Square Enix’s classic Final Fantasy VII has been re-imagined as a 2D side scroller by a group of ambitious fans.
Check out the official blurb (via AotFB) on the project, titled Final Fantasy VII: Re-Imagined, below and have a gander at a video to see how it’s shaping up.
“Final Fantasy VII: Re-Imagined is a project made by fans of the original game. We re-imagined how the game would be like if it’s an action game.
"Classic 2D Side-scrollers, such as Dragons and Dungeons: Chronicles of Mystara, Streets of Rage, etc, came to our minds. We thought about how we can incorporate some of the FFVII game play elements, such as Materia and summoning of Guardian Force into a Hack and Slash genre. The result is what you can see."
Of course, Final Fantasy VII is getting a full-on remake from Square Enix, which was revealed for the first time at Sony’s E3 2015 press conference. No release date has been confirmed as of yet.
In addition, an HD port of the PC version will hit PS4 later this year.
