Surfer Girl: Square Enix Remaking Final Fantasy VII for PLAYSTATION Network

According to Surfer Girl, on January 14, 2007 she revealed that Square Enix is remaking games for the PLAYSTATION Network.

Today, in the comments section of one of her posts, a questioner asks how Square Enix will remake their games, and what games. Surfer Girl responded "Primarily graphical touches. I hear FF7 (again, not in that rumored all-out remake fashion that has been mention)."

If anything, I'd take both Final Fantasy VII on the PLAYSTATION Network and a full-fledged remake. If one, I'd go for the full-fledged though.

I have a hard time believing anything Surfer Girl says... Seems like he/she likes 'confirming' unannounced projects left and right to increase his/her popularity with gamers/gaming websites...

Who knows? I hope it's true, though I'm not holding my breath...

I was a long time skeptic too, but (s)he WAS correct about Resistance 2, even posted up diagrams of the classes and their equipment and the mission structure. Treating this as a normal rumor still though.

...I'm alittle upset about this. I really don't want them to waste their time on a "half-assed" version. I want the total remake like the trailer from E3 05. I still have the PS1 FF7 disks. It's time for the real deal Holyfield!

While I would of course prefer a ground-up remake, if this is true it'd make for the first (and only?) PSN title I purchase. Hopefully those "graphical touches" make the game at least bearable to play on the PS3: redo the character models, upgrade the environments a bit, nothing too durastic.

8 - Doubt it.

Why would square-enix only make the FF7 remake on PSN(unless it's just FF7 upscaled to 1080p) if they could release a retail version and make millions upon millions like they usually do. The FF7 remake (and it's eventually going to happen) is way to big to be only put on a download service. We're talking about the same company that remade FF1 and FF2 dozens of times with minor upgrades.

They could just make a half-assed remake on the PSP using the same pre-rendered backgrounds with some new character models and make even more money (which is what many of the old FFs have been subjected to).

I used to think it was..."ahem" Initials are J.R., worked on Assassin's Creed...Yep.

But now I think it's a journalist who set up this anonymous blog to pass along information.

15 - I hope it's true

With every FF I've had, I've always lost a disk. For FFVII it was disk 2, bought it again lost disk 3. For FFIX I lost disk one(dreaded times I spent craving that game!) and I ordered a new one, lost disk three. Not that the second time around losses really mattered, point is I'm terrible with keeping things organized!

I'd love to have FFVII and FFIX on my HD. I never had the chance to play FFVIII, hope I can through PSN.

If Square-Enix remakes FFVII it won't be an lazy attempt to make money they know how much this game means to fans.

I wouldn't rule out a PSN remake just like with Warhawk they can release this on both Blu-ray and PSN.

Honestly all I really want out of the remake other then the graphical update is full voiceovers, reworked CG scenes and the Active Time Battle they used X-2 oh and of course more side-quests and stuff.

Sarick - 722 days 4 hours ago

22 - Why!

Why would I buy a remake that isn't full fledged if I still own the original PS1 and PS2 versions?

Square, common sense here remakes should be done for todays technology. If you look at the movies industry when they did the movie "The Fly" it was in black and white. The remakes where in full color didn't reuse old clips or sounds. This seems like being lazy and to cheap creating shovelware for the masses.

So before you "remake" FF7 make it like the bionic man better then it was before. Most newage gamers want a good RPG and keeping it classic doesn't fit with everyone. Make it nextgen and you'll have more newcomers being attracted to the history without being turned off by the old classic look.

Before anyone thinks I want the gameplay changed the answer is no. I just want it to be remade in this generations excellence. To keep things simple unless, the remake is full blown I really don't see myself investing money in it on the PS3. Back when I bought the FF collection for PS1 things where different because it was NES & SNES to PS1.

....I dunno what to make of this. I'll buy it, definately, if its true. But i was hoping for an all-out complete remake. This for me is the ultimate game, it deserves the ultimate remake using the ps3's power. I dunno about just 'touching up' the graphics. Mmm, well at least the gameplay mechanics and battle system won't be touched. I just really want them to completely overhaul ff7 with the ps3 cos i can't imagine how awesome it would be

The Golden Saucer, the submarine, imagine the water effects with the tiny bronco sailing, the Highwind landing, the limit breaks, the characters that would look like their from advent children, and the summons...damn. The summons would look incredible. And with real orchestral music. Thats why i frickin want this game completely remade

well all the ps1 games on psn are playable on psp, so i couldn't see this being different to be honest. However if they are 'touching up the graphics' then i suppose they gonna make it HD and what not, so i dunno how that would translate with the filesize and whatnot. But its not impossible

You realize you can already play ff7 on your psp, although you can only (officially) do it using the ps3's remote play. Pop the ff7 disc in the ps3 and via remote play you can play ff7, along with any ps1 game. Although the game is never actually on your psp. Unofficially, with homebrew software you can rip the game itself onto the psp

25.2 - well...

i don't have a ps3, so i can't do the remote play, but i would be interested in ripping it to a psp... i still have the original copy of the game, so getting a back up of it would actually be great.
