Final Fantasy VII Remake is right around the corner and Square Enix has shared a fresh batch of in-game screenshots. These brand new Final Fantasy VII Remake screenshots showcase new and returning characters, in-game locations, as well as a, summon that you will be able to use when you play the game. Earlier we got to know that Final Fantasy VII has gone gold.
Check out all the revealed screenshots below and some information about the characters and the locations in the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Tseng
This is Tseng – the leader of the Turks.
The Turks are a small, elite organization with Shinra that does everything the company needs it to – be it scouting out candidates for SOLDIER, protecting VIPs, or even assassination.
Their cool-headed leader has a knack for managing his eccentric subordinates. He’s an old acquaintance of Aerith’s, and has been keeping watch over her since she moved to the slums.
Don Corneo
This lecherous scumbag is the true ruler of Wall Market. He hosts nightly auditions for the “next Mrs. Corneo” and although his mouth is as foul as his face, he has an uncanny way with people – even the dregs of society are securely under his thumb.
Andrea Rhodea
The owner of – and dancer at – the Honeybee Inn is a man of influence within the quarter, with the authority to approve women for Corneo’s auditions. Each night, he dazzles his crowd with performances that defy description. Always seeking perfection, he rigorously trains both his mind and body.
Leslie Kyle
Don Corneo’s lackey may look young, but he has the heart of an old curmudgeon. His dead-eyed stare and general apathy have earned him pride of place among the don’s men.
Madam M
Madam M is the proprietress of a hand-massage parlor in Wall Market. Like Andrea, she has a great deal of influence within the quarter – that includes the authority to approve women for Corneo’s auditions. Be warned that she’s a prideful sort, and only as courteous as her customers are deep-pocketed.
Chocobo Sam
A Chocobo handler in Wall Market, Chocobo Sam is another prominent figure with the authority to approve women for Corneo’s auditions. He runs a delivery service called Sam’s Delivery. He also happens to be an avid gambler – though he’s hooked more on the rush than any money he may win.
Square Enix also revealed some more information on Barret and showcased his battle abilities. Barret is one of the core party members and comes with a gun arm which is an excellent weapon for long-ranged fighting. Pressing the square button with make Barret fire a volley from his machine gun and if you want an extended salvo, you can simply press and hold down the button for a little time.
Pressing the triangle button will unleash Barret’s Overcharge attack which fills a large portion of his ATB gauge and is also much more powerful than his normal shots. After every use, the Overcharge attack must be recharged before you can use it again. If you want to use the attack quickly, you can press Triangle again to speed up the process. Once the ATB gauge is filled, Barret can use his special abilities such as the Focused Shot or Lifesaver.
Square Enix also detailed the Materia mechanic in the game. Equipping Materia in the game allows your characters to use magic, special abilities and much more. When equipped, there is a chance that the character can also learn enemy attacks however these skills can only be used when the material is equipped.
Next, we have some screenshots featuring the beautiful locations that you will be exploring in Final Fantasy VII Remake when it comes out. Check them out.
Wall Market
Built on the ruins of the collapsed Sector 6 plate, Wall Market is Midgar’s biggest – and most infamous – entertainment quarter. It’s run by Don Corneo and is almost entirely free of Shinra’s influence. It’s an incredibly lively area that offers plenty of… let’s say ‘intriguing’ ways to pass the lonely nights.
Corneo Colosseum
Located beneath the bustling streets of Wall Market, the Corneo Colosseum gives brave fighters the chance to engage in brutal battles against both man and monster. Winners of a colosseum bout receive glory, fame, and a substantial reward.
The Honeybee Inn
Situated in Wall Market, the Honeybee Inn is the area’s premier nightclub and offers nights few will ever forget- as its staff frequently remind its patrons. Every night, audiences are dazzled by the Honeybee Inn’s gorgeous cast of honeygirls and boys. This unique venue also provides private rooms for its more discerning customers, allowing them to enjoy time in private with the performers of their choice. At one point in the story, Tifa and Aerith glam themselves up to infiltrate Don Corneo’s mansion. Cloud is left with no choice but to dress to impress as well. Each character has multiple costumes too!
Beginner’s Hall
This is Beginner’s Hall – a location where you can learn the basics of weapon enhancement. There’s a weapon shop on the ground floor. The second floor is used as the base of operations for the neighborhood watch.
A brand new feature Jukebox has also been added to the game. While exploring the world of Final Fantasy VII Remake, you will often come across music discs that can be played on Jukeboxes scattered around the world. When you find a disc, next time you are near a Jukebox, interact with it and play the disc to listen to the music on it.
Lastly, we got to see the Summon: Leviathan in action as well. Check it out below.
