For those that haven't played the original, do just that and forget everything else related to FF7 that came after.
You'll thank me.

yesn't
Yes in the sense that it's an official update on the status of the title.
And they're confirming they're on track and according to plan (next winter) and they're now trying to decide on a precise release date.
I guess late January 2024.

Mostly true to the original..??

It follows mostly the same story beats, while expanding on characters backstory, and introducing new scenarios and new characters. I've seen some say it's a sequel but I see it as a reimagining.

Please announce the release date of the release date.

Yes, but also, it's not actually a remake. I would not be at all surprised if Rebirth starts to do a hard swerve away from the story of the original and leans heavily into the "this is actually a sequel" angle they were establishing in Remake.

THIS ISN'T NEWS KEK
Are clearly not the same people populating this site ten years ago, when the updates we'd get on Versus XIII were essentially "Yeah, that's a thing that DEFINITELY exists and is being worked on!" packaged into a different sentence every year.

More like a general retelling.

They aren't going to reveal more info on this game when 16 is releasing soon. We probably won't see more until 2024

Clive does strike me as like...a default character option in an MMO.
Square (mostly Nomura) has classically gone way too far the other direction, but there's a Line between Marche from FFTA and main characters looking like NPCs from FFXII.

Will they take the grunting to the next level?

Very good.
1. Remake - 2020
2. Rebirth - 2024
3. Re......... - 2027-2028 as a end of current gen game
They've already began work on the 3rd and final installement since early-mid last year, as per the developer commentary when Rebirth was announced in June 2022.

I don't think 2023 was ever a possibility since Next Winter spans into 2024 anyway.
March 2024 is my guess.

the first part of remake is already 5x better than the entirety of the original.

Did you play it? It's not a retelling. It's a sequel.
It's very clear in FFR, that the events in FFVII DID happen, in another timeline, but those events are changing. The ending basically flat out says that the ties to destiny (the FFVII we know) have broken and anything can happen.
Exactly. People still acting as if this is a one to one remake is strange. FFVII Remake is a full game on its own. FFVII Rebirth is a completely new RPG.

To me it sounds like the game is pretty much done & they are ready to pull the trigger for any date.
They are just waiting to see what other companies announce at Gamefest & Nintendo’s release dates so they can pick a date where no other AAA games will interfere with their sales.
