIII is now over 10 years old, so we thought it would be rather apt to talk through some of our favourite things about the game.
