As a casual gamer - at best - I haven't yet gotten very deep into the wild world of Final Fantasy. Except for Final Fantasy VII. I've tried the rest - none really kept my attention. But Final Fantasy VII, and now Final Fantasy VII Remake, dropped me into a universe from whens there was no return.

Earlier this week, Sony hosted a deep dive into some of the PlayStation 5's hardware. During that presentation, PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny touched on the topic of backward compatibility, but what he had to say didn't leave people feeling very confident that backward compatibility was going to be a priority for Sony in the next generation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has struck Final Fantasy VII Remake - but not in the way we expected.
