Summary
The build toTokyo Game Showcontinues with a little more than a week until developers gather in Japan’s capital to show off some of what they’ve got coming soon.Square Enixwill be there, and while we don’t know for sure what the studio will reveal, we can celebrate what has come before via theSteamsale on Square games running right now that will come to an end once this year’s TGS has concluded.
There are titles from some of Square’s heaviest hitters on sale for the next two weeks, andFinal Fantasyis the biggest. There are a lot of Final Fantasy games -Final Fantasy 16launched last year, and that’s not counting the sequels and spinoffs - and 12 of them are included in Steam’s TGS sale.Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, the best-looking version of the game with its Yuffie DLC packed in, is 50 percent off, bringing its $70 price tag down to just $35 for a limited time.
If you want to go further back on theFinal Fantasy 7timeline than Remake, the original version of the game is also on sale. Play through the OG Final Fantasy 7 for less than $5 while it’s on sale for only $4.79. Fair warning if your reason for playing it is to find out what might happen during the final installment of the Remake trilogy, I’ve got a feeling the events of the last chapter are going to be very different from the original game’s ending.
