Final Fantasy VII Remake is in arm’s length of release, and you may be wondering which version to buy. Square Enix didn’t skimp on goodies for the game’s launch, so some tough decisions are ahead for eager fans. That’s why we decided to put together a buying guide for those on the fence on which version to purchase. For those unaware, FF7 Remake plays like third-person action game that is the first episode of a multi-part remake. While the episodic method may be confusing for some, Square Enix promises each entry to be similar to full-length games. Additionally, each part is said to expand/add to FF7’s lore and improve upon what the original game introduced.

The official description for the game reads:
A spectacular reimagining of one of the most visionary games ever, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE rebuilds and expands the legendary RPG for today. The first entry in a multi-part saga, delivering a level of depth inconceivable for the original. Mind-blowing story, unforgettable characters, epic battles and technical excellence collide. The world has fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet’s very life force as mako energy. In the sprawling city of Midgar, an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the group, unaware of the epic consequences that await him.
