The original Final Fantasy VII was absolutely overflowing with extra activities, from snowboarding to chocobo farming to a peculiar little arcade coin-up about a bobble-headed cat looking for nuts, all of which were terribly diverting and none of which prevented a massive meteor from hurtling towards the earth.

We don't know for absolute certain whether all or even any of the above legacy minigames will return in the remake, but common sense dictates they will in some capacity. So too, do early screenshots showcasing a brand new timewaster: a darts board, presumably situated in the 7th Heaven bar right at the start of the game.

There's not much to say about Final Fantasy VII Remake's darts - it's literally just aiming and throwing, because that's what darts is. Looking at the wider picture then, this all-new distraction suggests fun, Shenmue-esque details like this will be sprinkled throughout Midgar, adding further depth and ambience to the slums under the rotting pizza.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
