A big Announcement for Final Fantasy VII very soon.

In an interview with Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation, Tetsuya Nomura offers some interesting details about Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete, Blu-ray version of the film out there is already a certain time. Nomura also notes that a big announcement that should accompany the release date, without giving more details. Such vagueness should encourage the wildest rumours.

The quote is incorrect. Here the URL in English http://translate.google.com...
and that's no where to be seen. Don't get your excitement up yet.

Ah, it's been changed, still doesn't match google?

Fair enough, at least now it reflects the google translation or any other I can find. Approved.

It's huge speculation to say it's FFVII, I'll cross my fingers with the rest of you but I'm not so sure.

I really hope so, but most likely they'll just announce they are releasing the PS1 FFVII on the PSN.

Just the thought of an FF7 PS3 Exclusive remake makes me cream my pants. As long as they do just that; leave it as a remake, I will love the game. I just hope they dont change any storyline, leave the materia system as is, ahhhhhhh ff7, I think Im going to start up a new file this weekend!!!

And to those who think that they are milking the FF fans youre completely wrong, it is not all about money, if they remake an FF game and release it on every console including the crapbox then yes its obvious they only care about money, but a ps3 exclusive shows more than just $$$ it shows loyalty and honour

A PS3 FFVII Remake announcement would cause sites across the internet to crash. Humanity could return to the dark steam punk ages.

If you read the article is it talking about the movie. The surprise is the added content for the movie, hence Advent Children COMPLETE.

It doesn't talk about a game or remake of a game no where.

Waste of space.

ohhhh angrybot, if only you have read some of my posts in forums you would see that i have talked about most of what you are saying. oh dont get me started on the 10 million street fighter 2 versions. and dont try and spin what i said into some anti-ps3 post, ("Why is SE always getting the hate. Because they support the PS3?) i only own a ps3, not a wii or 360, so dont draw that conclusion. SE is not getting any hate from me, just a disagreement.

I agree FFVII was awesome but if say MS wanted to Remake Halo 1 with multiplayer updated and MGS4 graphics lol (Yes exagerated CHIll MGS fans just making a point) then it would just be for money and not loyalty because its Halo and MS of course...

GAWD!

Side-Note: Now I see why there are delays to FF Versus 13. The team in charge of CG is working very actively and putting all their efforts into the Advent Children Complete project. It is their priority right now.

no they said its cos they are putting more effort into final fantasy 13 using people from that team, well thts the main reason.

harry190 - 515 days 23 hours ago
2.2 - Both Complete and FF13 actually.
Le réalisateur du jeu confie que l'équipe qui travaille actuellement dessus est très réduite, pour la simple et bonne raison que l'équipe cinématique se consacre surtout à Advent Children Complete et que les programmeurs prêtent main forte à ceux de FFXIII.

I know what I'm talking about.Just read it in its original version.

Its not that hard to believe. It would be AMAZING. Hope they keep some of the humor and not make it too serious. I think the graphics were part of that humor though.

Can i have FF8 too??? I think they're gonna change the gameplay to make it play like Kingdom Heart... i mean, that is how the gameplay of FFXIII will be as we saw in the gameplay videos.

I guess, it started with FF12.

I would actually love a HD remake of FF12. The world of that game was so awesomely star wars esque that it needed a HD console to do it proper justice.

And anything with more baltheir = good

Even if this rumour is false, i still firmly believe they will remake this game for ps3. But like they have said again and again, they need to finish Final Fantasy XIII first. That's all.

I tell you something though, im a big fan of FFVII, as big as they get. But im gonna have to learn Japanese or something because i absolutely hate the english voice acting. You know when you imagine something, and then when you hear/see it, it completely kills the expectations you had? The english voice acting somehow to me sounds NOTHING like the characters should, yet for some crazy reason, the Japanese voice acting sounds EXACTLY how the characters should, even though i don't understand what they're saying. Also, please keep the battle system from the original FFVII, cos the new style sucks. I trust they'll make it great, but i hope they will keep it 'Final Fantasy VII' enough.

I agree a remake will probably happen after they finish FFXIII but how I hope that they announce it soon though. Just to know it is in existence right now would be enough for me.

No it won't, it would just spawn millions of threads why "The PS3 really really really sucks! Believe me! Please Believe me!" or "I'll wait for the FF7 remake on the superior console the Xbox360" or millions of "FF7 will also go to the 360"

Edit: Keep in mind, the disagrees are from the ones who cant wait to post what I just quoted above lol

SCthor, you might win it. Simply because you're putting out PS3 fanboy stuff. Which is the only qualification to be Fanboy of the Week on thebitbag.

If you're a 360 fanboy, you will be totally disregarded.

7 - Interview Translation
In an interview with Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation, Tetsuya Nomura offers some interesting details about Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete, Blu-ray version of the film out there is already a certain time. We thought so far only a few bits of footage had been added, but little information and a complete absence of release date proved to be quite strange. In fact, according to Nomura, these are passages of the whole scenario that have been added and others who have been modified. In the end, the film should win in length and density. The Japanese release date has been decided, but it will have to wait (probably to the event DK Σ3713 in early August) so that it is unveiled. Nomura also notes that a big announcement that should accompany the release date, without giving more details ... Such vagueness should encourage the wildest rumours.

Tetsuya Nomura is also rapidly on the development of Final Fantasy XIII Versus, a topic that had already provoked a general cafouillage a few weeks ago. The director of Thursday confides that the team is currently working above is very reduced, for the simple reason that the team kinematics is dedicated primarily to Advent Children Complete and programmers lend a hand to those of FFXIII. No, really, Versus XIII should not arrive before long ... As a consolation, we can expect to have FFXIII faster.

even if there's a remake of FFVII, I doubt it'll be excluvive to PS3 since FF 1-6 were remade on the PS1 (formally Nintendo exclusives)...

The only problem with that is that Sony holds the publishing rights for Final Fantasy VII in Europe and America. So yeah, I doubt they're going to publish on 360 or Wii in those regions.

The other problem being, Square-Enix would want the FF7 remake to be the best it could possibly be. So that basically rules the Xbox 360 out of the equation

9 - If FF VII does get remaide on the PS3....
..it will sell more PS3's then MGS 4 could. Think about it, the fanbase for FF is larger then MGS, and if FF VII was announced for the PS3 then the PS3's will be selling faster then the Wii could ever sell.

10 - Not A FAKE !!
And it's not , I hope no one minds a newcomer to the board chiming in. I usually try to stick to the shadows since I don't know anyone but skippy here.

On this I've debated and finally decided to get brave. I've been playing FF games since the SNES version and III(I'm pretty sure it has a different set of numbers for the remake though) and no matter how many I play FF VII will always be my favorite.

After playing Crisis Core and seeing the end of it, I kept thinking of how cool a remake would be with the enhanced graphics and all even if I would need to borrow my nephew's PS3 since I highly doubt such a thing would be compatible for the PSP. I've read many of the arguments on how voice-overs could change the game and such and that's true in many ways. Though I'm sure if Square decided to undertake such a job sometime in the way distant future (hopefully before I'm too old to play it) they could figure a way around it.

I'm a french and This article and this translation aren't a fake at all... poor Gameinformer !
