FFVII Fans Your prayers have been answered

In this months issue of Game informer. Square Enix has announced a FF7 remake for the PS2. It will be graphically remade and and feature full voice overs. It will also include a hour long DVD entitled the advent children. This is a follow up DVD with more plot..etc. ITs slated to release this summer in japan which means holiday 2004 US.

I'd not trust Game-Informer on this one. I think I'll hold of on being excited until I see this posted in reputable magazines and gaming websites. I'd imagine that if this were true, we'd have heard about it before now. Gaming mags are behind on the news when compared to websites, and not a single site out there has made mention of this exciting news. If this ends up being true, then great. I just wouldn't start believing it just cause Game Informer reports it....

EDIT: While browsing news-sites for even a tiny iota of information on a possible FFVII remake, I came across something interesting on IGN's PS2 site. They said something along the lines that "FFVII will be officially unveiled 11/19". However, they weren't clear on wether or not this meant Advent Children, or a remake. I guess I'll have to keep my eyes on this story to see what developes.

Go out and buy the november issue of game informer. They have full screenshots. I'd scan em but my scanner is broken.



EDIT: 700th post !!!!!!!!11

First off, I have a subscription to GI. I got it free when I signed up with Software Etc used game discount program. I'd not pay a single cent for that piece of shit magazine otherwise. Second, are you sure those aren't the same shots of FFVII Advent Children that have been making thier rounds on the net recently? Again, I'll believe this story when I see the news posted elsewhere.

I got the same mag, and the pics r from the movie not the game seeing how the game isnt even made yet. So yes the pics r from the mopvie and not of the game

[Cyberxion]

That's what I thought. So this is another case of where Game Informer misrepresents information. They got the screens of the FFVII movie, and without checking thier facts, proclaimed the existance of a FFVII re-make. Y'know, I guess they could still be right. I doubt it, but you never know. I guess I'll continue to wait for confirmation from a mag/website with a better reputation then GI.

[Howie]

Try doing a Google search...result = none. I bet this is fake. AC is not fake though.

[Cyberxion]

Oh, there's no doubt that Advent Children is real. I just would've thought that if Square announced a FFVII remake, it'd be HUGE news.

While I know you are not lying about that, are you sure it said 'FFVII'? Because 11/19 is the date FFXII finally will be unveiled. Either IGN screwed up, you read wrong or a FFVII remake will be unveiled at the same time as FFXII. I would, of course, prefer the last outcome.

I'm not a moron. I can read. I know what I read, and what I read said FFVII. I thought the same thing you did though, that IGN had screwed up. That is why I said that I'd have to keep my eyes on any news related to a FFVII sequal.

Read that. The last paragraph to be exact. I'm sure they meant FFXII, but they have been known to mix news stories without giving it much thought as to wether or not they'd confuse thier readers by doing so.

I'd like to see a remake, but I have to agree with the others that they've probably just confused it with Advent Children, especially since, prior to Advent's announcement, one of the speculations was a remake of FFVII...

I knew it. They totally screwed up.

And I know you are not a moron, but you know, insomania, alcohol etc can make you see... stuff.

I'm laying off the booze my friend. But the insomnia is indeed a problem. And hey, I had to check it a few times myself to make sure I didn't read it wrong.

Really? No drinking?

And yeah it did sound to good to be true. I mean, two Final Fantasy games to be announced on the same day! I mean, wow! Oh well.

Nope. No drinking. I wanna lay off the booze for awhile and get healthy, y'know? Anyway, that is a shame about FFVII though. I'd have liked to have seen a remake, or a sequal.
