    Destructoid is reporting on a rumor reported on by a site called psxextreme who is claiming somebody inside Playstation Lifestyle said an original version of FF7 would be coming out on PSN....and XBLA. Seems a bit tough for me to believe that it would be on the 360, seeing as how it was a playstation game originally. But hey if it does come out I'm buying it, anybody else interested?

    You need to not make your text that shade of black, it's pretty hard to read. My thoughts on the chance of getting FF VII XBLA is cool but then I would have to buy a strategy guide off eBay, as a completionist I need to get everything.

    People always say that. It's not the same. I'd rather look at a nice, glossy, detailed page with pictures then some printed out piece of shit.

    I would love the offer of FFVII on XBLA as none of my Ps discs work now...
    Yet the chances? Up in the air now after FFXIII is being released on the 360.

    That's a great point. I think I would buy it either way, but I'd greatly prefer it to have a graphical upgrade. I don't want to play it in a small window surrounded by some fancy border on my TV.

    Normally, I would agree.  At this point, I bet the fan walkthroughs are a LOT better than the "official" one, though.

    As one of those "darned hooligans who don't know the classic games", I'd download FFVII if it came out, since I'm into the turn-based stuff, and after all, there must be some reason as to why almost everyone acclaims it as one of the best games on the PS.

    I think the chances of that rumour being true could be higher than people give it credit for, since when FF games started coming out on the GBA and DS, rather than sticking to the Sony products for their earlier games, they remade the first few.

    But that little kid inside is psyched for the chance to play a Final Fantasy game again, since I sold my PS2.
    But Microsoft better not ruin it by putting those little banners either side of the screen, like on Soulcalibur, or by putting really gimped achievements, like "use 1000 potions", or "Defeat boss 1", "Defeat boss 2", and so on.

    I doubt it will fit the memory constraints that XBLA has. I mean 4 discs and the fmv's and that's if they don't HD it.

    I'd buy it, but I don't see how putting it on XBLA is possible.  I mean, the game spans four discs and the XBLA cap right now is 350MB.

    If he feels the game is overrated he is allowed to state that, you don't need to be so defensive about it.
    I also think Final Fantasy Seven is overrated, that doesn't make me a bad person. I own it it's a good game but I don't get why so many people think it's one of the greatest games of all time.

    I don't know why, but I can't stand not having a hard copy of any game.

    The only games I have which isn't a hard-copy is Counter Strike: Source.

    Just a collector thing I guess >_>

    Microsoft doesn't decide what the achievements are in third party games and they don't decide what aspect ratio third party arcade games are going to be.

    Final Fantasy VII is my absolute favorite game of all time, all things considered, but I'm not sure about this (even though I don't believe the rumor, personally). I don't like the idea of even remaking it, as a lot of the game's charm would be lost.

    I'm up for a re-release on XBLA (strange idea), but I don't want another Crisis Core (which I found to actually be incredibly linear and overall ineffective).

    I might buy it, though I would probably get it on PSN before anything due to the fact it would most likely also work on the PSP. Also, I just find it odd that FFVII would be put on 360 in general, though since the XII announcement, who knows. We could see older FF titles also hitting XBLA. Just have to wait and see I guess.

    I know I am going to be called crazy for this one, but seriously I didn't like FFVII it just run of the mill to me, Maybe because I played it a few years after it came out and also had a lot of the plot ruined by friend and fanboys.

    I will try it agin but that is about it

    FFXIII is coming out, so although I don't think it will happen, I'm not going to shoot down the rumor just yet.
    PSN seems obvious, XBLA seems impossible.

    No man, The place to do it would be at the weirdly named show by S-E. However, I just don't think it will happen, In fact, I think I read somewhere that the S-E president came out and said that it's not a FF7 remake, But I never verified the source or read the whole article, I think it was somewhere on N4G.

    Don't be stupid. This was a game ON THE PLAYSTATION- BY SQUARESOFT. Live Arcade wasn't even made for things like this- It might not even fit on Live Arcade. Why would they remake the entire game, but keep it small enough to fit in the Live Arcade restrictions? What kind of company would think that was a good idea? This is so crazy- I can't believe anyone would fall for it.

    IT WAS ON THE PS1 FOR CHRIST SAKE.

    Yeah, because those games are for the XBox- So they've got their own set of rules.

    Unless you're saying they're gonna make a section called Playstation 1 Originals.

    No, im saying Microsoft would obviously know how big this is for gamers, and would cater for that.
