The long wait for Final Fantasy 7 Remake is quickly coming to an end. Following its short delay from its original March release window, Square Enix has been fairly active in releasing new information about the game including new areas of Midgard that weren't in the original game, battle system, and more. Along with the recent demo on the PlayStation 4, players were able to get their hands on a few dynamic themes, though there's only one way to get a special Sephiroth one.
Unlike the previous two dynamic themes, players who want the third Final Fantasy 7 Remake theme that prominently features Sephiroth can only do so if they plunk a pre-order down through Amazon in the United States. Non-US fans can also score this theme from other retailers in Europe, though Square Enix doesn't provide any specifics unfortunately. Considering this is technically a pre-order bonus, fans will likely have to wait for the game to launch until codes are shipped, meaning it's not as simple as pre-ordering, getting a code for the theme, and then canceling the order.
The theme itself shows a ruined Shinra Electric Power Company and the burning embers rising up when navigating around the PS4 icons. When moving down to the main bar of content, Sephiroth is standing with his sword in hand near the burning cinders and ruined buildings. A nice little attention to detail is that his iconic black features have been added to the content icons as well.
Thankfully, the other themes can be obtained much faster and easier than the Sephiroth one. The first theme that features the core group of heroes can be earned simply by downloading and playing the recently released demo before May 11. A second theme showing Cloud staring up at the sprawling city of Midgar will be available to download for all PlayStationPlus subscribers soon. The official Final Fantasy VII twitter page also hints at more themes to come.
While the demo may be one way to hold fans over until the release date finally arrives, it also gave players a bit more insight. For one, the score keeps the original music composed by Nobou Uematsu, although it has been done in new arrangements to help it sound a bit more modern. The demo also features a secret ending which players may have missed on their first playthrough. The special scene can be triggered during the Mako reactor scene and when given the option, players should select 20 minutes instead of 30.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake will launch on April 10, 2020 for the PlayStation 4.
