The PC release of theFinal Fantasy 7 Remakedid not have the same perk that its counterpart on PS5 did, and it looks likeFinal Fantasy 7 RebirthPC release is going to miss the same perk. This is unfortunate, as players on PC may well want to know if their system is good enough to handle FF7 Rebirth. FF7 was such a big game upon getting remade that they had to split the game into three. Both currently released games are substantial and sweeping on their own, with nearly 50 hours to complete the story each.

WithFF7 Rebirthcoming to PClater this month, there is one big problem. While its counterpart on PS5 got a demo,the PC version did not and no announcement has been made that would suggest one is coming. While it seems unlikely that an announcement will come at this point, it would be much better for everyone if one did. There are several reasons for this, but one is more important than the rest of them.

FF16 Set A Precedent For A PC Demo

A Great Demo That Got Players Excited To Play The Game

TheFinal Fantasy 16PCDemo set a high bar for that release of the game. Many fans even said it was the best part of the game, although that is up for debate. Regardless,the demo of this game was the perfect way to get fans' attention, pulling their attention and getting them to pre-order the rest of the game. It also gave them the opportunity to test the game on their system to see if there was any stuttering or lag.

It was a very exciting part of the game,and one that showcased the best elements of that game. It gave players high expectations and gave them an appetizer before the dessert. Any progress players made was able to be transferred over to their actual game once purchased, so there was nothing lost if players chose to continue on. Some chose to replay that part of the game even so, but they had the choice to skip it if they wanted, which is the best of both worlds.
