The rumored Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo will be releasing alongside the main game on March 3, if GameSpot is to be believed.

The demo for the upcoming remake of Final Fantasy VII supposedly leaked on the official PS Store last week, and while it wasn't publically available, a certain number of PS4 owners managed to download and play the demo. The demo was thoroughly datamined and contained loads of details, including screenshots and story details that shouldn't be in the demo.

If media outlet GameSpot is to be believed though, the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo is releasing for the PlayStation 4 alongside the main game on March 3.

Whether GameSpot knows more than we do remains to be seen and there's a good possibility that this is merely a random date that they wrote down. However, there are some indications that Square Enix does intend to release the demo alongside the main game. For instance, those who played the demo claim that no release date at the end of the demo has been mentioned and the demo doesn't seem to include a pre-order option. Instead, the demo invites players to 'purchase' the demo, suggesting that the main game has already been released once the demo is available for play.

Ewww :(

 

[janusff]

Yikes

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Thanks for dataminers!

:P

 

[Toumari]

That's really disappointing if true. I wanted to try the demo to convince me to actually pre-order the full game...

 

[Milennia]

FUCK

[Mediking]

The demo releases the same day as the full game???

What kinda sick joke is this?

 

[Buckle]

For fuck's sake..

 

[Annabel]

Well that's annoying.

 

[FormatCompatible]

If that's the case then it's completely pointless to me personally, I will just be playing the final release.

What a strange decision if true.

 

[Wireframe]

This is a mistake. Am I really going to have to jailbreak a PS4 to play this?

 

[asd202]

God damn it. Oh well it's less than two months anyway.

 

[Prophet Five]

ouch

i feel bad for those who were hoping to try it out based on the leak

 

[Atilac]

So the data mining disaster could have been avoided if they put it up like a day in advance?

 

[The Unsent]

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 1 or Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 1 Part 1?

 

[Tolby]

Trying before deciding would have been cool.

 

[pswii60]

Damn was hoping sooner. Like, this month.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Damn...thats late. Should at least be 1-2weeks before the release now that it leaked already.

 

[Hypemaster]

LMAOOOO why

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

I'm kinda glad tho. I like having my first experience with a game be when I own a copy

 

[DrROBschiz]

ugh thats disapointing and pointless

 

[KayonXaikyre]

Lol I'm going to buy it at launch. Why would I need a demo by then???????? I guess I could try it then buy it right after but that sounds I dunno haha. Like I was going to buy it no matter what anyway so the demo would be just for me to get my fill early instead of having to wait.

 

[Mesoian]

PFFT HA.

Ah...::wipes tear::

 

[____]

In for the demo. Never played a FF game and not interested in this one but I AM interested in free.

 

[Mediking]

The damn dataminers caused this. I bet the original plan wasn't to release the demo on the same day as the full game.

 

[night814]

Thanks for dataminers!

:P

I figure this is in jest but for all we know this may have always been the case.

It is none the less dissappointing

 

[Chibs]

Ew.

 

[liquidtmd]

I know it shouldn't have changed their release plans, but it feels a little more bitter now to know that the leak and all the datamining was done for something that wasn't due pre-launch regardless

 

[Megatron]

If they're going to do that, they may as well just release it a month or two after the game launches to try to tempt people who didn't buy it into jumping in.

 

[Dust]

 

[JMY86]

Well shit.

 

[Deleted member 6730]

They should've released that shit asap

 

[____]

Trying before deciding would have been cool.

Lol you can still do this 👀

 

[Rosur]

Guess I'll miss the demo then. Still plan to get the game day 1 but a demo would of helped the wait.

 

[Ravelle]

Trying before deciding would have been cool.

You can still do that though, you don't have to mindlessly buy it on Day 1.

 

[Deleted member 32822]

LMAOOOOOO

 

[Arrakis]

 

[Jimmypython]

well this would makes sense for it to have way more than what the demo is supposed to have....

 

[Deleted member 10737]

lmao

 

[Deleted member 32563]

Thanks for dataminers!

:P

Click to shrink...

Yup. Bombaclots man. I thought it would drop at a PS Direct.

 

[catboy]

 

[Xavi]

lol!

 

[FakePlasticTree]

Oh

 

[tr1b0re]

Kinda pointless for the many who would already be getting the game at launch...oh well

 

[ItchyTasty]

:)

 

[Chrno]

pre order canceled

Spoiler: ?

yeah right lol.

 

[Paperchampion23]

Im gonna go with the hypothesis that Nomura is punishing us for the leaks lol

 

[Iori Fuyusaka]

Trying before deciding would have been cool.

Sounds like you already decided.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

On one hand: fuck!

On the other: it's all going to feel fresh on Day 1. Let's go!!!
