[Majmun]

Can't wait to buy it and never play it!

 

[Phazon]

Maybe it includes a demo of the real remake?

But yeah, that's quite the price. Not really interested in it.

 

[Syntsui]

Don't go to MC Donalds this month and buy this game you cheap bastards!

Spoiler

I'm joking, don't get mad

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

i wonder if they are going to add a platinum trophy

The PC version has 36 achievements.
I can't imagine why there wouldn't be a platinum.

 

[holysan]

I already have the PSN version, so trophies are really the only reason to bother with this and I will :/

 

[The Last One]

It seens they are correcting the translation errors at least.

 

[IAmRandom31]

I really hope they clean up the pre-rendered backgrounds a bit. The worst thing about the PC version was the uprezzed polygon models against the still low rez and blocky pre-rendered backgrounds. Looked so out of place.

 

[Boke1879]

This download is about to do numbers.

 

[BasilZero]

Dat price.

I already have the Steam version and still have the PSX version so I'll likely pass this up.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Oh I wished so hard for a summer release...

I guess I will play it early next year to prepare my final goodbye for the game before the remake takes it place.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

Listed as $15.99 on SE's site

 

[OnionPowder]

And just because the real remake is coming out, i'm going to buy this.

Their plan is working. They probably even aren't working on the remake

 

[Percy]

Should have gotten it out before E3, because the remake announcement is going to make a lot of people think they just don't 'need' this version anymore.

A port of a port?

Of course of course.

 

[Raynes]

Are the changes known?

 

[Boke1879]

Should have gotten it out before E3, because the remake announcement is going to make a lot of people think they just don't 'need' this version anymore.



Of course of course.

Trust me dude. Many people will buy this. Myself included. For no real reason other than this is my favorite Final Fantasy game.

Of course of course.

Eh, if anything, the announcement got me all amped up to play FF7 again. I do wish it'd been available right then, but I'll happily buy and play it in October.

 

[Somnia]

Buying it for sure.

Funny thing is even at that price it'll consistently be in the top 10 PSN sellers each week for years, guaranteed.

 

[muteki]

Regular price for PS1 classic is 14.99 right? So its a buck for trophies and a resolution bump.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Wasn't going to buy it, but since they are giving us the remake I will buy it. Want to help fund FF7R.

I just hope the game and FMV's are widescreen and touched up.

 

[TheMan]

Bah, that's much later than I expected. Secretly I hoped for a surprise E3 announcement that it would be available "Right Now!" but I'll have to wait I guess.

 

[toythatkills]

Regular price for PS1 classic is 14.99 right? So its a buck for trophies and a resolution bump.

It's 9.99

 

[JCX]

So this would not be able to use the save from the Vita PS1 version, right? Really wish they would release it on both like FFX HD.

 

[Boomstompfloppy]

£13 for a PSOne game?

That's cheaper then thw actual ps one game goes for.

Will buy for the chance to platinum Ff7, bring on the 8 port.

 

[spons]

Agree, they should rerender the backgrounds.

It's ten euro on the EU store, which makes a difference of 6 euros for trophies and a questionable upgrade in graphics (with much of it being prerendered).

 

[qualitydisc]

Something is up with the outsourcing company, have updated the OP.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

What's the difference between this and the existing FF7 PC port?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Feels like the Canadian price if it were $15 US.

 

[Somnia]

What's the difference between this and the existing FF7 PC port?

They haven't said, rumors are there might be a new translation.

 

[Nokagi]

Will buy it once it's on sale for 10 or under.

 

[Callibretto]

I thought I read somewhere they're gonna redo the translation

 

[muteki]

It's 9.99

Oh, well it is ~15 on the JP psn store, still not a bad deal I think for what you get.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

I was one the few who were happy when this port was announced.. I am looking forward to the release.

 

[Lights and Waves]

I'll wait for screenshots of this alleged "HD" port.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I thought I read somewhere they're gonna redo the translation

If there was going to be a new translation, wouldn't S-E be more upfront about it?

That sounds like way more effort than necessary, especially since they're working/not-working on a remake.

The PC version fixes one or two lines (including the legendary "This guy are sick.")
I can't recall if that's recent or was around since the original Eidos release.

Square overprices their digital ported games.

In other news, water is wet, sky is blue.

 

[Rival]

I'll stick with the steam version I got a while back on sale for $5.

 

[CD'S BAR]

fyi this is on sale on steam right now for 5.99 for the next couple hours.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

So this is basically the original game with trophies? Why the hell is it so expensive?!

 

[FTF]

$9.99 would have been the sweet spot price...this, not so much.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

It's overcast and raining where I am now.

Tbh it's not over priced if people pay it. Basic capitalism!

Anyway, I take this as a sign that the remake is going to be VERY different, because otherwise this port my satisfy ppl's FF7 itch enough that they skip the remake.

Invisible hand mate, invisible hand.

 

[RadarScope1]

I'm still a little baffled that this is coming out, given the remake. But it's not like it won't sell. The biggest benefit would be to those console-only gamers who've never played it, and who could experiment both the original and remake on a single, currently supported device.

I'd rather just pay $10 for the PS1 Classics version and be able to play it on my TV or Vita, since I still have a PS3 hooked up. But I still have the original copy I bought on 9/7/97, though. I can pop that in my PS3 any time.

 

[IzzyF3]

A complete retranslation would be pretty great.

 

[Hyunashi]

Cant wait to platinum this and drop 100+ hours on it.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Agree, they should rerender the backgrounds.



It's ten euro on the EU store, which makes a difference of 6 euros for trophies and a questionable upgrade in graphics (with much of it being prerendered).

most of these companies don't have the original assets.

 

[The Last One]

I would go for the Platinum trophy, then I saw this:

Nevermind.

 

[DoctorPayne]

So almost a year between the announcement of this straight port and its actual release? Enjoy that wait for FF7:R, guys.

 

[Shin-Ra]

I'm still a little baffled that this is coming out, given the remake.

The remake will be a different game and the PS version doesn't scale up nicely on an HDTV.
