Well. It’s happened.
After numerous reports of leaked copies, statements from publisher Square Enix around global shipments and the looming threat of a nationwide lockdown – Final Fantasy VII Remake has dropped early.
Not just a day or two either. Originally scheduled for an April 10th release, here we are on the 1st and the game is available to buy in stores and online at most major gaming retailers.

Happy Final Fantasy-ing, everybody!
