Weird gaming crap enthusiasts GameSnipe recently scored themselves a real, honest to goodness copy of Final Fantasy VII for the Famicom. Much like the recently talked about 8-Bit version of Street Fighter 4, 8-Bit FF VII was made by some of those evil pirates we all hear so much about. Also like 8-bit SF4 (and all other game design atrocities), I both loathe and desperately desire FF VII in it's 8-Bit format. Sure it's awful, but it's rare, and that makes me want it.
Hit the link above for more on the game, or just click here to watch the part you most likely want to see. Warning! Big, scary spoilers for all four of you that don't know the most famous part of FF VII's story.

Unless of course, you're of the opinion that all FFVII had going for it (relative to other FF's) was the transition to 3D. I wouldn't argue to hard against that.
Well, like I said, I'd buy it if I could. But that doesn't mean I'd actually play it.
Actually, 8 would be cool as long as it was convenient, unlike FF1's "you're attacking an enemy that died previously so your attack is wasted" stuff.
I think it's pretty cool for what's essentially just a rom hack.
also, i look at these more as creative then pirated or hacked.
@Colette: It's okay, I think RFGO and the fans will forgive you, but I still disagree.
However chances are if you're going to play the 8-bit version of FFVII then you've probably only doing it for the novelty factor.
I'd probably play it for a laugh
i'd rather have a 16 bit remake that isnt made from used sprites of other FF's or have a uber shweet ps3 remake.
even then i wouldnt buy it.
funny, i just bought FF7 3 days ago to get ready for Crisis Core.
