Guess the iOS port and PS4 port share the same price.
Yuck!

 

[Lagamorph]

That pricing is practically insulting.

 

[ps3ud0]

Damn Capcom are thinking 'we priced Resident Evil HD Remake too low...'

Knowing the PS1 version of FF7 is £8 on PSN last time I looked (does go half price when in sales) - pricing isnt a surprise...

ps3ud0 8)

 

[Impeccable]

I was going to get this but at that price and knowing a remake is coming? Pass.

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

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

Nevermind.

I have already done that plenty of times with the original.
Platinum trophy, here we go!

 

[Dragon1893]

That price for a PSone game in 2015 is... fascinating.

 

[RedAssedApe]

ya'll know you are buying it. just trying to save face by saying you're not

 

[YianGaruga]

ya'll know you are buying it. just trying to save face by saying you're not

When it's on sale for 50% off, yeah

 

[Lapidus' Beard]

The same day as Tales of Zestiria? Multitasking inbound!

 

[Pachimari]

Dunno if I should get this for the PlayStation buttons of just stick to my Steam version and the fan translation. I have never played FFVII before.

 

[JPS Kai]

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

Nevermind.

The grind isn't nearly as bad as you think.

 

[barit]

Sony's holiday lineup is saved (again)

 

[DoktorEvil]

Better off getting the Steam Version.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/39140/

That's a high price for a port.

ya'll know you are buying it. just trying to save face by saying you're not

I bought it 50% off when it came out on the PS3 PSN Store.

It's firmly located on my PSP. Thanks but no thanks.

I'll wait for REMAKE.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Someone should post that PSX picture.

 

[3rdamention]

I made it all the way to the Chocobo breeding, and I couldn't go any further when it originally came out... It just got complicated and wasn't fun... Now I wonder if I want to give it a go...

 

[Cornbread78]

I'll but this... Price is to be expected since the direct port already on PSN is $9.99 and this is an updated "port" with trophies... uggh, I'll buy it, lol.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Pretty high priced for an untouched port.

They know people are gonna buy it anyway

 

[Omadahl]

Steam summer sale had it for $5. Doesn't matter that I have my original discs, I went and bought it because I'm a chump.

 

[ULTROS!]

October is JRPG month because:

Oct 13 - Dragon Quest Heroes
Oct 16 - Final Fantasy VII
Oct 20 - Tales of Zestiria
Oct 22? - Trails of Cold Steel

 

[Hippopuncher12]

I will gladly pay $17 for a game that has three times as much content as a $60 game released today. Plus trophies.

 

[AuthenticM]

I just bought the Steam version on sale at 9$. I will install the fan translation and play it. I just cannot wait anymore.

 

[NastyBook]

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

Nevermind.

Materia Overlord

Fucking bring it. It wasn't hard to get Materia leveled up towards the end of the game, so I'm all set. Money is another for me, however.

 

[KHlover]

Steam summer sale had it for $5. Doesn't matter that I have my original discs, I went and bought it because I'm a chump.

You paid for the comfort of not having to use fan patches and shit just to get the game to work and render in an acceptable resolution on a modern OS.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

October is JRPG month because:

Oct 13 - Dragon Quest Heroes
Oct 16 - Final Fantasy VII
Oct 20 - Tales of Zestiria
Oct 22? - Trails of Cold Steel

Goddamn. And then XBX in December and Persona presumably in Nov/Dec.\

What a year.

 

[Windforce]

Day one.

 

[ethomaz]

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

Nevermind.

That is easy.

I have my PS1 save where I stole enough item to make all my main chars to reach 255 speed stat (to be fair I just reached ~220 for each char and my PS1 brooke but I have the save yet).

That was crazy.

PS. You need to master all materias to get the three all in one materias... I did that 3 times to have 3 all in one materias in the 3 main chars.

 

[Sephzilla]

16 bucks?

 

[crimzonflame]

Triple AP + those enemies in the crater = easy materia mastering

 

[ethomaz]

Triple AP + those enemies in the crater = easy materia mastering

Exactly... some encounter give you near 16k AP (4k normal).. some materias you master in one match lol

 

[ShirAhava]

FF7 is worth like 4 AAA games to me....16 is a steal

 

[Shin-Ra]

The value of the game isn't really in doubt. Just the handling of the port/remaster.

 

[Bisnic]

And people thought that N64 games for 10$ was overpriced. Looks like we got a new champion.

 

[Bluenoser]

I'll probably bite the bullet and pay the $20+ it will be in Canada since I've never double dipped on this game. Bought it when it came out in 1997, still have that copy, and this will be my 2nd purchase. Still damn expensive.

 

[Megawarrior]

If it is retranslated I'll buy it at that price. Otherwise, I'll wait for a random psn flash sale.

 

[Mung]

Can you imagine this thread if the remake hadn't been announced? The anger!

 

[Xamdou]

Wait is this a straight port like PS3 version or a remake?

 

[Z3M0G]

I will buy for this price (NA)

Wait is this a straight port like PS3 version or a remake?

Good lord... neither.

- "PS3 Version" is the actual PS1 version, just released digitally
- this is not the "Remake" announced at E3, if that is what you mean (I really hope not)

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Same old translation?

Wait is this a straight port like PS3 version or a remake?

Neither...it is the updated PC version that was released last year. It is not the PSX version.

 

[Solid Samus]

That Square Enix tax. Fuck that

 

[Vashetti]

Wait is this a straight port like PS3 version or a remake?

"PS3 version" doesn't exist. It's a PS1 .iso

 

[TGO]

Why is it taking longer then the FFX HD Remaster Port?
If they was added stuff that wasn't in the original PC port (ie updated textures/widescreen support/ replacing the old block models and using the higher detailed battle character models instead)fine but they not.

 

[Joqu]

Yeah, updated translation and I'll bite. I wish they'd say something on this, I want to give the game a replay but if it's the old translation I'll just grab the PC version with the fan translation.

 

[Fbh]

The remake is tottaly going to cost $80 (standard edition)

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Maybe I missed it but is this getting a retail release or is it digital only?

 

[Fdkn]

to get the money you only have to sell the mastered materias and then load the game, the grind is nonexistant in a normal run (normal meaning beating Emerald and Ruby)

I hope the rumours of new translation are true, if not I'll wait for a sale

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

16€?

WTF!!!!!

 

[PseudoViper]

I can't help but think this port will determine whether or not the "remake" will actually happen. Somehow I get the feeling Square is going to decide NOT to move forward if sales are not up to far for this port then there's not a market for a remake.

Or maybe they are just going to milk it 'till the end.

Either way, $15.99 is wayyyy too much.

 

[TGO]

Wait is this a straight port like PS3 version or a remake?

No that version looks like this

The PS4 version will be 1080p and playable and won't make your eyes bleed.
I hope they do FFVIII and FFIX too

 

[Godcannon]

Tempted to wait for an inevitable sale. Tell you what SE, give us first details on the remake around that time and I'll bite.

 

[Windforce]

The PS1 classic on PS3/Vita costs 9,99.

So 16 is fine for this PC port. HD graphics and trophies (especially if it has a platinum) make it worth it.
