Rumor: Amazon Changes Dates For Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Dragon Quest 7 & 8 3DS

Care to wager when the PlayStation 4 remake of Final Fantasy VII will be released? How about the Nintendo 3DS releases of Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest VIII? Amazon apparently has some idea.

As of right now, they are taking pre-orders for the game, with a placeholder date of December 30, 2016. It seems unlikely that the highly anticipated remake would release at the last day of the year, compared to, say, around the Black Friday holiday period. So, it’s more likely that Amazon believes the game will be out before 2017.

Previously, Amazon actually listed the game for a January 2, 2017 release. Of course, details are scanty on the game‘s development and progress, so we wouldn’t have a way to gauge if this is likely or not publicly.

Now here’s where it gets interesting. A fan commenting on NeoGAF revealed he received communications regarding his preorders of Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past and Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. To cut a long story short, these have also been moved to December 30, 2016.

For these Dragon Quest games, it’s easier to believe that we’ll get them before 2017. They have been out in Japan for some time already, and so Square Enix would only be working on localization.

When do you hope these games will release? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
