The Final Fantasy Info [Rumor]

Final Fantasy VII will be getting a "new" version of the classic game from the massive franchise and it will be exclusive (for now at least) to the PLAYSTATION 3. It is unclear whether a new version will be a simple remake or an extension to the original like Crisis Core, and if it will be a Blu-ray release, or on the PSN.

1 - FF7 remake is coming exclusive to ps3, not the ps1 game, which is coming to both PSN and XBL.
By the end of FFX13 or Versus, the team will be prepared to handle FF7.

In a few years time, Ps3 games will start redefining the gaming industry.

Edit below: Maybe they don't see the point of making FF7 exclusive to PSN network because they can gain more money by giving it to xbox consumers.

i thought FF7 was produced by Sony? i could be wrong. if thats the case how is it going to be on XBLA? if it wasnt then by all mean. the more people to play it the better.

EDIT: ok it was produced by sony in PAL and the US but Square everywhere else. to this should get really interesting.

I hope it is a full release... Thank you SQUARE!!! a sequal sorta thing would be kinda betta than a remake in a way, cos then you dont risk fans of the original slating it after having such high expectations.

If Sony had made VII theyed probably have bought the FF franchise with the money they would of made. and FFVII remake would probably been a launch title lol.

Maybe Microsoft had to pay Sony for it to be on XBLA. But I don't see how it can fit with XBLA's size limit since FFVII was a 4 CD game. But I don't believe it until Squeenix announces it.

I don't see the PS1 game coming out on XBL a few reasons:

[1] The PS3 already emulates PS1 games, so Square wouldn't have to do much to make the game work on the PS3, whereas on XBL they would have to rework the ENTIRE coding or MS would have to make a PS1 emulator (which would be illegal for them to do)

[2] XBL has a file size limit, and FF7 is 2.8GB in size almost (although this could be reduced by removing duplicate textures but not much). PSN has no limit.

[3] I'm pretty sure that Sony owns FF7, as in they published it so they own the rights to it (I don't know how that works, but that's what I heard). And if they own it, I seriously doubt that they would knowingly hand over such a game for any amount of money.

So overall I call bullshit on ths story, all these are predictions (although it's likely that a remake and more likely that a sequel to FF7 is coming).

I thought I was kidding when I said 7x2=14 (FFVII direct sequel=FFXIV), but now it seems highly probable!
Square usually reveals the next installments of FF way ahead anyways...

I can't wait till we get confirmation on a remake. The original should have been on PSN by now as well as FF8. tsk tsk @ Squeenix/Sony for being so tardy with these masterpieces.

1.10 - I have this to add
Publishing deals expire after a certain time period. has anyone considered the reason squeenix has delayed a remake this long because they want to publish their IP on the platforms they choose?

1.11 - Correct Me If I'm Wrong...
I don't have full knowledge on the subject, but doesn't Sony own half of the rights to FFVII? Even if they don't I highly doubt a VII game would ever end up on any other system.

Is it just me, or does it seem that ever since FFXIII went multi-plat every xbox lover seems to think that every single announced and unannounced PS3 exclusive will end up on the 360?

I think you are right. Sony want to milk this cow in so many ways possible. But without it hurting the PS systems. So I am saying is, Sony owns FFVII (yea, that's right) and as such, they are taking precausions before releasing it on an other platform than the PS brand?

Dude, you don't need a website to make an informed guess.

SE show clear demand for the western market and western dollar, all the rumours and speculation show a clear demand for a remake, SE have a engine at there disposal, good chance for a "low" production cost and high profit. SE would be foolish to be at least not considering it. The point is, the rumour is old. Nothing changes until the rumour becomes fact.

ps. Id like it to be true to, I know this game was special to a lot of people.

but i think Mr hirai would jump off a bridge before he let ms get their hands on ff7. but there is one thing that makes me a little weary is how they are gonna handle the combat system i personally want the same exact game with new visuals and voices that's it

6.4 - Before Crisis???
The story about the Turks was not for Sony platform. Maybe a Sony Ericson phone could play it, but not a Sony exclusive. Also, there is a PC version of FFVII, correct? A port of the PC version to Xbox may be trivial.

Umm, the reason I doubt this, is they state that FFVII the original version, will be making it;s way on to PSN and XBLA...

I didn't think this was possible, considering Sony published FFVII, so would have some rights to where it goes?

Exactly, Sony own the US/EU publishing rights for FFVII. It may come to PSN, XBLA is unlikely.
