Square Enix reopens talks on a PS3 FFVII Remake
Category: PlayStation 3, Posted: 09/07/2007 at 01:42PM CDT by Kelly Ng, Contributor
When the PlayStation 3 was first announced in 2005, they dazzled the world with a jaw dropping demo of a Final Fantasy VII remake. Shortly after, Square-Enix pulled the carpet out from our feet by officially stating that they had no intention of remaking it for the PS3.
And for the longest time, we were all broken hearted about the tease.
Earlier this week, Famitsu interviewed the creators of Crisis Core for the PSP. This game is part of the Final Fantasy VII compilation series, and looks pretty awesome. At end of the interview executive producer Yoshinori Kitase was asked about Square-Enix's future projects.
During the talks, producer Hideki Imaizumi revealed subtle intentions of the Final Fantasy VII remake. The only thing that seems to be holding them back is that everyone at Square-Enix is working on Final Fantasy XIII. He also added that a new game would be announced at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show.
Imaizumi did however end by saying that there are currently no plans for the FFVII remake, but mentioned that a decision could be made at any time. Remember people, Square made the decision to make Crisis Core in only two days.
For once a company's indecision is looking on the bright side! RPG fans, break out your champagne bottles and score one... er two, for the good guys.

Yay.
This game alone would push me over the edge and make me get a PS3. MGS4, Ratchet & Clank, and FF7, killer combo right there...
Honestly, I'd like to have a remake of it on my DS instead. Sure, it won't look as absolutely jaw-dropping as a PS3 version, but it would be nice to have FFVII on the go. Besides, Nintendo already has I-VI on a handheld, and a remake of IV on the DS is on the way. You know I've got my fingers crossed on a future release.
I'd love to see it on any one of the newer systems... This is one of the few games that lived up to everything people expected of it, and more.
*Prepares for flames*
I actually didn't like FF7.
thats ok, lots of people LOVE ff9, and i HATED it, it was so childish and stupid. 8 i think might be my favorite. especially the music.
I haven't played 7 yet, but I have played 9, 10, 10-2, and im working on 12.
"I actually didn't like FF7."
I'll just pretend that I didn't hear that and put my Cloud-sized sword away...
"I actually didn't like FF7." Dude, you should be smaked upside the head!!! FFVII, is, like, THE BEST AND MOST GREATEST VIDEOGAME EVER MADE!!!!!!
