By

Some players who are excited for the Final Fantasy VII Remake will need to re-confirm their pre-orders for the highly anticipated game, as a result of its delayed release.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake, which was originally expected to release exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on March 3, will now be launched just over a month later on April 10. Producer Yoshinori Kitase apologized for the delay, which the development team decided in order to gain some more time for final polishing to deliver “the best possible experience.”

As a result of the delayed release, players in the United States who pre-ordered the Final Fantasy VII Remake through the Square Enix store will need to re-confirm by February 28, or else their pre-order will be canceled.

Players should watch for an email that will contain a link for the pre-order opt-in. The processing of payments will now also start on February 28, so those who re-confirm their pre-orders will also have to make sure that their payment method is updated and available on that date.

Canceled pre-orders will not be reinstated due to “limited quantities available,” so players should not forget to re-confirm over the next month. This is especially important for those who are looking to acquire the game’s Deluxe Edition and 1st Class Edition, as other fans will likely immediately take up any slots that will open up from canceled pre-orders.

It appears that the requirement for re-confirmation does not affect pre-orders of the Final Fantasy VII Remake made through other retailers.

The hype over the Final Fantasy VII Remake further escalated with the game’s leaked demo, which covers the sequence of the original Final Fantasy VII story where Cloud joined Barrett and Avalanche in taking down a Mako Reactor. The 10GB demo revealed that there were certain changes to the plot, and contained four hours of music and minigames. It also suggested that the RPG will take up a total of 73GB in the PlayStation 4’s storage.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake, which was originally announced at E3 2015, is finally almost ready to launch. What’s one more month when the RPG’s fans have been waiting for almost five years?

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Queen’s Blood tips and tricks
Queen's Blood

After Fort Condor arrived in Final Fantasy 7: Remake Intergrade, you may not have expected an entirely new minigame to be introduced in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. However, after the opening hours, when you're let loose in Kalm, you will automatically be given your very first deck of Queen's Blood cards. While this minigame is entirely optional after you play your first game to learn the basics, you would be missing out on a ton of content and secrets, let alone fun, by ignoring it. Still, we understand if you feel you didn't sign up for a strange new card game in your Final Fantasy adventure. Plus, there is a lot more depth to the game than is properly explained. If you want to rise up the ranks and be a Queen's Blood champion, but are unsure how to start, we'll show you the ropes.
The basics

The tutorial for Queen's Blood does a decent job explaining the basic rules of Queen's Blood, but it goes by rather quickly and may leave some things a little unclear until you play a few rounds.

PSA: Don’t burn yourself out on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s open-world activities
Cloud from FFVII

I'm normally a completionist when it comes to games, but I wish I had told myself to push that mindset to the side before I started Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

I get the desire to do it all, I really do. In the critically acclaimed sequel, we're finally let loose outside of Midgar. Square Enix has laid a huge, lush set of biomes to stretch our legs in after being stuck in the cramped hallways and tunnels of the drab city. Despite most of the world activities in Rebirth being standard open-world fare (activating towers, scanning points of interest, and hunting down specific monsters), there's an undeniable novelty to doing it with Cloud and the rest of Avalanche. What I wish I had known before starting was just how easy it was to burn out on that feeling.

The best armor in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth
Cloud from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Just like in Remake, you only have one valuable armor slot per character in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Deciding on what you want to put there is more complicated than you think, since each piece of armor has multiple factors that determine how effective it will be, and you may want to prioritize different things for different characters. New armor will become available as you go deeper into the world of Gaia, and you can even make some yourself with the new Transmutation system, so comparing and contrasting them all can be a major chore. We get it, you're just a merc looking to get the job done, so let us worry about figuring out the best armors so you can just put them on and get back to the action.
The best armor in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Armor in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth have three major factors to consider when you're equipping some: the physical defense rating, magic defense rating, and Materia slots. The best armor will either focus heavily on one of these or have a strong balance of them all. Here are our picks.
Garm Bangle

The Garm Bangle is an amazing piece of physical-focused armor that becomes available once you hit the Nibel region. It has a fantastic 59 rating for regular defense, aplus a decent 28 for magic defense to keep you from being totally vulnerable to spells. Offensively, it has two pairs of linked Materia slots plus a spare, so you can still make plenty of killer magic combos for your mages.
