Gamers in Japan will get a free DVD bonus that includes the E3 preview of how the beloved RPG might look on next-gen consoles.

TOKYO--In Japan, Square Enix announced that preorders of Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 2 will come with a free DVD, titled "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII: Reflections."

The bonus disc will feature five direct-feed trailers shown by Square Enix during various events, including those for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP) and Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII (Mobile). The DVD also comes with the long-edition trailer for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, which were shown during the Square Enix Party 2005 at Tokyo in late July.

Last but not least, the bonus DVD additionally features the Final Fantasy VII Technical Demo trailer that was created for the PlayStation 3. Square Enix originally exhibited the trailer at E3 in May to show the potential of Sony's next-generation gaming console, and it has since shown the trailer at several other events.

Square Enix notes that the technical FFVII demo is only meant for PS3 presentation purposes and does not indicate that a remake of the classic 1997 role-playing game is being produced for the console.

    If they remake FFVII for PS3 (which they should, no doubt) I might never see the light of day again. It would take an incredible amount of people to pull me away from my PS3, as I am a huge fan on the original FFVII and would love to see what they could make it do on the PS3. I can't stop watching the tech demo, and really hope Square-Enix goes for the entire remake. They would make zillions off of it!!!!! With the huge fanbase that FFVII already has, what has Square-Enix got to lose, am I right?

    I also hope they make a FFVII revamp. But I am also worried that they may screw it up... If they do make one I really hope that they take their time with it, fully orchrestrate all the orginal music (not change), beef up and deepin the battle system; new monsters, new weapons, new spells, new side quests (along with the fantastic old ones), and maybe even a new Super Weapon to fight, and maybe deepin the story a little, not change it!!!, but mabye tie in some Before crisis, crisis core, and Advent children material along with the original, so I hope they take their time, but not toto long......

    Then again I would also like to see a brand new next gen FF soon, but if they were to do a revamp of FFVII, and considering how long it took to put out FFXII it could be a solid 4 or 5 years before we see one, I really hope not though, maybe SE has somethin up their sleeve, but I doubt it....

    I would love to see a remake of FFVII for the PS3. If Square-Enix did that, I would buy a PS3 right on the spot. Even with all the great games coming out, I want to see something that just blows me away. A "killer app". FFVII on the PS3 would be IT. I hope Square-Enix is listening...

    I actually hope they do NOT make a remake of FF7, in one way or another it is now S(ENIX) not SS. SE jsut seem to screw things up now, and im not really too happy about it. if they made a remake of FF7 they would try to add new things or redo the story in one way or another and it would just RUIN the game.

    and really, why make a remake? if all you want is better graphics? bleh.. FF7 was never about the graphics, its about the story, if you want to play FF7 again, dust off the PSX or chuck CD1 in to your PS2. volia, your playing the game in its entirity again!

    I can understand why they may not remake FFVll, because its too risky, if you read here at GS the ''rekindling the success of FFVll'' artilce they talk about how hard it would be and might caused mixed reactions.

    What I herd about final fantasy 7 is that the are not going to remake it the are just going to leave it as a teaser demo but I could be wrong thats what GMR said hopfully they are wrong

  • sempiternal

    Square Enix knows we want a remake. They have to. Who cares about Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, etc. when we could have a brand new Final Fantasy VII? Oh man, seeing this game in next-gen graphics would be unreal.

    Of course, I'd only want a remake if it didn't compromise Final Fantasy XIII.

    Ok I am a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series to the point of obsession and would buy a remake just because it had the name Final Fantasy on the cover.
    But the major worry is would the remake be right seeing as most of the team involved with the creation of final fantasy 7 have left Square? Could the modern team at SquareEnix pull it off?

    I would like there to be a remake, it would be fun to play and watch because of the graphic upgrade but I fear, and Square-Enix probably fear, that it may actually ruin the original game. It's like remakes of movies, some can do better than the original, but most actually ruin the original which Square-Enix and myself don't want to happen to FFVII.

    If they remake it, think about how much money would be made... i mean if you played the original theres no way in hell your gonna miss a remake. its just that good of a game :/

    Square has got to be the biggest tease in the gaming world. Think about it: why would they be showing this same FFVII trailer at every gaming expo if they didn't intend to remake it? It's just common sense. That, or they are just plain evil.

    i would like to play a 7 remake, bui i would Rather have a 6 remake!! i think 6 had a way better story, and 7 is kinda played out with the movie and all. they should just make a remake of 1-9 and put it on a huge dual-layer blue-ray disc and sell it to me for like $150!!! then id be busy for awhile ;P

    Just a plain remake would probably sell, but think most people wouldn't like it as much as they used to if all the battles and puzzles would be exactly the same.

    what if they made a remake with and altenate ending or make a true sequel to FFVII which would make more sense wouldn't it for all of the little extras they are putting on FFVII the ending unclear Second Game would be even Better if they don't mess with the battle system like they did in X-2. Which I think was an experiment for Square-Enix to actually see if a Sequel was possible for me that would be great.

    Posted Nov 21, 2005 11:30 pm PT

    oh yeah and i admit ff8's junction system was anti-newb and did own the ff7's materia system, but story wise ff8 was a shallow romance while ff7 was the epic loner hero vs. demented villian.
    p.s. ff9 was the second best final fantasy game gaara

  • liquid789

    Posted Nov 21, 2005 11:23 pm PT

    Come on i luv ff7 to death(i beat it about 3 times) but do we really need it remade. either make a sequel or let the legend rest.

  • Superlegtesta

    Posted Nov 21, 2005 10:36 pm PT

    On a business level, it would be a good call to recreate FF VII for the PS3. A lot of people would buy it. But I still think it would somehow take away the feel of the original game. We all know what happens when you remake a cultural product : some people are happy, some are not. And even if you make money at that very moment, the consequences over a long period of time are never clear.I just think that over-using Cloud and Sephiroth would make them Sony's Mario and Luigi. The gaming fans don't need that, specially coming from a very respected game that was already almost perfect.

    scratch the 'little' from 2 post ago, replace with younger than we are now and you ge the picture.

  • GaaraZanta

    Posted Nov 21, 2005 10:07 pm PT

    They should make a game based off of War and Peace, now that would be epic, not to mention have a great story, though i don't think anyone today could do Tolstoy justice but if they could. . .

  • GaaraZanta

    Posted Nov 21, 2005 10:05 pm PT

    I see what dante and gameslayer mean, I wans't singling anyone out but I have noticed and alot of game me and my friends played when we were little that seemed like the greatest games ever(take Bushido Blade(which is still a great game) which i don't hold in such high regard as when i played it years ago). Now Dante i'm not actually say you have a great or pleasnt day when you would remember the game i just wanted people to maybe play the game again, if they haven't already, in the present and see if they still like it. But in terms of the best battle system FF2(japan) and FF4(japan) rull all, lol.

  • Richard_Praxton

    To gameslayer123: I see your point, but to replace the @!#*'s, all they'd have to do is rework the script a little. it needs a little work anyway, cuz a lot of the dialogue would sound really goofy if it was actually spoken. as for aerith's death scene, all i have to say is that 'T' games have pushed the limit recently, and Square could probably get away with it if they didn't go into TOO much detail. Now if they actually want to invest the time and money into it is up in the air, but they'd be smart if they did. They might just make the best-selling game of all time, and that's something to brag about.

    To GaaraZanta

    well well after reading your post I most say first of all that it is not like i had a marvelous summer 12 years back when I played FF7 and I cherrished the moment in my memories if thats what you where trying to say or whatever. The fact is that I have played the game more than once In some different times and the truth remains the same It is a jaw breaking outstanding Blissfull game and mark my words it will be again. Though it is logicaly posible to compare the game whith Golden Sun ( name which ever you please) I never say it wasnt, what i mean that that leaves Golden Sun extremly deminished crakled and blasted to oblivion hehe [Chuckles] . As for your preferences for the others FF games which I respect but do not agree well... thanks for the info

    what do you mean like... playing advent children?

  • BlissfulGopher

    Posted Nov 21, 2005 9:01 pm PT

    Does anyone actually think they would put the time, effort, and (not entirely insignificant amounts of) money into creating the assets for that trailer if they weren't planning to do *something* more with them? Sure, the could have re-used materials from Advent Children, I guess, but it seems probable that a remake, or at least a direct sequel, is on the way.

    .... Um, I have to comment on someone who said FFVIII had a better storyline. No.... don't think so. I am an adult, and I love FFVII much better than FFVIII. Yes, FVIII is a good game, but FF7 is far better. The characters and the story. It had moments that ripped your heart out, while others made you angry, while others make you laugh. FFVIII was good, but the story was very predictable in my mind. FF7 had so many plot twists that it left you baffled constantly. You say that one that had loved it as a kid may not love it as an adult anymore if they replayed it. I first played it as an adult after I play FFX and FFVIII and I loved it far better than either of the other two. How does age come into the factor anyway? FFVII has quite a mature and developed storyline, certainly more mature than the other FF's that I have played.

    But, on another note. I must say, though I would kill for a remake, I don't know if it is a realistic idea. Remember the heavy cursing in FF7? And what about the !@#$%^%!? I mean, with voice actors, you know they will have to pronounce those words out so that the !@#$ can not cover it. Also, if you wre to tweak up the graphics, it would be one hell of a bloody game. Think of all the points of gore in the game. Aeris' murder, Sephiroth's raid on Shinra's HQ, Tifa's father, Cloud with the sword in his chest, etc. etc. Square has always prided itself in the fact that it's games are T rated. However, if they do remake it exactly to the letter, then I don't see how this could escape an M rating. The main audience of FF are teens, so if it is rated M it will take a heavy blow in sales. So, I don't know how SE will be able to remake it. Regardless, if it comes out, I will be the first to pick it up. Through all my doubt, I hope it does come out. WEW! This is long.

  • hush404

    Why.... is it that all the cool extras are usually only ever released in Japan? Do Japanese developers not realise that there is a great number of american and european gamers who are rabit fans of their games? Why not make the rest of us gamers happy too?

    how many FFIIV's are there??? jeez stop it now. I have been hearing about FFIIV since as long as i can remember...hell, was it out in 1990? i was born then, they've probably been re-making this game since then. i don't get it, in fact, i don't get the fun of RPG's at all.

    Posted Nov 21, 2005 6:51 pm PT

    To devildante01, yes you can compare Golden Sun(1&2) to FFVII, what i'm wondering is how many of you people have actually pulled the game out and played it. Do you still actually like it? Or do you like it mearly because it is a game you like when you were a child. Many games i thought were great as a child really, now that I sit down to play them now, aren't. If they remade the game with only updated graphics it would be, for lack of a better word, crap. I mean gameplay and storywise FFVIII was a much better game, the Junction sys owns Materia anyday and FFVII is popular mearly because it was the first 3-D FF. I thin if any PS1 era Square game should be remade it should be FFTactics(and yes i have played and beaten every acpect of the 'new' GBA FFtactics advance and its battle system can't even get close to FFTactics job sys) which had a story i think was better than FFVII and a much better battle sys, you actually looked foward to battles. Woops that was a tad bit long, lol.

    I think they should have a remake of this classic RPG, actually I would like them to remake FFVIII as well.

    In addition, the Square-Enix development group better think of a good story-line before making a new Final Fantasy game.

    REMAKE!! As a Final Fantasy fan, I'd love to see the best of all the games ever with a better look... but I also think they shouldn't, cause maybe gamers expect TOO MUCH for this, and may be disappointed
