Square Enix sure knows how to rile up the fanboys, let’s put out a single remastered section of Final Fantasy VII and make it a mobile endless runner! And thus Final Fantasy VII G-Bike was born which the only silver lining is that it’s free to play the black crude that’s inside however is the in-app purchases.
For the hardest of the hardcore Final Fantasy VII G-Bike will supplant the minigame from the Final Fantasy series right onto their mobile device, iOS or Android, allowing them to maneuver Cloud Strife and his gigantic motorbike through the world slashing enemies and collecting items.
If Square had teased this was merely a test to see how HD-fying Final Fantasy VII was going we might loose a whole continents worth of gamers who would outright explode with joy at the thought of their dreams finally coming true. But no, no such announcement was made, it’s just Final Fantasy VII G-Bike, take it or leave it… At Blistering High Speeds!
