Square Enix has finally released the long-rumored Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo on the official PlayStation Store.

　　Back in December of last year, a demo for the Remake became available through the PlayStation Store, and while not made publically available, the demo was thoroughly datamined. Neither Sony nor Square Enix officially commented on the release of the demo, but now, 2 months later, the official demo is available for download.

　　We've just released the free #FinalFantasy VII Remake demo on PlayStation Store.
