Several "Final Fantasy" fans were thrilled when Square Enix announced their plans to do a remake of the classic "Final Fantasy 7" title. As the game was released many years ago, the players can expect a lot of renovations and improvements with the remake.

For now, there are no clear details yet regarding the release of the "Final Fantasy 7" remake. However, there are rumors that Square Enix may adopt an episodic style of release for their upcoming game title, similar to what they did to "Final Fantasy XIII." As reported by the Game Informer, the "Final Fantasy 7" remake will be divided into three episodes, making up for one huge epic storyline.

"Final Fantasy" game producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed that they might release the "Final Fantasy 7" remake in succeeding episodes, although every installment of the game will have its own perspective. All three episodes of the remake will have their own story and mechanics, not serving as a direct sequel or continuation of the other.

According to the rumors, the first episode of the three-part "Final Fantasy 7" remake will be released in March 2017. For now, Square Enix has yet to divulge important information about the "Final Fantasy 7" remake, but it is possible that the Japanese game studio will be presenting the details at the PlayStation Experience (PSX) 2016 next month.

On the other hand, it is expected that the "Final Fantasy 7" remake will not only be playable on PlayStation 4. According to Yibada , the game will also be ported to the latest PlayStation 4 Pro console, featuring enhanced 4K gameplay. This will be an advantage since the game can utilize the console's impressive specs.

Movie News Guide reported that the "Final Fantasy 7" remake will still follow the story of the AVALANCHE resistance, led by the game's main protagonist, Cloud Strife. The villainous organization, Shinra Corp, will be challenged by Cloud as AVALANCHE aims to restore peace and order in the world.
