what

Pretty much.

[bluethunder]

Didn't they already release this game for the PC back in 1998 or '99? I clearly remember a magazine (I don't remember the name, Jeff Green would do an editorial in the back) reviewing it.

Pretty odd Square Enix would want to re-release this game yet again. I guess there's a market for it.

[R_thanatos]

i can't help but laugh at this trailer ..every explosion in CGI in the game without context ..to make it seem like a blockbuster movie ..

[IHaveIce]

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Why should I buy it again? All new features don't bother me, square wasting resources for this?

[Finalow]

well I wanted to play some ff games again so sounds good to me.

Yeah and if I recall correctly Edios did the port (Far to lazy to look)
Definitely sure there's a market for it, but im a bit surprised at the lack of updates to it.
Sure we weren't expecting a HD release but would have expect much more in the touch up department.

You can't find it anywhere nowadays. Should 15 y.o. games just die?

just like old times.

this is easy money for SE. i wouldn't call it wasted resources.

Resources? They probably hardly used any.

You're not obligated to purchase it. It's really stupid to call something a waste of resources because you don't want it.

They didn't waste any resources, apparently they just used the fan-made stuff ;).

Don't buy it if you feel like you're being ripped off. Other people have no problems paying for this game, especially since last time they payed for this game was in 199-fucking-7.

Oh and they barely used any resource in this... I thought that was obvious?

[Elios83]

The funniest thing is that even in 1997 the game was marketed like that because JRPG were niche.

Btw I've just read that the game will be in english, french, spanish and german............after so many years still no italian.....Square.....
No buy for me, I'll stick to the Psone version played on PsVita which will probably look better than 320*200 backgrounds on a 1080p screen.

it's not august yet, you aren't allowed to say that.

[Screenboy]

8 quid?! It better have higher res bgs or something.

[Valnen]

Useless if it look worse than This I suppose a rerelease also puts the nails in the coffin that is the hope for a true HD remake

FF4 shows they're not afraid to remake something over and over again.

[Comet]

That trailer was awful! I'll get this if it ever drops on Steam but I own the original disc, PSN versions, and the old-ass PC version. Enough is probably enough for me.

[worldrevolution]

This is their way of telling the remake beggars that this is all they will ever get, deal.

[Brinbe]

Ha, glad I already own the PC release. What bullshit.

[Kagari]

Shocking news? Shocking news.

Also LOL @ 'coming to the PC for the first time' gg guys.

[Gravijah]

This is their way of telling the remake beggars that this is all they will ever get, deal.

not at all. it's just SE making a quick buck.

Shocking news? Shocking news.

no. let "SHOCKING NEWS" die.

[Kokonoe]

What this is: A port and an easier way for people to play Final Fantasy VII on their PCs without using ebay.

Don't see the issue here.

[Astery]

just as according to keikaku.
typical SE.
wait wat, you saying this year is 1997? cool I guess, played on PS already, good that now PC gamers can experience it too!

[MehsterChief]

Still buying it, even without a GOG or Steam version. Nostalgia...

[Acidote]

Sorry SQ-E, I don't trust your store.

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

damn, media page is just art. and the trailer is just cg!

Fuck your Avatar. ._.

Btw. where is my VI remake?!?

[Bisnic]

Its not on Steam, therefore its a terrible decision. *cough*

[Furoba]

Just like the original trailers, only CGI footage. lol

[IHaveIce]

Yeah my sentence with the resources wasn't that serious.

And no it's not a feeling of being ripped of more like the whole thing has no appeal to buy it, hardly any new features. I have the original game still lying in my cupboard. It's just the fact Squaere knows that many fans want to have something ffVII related and they give a rerelease.. without doing something to improve the game.


Maybe it is cool for people who don't have the game anymore.

[Johnlenham]

Yeah the problem is im probably stupid enough to buy this and half play it then forget about it.

Im assuming the online bit is purely to try and stop piracy?

[Gravijah]

Fuck your Avatar. ._.

what's wrong with it!

[Paracelsus]

Cloud saves, no battle character models used everywhere in the game, no hd backgrounds, no 540fps.

People would be best just epsxeing the greatest hits PS1 version.

[alexandros]

Website says: "Available Exclusively on the SQUARE ENIX Store"

Yes- I used to have FF7 for PC

[Gravijah]

no battle character models used everywhere in the game

If this is on Steam it will be bought. Square Enix store? Nope. Not after the troubles I had with Final Fantasy XI.

Hah, the all CG trailer.

listened to the entire main theme of final fantasy vii without triggering a random battle

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

what's wrong with it!

I spit some cafè on my keyboard, because of it. :/

[Leckan]

I gig ram and 2 gig cpu and DX 9 card min reqs for FFVII on the PS1?

Wut? Is this April 1st?

[Yoshichan]

Fantastic. I love it. More unique achievements!

[Leckan]

Honestly though this just seems like some silly attention stunt for their online store.

Let's see if it works.

[Yoshichan]

Eh, what can possibly happen if you buy it from the Square Enix shop? You buy it, you download it, you play it :3

[Azure Dream]

Well, playing as fat cloud seems like an interesting concept.

New party member follows the group around, playing a tuba.

[Nemesis311]

The nostalgia factor is so high for this shit that I'm really thinking about buying it.

Hope for the $10 price we get AT LEAST the use of the mods that were previously released by the community. To be fair, S-E should at least greet them in the credits if they are planning on using them.

[_Keiichi_]

That Aeris girls looks nice. Hopefully she's a full-time party member and sticks around for all the game!

[Giran]

I wanted to get this but I'll probably wait a bit and see if it appears on Steam sometime soon.
