Final Fantasy VII For PS3 - Confirmation Coming in Last Remnant?
Square Enix fans - rejoice with a certain amount of reservation! One source is claiming that it will soon be confirmed that a long-rumoured remake of Final Fantasy VII will hit the PS3.

PSXtreme claims that "a reliable source at SCEJ" has told it that Square will embed confirmation of FF VII for the PS3 in its upcoming next-gen RPG, The Last Remnant, which is bound for a Spring release in Japan and America.

The site claims that the confirmation will be delivered in a similar way to Eat Sleep Play's revelation of a Twisted Metal project for the PS3. The studio of David Jaffe - the creator of God of War - embedded a code in the end credits of Twisted Metal: Head On for the PS3 which, once cracked, revealed the project.

The same source also apparently confirmed the fact that a 22 minute playable demo for FF XIII in The Last Remnant, which comes from some 20 hours into the game.

File it under 'rumour' for now.

Isn't Last Remnant on the Xbox 360 as well? SE are losing a s**t load of money by not making FF on the 360 as well, I mean at least bring out the re-make of number 7 on the 360 that will sell s**t loads!

Have you checked the date?

As much as i REALLY REALLY REALLY want this to be true, I can't help but feel it might be an april fool, I have read MANY obvious ones across the internet over the past few hours and feel this may just be another.

There's no point releasing or reading news today - everybody's trying to beat each other with their April Fool's "jokes," but at hte expense their own credibility.

When it's obvious, it's safer, because it's not specifically trying to deceive people, and it can still be funny - but when people can't tell what is and isn't lie, then it's less funny, and the best thing to do is believe nothing.

The rumour started with a story on March 31st. So... if it is an April Fools, April Fools Day started early this year.

Doesn't mean that the rumour will turn out to be true, of course... but such is the skepticism we have to look at any unnamed source with. Bless the internet.

The remake will probably be announced at E3 08. If in fact, it is going to be remade on the PS3. The latest it will be released would be in 2017 for the 20th Anniversary. Long ******* time though, so hope that it'll be remade for the PS3 and Sony is probably begging them to do it anyway. Also, thank the PS3's low sales if it does get remade on the PS3, because Sony may provide a good budget to Square to remake Final Fantasy VII, in hopes to help them rise above the 360. The game will be remade, anyone who doesn't think so is foolish.

Square Enix fans??

sorry but i was a Squaresoft fan and never anything else post `soft` era nothing felt the same.


but for the love of god, Square, I beg you just remake FF7 with lush new visuals and add some new elements and new spells and objects and items and lose the CG for Render and put it on the 360 and i swear i will buy every square made game forever regardless of what it is!!

That would wreck everything that is final fantasy, Microsoft is not an rpg company. Never have been, Probibly never will.., No one really cares about the 360.. its kinda old news. They are only 6 million ahead of ps3 and with home and plenty exlclusive... Gran turismo, and Metal gear , Final fantasy and final fantasy versus, Killzone , haze , o and if this is true, final fatasy 7.. the list goes on... , I guess u are gonna have Gow2... but I mean.. another shooter.. and halo 3 was half assed. and everyone knows it. Gears and halo are not really inventive and dont really offer new ideas to there genre. BUY PS3 or Learn to swim

I would KILL to play FF7 on the PS3!!! I hate the word rumor!!! If they decide to remake it that would surely mean that the PS3 would sell more because there are a lot of people that would buy it just to play Final Fantasy7!!! Recently, smash bros brawl came out for the wii and the wii sold like crazy here in vegas, they actually ran out of wii!! The same shall happen for ff7! If that game ever comes out for ps3, I will most definately cry!:)

Fanboy = Moron

Grow up. The 360 has a lot of good games, the PS3 will (hopefully) have a lot of good games in the future so to avoid disappointment buy both ... and a Wii for that jumping plumber game. Or stop bitching and get over the fact the only good thing you can only play on the PS3 at the moment is a small part of GT5.

Lets hope it is a April Fools. Square should use their time to put FF series on ice, and build up some of their other IPs. Clinging to FF is boring and it may yet run out of luck (Dirge and Ring of Fates being lame game cash ins).

Last Remnant looks good. Good to see a game spread across formats once again, loyalty is good but can be your undoing.

I'm undecided myself on whether or not remaking FF7 would be worthwhile - for PS3 sales obviously yes, but I don't know if it could ever live up to those dreamy childhood years when first seeing that motorbike scene was really special etc.

Also, as much as I love FF (well, 7 & 8) I haven't cared enough about the lead character in any FF since. Tidus was alright I suppose, but Yuna was a little yap. I know she threw away her staff and picked up some shooters eventually, but not only did she then look easy, the game was rather easy too.

FF12 was only interesting until about 20 hours in, at which point you realised you were going to be stuck with that little Vaan boy for the whole story.

The point is I could develop little to no emotional attachment to any of the characters really, never mind the lead man. Squall, now that was a lead; brooding, quiet and serious. Ah... oh, actually, I've just remember Rikku, she was lovely in 10. Lovely.. But yes, I haven't truely enjoyed an RPG since Dark Chronicle, maybe because I haven't had time but still, the originality of most I have seen is lacking to say the least.


P.S. FF8 is better than 7 regardless, and if they were to remake one it should be 8.

I like how you started "fanboy=moron" that's true, but then you went on to be one yourself such a shame.

I don't really see anything in here that would qualify him as a fanboy.

I'd disagree that someone should buy a PS3 before theres good games out...but thats justified...who knows what features the next revision of the PS3 will delete...but aside from that hes pretty much spot on...

Which part did you object to and find fanboyish? The dismissal of Mario as "that plumber" or the statement that theres nothing worth playing on the PS3? I'll stand behind both...and I'm not usually given to standing behind the statements of anon fanboys.

Its not like he says Sony sucks, in fact, if you read what he said, he advises you to purchase both...a bridge I myself won't cross. Right now the PS3's lineup looks anemic. full stop. In fact he completely absolves himself of fanboyism (in this statement at least) by saying that (hopefully) the PS3 will get better games in the future. No self respecting fanboy wishes success on his rival, they wish only for the defeat of their enemies and to hear the lamentations of their women.

True the PS3 will get good games in the future, but what about the good games that are already out for it? like, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Resistance, Eye of Judgment and Uncharted to name but a few. Yeah ok, maybe fanboy wasn't the correct wording, my apologies.
