While this is by no means proof that the port is forthcoming, it’s worth holding out hope. If the footage shown in Square Enix’s launch message is evidence of an in-development PC port, it seems that the company plans to have this version of the game ready for as soon as they legally can. Any PC port currently in development couldn’t release any sooner than this date. Final Fantasy VII Remake is a Sony exclusive until at least April 10, 2021. Honestly, the main surprise would come from seeing it so soon. It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to imagine that Square Enix is already working on a PC version of the game.

As such, hopeful fans assume that there must be a deeper meaning behind the choice. It would make sense if the PC footage was more conveniently available.

The real question is why, when editing this message, the marketing team chose to grab PC test footage rather than footage from the commercially available PlayStation 4 product. Square Enix needed to clarify that the footage came from a PC rather than a PlayStation 4 for transparency purposes. The game was built using computers, so it makes sense to test the game on these same computers. It’s worth bearing in mind that this development footage for Final Fantasy VII Remake doesn’t necessarily prove that Square Enix is already creating a PC build for commercial release.
