Final Fantasy VII rereleased for PS3, PSP

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Jun 3, 2009 11:55 am PT

E3 2009: Square Enix role-playing classic launches three consecutive days of PlayStation Network updates.

LOS ANGELES--The entire game industry is working overtime because of this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo, and the people working on Sony's PlayStation Network store are no different. Ordinarily updated only on Thursdays, the online storefront for the PlayStation 3 and PSP is getting three new volleys of content this week for North American consumers.

Has the statute of limitations on spoilers for this one passed yet?

Sony opened up the release spigot Tuesday with the addition of two hit PlayStation games to the downloadable catalog: Final Fantasy VII and Medal of Honor. Final Fantasy VII is the oldest game in the Square Enix series yet to be remade, but at least those clamoring for Cloud and Sephiroth will be able to relive the original story for $9.99. Meanwhile, Electronic Arts' original World War II shooter Medal of Honor will cost the more standard $5.99.

The rerelease isn't the only Final Fantasy-related content new to the PlayStation store. Sony also put up new themes, trailers, and wallpaper for the upcoming PSP fighting spin-off Final Fantasy: Dissidia. Rounding out the releases are free downloadable content for Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce and a slew of E3 trailers for Uncharted 2, Fat Princess, Heavy Rain, and more.

    It is good that Sony has put FF7 in the Playstation Store because it is simply one of the top games of PSX. I assume it will be upscaled and smoothed also because of PS3's game settings in the xmb. However, the PC version which is available for free via BT is still better because of the patches you can add to the game which make it more life like. here is a look at a few things the patches will change i promise you wont regret clicking the link below to see a picture of what i am talking about! http://fem1.uniag.sk/Miroslav.Jezik/ff7/samples/ffVII_3_after2.jpg

    First of all, I live in Iceland, and well I am trying to buy a PSP second hand because it's much cheaper and a PS3 costs as much as 623 dollars here (I calculated the price) and I think that if I can get my hands on a PSP, a memory stick, Crisis Core and Dissidia when it gets released, I am going to be one happy gus!!!!!

    o_0

    My eyes deceive me! Damn it! I don't have a ps3. psp yes, ps3 no. > Grrr.

    Everyone with a ps3 better buy it so that they get the hint and make a full remake. I wouldn't put it past the geniuses to think oh well we wouldn't make an money doing that.

    They've done it before the cheeky bastards.

    Awesome! I never played FFVII before. I've only played Crisis Core & Dirge of Cerberus and watched the Last Order OVA & Advent Children.

    i would buy this game, even the day it came out, but my brother is the one that owns the "Sony" consoles, both the ps3 and psp. Before I met FFVII (which was about 3 months ago) i was a Nintendo fan, but I did buy the FFVII box set and the blue ray and crisis core- which was worth the fight and begging, but alas my brother lent me the psp.

    But i am doing my best to buy FFVII products so they can get the money (btw my mom says they are becoming billionares and well me the opposite) but in hopes that the will remake it!

    Currently I'm saving for a ps2 becuz that's the only console i don't own, and well i want to get dirge of cerberus

    people who have PS3s and love FF7 please buy this stuff. Who knows, with the boosted sale of this thing Squeenix might give the remake a shot. Or not.

    But I'm happy I bought the thing. Now I can finally bring justice to the game.

    And not that you would want to know, but my brother abused my copy of the game by writing my name on the CD using a mechanical pencil...WITHOUT THE LEAD, ON THE SIDE WHERE THE DATA IS AT. And I was about at the end...(hwo cruel)

    I haven't finished the game since then, but now...I'll be happy to repeat it all over again just so I can finish this once and for all.

    What I don't get is why people (one of my friends mostly) is pissed that it's not a complete remake. Why the f*** does it matter, this is the first time I can have FF7 on the go and that's more then enough for me. From what I've heard a complete remake wouldn't even come out till after 13 is complete so this more keep me tide over until then

    okay so is this a slight remake or just a re-release of the ps1 original, either way OH YEAH for everyone who doesn't still have a copy of the original, im still playing the original on my ps1 with GameShark baby cuz after the first time playing it, I did not wanna have a crap load of random battles again.
