The official Xbox Brazil account recently shared an image to commemorate Father's Day, showcasing various video game protagonists and their children. However, the image, which has since been removed, included Barret and his daughter Marlene from Final Fantasy 7 Remake, a game not presently available on Xbox platforms.
Speculation among fans quickly arose, with users asking, "Are we finally getting Final Fantasy VII Remake on Xbox?" Similar sentiments were echoed by others, who inquired, "Will there be an FFVII Remake Announcement at the Tokyo Game Show?" Given that the Tokyo Game Show is imminent, starting on September 21, and with Xbox's confirmed participation, the possibility of such an announcement seems reasonable.
The excitement surrounding the potential addition to the Xbox library could also be attributed to Xbox's recent commitment to strengthening ties with Square Enix. During a surprise live announcement, Phil Spencer expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We look forward to building on the relationship that we've established by bringing Final Fantasy XIV to the Xbox, and working closely with you and the Square Enix team on future games."
The inclusion of Final Fantasy VII Remake in the image can be seen as a misstep by the Xbox Brazil account. The account itself is not highly regarded within Brazil, with a history of frequent errors that have led people to question its credibility.

Additionally, Xbox later clarified that the inclusion of Final Fantasy VII Remake in the image was a mistake. A spokesperson from Microsoft acknowledged the error, explaining that the title was not available on Xbox. This clarification dampened the immediate hopes for the game's release on the platform.
Nevertheless, the prospect of Final Fantasy VII Remake eventually arriving on Xbox remains plausible. As eager Final Fantasy fans await further updates, discussions on the topic continue to flourish.
