it would be pretty amazing if this happened. I lost my copy of FFVII and all the ones on sale are way too over priced. once this happens i'm sure the one for PSone will lower in value unless you don't have a ps3.

the thing is squaren enix made the move to maxmise moeny from 13 why would they make 7 exclusive if they were will be prepared to make 13 multi format surely microsoft would buy 7 to, also when would 7 come out since the team is hard at work on 13 then versues 13?

I doubt FFVII will ever come to PS3 and if it does, it won't be exclusive either as Square-Enix is Microsoft's ***** now and their only objective anymore is to make as much money as possible while dealing with the devil.  I'll go as far as to say that it'll become a x360 exclusive.

We are more likely see FFVII on the 360 before we ever see it on the PS3. Square if firmly in Microsoft's back pocket.

psu... you're posting RUMORS now??? wow. slow day.

this would not be a big deal to me as I am not a huge final fantasy fan...but i do hope it happens for those of you that are...

 

PSN:  yungder

This is 100% pwnage

It amazed on PS1, and the original should definitely stay exclusive!!! And the remake better be PS3 exclusive!!!! It deserves it!

I really hope that this happens man what ill do to get that ill get a ps3 right way and with that game and only that game

@ Parker

I wouldn't say that SE is in MS's pocket....Sony owns 9% of SE.

You guys are holding the entire "FFXIII going multi" to heart. Did you guys ever think that they needed more money for something like this to occur? Some of you are taking it personally and now nothing Square does seems right to you. Besides, Square is announcing a PS3 exclusive game, so Sqaure isn't as heartless as you want to believe. As for the article itself, I do believe it is FFVII because they also said the annoucement involved the FFVII Completion series and it will make fans extremely happy. But if its not FFVII, at least we're assured a PS3-exclusive game from Square that I'm sure will own beyond believe! And you may quote me on this.

 Hey, look at this, FFVII is the only game to be published by Sony for a Final Fantasy title of its kind. So how could it go onto xbox. And SONY already hold almost 20% of SE stock so ether way xbox is going to pay sony money.

 

psn id: I95SOUTH

FF7 can jump the river for all I care.......now a remake of FF8 or Xenogears for the PS3 would put SE right back as the star on the top of my gaming tree.

This is good news if Xbox is not involved, but they are rumored to get FFVII on XBLA too, and this FFVII remake is only rumored to be a timed exclusive. ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

umm why are they releasing 7 on xbox? i thought it was published by sony?

The part about FFVII also going to the XBLA is made up by fanboys. SONY are the publishers of that particular game.

Forget FF7 remake FF6!!! and not a crummy GBA remake either!

Sony owns the publishing rights to the original FFVII game; so it coming to XBLA is laughable.

I read somewhere that the SHOCKING FF7 ANNOUNCEMENT was pushed back to TGS?

Anyways, I still own the original copy, and I finished it again a couple months ago, so I might just pass it up.

fingers crossed*** aug 2 eh? cant wait n i hope this 1 STAYS exclusive

psn id: gingo... personally i dont think it will be a FF7 remake, although it could be, but i think it might be kingdom hearts 3 being exclusive to ps3

did I read that Final Fantasy 7 , the ps1 original, is going to Playstation Network AND Xbox Live Arcade? F*** YOU SQUARE!!!!

 woop woop !!!!

no one would give 2 shytz about ff13 on 360 if they make an anouncment about ffVII remake exclusively to the ps3 :) and just like a few peeps on here allready said "SONY published FFVII" not any one else.... 

hey does that mean that the same dude that dirested FFVII will direct the remake (if ther is one)??? if so,then back the fI_Ick off M$ cuz sony's bum rushing you azzh0l3s strait to oblivion. :) 

my friend told me this morning

damn took some time to get to PSU

Squenix appears to be doing so badly that they might as well use they FFVII limit - multiplatform too!

I would jump for joy if the news included FFVII remake for the PS3 and FFVII as a DL on the PSN.

Funny tho, that the XIII announcement all of a sudden has people in the "Oh if it's PS3, it'll be 360 too" mind set - I'm looking at you Pinter.

But had it in the back of my mind that it'll prob be a release of the original as a downloadable via PSN and or Blu-Ray ver of AC coming soon. Something like that.

Ever since the FFVII Tech Demo way back when, there has been the annual plague of "FFVII Remake!!" rumors, especially when Square says they 'have a big announcement.' And guess what? Still no FFVII confirmation.

When/If Square announces it, then we can get hyped. Until then, give it a rest.

IMO 1 game exclusive to the ps3 wouldnt be enough because as of right now 360 is getting SO4(timed most likely) IU(exclusive) LR(timed,multi) FF13(multi)vs the ps3's FF13(multi) FFVS13(exclusive so far). S-E will have to announce at least 3 games to swing the ball back

then LR is being released on the 360 first while we wait till next year but the 360 and ps3 gets the NA version of FF13 at the same time?(i hear a cash register)

and they say they wanna reach a wider audience

Let's see how to swing the ball back to Sony.

Hmm, a FF7 remake will do it, but I put my money on KH3 exclusive and a trtailer with some in-game footage. As far as Microsoft goes, their arrogance will cost them a lot...

FF7 can't come to XBLA, Sony owns its publishing rights.

Alright I'm gonna keep this nice and simple. Sony owns the publishing rights to FFVII so don't expect it to appear on Xbox live arcade if they decide to re-release the PS1 version through the PS store.

 

Also for the person who asked, FFVII was directed by Tetsuya Nomura, the same person who directed FFX and who is in charge of FF Versus XIII, which is still exclusive. Besides that Tetsuya Nomura already confirmed that he's working on another title that is a PS3 exclusive. Now for those thining about Kingdom Hearts 3, Tetsuya Nomura also had a lot to deal with the franchise so it could be that title.

 

For those who believe that Square-Enix is Microsoft's new "employee", forget it. Sure I was shocked and mad afterwards, yet it's a very high possibility that they needed the money, they are a business after all.

 

Lastly if an FFVII remake for the PS3 was made then SE wants the original team to make it and guess what all the key people are working on the three FFXIII titles so don't get your hopes up. Anyway sorry for the long post but I got tired of seeing many repeated thoughts.

We all know a FFVII remake is going to happen sometime. It is an obvious desicion for square. I just hope it remains exclusive. With the way things are going with square enix lately,  it wouldn't come as a surprise if they release it for the 360 too. However, I doubt a possible remake is going to be announced soon

im kinda getting sick of all these ff7 rumours. I mean the game was success, there is no reason to republish it and risk having it messed up. Just be glad they aren't milking the game more then they have.

The news will be that they are indeed making an updated FF7 remake. However, I doubt it will be exclusive to PS3. But who cares really, just as long as square makes it, it will make everyone happy.

Meh, not expecting much from $quare €nix

Unless some serious optimisation takes place FFVII won't be on the PSN...at least not in it's original form.  The PS1 version doesn't run on the PS3 at the moment.  Nor does FFVIII for that matter.

 

So unless square and sony have something big up their sleeves this isn't going to happen.

Enjoyed this game, and will enjoy it again.

you guys realise that FFVII actually came out on windows also and we all no who owns that. also the PS1 version works fine on the PS3 so it could be placed on PSN, and id say only on jap PSN

Since I've never played this game I hope this does happen.  I'll be looking online in August to see the outcome.

 DUDE... WTF MAN??

 

i just recently (like 2 hours ago) put in FFVII in my psx and wen the intro credits rolled it said this..        DIRECTOR:KITASE .. i 4got the first name but thats EXACTLY wut it says... go look 4 yourselves. 

i thought nomura directed it.. if its inthe case that kitase DID in fact direct it,then you can bet your azz us ps3 users are once again fI_Ick3d by $E.

I really really hope it does come to the PS3 - original and exclusive remake because I've never played the original. Also Konami NEED to put MGS1 on there aswell... never played that either lol

XboxLive - WTF - DONT!!!..... it's better be on PSstore only. FF7 belongs to Playstation.

Remake on PS3 = Perfekt

FF7 PSN and Xboxlive is okay~~~

FF7 is out for the PC too, nevermind

If Sony owns the publishing rights to FFVII-FFX then why is it rumored that FFVII will be released on XBL as well? There's probably a way around whatever rights Sony may have or had with those games.

SE's making a remake of FFVII and it will be multi/timed. Why else give xbox owners the original?

It's time we faced the facts: M$ bought into whatever games SE has/had planned for the PS3.

SE sony exclusive i rather see PARASITE EVE 3 than any ff game on ps3 PARASITE EVE 2 was way better than any ff game and who can forget the end boss battle in PARASITE EVE 1 just classic

@ Cloudie.

You aint half based a lot of what you said on a rumour. And an unlikely rumour at that.

@HeartAttckSilv3back

 

Maybe he was in charge of the pc version, if not then he was in charge of directing something within the game.

*yawn

double yawn!!

it would not hurt to put it one XBox Live because sony will get the profit. FF7 was published by Sony and Sony has all rights to the game. I have my original copy and I just started back up on it. I would love for XBox live to get the original version for the simple fact that the remake will be better.

Heh...FFVII on the PS3 would be a dream come true. But I'd rather have SquareEnix put 120% effort into finishing up the Nova Crystallis project with a blast. And THEN comes FFVII Revolution. haha

w/e it is will be good for sony. sounds promising

it could be about genesis

sqaure enix was my absolute favourite developer, i loved them for the games they made, but after this thing bout XIII they can go join TGQ in heII.
