'Final Fantasy VII Remake' News: The Square Enix RPG Will Be A Bestseller If Released Now

Final Fantasy VII Remake takes the second spot on the latest Most Wanted Games chart of Famitsu. The Famitsu Most Wanted Games chart for Japan reflects the demand for upcoming games. This demand should directly translate into game sales.

The only concern for video game companies with games in Famitsu's chart is how soon can they release their games. Companies compete for the mind share of fans. Fans though have limited resources.

Whichever game in the most wanted chart comes out first, will likely be bought by fans who will use up their limited resources. Fans may no longer be able to afford the other games on the chart once they buy the first game on the charts that is released.

It is also a possibility that games could fall out of the charts before they can be released. So it is vitally important that games are released while they at their peak in the charts so they have the best chance of being chosen by fans to use their meager resources on.

With this in mind, Square Enix should strike while the iron is hot. They should release Final Fantasy VII Remake while it is holding its position among the top most wanted games in Japan.

Readers in Japan of the Famitsu gaming magazine have chosen the Square Enix game as the second most wanted game behind another Square Enix RPG, Dragon Quest XI. According to the gaming website GamingBolt, the current Most Wanted Games chart of Famitsu shows that Final Fantasy 7 Remake is holding its position at number two.

The newspaper Daily Express reported that there has been no word yet on the launch date of Final Fantasy VII Remake. Square Enix has remained quiet regarding the release date of the game. This is despite the demand represented by the game placing near the top of the most wanted charts. Fans want to buy the game, if not now, then as soon as possible.

Square Enix announced the game at E3 2015. The game is rumored to be released this year based on an advertisement for the Australian retail site EB Games. The advertisement also showed that the game would be released on the Xbox One. When Final Fantasy 7 Remake was revealed, it was stated that fans could play it first on the PlayStation 4.

The game will be released in three separate installments. With this release manner, Square Enix would be able to include everything and add some extra features as well. The separate parts should also mean that fans can expect Final Fantasy VII to be released sooner rather than later.
