Square Enix has announced that the PC port of Final Fantasy VII will be releasing on PS4 in North America and Europe on October 16th, 2015 for $16.99/£12.99/€15.99.

EDIT: It looks like the port is delayed because DotEmu, the French company handling it, is being restructured. OK, here's something weird. As recently as April, the LinkedIn for the former CTO and the Facebook page for French company DotEmu, who did the original PC port, both said that they were handling the PS4 port. Now BOTH references have been deleted. (Don't have a link for Facebook, sorry, but I did see it with my own eyes before it was deleted.)

Now the CTO's page says there is a "new management and technical team taking over the company" as of November. I'm gonna bet that's the reason for the delay?

EDIT2: Square told GameInformer that the October date is wrong, still aiming for Winter 2015 as announced during E3.

Winter 2015 now apparently

[Ashler]

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

 

[Tripon]

Pretty high priced for an untouched port.

 

[Blablurn]

That's quite the price

 

[DNAbro]

That is entirely too much. and why so late?

 

[Septimus]

I'll probably buy this.

 

[Ingueferroque]

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

Same.

 

[Rosur]

That's quite the price

Same price as the PC version so not surprised is any lower.

 

[Kriken]

"Spring 2015" well I guess October is Spring in Australia

 

[orava]

A port of a port?

 

[YianGaruga]

It's $12 or 13€ on Steam btw.

 

[hamchan]

A bit expensive there.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

12.99?

Whaaaaa? oh who am I kidding I'll end up buying this to tide a little over until the remake and so that the original is fresh in my mind.


Oh and trophies.

 

[Carl]

£13 for a PSOne game?

 

[Shin-Ra]

They should probably talk a bit more about what's updated and what's the same before getting to the pricing part.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Wait its still gonna cost more then the PC version? How can they charge that much for a touch'd up PS1 game? Especially when they are working on a remake.

 

[McDougles]

It's remarkable the mobile ports of FF games cost almost this same price.

 

[GrayChild]

Quite expensive for a port of a port of an 18 year old game. I guess it may also be due to the new translation they were making.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Pretty steep for an 18 year old product ..... but I will get it anyway.

 

[Cheddahz]

They should probably talk a bit more about what's updated and what's the same before getting to the pricing part.

It's just the Steam version with (hopefully) the original soundtrack files and trophies

 

[artsi]

Pretty pricey but I'll buy it.

If it supports analog, d-pad and rumble with the graphics of the PC version and original music then it's the best version.

 

[YianGaruga]

They should probably talk a bit more about what's updated and what's the same before getting to the pricing part.

Updated: It has trophies
The same: everything else

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Square Enix sets the prices they know their fans will pay. That's why it's seventeen bucks.

 

[mintylurb]

I was just making a thread about this announcement with the title: Final Fantasy VII for PS4 out Oct 16th.. Dang it op.

 

[qualitydisc]

"Spring 2015" well I guess October is Spring in Australia

Hahahah I laughed.

 

[Duress]

You've got to be shitting me? Does it seriously take that long to port, this time around?

 

[neoism]

Pretty high priced for an untouched port.

yup no thanks sqaure 17 bones lol...smh ive bought this game like 6 times already.. will get the remake in 2020....

 

[Kain]

Yeah no thanks.

 

[YianGaruga]

I was just making a thread about this announcement with the title: Final Fantasy VII for PS4 out Oct 16th.. Dang it op.

He probably saved you from becoming a Junior

 

[Shin-Ra]

It's just the Steam version with (hopefully) the original soundtrack files and trophies

Is that an assumption or have S-E made this clear?

 

[Eggbok]

Does this come with trophies?

 

[Leafhopper]

Remake gonna be 80 bucks.

 

[Night Hunter]

Any word on the soundtrack?

Because something was seriously wrong with it in the PC version afair.

 

[D23]

Seventeen bucks? Still buying it cause I'm weak

 

[Servbot24]

Ok Square, we're not that hyped.

 

[Dremark]

Wow the remake is out already? So cheap too, I assumed it would be a $60 game. I'm all over this.

Spoiler

Yes, I'm joking.

 

[koutoru]

Any modern computer, gaming or not, should be able to run the cheaper steam version at 1080p.

 

[playXray]

It has to be done, if nothing else just to see how many Trophies I can get. I can't wait

 

[Strangelove77]

$16.99?
*boisterous laugh*

People are going to buy it.

Did they retranslate it or something at least? Otherwise the Vita version is the best.

 

[Black Republican]

He probably saved you from becoming a Junior

pretty much heh

 

[Tizoc]

Come on people I'm hype for FF7 Remake as much as the next guy, but even this is too pricey.
I say get it for $5 then relive the nostalgia :V

 

[Shin-Ra]

I was just making a thread about this announcement with the title: Final Fantasy VII for PS4 out Oct 16th.. Dang it op.

 

[Goteki_45]

Day one

 

[giancarlo123x]

Wasn't it rumored they were redoing the translation?

 

[sixteen-bit]

"Spring 2015" well I guess October is Spring in Australia

That southern hemisphere loophole

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Yeah I'll save my money and buy it on sale, $17 is too much for a port.

 

[Hasney]

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

Same, it won't have the disappointment attached to it now!

... Will wait on a sale though.

 

[Drencrom]

Does this come with trophies?

It's a 'native' PS4 title so yes.

 

[skynidas]

i wonder if they are going to add a platinum trophy

 

[GeNoMe]

I'm getting this just for the trophies. Will be my third FF7 Purchase.
