Final Fantasy 7 Remake Explained For Newcomers

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is out now and fans of the series are excited to revisit the world of Midgar. But what about newcomers? Here's why you should check out FF7 Remake, especially if you're unfamiliar with the series.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a huge event for fans of Square Enix's RPG series and anybody who got lost in the game's world 23 years ago.
