[General Discussion] FFVII Compilation Thread

Happy 10 year anniversary, FFVII! (Well, for Japan, anyways.)

Crazy to think that the game that I probably had the most enjoyable time playing came out 10 years ago .

Rumor on the street is that if square were to announce anything about a remake, then today would be it. I'm really not going to get my hopes up though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ha, yeah. I guess I didn't even take that into account. Still, it's kind of weird knowing that it has been so long, and the popularity is still so high. I keep hearing that a remake is out of the question and never going to happen from people, but a fanboy can dream.

Here's hoping you're right about a 07/07/07 date.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I haven't been keeping very up-to-date on the whole FFVII Compilation thing (even though I'm a diehard FFVII fan), so I don't know how relevant (or even old) this may be.

Anyways, via the 1UP Blog:

Quote:

If you haven't read our Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core interview yet, you should. A very interesting response came to one of our questions, which alludes to a possible remake of Final Fantasy VII, since no other games have been announced, even though all of the original 'Compilation of Final Fantasy VII' titles announced years back (Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children, Before Crisis) have now come out. The quote in question goes as follows.

1UP: Does Crisis Core mark the finale for the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII series?

Hajime Tabata: No, it does not. The Compilation's finale will take some other form.

I know this is merely fuel for stupid rumors and speculation at this point. Still, it's almost pretty much guaranteed to be some form of a PS3 game, since the PS3 is the ONLY Sony platform that has not seen some iteration of a FFVII game -

-PSP - Crisis Core
-PS1 - FFVII
-Blu-Ray - Advent Children
-PS2 - Dirge of Cerberus
-PS3 - ???

How's that for marketing Sony products. At this point, what options do they have left? All I can really think of is a remake of the classic game, or an additional game focusing on the events after Dirge of Cerberus (which I think is more likely :/).


EDIT:

Also - Crisis Core - $36.99 @ Newegg
