It’s time to pull out your buster swords, hop on a chocobo and say hello to your floating, legless grandfather. ESRB has given a rating to a PSN release of everyone’s favorite 1997 Squaresoft RPG, Final Fantasy VII.
Sometime soon, the timeless classic will be available for download and play on your PS3 or PSP console. FFVII was made available on Japanese PSN last month, and while no specific date is yet available, it won’t be long before those across the water can reminisce in what is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential games of all time.
Being that the game is so difficult (and expensive) to find as hard-copy these days, this will be a great way for players to get their hands on the title.
Wonderful news for those with PS3s, although you mention the issue of players getting their hands on FF7, in regards to new players, it’s a fabulous game but it’s not aged too well. I’m not sure it’s as accessible as it once was given all the improvements in regards to control in newer FF instalments…
Perhaps this is the lead up to a remake? We can but hope.
Possibly true, I suppose we’ll have to wait for people’s response to find out. I think those who played it back in 97 and hold it in their hearts as a revered title will have no problem dealing with its now-inadequacies, but more modern gamers might not be struck with the same overall impact.
<33 Yippie!
Maybe now that I’m done w/school – I’ll actually play it!
(Guess that means I’ll actually have to bring it home then, huh?)
this game will never die … and is just too much fun to play i must say and the in clutios of the weapons should be nice but think the golden saucer and all the minigames …. how can you not love it. hope this makes it and any word on the release date?
I love this game. It’s 2nd game in this series I played. I am looking for it.
