Your lust for more Final Fantasy 7 could be satisfied if rumors surrounding the epic RPG hold up. Apparently there’s a release schedule for SquareEnix’s E3 announcements that shows FF7 as one of their shock & awe reveals.

If the news is true, Final Fantasty 7 HD just might be releasing this holiday season. The remake of the game is rumored to be more than a visual upgrade or additional polished added to some old animations, according to one of SquareEnix's PR personnel. Final Fantasy 7 HD Remastered is reportedly a new version of FF7 built from the ground up, featuring a completely new engine to accompany the newly animated cut scenes.


According to the source, even the story has been adjusted, though most of it remains the same, some changes have been made to parts of the story. Better cut scenes, and an upgraded combat engine seems to be the most important changes according to what was explained to us. No word however, on if the new version is set to use the white engine featured in FF13; let’s hope not. According to the news we received, FF7 remastered’s cut scenes are going to look as good, if not better than, Final Fantasy Advent Children- The CG movie.(Yeah, we thought those were big claims as well.)

“The game will feel like a completely new game in a familiar settings” we were told. When we referenced the current onslaught of remastering going on, they responded with this.

“Final Fantasy 7 is more than ReMastered in HD, it’s almost a new IP because of what’s been done to the game, It’s the Final Fantasy every wants”.

The game is said to be coming as a PS3 exclusive, something to do with the licensing from the PS1. The tech demo released a few years back was apparently a prelude to what was planned for the game. The source claims since the release of the tech demo the graphics have vastly increased. He also stated that Square has had plans to release the FF7 remake for quite some time now, but the PS3’s past struggles to game market share prevented them from doing so. Now that the install base has increased, Square Enix feels it's the perfect time to reintroduce the series, the source says. A E3 announcement is expected, however, no official announcement has been made by SquareEnix on the topic.

The info does hold some weight given SquareEnix’s recent financial woes. This would be a perfect time to release a game that’s pretty much a guaranteed hit, and could generate a large amount of reveune. for now, we will see what the future holds, either way we will be at E3 2011 to find out the full details, so stay tuned. here’s the only teaser of FF7 remastered, lets hope it comes true.

Found this over at FFF... I guess we'll seeeeeee.

If it's true... I DETEST the fact that they plan on changing some of the story. They're probably gonna neutralize everything. Seriously, FFVII was brilliant in storyline already, you don't have to add crappy retcons. People are saying it's fake because SE never announces big stuff like this at E3... but they did that whole FFVII thing at that one E3 a few years ago, so it's not out of character if they do announce it.

if SE is making it and they feck it up, i intend to write a strongly worded letter to them.Posted Image

Just reading through it, it sounds really bogus. I don't think SE would announce that the story would be getting a complete overhaul, even if that was their plan. That would piss off many old school fans.

I don't know; take it with a grain of salt right now. Not long ago they announced it would take something like 20 years to remake FFVII according to the standard of perfection they have for it, and so they didn't plan to do it.

Yeah, that's what everyone else is saying. Seriously though, SE is stupid. I wouldn't put a mistake like announcing that the story is gonna be changed pass 'em.

Just think, if it's true... it's gonna blow big time to see the great story it had before changed drastically. :sad:

The third sentance in the article pretty much proves its just a rumour. That FF7 HD might just be released for the holiday season when last year they said it would take them about 20 years to remake VII.

I very seriously doubt that this is true, SE has far too many projects to concentrate on especially since Noruma is still busy with Versus XIII and if VII were to be remade I think Noruma would be involved in it.

And from looking at websites, all the big well known video game websites aren't even reporting on this. If this was suspected it would be all over the internet.

Yeah, that's what everyone is speculating but someone on another FF forum brought up how SE only said it'd take years because they could have been trying to throw us all off of their trail about this.

But still, it's all pretty much a rumor. However, just in case it has some validity to it I wanted to let everyone here know about it. ^_^

So far they seem to be redoing the FFs in chronological order, FFVII would have to wait it's turn if a remake was ever to come. Which it won't IMO.

What a lot of fans don't seem to realize is that SE could never remake VII exactly the way it was, and they certainly couldn't do it before most of us were middle aged lol. If they did bow to the remake pressure we'd probably have a VII with the layout of FFXIII :puke:

And speaking of XIII or Fabulous Nova whatever, it's their current baby which they are hyping with force, and determined to shove down everyone's throats. Even the mere mention of VII would completely overshadow it, and anything else they are doing.

Yup. I've heard nothing about this anywhere. Usually when there is something with the slightest weight behind regarding a VII remake the internet explodes.

Wait for E3 for actual news. It's really not a long wait at all. Better than spreading the same old baseless rumors.

Seriously? as much as I would freaken love to see More CG's of Aerith. I truly believe that it would totally be an epic fail.....If they remade it I feel they would make everything more Zerith/Cloti =____=; Judging from Tifa's and Zack's HUGE fanbase. Which Urks me greatly.
I'll gladly wait for E3 to see what awaits.

I read that SquareEnix at Sony Press Conference at E3 was suppose to announce a remake. But I thought it was the new Tomb Raider!? :ermm:

Eww @ changing story. I hope to god this is only another rumour >_>

If they change the story according to the preference of each huge fanbase and not stick to their own/original/canon story, i would actually mentally facepalm them.

The new Tomb Raider game is a reboot, not a remake. They are basically starting the series over again with a clean slate.

I agree with Kaldea just wait until news from E3 emerges. And also like Vixie said, SE are far too concerned with the XIII Fabula series so its going to be their main work for the near future.

Ah, okay. I was just assuming anyway! I think if this is true which it probably isn't then, the changes to the story IMO are probably just stuff that they added in CC like Genesis for example. I don't think they would remake a game over an LTD. That's just..silly! :lol:

I have mixed feelings about a remake. I would love to see the game with shiny new graphics and extras, but at the same time I don't want them touching the story. The story's already been screwed around with in Crisis Core, Dirge, etc. >__>

Yeah, that's what worries me too. I would hate it if they changed stuff around just so it can be neutral. Just leave it as it is.
Oh well, i'll just wait for some news to surface from E3.
