That pretty much confirms it right there.

If that doesn't convince you, Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Complete releases the same day as Sony's E3 conference.
Hmm, Square released FF7 International on PSN the same day they released the FF7:AC Complete in Japan.

Plus, It wouldn't be Complete without the Main Game, FF7, Right?

@Panthers:

We do know that one of Kojima's announcements is a new Metal Gear for PSP. It was mentioned in the Qore Episode 13 PSP Go! feature.

I just hope it isn't JUST a Metal Gear for PSP. Because all that countdown and ridiculousness for a PSP game? And those awesome high-res, high-detail renders of the boss and the cyborg ninja don't really seem to correspond with a PSP game in my opinion. And I don't see how that mask could fit in with a PSP Metal Gear, either. So we know there's a PSP Metal Gear on the way, but I'm pretty sure Kojima's got something else to announce also.

Hey seriously! Are you all thinking that this is the biggest announcement that sony had to do? I'm sure sony won't even talk about it at E3, let alone Square-enix. Maybe they will, but I don't think they're putting their hopes on a 12 years old PSone game.

Troll gay2, ermm , jay2 is very funny. I very much doubt Sony is going to "waste" conference time talking about such an old game. They have too much stuff to show off, so pre-E3 we got HR, Trico and UC2 videos. Those 3 games are enough to warrant an awesome presentation, but Im sure there is A LOT more.

Tomorrow is MS turn. I guess you are prying for something good :D keep your fingers crossed.

Btw, this game coming to NA PSN is amazing news for me. I'm done with FFVII:CC and FFVII is the natural "sequel" :D. Color me happy

I told you guys about this over a month ago. FFVII, RE Directors Cut, and MGS all coming to the PSOne.

We got a lot more games coming other than that. Expect a huge portion of the PSOne library to eventually be available.

Because of the PSP Go's all digital model Sony is dedicated to bringing as much digital content as possible so the device has a software lineup when it launches.

OK, now there is no way that a re-release of a game more than a decade old and some breaking PSP news were going to be the big reveals of Sony's press conference. This nor the PSP Go info have anything to do with new PS3 games, and Sony's biggest news HAS to be PS3-related. So if they can make it through today and tomorrow without any more of these leaks, then their conference should still hold some surprises!

Final Fantasy VII is one of the many influential titles that forever changed the way games are played. It's no coincidence that this is only found on PlayStation consoles. With PlayStation, you have an enormous lineup of over 1000 AAA titles at your disposal that spans back to a decade and a half.

When you think of RPG's, you think of Final Fantasy VII. When you think of Final Fantasy VII you think of PlayStation. Which is why Square Enix's biggest blockbuster can only be done with the collaboration of Sony. With both companies working in perfect conjunction with each other, the Japanese market strengthens as Square realizes that in order to succeed, you need Sony.

Xbox 360 will never see light of a title of this legendary stature. Nor does it deserve to. Dark Sniper can guarantee you that Final Fantasy VII's PSN game will sell more copies than Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey combined.

If you want RPG's, PLAYSTATION®3 is the premiere terminal to suit your needs. Not only for RPG's but for all genres.

Well, Spoony, in all fairness to the people who are upset that Square-Enix's new self-professed multiplatform approach is completely ignoring the PS3, this release doesn't indicate any love from Square-Enix either. Because SCEA owns the U.S. publishing rights to FFVII, and they're the ones bringing it to the store. Square-Enix has basically nothing to do with this.

Actually, they'd still need Square Enix's approval. They can't just publish it. Plus it's on the Japanese store already so Square Enix have put it on their.

Plus they can't own all the rights to publish it in the US considering both Eidos and EA have published it in the US as well.

So this isn't just Sony.

@V: Squaresoft doesn't exist any more but Kitase, the writer and director of FFVII is still in Square Enix as is Nomura, who designed the characters.

Technically Mistwalker is the Squaresoft you once knew adn they're not supporting the PS3 either.

Well bubbles to you too. I really wasn't looking for a fight because I think SE should be supporting the PS3 but the reception to their PS3 announcements hasn't exactly been good.

It's been pretty much no thanks to Nier(which I'm looking forward to), Front Mission Evolved(which I'm skeptical about), FFXI(which I think it's nice that they're giving PS3 owners a second chance to get it) and Rapture.

Most the complaints still seem to be about The Last Remnant though and I think Takai shouldn't have been dishonest.
