Today, Square Enix revealed a bunch of new Final Fantasy VII Remake screenshots, as well as some new details.
The major focus of this update is the Wall Market area and the Honey Bee Inn, although the post starts out with new images of Tseng, including his render.
From there it details Don Corneo and then several new characters. Andrea Rhodea, who was shown in past trailers, is the owner of the Honeybee Inn, as well as a dancer. He has “the authority to approve women for Corneo’s auditions.” The next new character is Leslie Kyle, who works for Don Corneo. Next is Madam M, a woman who runs a hand-massage parlor in Wall Market and also has the authority to approve women for the don’s auditions. Finally, the last new character introduced is Chocobo Sam, a Wall Market Chocobo handler and gambler who can also approve women for the auditions.
That repeated mention of characters who can approve women for Don Corneo’s auditions strikes me as a pretty interesting detail. It makes me wonder if you’ll need to pick one of the three to impress in order to see Corneo.
Of course, it could make you meet all of their approval or simply a world-building detail, but right now I’m imagining a scenario where you do quests to help out Andrea Rhodea, Madam M, or Chocobo Sam in exchange for being approved.
The next section of the post talks about Barrett’s combat abilities and the Enemy Skill Materia, which gives you a chance to learn enemy abilities.
And then it’s on to more beautiful, dazzling screenshots!
Several screenshots of Wall Market, the introduction of the Corneo Colosseum, and of course several screenshots of the Honeybee Inn, as well as Tifa, Aerith, and Cloud all dressed up round out this section of the article.
All of these areas look so beautiful, and I can’t wait to explore them in-game.
The final screenshots are of the Beginner’s Hall, the new Jukebox feature that lets you play songs you acquire, and the Leviathan summon.
Final Fantasy VII Remake looks great, and now it’s less than a month away. I’m excited to see what the rest of the game has in store (and I was never even a big fan of Midgar). What do you think about the latest Final Fantasy VII Remake screenshots and details?
