Ban of FFVII Sale?

It has to be fake.Plus Best Buy and Circuit City don't sell the game anymore so that would be pointless to take the game off their shelves if it isn't there in the first place

lol I knew what this would be about as soon as I saw the topic. It's FAKE so there's no need to worry FFVII fans :D This is what you are referring to I believe:


TEXAS (CNN) -- In light of recent terrorist attacks, the Department of Homeland Security has issued a ban on all sales and distribution of the 1997 hit video game, Final Fantasy VII

The game involves the main character, Cloud Strife, planting bombs in power plants in a heavily populated city. The protagonist works with the terrorist group "Avalanche" bombing locations throughout the beginning of the game.

The decision was made only hours after the bombing of a chemical plant in Fort Worth, Texas. The FBI is still hot on the trails of the culprit, going by the hacker alias "frootloops". An FBI spokesperson told CNN at the time that investigators have already seized equipment in the culprits house, but frootloops was nowhere to be found. "Upon confiscation of the equipment, we found a large collection of child pornography on the culprits hard drive." said the FBI spokesperson.

President Bush has already indicated he's opposed to Square-Enix role playing games. "Mario doesn't blow up power plants" Bush said on thursday. Mario was unavailible for comment.

Parenting groups are also up in arms against the game. "These 'role playing games' are teaching our children to use magic and summon demons, they're destroying our childrens future and making them worship satan. We can't allow this to continue." Various forms of Magic have been a staple of every game in the Final Fantasy series dating back to Final Fantasy released in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. "It's almost as bad as Harry Potter!" A parent who wishes to remain anonymous said.

Sen. Hillary Clinton also is highly opposed to the game.

"First Grand Theft Auto, and now this. I'm starting to think we should just ban all video games. Final Fantasy VII is an awful game, and should have never been created in the first place. I mean, look at the size of Tifa's breasts! They're destroying our childrens future. The problem of explicit video games is spiraling out of control." Clinton wrote in a letter to the head of the Federal Trade Commission. Tifa's breasts were unavailible for comment.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp., Best Buy Co. and Circuit City Stores Inc. have pulled the game from their shelves following the recent ban.

I searched for the original article and couldnt find it, in the end I managed to get the contents from here. Just to repeat, this is completely FAKE.

just reading that article, you can tell the fake hollywood writing in there making stuff up....it sounds so cheesyFenrirMM

Well polititions are still ignerant, But in all honesty, it could never be true, even if the congress wanted it to be, Game sails are one of the biggest contributions to US Treasury. But I must say, I am laughing my ass of right now, "Tifa's Breast Unavailable for a coment" lol, that right there should show you its fake.

Anyway I read something llike this quite a while ago, and after I read it I bought FFVII again, so its complete BS.

Banning FFVII will just be ridiclious (if it actually did happen) there are much worst games *cough*GTA*cough* it's a fantasy game, hence the name Final FANTASY, but would it make a real differnce, it was released 11 years agodarkandroid

Well as I said, And someone proved me wrong to a point, Final Fantasy is probably the most popular franchize to hit the US in the last ten years, And the government get a very big profit off the sales of any FF game, not because its a game, but because its a very popular series, and therfor more people will buy it.

I'll be the first person to tell you that the US Government is as dumb as a bag of bricks, but even they know a good thing when they see it, they dont really care about kids being exposed to violence, they only care about Money. So no FF game will ever be baned, unless it has actual sex in the game, other than that FF is completly untouchable. So even if it was true it would never happen.
