So you’ve just seen the credits roll for and you, understandably, want more. The game ends on such a note of optimism that it’s actually pretty hard to put down when it’s technically over. Here’s a quick primer on getting back into the world of Final Fantasy VII Remake.
New Game+
Final Fantasy VII Remake doesn't do the modern RPG thing of dumping the party back into an open world to play around. The game instead gives players access to a Chapter Select screen from the in-game menu. This is most likely because, minor spoiler alert, c❀ertain areas of the game's map change over time and some collectibles become inaccessible.
Hard Mode
The Hard Difficulty setting for Final Fantasy VII Remake is available only after the first playthrough of the game. The game's difficulty is adjusted by changing how aggressive enem𒀰ies are but more-so by giving enemies more health and damage output. This makes Hard Difficulty an unreasonable challenge for most players starting at level one. So those looking for tougher fights should hang around after the credits.
Trophy Hunting
There are 54 PlayStation trophies in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Of those, 31 are likely to be completed in the first playthrough. That leaves 23 to get the platinum trophy for the game and several of those are given for beating min🐽i-games. The fact that the game uses chapter select for New Game+ also makes trophy hunting less of a headache than some other games. There's also a handy Play Log in the System page of the main menu to keep track of what collectibles you've found.
Play the Original
The Final Fantasy VII available on and is a port of the PC version of the original release and therefore not exactly the same as the PS1 game. But it's close enough that no one would notice without playing them side by side. So if you finish the remake and do exhaust every mini-game, side quest, and other entertainments Final Fantasy VII Remake has to offer, there are at least eighty more hours of Final Fantasy VII available on practically any hardware you𒀰 own. This is also an option for those purists angered and confused by the game's ending. They can drown their sorrow in the lifestream.
So what are your plans now that you're on the other side of Final Fantasy VII Remake?
