Default VII remake

Reguarding Final Fantasy VII at TGS07, Kaz Hirai, president of Sony, made a peculiar statement on a sticky note attached above a poaster featuring the words: FINAL FANTASY VII. The stickynote read: "Thanks for 10 great years. The best is yet to come."

Now, let's put two and two together. At the end of Crisis Core, you see "To be continued in Final Fantasy VII." Square Enix chose Final Fantasy VII as the technical demo for the PS3, and not any of the other dozens of Final Fantasies. After ten years of remakes for PS1 and Gameboy, Square makes Advent Children and Crisis Core. They then deny a remake passionately.

I'm no idiot. Kaz Hirai is refering to a Final Fantasy VII remake. It will come in some way. The most likely way is a fully re-rendered Blu-ray disk for PS3, complete with voice acting and new weapons and summons. The other way it may come would be from the PlayStation Network as a downloadable PS1 title, same as the three disks that you bought ten years ago when you had no clue what Final Fantasy was.

And here I will denounce a remake on the DS. You don't make a game for a portable system and then make the sequel on the opposing system. It makes utterly no sense!

"Look, up in the sky! Is it Final Fantasy VII on the 360?" It certainly won't be on the 360. The only reason that Final Fantasy XI Online came out on the 360 was for Xbox Live. Tetsuya Nomura has stated, as many of the Square workers have said, that the PS3 is the best way to express himself artistically, and therefore he won't work on the 360 or Wii for something as artsy as FFVII.

By the way, on 1up.com, the release date for Final Fantasy VII is set to November 1, 2008. Hey, they may know what many of us have been waiting to hear.
