Square Enix launches virtual art gallery for Final Fantasy VII’s 25th

It’s a fun way to spend an afternoon

In these trying times there are plenty of eggs and virtual experiences to go around: including this Final Fantasy VII art gallery.

As a sort of dual celebration of the 25th anniversary of this one game and the more recent release of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, you can now embark upon a virtual adventure inside of a collection of fan art curated by Square Enix. Just head to this site here, click on the entrance, and away you go.

Upon booting up the Final Fantasy VII art gallery you’ll be granted access to “Room A,” with the ability to swap to Room B, C, or D from the main menu (and toggle background music). Clicking on each exhibit will zoom in on the photo and present the artist’s name in Japanese. You can scroll through the exhibit like you’re “walking” down the hallway, or let the screen automatically flow from one side to the next: and then the subsequent room, in order. Square Enix noted when launching this exhibit that there are “40 works” from around the community, and “not all works could be exhibited.”

It’s an absolutely lovely way to spend a bit of time, and Square Enix picked some great pieces here. Many of them look like straight-up official promotional art, and if you want to spread the love, you can click on the heart symbol below each piece to essentially upvote it.
