Final Fantasy VII PS3 Hitting in April

Kombo Writes: "Square-Enix has revealed the first image of the limited edition Final Fantasy VII PS3. Pictured on the right, you'll see the Final Fantasy VII style PS3. Dubbed 'Cloud Black', this PS3 will come individually numbered and packaged with a BluRay version of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. Of course, the real appeal of getting Advent Children Complete on BluRay is the Final Fantasy XIII demo."

[Simon_Brezhnev]

lol im reading headline thinking they bringing the ps1 version to the psn but i was wrong :(

[chaosatom]

Almost forgot that there is FF7 blu-ray movie.

But Seriously, I don't want Square Enix doing FF7 right now. They just haven't Justified themselves to the ps3 owners.

[Panthers]

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THAT MOVIE IS COMING TO US?

Or at least has English Subtitles? I have never seen Advent and I would love to experience it for the first time in Blu-Ray. I would love an english release, but subtitles would be great too.

[Nathan Drake]

Ha,if FF7 was to ever be remade,I'm pretty sure Microsoft would shut down another first party studio to get it as an exclusive

[chaosatom]

here is the reasoning.

If it comes to us, then it should have a demo, right? But then Xbox can't play blu-ray, so it would piss MS, which Square will never do.

EDIT: wait, nvm there are english voice over.

But I can like to able to see some of the Awesome CGI, so i can torrent it and stream it using tversity when it comes out.

[thePatriot]

is as big as the hype for kilzone2 in U.S. if not bigger. and its only a demo

[Panthers]

I might just have to import it IF they have subtitles.

If not then I will wait patiently for a US release. I dont even care about a demo because I will buy FFXIII no matter what.

[incogneato]

super gay. they are milking the ff7 series for all its worth and not giving fans what they really want: A FREAKIN REMAKE

[Bonsai1214]

haha, headline got me excited. trickery... this will heat up sooo fast.

[TheTwelve]

What a tease. I almost had a minor heart attack with this headline.

[Aclay]

@Panthers,

This FF Advent Children Complete will have both English and Japanese Voice overs.

http://www.andriasang.com/e...

[INehalemEXI]

yup, my heart skipped a beat too.

[Sheddi]

Those mother F***ers!!!!
What the hell is wrong with them? Just release FF7 on PSN! IS IT SO F***ING HARD!
(sorry for my bad language but I think u guys understand my feelings.)

[shine1396]

lol...you did your job so bloodly well!!!

hook, line, and sinkered.

[cayal]

"Ha,if FF7 was to ever be remade,I'm pretty sure Microsoft would shut down another first party studio to get it as an exclusive "

They can't, I believe Sony own part of it.

[ppisatosspot]

@Nathan Drake

Micro$oft can never get Final Fantasy 7 as Sony has the publishing rights to it. Its the only Final Fantasy where they have the rights to. They don't have the rights to FF8, 9, 10,11 and 12 tho.

Also considering Sony had a major hand in FF7 you will never see a FF7 game outside the Playstation Brand (besides mobile games)

[SaiyanFury]

Square-Enix loved the PS3 originally. This was demonstrated by the FFVII Tech Demo. But in it's first year the PS3 didn't pan out as S-E figured it would so they went to the 360, with a donation or two from an anonymous company. Now S-E swears no loyalty to anyone, but seems to have a fetish for everything 360. Star Ocean 4 on a non PS console? Considering the last 2 were only on PS consoles, there seems to be something going on. Do they expect Star Ocean 4 to sell more on the 360 in Japan when it has less than half of the install base? Sorry, Square-Enix is a corporation that wants money, and Microsoft have obviously appealed to them in that regard. Squaresoft was a developer looking to develop the best games on a platform. S-E versus Squaresoft; Squaresoft will get my vote every single time.

As for an FFVII remake, Sony co-owns the rights to FFVII as they co-published it on the original PS. So I doubt that a remake could be possible on a non-Sony console.

[Itrguy001]

wow u guys must really like final fantasy 7 huh? i got FF7 on both the PC and PS1 discs

[prowiew]

Ok kool. Now go make a remake of it on ps3

[gaffyh]

Pretty good idea on Sony's part, this PS3 might sell a LOT, just because it is associated with FF7. Although I expected this to say FF7 PSN, but whatever...

[Danja]

This FFV11 SKU looks rather plain and boring but im sure it will sell well in Japan.....but im def getting the advent children Blu Ray , prolly just import it...

[Shadow Flare]

If japan gets advent children alot sooner then europe does, then im getting the japanese copy. I don't understand japanese, i need english subtitles, but i hate the english voice acting so much in that film i would gladly rather listen to it all in japanese with no subtitles. I've seen the film enough to understand what they're saying anyway. The japanese voice acting just for some reason sounds perfect for how i imagined the characters would sound. The english voice acting is awful in my opinion. It makes me cringe. So its japan edition for me

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Doesn't that suspiciously look identical to the gunmetal grey MGS4 Limited Edition PS3?

I paid a gazillion for it, $600+, at the time. Feeling ripped off even more now if they are making one identical to it with a cooler artwork on it....

[elorm9]

Meh, it's just a different colored PS3 with some small image on it :|

[Ichiryoka]

Do you know what the image is?

[Panthers]

Im going to take a wild guess and say Ifirit or Bahamut.

Dont bash me if I am wrong please ;)

[Ichiryoka]

BUt I'm sorry to say thats not right, it has to do with Cloud though, so any one else want to give it a go?

[MattyF]

It's the lion face that Cloud has on his earring and chest.

[Panthers]

I never knew about an earing. Was that only in the movie?

[MattyF]

You'll notice the earring in the movie but I believe he had one in the game but it wouldn't have been too detailed.

[Ichiryoka]

And it's a symbol of Cloud's guilt and regret. As a result of being unable to
do anything to save Aerith and Zack, he blamed himself for their deaths. The
symbolism of the wolf also works in regard to the expression "lone wolf," as
Cloud has chosen to live away from others while he awaits death from
Geostigma. Continuing this line of symbolism, Cloud wears symbols of a wolf's
head and his motorcycle is named "Fenrir," the name bore by Loki's wolf child
in Norse Mythology.

[shawnsl65]

it's what i have on my vest.

[theEnemy]

Is that matte black ?

[Hiruma Youchi]

Title is misleading. And they could do better. Thats kind of lame for a limited edition console. Put some Color on it and Cloud with his sword and other VII Character drawings on it.

[Jager]

Hell, they should of had this
logo on the PS3..

[joeyda]

What about the Final Fantasy XIII log---- oh yea, ooops.

[Nathan Drake]

I sincerely hope remaking FF7 is on your To-Do list

[Panthers]

It should be on their hell yea list. I mean how much would it sell? Honestly?

[Gambit07]

Nathan, I'm betting that MS will and probably is trying to work a deal to have the remake on the 360 and man will they rub it in, if they do.

[cayal]

They can't. Sony published the game.

[3sq]

Because "SQUAREENIX" doesn't have the ability to create new good games.

So far they only made money out of the old creation of "SQUARESOFT" which are REMAKES of SQUARESOFT games, PORTS of SQUARESOFT games and SPIN-OFF of original SQUARESOFT's games.

The pattern is obvious.

[DNAgent]

"Of course, the real appeal of getting Advent Children Complete on Blu-ray is the Final Fantasy XIII demo."

The real appeal of getther Advent Children Complete is watching it in true HD not for some mediocre game demo. Square-Enix has pushed out nothing but mediocre garbage and FF13 will fall right in line with the other games.

[Cheeseknight28]

One problem. Advent Children was the definition of mediocre. There was hardly anything appealing about it, I would even go so far to not even call it a movie, but rather a cheap cash-in to appeal to diehard FF fans.

[sirbigam]

So f@#%$!@ pissed thought F7 was coming to ps3 in april, Dam yu square.

[Timesplitter14]

The headline made me jump out of my seat

[Danja]

yup me 2...im here thinking I would have been able to play one of fave RPG's again on my PS3...from the PSN...

oh well...I hope Sony/SE looks into making this possible rather soon..

and I would love to see FF9 on the PSN also

[DarkSniper]

Another great addition to the PlayStation collection. It's also noteworthy to say that no matter how much Microsoft opens their pocketbook, Final Fantasy VII will never reach their platform in no way, shape, form or fashion. It is a Sony owned IP. Dark Sniper will gladly preorder 3 of these units when released.

$niper

[Shadow Man]

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Blu-ray RIP Will appear in my platform via Ethernet cable.

ps: FFVII did appear in their platform PC.

[kimi_maro30]

but without the ff13 demo

[Rai]

what a cash in.

[Knightofelemia]

Great i thaught Square lifted my spirits by releasing a FF7 remake on the Ps3 but i was wrong. Its just a limited Ps3 for the movie, and to be honest i would not use that I would have used the Buster Sword,or the Meteor symbol with the word Final Fantasy 7 or even an pic of Cloud. I know I will piss alot of people off but i don't like they way the system looks. But I really hope there is a 7 remake since they did Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus. I wonder if Square and Sony will make a bundle when either FF13 or FFvs 13 hit.

[sirbigam]

OMG!! I was so happy I couldn't beleive It made my year dam it!, until I realized it was a F7 PS3 instead, dam you square dammm yu!.

[Aclay]

PS3 sales should be on fire in Japan once the Final Fantasy Advent Children bundles drop, and I definantly see these bundles on Ebay selling for some serious cash.

SquareEnix could probably sell the Final Fantasy XIII demo sepearately for like $20 or $30 bucks in Japan and I bet that it would sell faster than White Knight Chronicles and MGS4 combined.

[i_like_ff7]

ARRRRGGGG!! What a fukin tease!!!

[VMAN_01]

I still think this is a much better looking PS3 than the cloud one.

http://www.psu.com/White-Ya...

[Snow]

That is by far the sexiest PS3 ever created.

[Endless_X]

Bigger pic: http://item.slide.com/r/1/2...

[patterson]

Oh, nevermind... of course they don't add the part about ADVENT CHILDREN.

I guess websites gotta do what they gotta do [to get hits].

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

[invoked]

IT WOULD SELL LIKE HOT CAKES AND ADD HYPE TO ALL PS3 OWNERS WILLING TO IMPORT IT, WHICH WOULD BE A LOT. I doubt they'll do it though.. Microsoft has deep pockets to prevent this.

[Draperc]

I'm pretty sure they'll do a remake of final fantasy vii eventually, just not right now because they're currently working on : Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Star Ocean : The last hope, and more I can't remember.

[I_LOVE_MYSELF]

FF7 on PS3 would suck ass... They could never meet the amount of charm portrayed in FF7 with realistic character models so STFU FF7 n00b boys...

O that PS3 is badass :-)

Put FF7 on the store... Waaaaaaay better than a remake

[cayal]

Fail.

[Itrguy001]

u got it wrong man let me fix that for u. FF7 on 360 would suk ass... oh wait... FF7 doesn't even have a chance on the 360 cause Sony was part of the publishing... and plus Tetsuya Nomura could re make the characters with the charm in his sleep

[shawnsl65]

i want that!~ i'll exchange my shiny black one for it :(

[LinuxGuru]

Wow, nice!

[CaitSith]

I WANT THIS!!!!!!!!!

[Blaze929]

maaaaaan i thought it meant the game was coming :(

[Havocmak3r]

so if I import this blu ray alone, just the movie, is japan region locked so will it work on american ps3? Thanks.

[jav0918]

GIVE US FF7!!!!! I don't want a console where people got together to say lets slap a wolf on it, change the color a bit and sell it with a movie for more.... Give me FF7 and I will pay 1,000 dollars for it bundled with a super hot system.

[HDgamer]

They published it back in the 90's. Funny how they got the right one that can be milked like a 2 doller whore in a strip club.

[40cal]

Man I am looking forward to the Blu-Ray version of this movie. I have it on DVD and UMD and will still be picking it up on Blu-Ray.

Now if we could just get the PSX game on the PSN (so I can put it on my PSP) and a remake for PS3.

[thereapersson]

But then I saw the submission time and the number of comments and realized that It was probably something else. I read the article only to confirm my suspicions.

For shame... :(

[No FanS Land]

Fail. Seriously, there's no square games on the PS3 yet, however they've got the balls to release a limited edition PS3 for a movie? The worst is that i'm sure it'll sell like hotcakes.

[interrergator]

i wish they remade ff7 that would have been really nice

[SAiOSiN]

DAMNIT!!! That's one hell of a misleading title. Anyway...i'm surprised we're getting it around the same time as Japan.

[DwightOwen]

can get just the case. I'd love to have this for my 60 (320) gig, rather than repainting it.

[Lawliet]

IMO the PS3 looks sleek but they could have done better than just pasting a logo on top of the case. Furthermore, I would prefer Leonheart logo since I'm more of a FFVIII fan.

[mll09]

You are not alone.

[Lykon]

I brought the game for my PS2 but couldn't play it , i don't understand. i don't understand this article either. Japan stuff is weird , like pokemon stickers, and dirty girls pants in vending machines etc. none of it makes any sense at all.

[XxBarretxX]

and your stupid pic doesnt confuse ppl

Anyway im buying it

[Droid Control]

Wow...

[AriesFury]

I'll wait.

[Nugundam0079]

A game that wasn't even all that great...

[Itrguy001]

u must be one of them white boys who cant like a classic game like FF7 fcking Genre defining back in the good times

[cmrbe]

expect some major boost in PS3 sales in Japan in April.

[Cheeseknight28]

Japan only, of course!

[NaiNaiNai]

if this is announced state side, ill wait to get my ps3 for this one, i dont care how much i would have to pay.
-nai-

[Nugundam0079]

FIRST off-im not white-2nd off-I standby what I said Final Fantasy 7 was NOT all that great-and at the same time im still a fan-but not enough of one to continually throw my money at Square like others seem to like doing for the same stuff over and over again.

and third what does my race have anything to do with final fantasy?-ya racist
