PS Plus Is Losing Some Of The Best Final Fantasy Games Soon
Sony has updated the Last Chance to Play section of its PS Plus service, revealing 25 titles leaving in May, including several Final Fantasy games.
Final Fantasy 7
The seventh flagship title in the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy 7 was the first title in the franchise to make the jump to 3D and was one of the most successful entries overall. Players assume the role of Cloud Strife, an ex-SOLDIER (a member of an elite military unit) of Shinra, who now lives the life of a mercenary in the slums of Midgar. However, what follows leads Cloud and friends down a massive journey that will pit them against the most powerful SOLDIER, Sephiroth. Sephiroth holds the key to Cloud's memories and the world's destruction, and Cloud and his team are the only ones who can stop him. Final Fantasy 7 was followed up with a part remake/part sequel in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which manages to both retell critical moments of the original story while providing a full sequel to the events of this original title.
