Final Fantasy VII Remake LEAK: Everything We Learned

1. It's Not Quite Finished

Don't be too alarmed, but one immediately eye-catching aspect of the leaked demo screenshots was that parts of the game set to be included in the first episode - releasing just three months from now - are not yet complete.

There are textureless models in the opening section, placeholder mannequins filling in for future NPCs, and some very peculiar looking faces. Don Corneo's mansion in particular looked a little ropey in the sneak images.

Is any of this cause for concern? Not really: bear in mind these are screenshots from an unfinished demo which wasn't supposed to enter the public domain. There's more than enough time to get things polished before Episode 1 launches in March. Fingers crossed!

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.
