Final Fantasy 7 update isn't updated with microtransactions

Final Fantasy 7's new PC version comes with a "Character Booster" that lets you inflate your characters' HP, MP, and Gil. That seemed like the perfect place for a microtransaction system, but that isn't the case, Square Enix told Kotaku.

"No, the Character Booster will not cost real money to use," a Square Enix representative confirmed to the site. "We'll have final pricing info on the game to share soon, but we can confirm that there will be no microtransactions for the upcoming rerelease of Final Fantasy 7 on PC."

Boosting your characters will still cost you, but only time.
