You can now purchase Final Fantasy VII Remake in Australia. This is not a drill, nor is it an April Fool’s joke.
A couple of days ago, Square Enix told us that they were going to start shipping Final Fantasy VII Remake early due to supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19. Since they couldn’t count on discs arriving around the world at roughly the same time, the best they could do is just make sure that games were shipped early in order for them to at least arrive by the time the game was scheduled to release.
However, this meant that certain locations were likely to get Final Fantasy VII Remake early. It turns out, one of those locations is Australia.
In a surprise twist, many stores in Australia received their copies of Final Fantasy VII Remake on March 31 and April 1, but this was definitely not an April Fool’s prank. This is real, and we’re very, very jealous of you Aussies.
Square Enix also asked those lucky enough to receive their copy of FFVII Remake early to keep from spoiling it for everyone else, but naturally there are already a bunch of Australian streamers playing the game on Twitch. For those still waiting for their copy, you’ll likely have to keep away from social media for a few days to avoid spoilers.
The digital version of Final Fantasy VII Remake releases on April 10. Everywhere else will get it sometime around then.
