POWER STREET 28/3/20: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Publisher publisher Square Enix has asked fans not to spoil the game, as he acknowledges that copies can be seen in early Europe and Australia.
The first one started appearing over the weekend, as we reported below. Now, a new statement from the publisher explained that this was because it deliberately sent them to the start of the ongoing coronavirus-related disruption, ensuring they reached the fans on release day.
"What is really important to us is that all of you, including those living in countries currently experiencing severe disruption, can play the game at launch, so we decided to send the game a lot earlier than usual in Europe and Australia.
"Because of this, there is a good chance that some of you in these regions will now receive a copy of the game before the global release date of April 10."
This message, from producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Testuya Nomura, urged fans not to win the game for others:
"For everyone we would like to ask for more.
"If you find a game early, please be considerate and not crazy. We know that there are competitors who may have been out for over twenty years since the original Final Fantasy 7 was released in 1997. Remake is a new game that still has a lot of surprises for everyone. and players should see for themselves this game, and we need the support of our dedicated worldwide community to ensure that. "

POWER STREET 28/3/20: Plato Enix has issued a warning for the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, saying it will not be able to control the release date of the game due to the coronavirus outbreak.
In the meantime, the final date for the final edition of Fake Fantasy 7 Remake has been broken, and copies have been received from fans two weeks before the official release of 10 April 2020.
In a blog post, Square Enix said the global shutdown would impact on the distribution and sale of land in the west when the Final Fantasy 7 Remake was launched.
"As you will know, many countries limit access to or close their national and government borders and restrict the distribution and distribution of non-essential items," Square Enix said. "It is understandable that these restrictions are being made so that the essentials reach their destination more quickly."
What does this mean? According to Square Enix, while sending copies of the box of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, "we can't control the day the game arrives."
The news becomes as Square Enix is facing another headache: copies of Final Fantasy 7 Remake have worked in the hands of fans in some way.
Redditor NateLo22 posted pictures of the Deluxe game, while promising not to spoil the story. Brace yourself if you care about the game's structure, but – some may not care.
