10 Hotly-Anticipated RPGs That Will Blow You Away In 2019

4. Final Fantasy VII

Like Shenmue before it, Final Fantasy VII feels like it's been in development forever. The two titles were announced at the same time, but Square Enix's reimagining has been even quieter than Sega's title, with there being nary a peep of gameplay footage following the remake's first few months of frantic marketing.

Even worse, nobody really knows when the game is actually going to come out, or what form it's going to take. Originally an episodic release, the first instalment was rumoured to drop in 2019, but it's unclear if that's still the case. Though production is underway, the director is currently focused on shipping Kingdom Hearts 3 first, leaving everyone wondering just how far the game has come in the near four years since it was announced.

Still, this is Final Fantasy VII we're talking about, and despite all these red flags, there's plenty to get excited about. The original is one of the greatest RPGs of all time, and while this remake is certainly changing things quite substantially, Square Enix isn't going to half-arse a game that so many fans hold close to their heart. Probably.
