- Yelnik, on 12/18/2007, -10/+30PSP...guess I wont be playing this. Funny, I would buy a PS3 to play it but I wont buy a PSP.
- lnxfi, on 12/18/2007, -1/+18Yeah, you have to save the world in that one.
- Frostman3D, on 12/18/2007, -21/+37Final Fantasy VII was story wise the best of all Final Fantasies.
- Kenzan, on 12/18/2007, -0/+15I think televised boxing matches should have hit point text flying off above the combatant's heads.

- Orion682, on 12/18/2007, -0/+12What'd you expect? It's been a PSP exclusive in Japan as well for months now...
- djlspider, on 12/18/2007, -0/+12and meet some friends along the way!
- ilves7, on 12/18/2007, -1/+13Why is gay capitalized? Is it a proper noun? Is there some guy name Gay that you are comparing him to?

"I struck you. Your turn." - Error601, on 12/18/2007, -7/+17Why don't they release a Super Nintendo version while they're at it?
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -0/+10I have the Japanese version of it for my PSP, but unfortunately, I don't ***** speak Japanese. It looks so ***** sweet though.

RE: Bump sales of ps3
Dear Sony,
Want to push the sales of the PS3 past all the other consoles? Then please answer the fans cry and have Square redo the graphics for Final Fantasy VII and release it on your PS3 system. The game has a cult following, and is considered (by many, but not all) to be one of the best story driven games of all time. Instead of wasting your time on sequels and side stories just re-release the game with updated graphics and make everyone happy. Thank you. - ilves7, on 12/18/2007, -0/+9and sometimes summon gigantic creatures to help you out.
- plizard, on 12/18/2007, -7/+15who cares. so when the the ff7 remake coming out?
- CLShortFuse, on 12/18/2007, -0/+8I hope it has a Japanese Audio with Subtitles version like Eternal Sonata did. I have a feeling the English dub isn't going to be as great...
Damn, after watching the CGI trailer, I hope Square intends on remaking FF7 on PS3. After FFXIII is fine, since more experience with their system means better visuals. (Think FF8 vs FF7 on PS1). - inactive, on 12/18/2007, -1/+8Yeah because thats awesome for business, have people sidestep paying $170 for a handheld currently in production, just pay $10 online. Explain that one to the higher ups. Not to mention, the games wouldn't be in HD since its PSP emulation. It would look terrible.
- tfletch, on 12/18/2007, -1/+8Wait...FF6 and FF7 debate. oh boy. Remember, its almost a trend to always bring up FF6 when people were rarely exposed to it. FF7 was a great game no matter what you compare it to.
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -0/+7Who bought it?? I downloaded it.
- neutralinsom, on 12/18/2007, -3/+9March 25th is my birthday. What a birthday gift indeed :-D
- bahamutxd, on 12/18/2007, -2/+8Please, share more of your hardware knowledge with us all.
- ilves7, on 12/18/2007, -0/+5uh, why? As in why the hell would you buy a game you can't understand?
- Ricky8765, on 12/18/2007, -0/+4It was a cruel joke that's for sure. I can see the meeting right now...
Conference room in magical kingdom of Square:
PR Guy #1: "You know what, let's make a tech demo to showcase what we can do with the graphics and processing capabilities of the PS3."
PR Lead: "Alright, what do you have in mind?"
PR Guy #2: "Well, you remember the introduction of Final Fantasy VII, with the train in the city?"
PR Lead: "But we don't have any plans to remake that one and you know what will happen if we show people a remade scene from FFVII..."
PR Guys #1 and #2: "..."
PR Lead: "They will go ***** nuts if you tell them we have no plans of actually remaking it after showing them a tech demo of it"
Evil guy in the corner: "Mwahahahahahahhahahahahhahaaha" - Orion682, on 12/18/2007, -1/+5FINALLY, something other than a mountain of homebrew to put on my PSP :D
- Kr4t05, on 12/18/2007, -1/+5I think this individual attempted some wit by taking a jab at the PSP's loading times. But, due to the fact that he fails at grammar, the point is lost.
Next time, just keep it to yourself. - bffoley, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Final Fantasy was a "household" name in the sense of gamers being familiar with the series as far back as FFIV (FF2 USA) and definitely at FFVI (FF3 USA).
- Namingway, on 12/18/2007, -2/+5I for one am glad to see more rpgs hitting the handheld market.
I played FFXII & enjoyed it, but I would've rather taken it with me wherever I went.
I don't understand why all the animosity toward the psp...sure I will have to buy one to play this, but they aren't 300 bucks anymore & there are a ton of good games out on it. Infact they are 169.99, I think I may go buy one right now... - xdeliriumx, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3It was just a joke numbnuts.
- NuFadZoo, on 12/18/2007, -2/+5I'll be the 20th guy to say it. PSP? That sucks.
- zdiddy85, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Well I won't lie, but MGSPO was quite fun on the PSP.
Too bad the size and shape of the PSP kills my manly hands. - inactive, on 12/19/2007, -0/+3"Make it for the DS, it would sell billions."
And look like crap, have no voice acting, removed summon animations, be turn based and 2d... - xdeliriumx, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3Wait the real FF6? You mean FF3 here? Wait... do you live in Japan? damn numbering system.
- FreddieD, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3WHARRK!!
- shimshamalong, on 12/18/2007, -2/+5I'd love it if Sony added a PSP emulator to a future PS3 update, and then made games like this (and the FF Tactics remake) available for purchase online.
- dyreschlock, on 12/18/2007, -2/+5PSP sales in Japan skyrocketed with the release of this game. PSP was number one in hardware sales for 3 weeks before the Wii topped the charts again.
It'll sell well over here.. - wenomspitta, on 12/18/2007, -0/+3you can date Barret
- vagarach, on 12/18/2007, -1/+4You can probably get a used original style model for ~$100, which is not that bad.
- Orion682, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2I really don't see why you're all so goddamned surprised that it's on the PSP. Why? BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A PSP EXCLUSIVE SINCE THEY ANNOUNCED THE GAME. They didn't release a PS2/3 version for Japan, and they're sure as hell not gonna do it here. At best maybe they'll let you emulate it on a PS3 once their online store takes off, but that's a longshot too.
They want to sell more PSPs, and they will with this game. Don't bitch that you won't buy it, because they said the same thing in Japan... and they did all buy it... in droves. The PSP outsold the DS for 3 solid weeks when Crisis Core was released, and it'll likely happen here too for at least a week or two.
I imagine that by March, their online store will have more PS1 converted games for sale for the PSP (they'll likely release the original FF7 for PSP via their download store in time for the release), and they'll give it a nice firmware update (maybe 3.0 by then) to sweeten the deal. You bitch and moan now but you'll buy it just the same.
And then, after 13, I have little doubt that they'll remake 7 for the PS3. Why? Because the number after 13 is 14. If you're going to make a FF7-2, 14's a nice, easy to remember number. It'd be like a milestone to them, to show off all that they've accomplished between the release of the 2 games.
And for everyone screaming "OMG there needs to be a DS version!1!!ione," please, go look at the screenshots of Crisis Core from Japan and TELL ME that your DS can do that. I have a DS too and mine sure as hell can't.
This is not something new. The console wars have always had exclusives to push a certain platform, so stop acting like this is some new weird ***** that they're pulling. I wanna play Mass Effect but I onyl have a Wii, PSP, and DS, and have no intention of getting a 360. Am I bitching? No, because I'm not surprised that it's not an exclusive. Just like I won't bitch that MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive. Eventually, somewhere down the line, I'll likely get a PS3 for MGS4 and the aforementioned inevitable redux of 7, but until then, I'll live. - Nichiren, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2FFVI storyline was epic. I've always wished that they'd re-make it on a next-gen system.
- theparttime, on 12/18/2007, -1/+3geez so much psp hate here. i loove my ds and nintendo, but i didn't know there was still so much psp hatred going around still. you guys sound like fanboys.
- Kyouto, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2And I actually get to use mine for something other than an mp3 player, wooo!
(I lie, actually I've been playing Disgaea) - vagarach, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2Actually, the PC version came with a software Yamaha synthesizer, and the midi sounded beautiful once it was enabled, absolutely beautiful.
- rulezgetbent, on 12/18/2007, -1/+3i kinda want the side stories...
- cTTbLaKeMAn, on 12/19/2007, -0/+2I used to be an FF7 junkie, i just couldnt get enough of that game, but i was only 11 when i was playing it. I remember the Knights of the Round Table, Golden chocobos, clouds ultima weapon, clouds apocalypse sword, w-summon and w-item materia, ahhh those were the days. but someone fill me in because im all geeked about this. whats this FF7 supposed to be about? I read its a pre-quel meaning before the actual game?
- CLShortFuse, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2i think we will. FF13 is coming along nicely. check out this video: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29007.html
gaming press who have seen more content than the public has said the game seemlessly switches CGI to rendered very smoothly (I remember FF7 was doing this). You can actually spot the difference, it's not all CGI in the video (like parts of the gunshooting scene)
Regardless, I hope they do it on PS3 rather than PSP. I think Sony needs the sales anyway. I don't think many would hold back getting a PS3 if FF7 gets remade - hcl40u, on 12/18/2007, -0/+2I think there is a fan translation in the works with some of the non-story text translated. Or you can check out this guide.
