Final Fantasy VII fans will no doubt be excited for Square Enix's remake when it arrives on March 3 next year, but it turns out that it'll be a timed exclusive until the same date in 2021, as evidenced by brand new box art.

Below is the image from the Square Enix press site (thanks, AllGamesDelta), showing that you can play it first on PS4, with the tiny text in the bottom right clarifying exclusivity:

Some are speculating that this could be indicating a PlayStation 5 release, since the PS5 should be landing in the holidays of 2020, but this seems to be hinting at the game coming to other platforms other than PlayStation.

At the end of November Final Fantasy VII: Remake screens showed us some more of the game, so we're getting more and more information about the RPG slowly, one which is heavily anticipated by fans of Final Fantasy.

Are you bothered by timed exclusivity?
