FFVII remake rumour returns

Today Final Fantasy VII will celebrate its 10th anniversary. About one week ago the old rumours came back to life again: will there be a Final Fantasy VII remake?

This rumour actually started back in 2000, when people wished for a Final Fantasy VII remake on the PlayStation 2. As we all know, this game has never been released on the PlayStation 2.

Ever since the E3 back in 2005, when Sony finally revealed all the PlayStation 3 details, and they also showed a Final Fantasy VII technical demo for the PlayStation 3. Was this the confirmation of the highly anticipiated Final Fantasy VII remake?

Square Enix never wanted to confirm or deny this rumour so far.

Now the rumours are back again, and Square Enix is expected to announce the title today...

If they are making FFVII for PS3 I think we'll hear about it at E3 or TGS this year. If not, then you can expect that it wont ever happen.

FFVIIFan6319d ago

Square-Enix has redone/rereleased Final Fantasy 1-6 in some form to date. VII is the next in line and its just a matter of when. I honestly hope soon.

Would sell like 15~20 million consoles; it would be epic. Square would be insane not to make it...but then again, there's always the risk of screwing SOMETHING up. They pretty much got all the voice actors they need from Advent Children, and considering the FFXIII team was inspired by AC. . .

It's a strong possiblity. The creator said he's definitely considering it, and I know revamping the battle system would do wonders. It should still be materia-based of course, but match the action seen in Advent Children/FFXIII.

I mean, I still remember how shocked everyone was when Squenix showed their real-time FF7 intro on PS3. Fanboys freaked everywhere.

...i would grab this game in a heart beat if Square Enix ever did do a remake

Antan6319d ago

Im with you on that LLL !

"A PS3 remake of FF7
Would sell like 15~20 million consoles"

ORLY!?!?!

MaximusPrime6319d ago

If Final Fantasy 7 would be released on PS3, PS3 would be outselling the other two consoles. Everybody loves FFVII

Silverwolf6319d ago

a wish become true. FFVII is still my favorite RPG of all time.

Maldread6319d ago (Edited 6319d ago )

Yeah mine too ;) My only fear is if it will end up like FF7 Dirge of Cerberus. If they are going to make this game they need to take their time, and make good additions to the game. More land to explore would be one. More about Vincent would be cool for me ( if you see my avatar that should explain why i guess hehe ).

If this come true, i would be very excited though, so bring it on, Square-Enix.

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda15d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5241d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212141d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5241d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5241d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani41d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum42d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman42d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim41d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

I disagree Batman
