    You've been waiting years for it, and now the day is here: Final Fantasy VII is available on the PlayStation 3. Happy? What's that? You wanted a remake? Oh, sorry. Keep waiting!

    In all seriousness, Square Enix has dropped Final Fantasy VII International--the improved version of the game that came out in Japan some time after the U.S. release--as a download on the Japanese version of the PlayStation Network. The game will run you around $15, if you live in Japan or feel like setting up a Japanese account in another territory.

    No Caption Provided

    Not the shiny new remake Square teased a few years ago, but perhaps a (tiny) step closer? We shall see. News and image shamelessly borrowed from Kotaku.

    Well, it's the international version. So you can play it if you end up buying it. But why would you pay $15 bux? oh wait, it's Square, and Sony charges publishers per gigabyte.

    perhaps this is a way of square enix testing the waters to see how well received a ff7 remake might be... if this is the case, it seems to be a horrid idea since most of us still have our copies of the original or something.
    just cuz i love the game tho i'll prolly download it when it comes to the North American PSN. we will see.

    Here's to hoping that they bring it to the US. I think that Americans like this game more than the people in Japan.

    If not, I'll just borrow the damn thing from a friend and play in on disc.

    I play FF games normally once and once only . Great fun stories but why would you want to replay it on your sexy HD PS3?

    I'd just buy the old game for pennies if I wanted it.

    Square is saving the FF 7 remake as their "break glass in case of emergency" plan. If they're ever in financial straights, BOOM! Guaranteed cash by the truckloads.

    Bah I haven't played a single ff game for longer than 10 minutes, I don't think I'll ever understand their appeal. I wish they'd just let the franchise die already and make something else, like a new Front Mission that ACTUALLY gets released here >_<

    I have to drop my usual rant hammer on Final Fantasy 7 - I hate everyones obsession with it, both love and hate.  I personally dont like it, not necessarily hate it but it's clearly not TEH GREATEST FF EVER as most young'ings groom it to be.  The thing is though even that is my opinion, I grew in a world where I played video games and most other RPGs prior to 7 such as the previous 6 (or 3 on SNES) and they are way better.  However most people who swear by 7 only started with 7 and it's burned in their minds now, which is too bad.

    Why do people want a remake of a game they loved so much in the past? When you go back and play old games they never hold up and remakes often go poorly wrong. Even if the remake is great the hardcore fans will always say the original was better so tbh noone wins.

    I hope they never remake it.

    I know it's cool to hate on the idea of an FFVII remake, but seriously, it would actually be worthwhile. For one thing, the English story is practically incomprehensible in spots because of its lackluster translation. Of course the translation is no where near as bad as the 80s and early 90s JRPGs, but it needs a lot of work. Most of the dialogue works, but all the stuff about "clones" and "calamities from the skies" needs serious clarification. Just ask the FFVII wikipedia entry if you don't believe me.
