Leave a comment

Square Enix has just released a new update for Final Fantasy 7 Remake. According to the team, Patch 1.004 adds a brand new start mode, as well as a fast-forward function for event scenes.

Going into more details, Update 1.004 introduces New Game – Head Start. When selecting “NEW GAME” on the title screen, you have the option to start the game with the character level and inventory already powered-up. Naturally, there is an option to choose a regular “NEW GAME” as well.

As for the Fast-Forward function, it will allow you to watch the scene without skipping over it, at 1.5 or 2.0 times speed. This will be a must for those who want to replay it.

And that’s it. This is a small update that only brings these QoL improvements. Since SE is now busy with the PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you should not expect any other major updates for FF7 Remake.

Speaking of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, we also suggest taking a look at these other mods for it. For instance, this FOV/Camera Distance Modifier Mod lets you adjust the camera viewpoint to your liking. Then there is this mod that lets you customize the main characters. You can also download an HD Texture Pack that overhauls over 20000 textures. Plus, this mod improves over 530 NPCs faces. Oh, and there are 8K Texture Packs for Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart.

Like always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
