They have no intention in breaking the street date for the digital edition of this game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Original Story below &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week <strong>Square Enix<\/strong> took to twitter to notify the world that certain key locations (The Americas, Europe, and Australia)  would be getting their shipments of <strong><em>Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em><\/strong> earlier (and potentially the game in their hands earlier) due to the unprecedented concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An important message from the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FinalFantasy?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FinalFantasy<\/a> VII Remake development team. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FF7R?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FF7R<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UwBMNaIaXX\">pic.twitter.com\/UwBMNaIaXX<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE (@finalfantasyvii) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/finalfantasyvii\/status\/1244538864263364608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 30, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following this news <strong>Square Enix<\/strong> again took to twitter asking the fans who do get this game early to simply &#8220;not spoil&#8221; the game for people who do have to wait for the official release date of 4\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now something unusual has happened with their <strong>PSN <\/strong>Digital versions. As reported earlier today by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/new-final-fantasy-7-remake-preload-date-appears-to-be-april-3-2020\/?utm_campaign=twitter&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_source=twitter\">Siliconera<\/a>, the <strong>PSN <\/strong>Digital Versions are now having an early install date of <strong>4\/3\/20 <\/strong>instead of the standard 24-48 hours prior to the release date that <strong>PlayStation <\/strong>normally does for preorders. So now the big question on everyone&#8217;s minds is, why are they changing it by a whole week?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The below screenshot comes from from a Reddit user named&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FFVIIRemake\/comments\/fs5u1b\/auto_download_update\/flzq8z2\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=hangouts&amp;ust=1585783106132000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGp5psiZw5ZVgDBL46cLdVMP_bRjQ\">hashtagtylerh<\/a>, which shows the new April 3, 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-03-31-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-03-31-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-03-31-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-03-31-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2020-03-31.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the initial reveal this morning, the news has spread across message boards, reddit, and social media leaving many to speculate that <strong>Square Enix<\/strong> is doing the unthinkable&#8230; and simply releasing the game early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the street date already being broken with some fans already going to social media indicating that they are already playing the game, its entirely possible that <strong>Square Enix<\/strong> is simply leaning into it and planning to drop the game a few days early&#8230; or this could simply be <strong>Sony <\/strong>trying to make sure fans have the game preloaded by the release date due to the reports of their recent <strong>PlayStation Network<\/strong> traffic slowdown. Either way, be on the look out for your digital copies to start downloading as early as this Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em><\/strong> officially launches as a timed PlayStation 4 exclusive on 4\/10\/20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nWere you one of the individuals that preordered a Final Fantasy VII Remake digital copy?
