No Microtransactions in Final Fantasy VII Re-Release




The upcoming PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII will not feature any microtransactions, according to Square Enix.


The publisher made the announcement to Kotaku, explaining that none of the new features in the game will cost real money to use.








We'll have final pricing info on the game to share soon, but we can confirm that there will be no microtransactions for the upcoming re-release of Final Fantasy VII on PC.





A Square Enix representative said, "No, the Character Booster will not cost real money to use. We'll have final pricing info on the game to share soon, but we can confirm that there will be no microtransactions for the upcoming re-release of Final Fantasy VII on PC."


The Character Booster is one of several new features announced for the re-release, which allows players to boost their character's stats and gil to overcome tough sections of the game. Also new to Final Fantasy VII in this version is the inclusion of 36 achievements and Cloud saves.


While the only release date mentioned is a vague "coming soon", it's important to note that this title is not the remake fans have been wanting, though conditions for such a thing were recently revealed.


This version is based on the PC port previously available, but with up-res detail of the character and monster models in fight sequences and in-game cut-scenes. Rendered elements such as backgrounds and CG movies will be the same as in previous releases of FF VII.
