Wait for it. Wait for it. There! Did you hear it? It was the collective squeal of thousands of Final Fantasy fanboys. The ESRB has let slip a little information that Sony was probably hoping to drop on us at their E3 conference. The listing shows Final Fantasy VII for the PS3 and the PSP, so it looks like FFVII on the go is Go. Hell, they might even be planning to drop the game on Tuesday, the day of their press conference, which would be a nice little surprise.
Obviously, rumors have been flying for a while that Square Enix would be re-releasing FFVII in one format or another. The game is the RPG that made Final Fantasy the name it is today and Square Enix has whored it out to no end. Why it took this long to get it out for download is beyond me. There's no word if anything is going to be revamped graphically or gameplay-wise, but we do know that it will be rated Teen for comic mischief, mild fantasy violence and mild language. If you've popped the game in recently, you're probably hoping they've done a bit of a graphical overhaul, as Cloud's Popeye-like arms are pretty hilarious in this day and age.

I wish it did, but I doubt it will have a visual overhaul.
so, in theory, this could just be the release of ff7 from ps1 on the psn/psp correct?
i dont want it to be, but im trying not to get too excited.
Square if you're going to whore it to us (which we want you to) then do it the right way, remake the damn game, put SOME effort into this at least.
CONFIRMED.....in my dreams. =(
Also their arms always made me laugh.:)
damn...
I'm awating MGS with baited breath, my love for FF started with 9, then 8, so this does not interest me that much.
-Fucking
-Wait
.
Square has remade 1-4, why the hell not the most popular one in the series (my favorite 6 would also be nice but Square seems to despise 6 for some reason).
Oh wait, they already have that. It's called crisis core.
what took them so long?
As it stands, I still replay FFVII once every few years. Most recently on PSP via not emulating it. So really as cool as this is, a graphical over-haul would be ideal.
If it wasnt for the second half of your statement, I'd tell you to take the first half back! :-P
ffvii...whoopdiedoo. give me a worthwhile PS1 FF game (cough8/9cough)
*posting to set it right*
Eh, whatever. The game is just okay anyway, not "bad," but certainly far from "good."
Or, better yet, remake FF6.
My dreams: fixes (that one you-can-see-it-lying-there materia late-game), analog movement (not exclusively, but available)
What of those of us late to the party who paid $80 for a mediocre RPG?
But this should drive the price down for those who want a physical copy of this overrated game
yeah, you totally missed the troll boat.
I doubt they're gonna add or change anything though.
