Rumor: Final Fantasy VII Coming To PS3 AND PSN.

"A continuously revived rumor has been sparked to life once again, with new statements and speculation coming in from all over the net. This megaton rumor regards a potential remake of Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 3."

"To begin, we'll start with the 1up.com podcast interview with Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto where he revealed that a major announcement will be made at the DKΣ3713 Square Enix Event on August 2nd."

'"You can look forward to the upcoming invite-only fan event DKS3713 , where we'll have a major announcement that will shock the fans in attendance,' said Hashimoto."

"In addition, 1up's Shane Bettenhausen stated, '[The] Final Fantasy XIII on 360 announcement swung the ball towards Microsoft. At Square Enix's Japan event in two weeks, they will swing the ball back towards Sony.'"



"Now you could say this doesn't have anything to do with Final Fantasy VII, but if you were to think of one title that would 'swing' favor back to the PlayStation 3 with a simple announcement, what comes to mind? Perhaps what have fans been dying for ever since the tech demo showcase at E3 2005? Final Fantasy VII."

"The last incoming rumor comes from Playstationlifestyle.net. According to their inside source, not only will Final Fantasy VII (either a remake or related spin-off like Crisis Core) be revealed as a PlayStation 3 exclusive at Square Enix's DKΣ3713 event, but the classic PS1 original will be distributed through both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade at the end of the year."

"After Square Enix's surprising announcement of Final Fantasy XIII going multiplatform, revealing a Final Fantasy VII title for the PS3 would definitely put love back in the hearts of the PS3-owning Square Enix fans. We're not too convinced by the validity of PlayStation Lifestyle's information however, but at the very least it's a topic to speculate on."

"Until the DKΣ3713 event is upon us though, take all of this as purely rumor and speculation. That is, don't fall prey to the hype train that is sure to follow this story. If it's not destined to happen, it won't, and you shouldn't be dissappointed about that. If it is however, you should hear official confirmation in about two weeks time. Stay tuned."

I live in fear of the day they release a remake of FFVII.

VideoGameTakeOut wrote The title says PS3 and PSN, but your text says it's also coming to XBLA. I have no reason to be excited until they anounce something solid. It could be something stupid like Derge of Cerberus II or something and then I will have gotten my hopes up for nothing.  lol

Sorry I just copy and paste everything thats in that article.

If FFVI heads to anything other then DS or Wii I will kill people.

Amen to that, though, if it were a remake, I'd have to agree with flamecondor, unless it was of the same graphical quality as the FFVII tech demo, which it wouldn't be.
