Final Fantasy 7 Remake Gets A Ps4 And Ps4 Pro Bundle But Only In Japan

Square Enix just announced that it plans to release two different Final Fantasy 7 Remake PlayStation bundles: One for the 500GB PS4 Slim (CUH-2200 series), and one for the 1TB PS4 Pro (CUH-72000). The bad news is that both bundles will be exclusive to Japan.

Each bundle will cost the price of whichever console the player chooses, and both will release on Friday, April 10, 2020. Neither PlayStation will have a unique Final Fantasy 7 design adorning the skin, however. Instead, both consoles will have the usual jet black finish.

Both bundles also include the same things:

• PS4 Slim/PS4 Pro console in Jet Black DualShock 4 Jet Black Wireless Controller Physical copy of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Product code for Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS4 Dynamic Theme “Cloud” Free 1-month PlayStation Plus membership Mono headset Power cable HDMI cable USB cable User guide

Unlike the bundles, the aforementioned dynamic PS4 “Cloud” theme isn’t region-locked – thankfully. Players that have a PlayStation Plus subscription will be able to download it for free, though, Square Enix hasn’t specified the exact date of when players will be able to yet. However, a good guess would probably be when Remake launches, as that’s when the bundles will be releasing.

For those unfamiliar with the Cloud theme, or who can’t picture it, its the one that features the iconic image of Cloud staring down Shinra’s Headquarters with his hand resting on his Buster Sword. The theme features this image for the PS4’s content page and a bird’s-eye view of Midgar on the PS4 function screen.

The bundles aren’t the first promotional items that Square Enix has released for Final Fantasy 7 Remake that are only available in a specific region. The developer also started a campaign happening only in the US. It entails Square Enix partnering with Butterfinger to host an event that gives players the chance to win a dynamic PS4 Tifa theme. When taking this into account, it isn’t that surprising that the bundles will only be available for Japan.

Whether or not they remain that way remains a mystery. FF7 Remake has timed exclusivity on the PlayStation, however, so maybe when it runs out, Square Enix will decide to do away with region exclusivity, too. Though, by that time, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will be out anyway, so the bundles may not have as much appeal to those possibly looking to buy them now in their own region.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake will launch for the PlayStation 4 on April 10, 2020.
