AI द्वारा रिपोर्ट किया गया AI द्वारा उत्पन्न छवि

Square Enix released a new version of the original Final Fantasy VII on Steam and GOG on February 24, 2026, featuring quality-of-life improvements like a 3x speed mode and autosaves. However, the release has been met with mostly negative reviews due to technical issues including blurry visuals and launch crashes. Owners of the 2013 edition retain access to it, now retitled as Final Fantasy VII - 2013 Edition, though saves are not transferable.

Metacritic has released its annual ranking of video game publishers based on 2025 releases, placing Square Enix at the top with a perfect record of good or great games. Capcom and others follow, while Sony finished near the bottom at 21st out of 28 publishers. Nintendo placed 12th despite launching the Switch 2.

He shared these comments in an interview promoting the mobile launch of Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy. Yoshida, who is 53 and has played since the first Final Fantasy, contrasted this with the faster release cadence enjoyed by older fans.
