Sounds like a rerelease of the old PC ports of FF VII (and possibly VIII) with certain additions. I'd say they'll probably just add achievements, higher resolution modes, and fixes that will allow the port(s) to run on Windows VII... I mean 7.

I'd be very surprised if they add anything beyond that.
Yeah me too, especially since the re-releases of them on the PSN sold like hotcakes its obvious that Square can make maximum money with minimum effort.

Personally I'd like to see a fully 3d version of VI or Chrono Trigger but I realise that's never gonna happen.
I would be ecstatic about current-gen remake of Chrono Trigger. I still don't understand why they chose to continue the Final Fantasy series instead of the Chrono series. Other World gets all the cool stuff.

That stat booster. I wonder what that's about. I thought at first it would be kind of an ingame purchase, but now it looks like it's integrated into the game to make it more accessible.

I'll keep an eye on this, but to be honest, I have no interest in playing FF7 ever again. ^^

Also, Screwattack's news caster made the joke that if they wanted to sell DLC, just make one that makes it possible to bring Aeris back with a phoenix down. I laughed a little.

Just how many more signs is the Mayan Apocalypse going to have?
well only 2 more:
half-life 3

and then EA to stop acting like greedy idiots and just help make good games instead of milking cash cows.

then the world ends.

OT: I don't really care about final fantasy, only ever the side games which aren't turn based RPGs interest me.

I WANT IT!!! I don't own a PS3 and I don't even think I'll like FVII that much (Stupid Cloud) but I've played/watched every other FVII thing there is (Loved Crisis Core in particular)! I've dealt with prequels and sequels but never the main story! I need this for closure.

From memory the original pc version didn't have the updated content from the American 7 release mainly ruby weapon, so that will likely be in this new version.

As for full 3d Chrono Trigger, ya will never happen Square put a stop to it for some reason and it looked so good. http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/

After the initial cease and desist letter they tried to get Square to let them finish the project for Square; but Square was and is happier with CT perma shelved.

I had a friend who bought the PC version a year after I played on PS, THERE IS ALREADY A PC VERSION out there, I think it's a 7 CDs package... this game is far ahead of it's time. and out right the first game I have see that actually kills one important party member (RAGE~ My Cloud dated her!~) damn the memory coming back... T_T...

I don't need a Re-Package, we need a RE-MAKE-OVER!~ make it like up-beat crisis core, and plus party/summon creatures (Knights of Round:12 characters on screen, one messy cluster Funk... you know... the colors and all...) I hope limit system uses one like FF10 (style change charger; personal favorite: :Revenge"; your friend get attacked, you charge!)OMNISLASH!~ I think materia system is great for game pad, because you will NOT have more than 8 active materia on one person, as your weapon will not allow that, makes it easy to use hotkey to activate(I'd say make all lvl 1 magics shooter, lvl 2 AOE, lvl3 large AOE, lvl M Full screen...etc plus combo meter, combo makes any game cooler!

I prefer they just redid the graphics to something more recent. Much in the same way that I wish Morrowind was redone in Oblivion or Skyrim graphics.

At least that way, I can actually play FF7 to see what the big deal was.
I did try playing FF7, just couldn't get into it. I don't mind some lower graphics (I still have Fable 1 and Morrowind installed), but I have a certain threshold that needs to be appeased if a game wants to hold me.

They need to remake Final Fantasy 6...not 7...in my opinion...

People are up in arms about FF7 mainly because it was the first 3D Final Fantasy game and it was probably the first FF game they actually played/knew about. FF7 is still a good game, I would never dream of calling it a bad game, but it comes down to Nostalgia...while you may think it's the greatest RPG ever because you played it when you were younger and loved it then, doesn't mean it truly is the best in the eyes of everyone...

When you take your nostalgia goggles off, you should see it for what it really is...a pretty darn good game...one of the two GOOD FF games on the PSOne (FF7 and FF9)...not the flawless masterpiece some people claim it to be...

Now, i'd never judge anyone for FF7 being their favorite. If it's your favorite, that's perfectly fine...I try to be as unbiased about the game as I possibly can, mainly because some people will rip your jugular out if you say anything overly negative about it...I wrote an entire review about it 3 years ago...so don't rip me a new one until you see my full opinion about it...you can read it here (some of the pictures don't work anymore tho)

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.119828-Final-Fantasy-VII-The-Series-PART-ONE#2334107

OT: ...why wait for a remake/re-release when you can get the game off the PS Store for 10 dollars in its original glory...you shouldn't care about updated graphics or achievements...if anything, Advent Children should have turned you off of the whole idea...mainly because AC is god awful (and i'm perfectly alright with saying it's god awful)...

It's the substance that makes the game good, not the style/looks...

...that's all I have to say about this...i'm gonna leave and get my flame shield ready for people who may take my comments the wrong way...

It needs to run in Win 7/8 64 bit and it needs to run at a higher resolution. I think it's original resolution on the PC was 640x480.

Jesus christ. Just let this thing die already. I love FFVII, but I stopped buying FFVII stuff after Advent Childern. I dont' understand this whole notion of "We gotta keep buying FFVII stuff cuz it was the best" mentaility. Yes, updated graphics and everything would be nice, but I'm not gonna shell out my money for a exact copy of a game I finished almost 10 years ago. The reason Square doesn't step out of the box more is because people keep gobbleling up anything with FF or Kingdom Hearts in the title. And it's really starting to get annoying.

If only you could choose not to buy it!

I played the PC version of final fantasy VII back on my old Win 98. Oh yeah, 2 GB of hard drive space, the majesty of it. It's such a pain in the ass to play old PC games, so good for steam if they patch it up some. I'm just pissed I can't get Freespace to work. I just want to ask since I'm being nostalgic about old PC games, anyone out there ever play Hardwar. Never met anyone who has, it's still a favorite.
Was that the elite type game set on Titan with the solar powered aircraft?

If so, yes I played it, loved it.
Yes, yes it was. There was some guy remaking it and I think the page is still up, but it hasn't been updated for months. Had my hopes up for a while.still do

Seeing as I avoid using my PC for gaming, I can't say I'm personally too excited about this but it's great that such a great game will be available to even more gamers.

Fix those graphics (heck even 1920x1080 would be nice) and get rid of the annoying part where you have to press a button at exactly the right time with literally no room for error to leave Reactor 5, and I'll probably get this.

Wow that sounds more interesting that FF7 remake (and Im a huge fan, not scary shrine huge though).

Iirc the ending music for hardwar was pretty beautiful as well, Dome Epais?
