After almost two years, the PlayStation-exclusive Final Fantasy VII Remake is about to end. And contrary to what one might imagine, the Xbox consoles won’t be the first non-PlayStation machines to receive the remake of the famous RPG. Indeed, that honor goes to the pc. And more precisely in the Epic Games Store. But this exit will obviously not be without controversy.
Square Enix no longer displays the price of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on the Epic Games Store PC. And it could be that this decision is related to the controversy sparked by the announcement of the same price. Square Enix used the Game Awards 2021 to announce the PC release of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.
On the PC, the extremely popular role-playing game will, at least initially, be available exclusively from the Epic Games Store. And in the American publisher’s virtual store, it seems that the game is being sold as expensive as an AAA on consoles of the new generation. So 70 dollars / 80 dollars.
Hide this price I can’t see
When this award was announced, the discontent on the part of PC gamers was immediately palpable. The latter are in fact not used to paying such an amount for a new title. And it appears that this growl was heard from Square Enix.
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade page on theEpic Games Store initially displayed this price of 79.99 dollars. And the latter was recently replaced by the words “Coming soon / soon. ” Hence, one might wonder whether the Japanese publisher did not “hide” this price until the controversy subsided.
What will be the fair price of Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PC?
Forspoken, another Square Enix game coming to the Epic Games Store, also retails for $ 79.99 on the Epic Store. However, the Japanese publisher did not choose to hide its price. It is impossible, therefore, to say that the price of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has been taken offline on the Epic Games Store due to the controversy over its price.
However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out. So one might wonder what Square Enix is up to? Is the publisher considering reducing the price of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on PC? Or will he not present the price of 79.99 dollars until the day the game is released? Impossible to say at the moment.
As a reminder, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will be released on December 16th on the Epic Games Store.
