It's been a long time coming, but Square Enix finally unveiled a renewed version of Final Fantasy 7 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/final-fantasy-7) ... 's motorcycle mini-game from the RPG's Gold Saucer levels. Final Fantasy 7 G-Bike is a free, mobile "action chaser" inspired by the chase scene from the 1997 PSOne game, in which the hero Cloud Strife slashes at enemies with his enormous sword while ripping down a highway on his motorcycle. The obstacle-avoiding, sort-of-endless-runner will include undisclosed in-app purchases, though it does feature classic monsters, familiar techniques from Cloud's arsenal, boss battles and a weapon customization system.
Those hoping for a full mobile version of the cherished RPG, outside of its availability as a PSOne Classic on Vita, may recall producer Takashi Tokita's assertion in October (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/14/final-fantasy-7-on-mobile-years-away/) that the game is years away. Final Fantasy 7 was re-released for PC in August 2012 (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/14/final-fantasy-vii-returns-on-pc-for-real-this-time/), followed by Steam in July 2013 (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/05/final-fantasy-vii-materia-lizes-on-steam/). Final Fantasy 7 G-Bike is in development for iOS and Android.
