FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE ART BOOK UPGRADE
The next-gen upgrade will include a host of new graphical bells and whistles, and fans are especially looking forward to the advent of Yuffie. Most notably, Square Enix plans to launch FF7 Remake Intergrade this summer on PlayStation 5. Western audiences may have to wait a little longer for the Material Ultimania launch, but at least there's more Final Fantasy on the way in the coming months. It's worth noting that though Square Enix's website boasts the following cover image for the hardback copy, the art is not official. In addition, the artbook features song liner notes from the sound team, cutscene storyboards, and Q&A interviews with Japanese voice actors. The more than 300-page compendium packs in never-before-seen art, CG character assets, illustrations, enemy designs, and more accompanied by commentary from development staff.
Set to release on December 7, the hardback edition will run fans $39.99, while the digital edition bears a $25.99 price tag. The Square Enix Manga and Books website features the first details about the English version of Final Fantasy VII Remake: Material Ultimania.
