Final Fantasy 7 Arrives on PSN in Japan
This news is so awesome that it took us several days to fully process it. Square Enix has released a Japanese language version of Final Fantasy 7 on the Playstation Network (PSN) in Japan. Since it is a disk image of the original PS1 title, the game is playable on both the PSP and the PS3 home consoles. The game costs $15 and is a Japanese translation of FF7 International. This translation of the improved American version of the game adds a better inventory management system and an additional cutscene that was not present in the Japaese original.
Unfortunately, unless you can speak and read Japanese, this game is like a tempting but bitter fruit. Strangely, neither Square Enix nor Sony have commented on a possible North American localization. What is up guys? How difficult could it be to release a decade-old PS1 game and make our dreams come true?
You could be playing this on your PS3 right now... if you lived in Japan.

Hahah, I don't live in JP though and bought mine on the American PSN...amazing, eh? But in English, this obviously spells that it's finally out in America on the PSN. Yay!
Also, I have heard that if it sells well enough, SE just might maybe make a fully fledged graphically upgraded remake of FF7, exclusively for the PS3.
Yes. That remake we wanted is actually possible if this sells well enough. Maybe...assuming that's not a rumor.
But! Even if that's just a rumor, and not true at all. This is well worth the purchase.
Ten dollars for a game that otherwise physically would cost 80+ on eBay due to it being out of print and rare...it's basically a steal, given how long the game actually is.
Nostalgia is still there, too. I thought it would be somewhat dead after all this time...but i'm playing it now, and the nostalgia is still there...amazing.
