News: The box art for the Final Fantasy VII Remake is an homage to the original and should make longtime fans happy.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake is coming out in March 2020. While that is still a little ways away Square Enix has revealed the official box art for it and it will be a shot of nostalgia for those gamers who grew up with Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they tried to take down the Shinra Corporation. The package art, reminiscent of the North American cover of the original Final Fantasy VII, features protagonist Cloud Strife with his iconic buster sword, staring down the headquarters of the shadowy enemy he has agreed to help takedown. In addition to this box art reveal, there is a new trailer also now available that showcases Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith going head to head with a ferocious beast named Abzu.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is a reimagining of the iconic original game that re-defined the RPG genre, diving deeper into the world and its characters than ever before. The first game in the project will be set in the eclectic city of Midgar and presents a fully standalone gaming experience that provides a great starting point to the series.

Along with unforgettable characters and a powerful story, Final Fantasy VII Remake features a hybrid battle system that merges real-time action with strategic, command-based combat. For players who wish to focus purely on battle strategy, a menu-focused ‘Classic Mode’ provides a gameplay style more similar to the original game.

The Deluxe Edition, available to pre-order now, contains a hardback art book featuring concept art, a soundtrack selection CD, Summon Materia DLC allowing players to summon Cactuar in-game and a Sephiroth SteelBook Case. The Digital Deluxe Edition contains a digital artbook, a digital soundtrack selection, and Summon Materia DLC allowing players to summon Carbuncle and Cactuar in-game.

Those who pre-order any version of the game will also receive the Chocobo Chick Summon Materia DLC at launch. Those who pre-order any digital edition from the PlayStation Store will also receive the Cloud & Sephiroth Dynamic Theme for the PlayStation 4 system.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake will be available on PlayStation 4 beginning March 3, 2020. Check out the box art and new trailer below and then tell us what you think. Will you be picking it up?
