Astute gaming industry observers not familiar with the Final Fantasy series might notice something strange in Square Enix’s latest movements. Over the years, it has made nearly all of its titles available on mobile and PC and those that aren’t fit to be ported have received some slight brush up. That was true for almost all titles save for one: Final Fantasy VIII. Without really giving any reason why, Square Enix is finally giving that installment some long-overdue attention in the Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, which, unlike Final Fantasy VII, is not a remake.
While Final Fantasy VII is probably best known for its epic story that affects the entire world, Final Fantasy VIII tones it down a bit and makes the stakes more personal and closer to home. It is perhaps known to be the Final Fantasy love story and its characters have also been etched into gamers’ memories. The gunblade, in particular, would become a staple weapon in future Final Fantasy installments.
As a remastered version, this new Final Fantasy VIII doesn’t exactly add anything new in terms of actual content. The new visuals, however, will ensure that it won’t look terribly on modern hardware and displays. Those who played the original, however, may be tickled to see their favorites in less pixelated form.
Although the conflict doesn’t exactly happen on a grand scale, the battle between nations in Final Fantasy VIII still takes on a serious tone that have repercussions for the rest of the world. The reclusive Squall Leonhart must not only fight for the future but also for love, as cheesy as that may sound.
Final Fantasy VIII Remastered will launch on some unannounced date later this year. The game will available not only on the PlayStation 4 but also on the Xbox One, PC via Steam, and even the Nintendo Switch.
Update: Registration is now open for the promotion. Simply enter your details on the promotional website, upload your receipt with qualifying products, and as soon as it’s approved, you’ll receive an email with a code for a free dynamic PS4 theme featuring Tifa.

Here’s the list of rewards:
- Midgar Bangle
- Shinra Bangle
- Corneo’s Armlet
- Superstar Belt
- Mako Crystal
The rewards are available at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 cumulative purchases respectively. Each is an accessory that can be equipped to characters in Final Fantasy VII Remake. It’s unknown what their exact in-game effects will be. The main Butterfinger site hints at a Tifa Lockhart Dynamic PS4 theme that will be available on March 3 when the promo goes live, but there aren’t any details on how to get it just yet.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is due out for PS4 on April 10, 2020. Hanging with friends meme. It’s a timed exclusive that will then be brought to other platforms after a year. The original Final Fantasy VII released for PlayStation in 1997. The idea of a remake had been tossed around as early as 2000, but nothing ever materialized until now. The PS4 version had its fair share of developmental hurdles to overcome and even suffered a recent delay, but the wait is almost over and will now be made that much sweeter thanks to Butterfinger.
