Rumor Killer: FFVII Remake Is NOT Coming

07/15/2008 Written by Anthony Severino

While, I CAN confirm something having to do with FFVII will be announced soon,  I also have received the bad news that a FFVII remake is NOT the secret that has been rumored all around the net.

Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news, especially with the recent announcement of FFXIII not being PS3 exclusive any longer.  I am sure you all know that I wish I was confirming it right now.

Anyways.  Hopefully, I have some more info that I can actually talk about by the end of E3.

  2. Summon thy Pig Says:

    btw can we get a hint of what’s coming :D ?

  3. Phoenix8387 Says:

    Not what I wanted to hear.
    I so want to play FF7 and don’t want to dish out for a PS copy and I don’t think I could play it on PC… so I’ll hold out hope that it’ll show up some day.

    But I can’t wait to hear the news… as long as its good news.

  4. PlayStation Center Says:

    [...] Source [...]

  5. DevonTheDude Says:

    FF7 PSone release on PSN, or talking about FF7 Advent Children Blu-ray release and specs.

  6. DevonTheDude Says:

    Why won’t they put it out, they remade others for PSP and DS

  7. sev1512 Says:

    I am sorry guys, I wish I could say more. You know how these things can be.

    At least E3 is here so everything should e announced soon.

  8. E308 predictions! - Page 23 - MFG 5.1 Anime & Manga Forums Says:

    [...] commercial breaks, dumbass. they showed the conference commercial free. …Uh, wut? Oh btw, suck it faggots. [...]

  9. Broly Says:

    Can you least tell us if the announcement is HUGE!?

  10. Cruiz Dwyer Says:

    Maybe its a sequel, DMC style… i mean, Dirge does leave the possibility open.

  11. Jon Says:

    So you know a big announcement is coming and you know its not a PS3 remake of FFVII, but you cant tell us what it is yet. Can you tell us when you think the “Big FFVII Announcement” will be made?

  12. JonnyBigBoss Says:

    I’m not going to believe one random person on the net stating such. I really don’t think they’d remake FF7 at such a time with so many people working on 2 titles but still, I hope they announce something good.

  13. Honest Bob Says:

    I think your lying just to get more hits on this blog.

  14. Relation Says:

    No source – BS.

  15. Musiol Says:

    Sev, will this announcement surface on this S-E party or right after E3 or on E3? Is this something with the FF VII-game or sth else? Hope you could reply without breakin’ any NDA or insider code ;)

  16. Goonboy Says:

    Its not a remake, but rather a sequel that will be announced

  17. uh... Says:

    No source.

  18. LeShin Says:

    Well I guess we can only wait to hear the news, unfortunately I got a funny feeling it won’t make up for the megaton bomb MS dropped recently :(

    Sev, how are you finding E3 so far man?

  19. Musiol Says:

    I forgot about most important question. Will this FF VII announcement be PS3-only?

  20. Fersis Says:

    the FF VII announcement is probably the movie in bluray on a bundle.
    I really doubt that the sony guys have anything big to counter attack MS.

    Im a little bitter right now ,im usually more optimistic.

  21. Oner Says:

    People who tout “no source = BS” or “no source = PSLS trying to get hits” obviously don’t know what Sev has offered in the past (proven btw) with his connections.

    You can try and spew what you want, but those of us who have followed Sevs/PSLS’ info have absolutely no reason to question anything with his PROVEN track record.

  22. ..................................... Says:

    yeah i figured it would be the psn/xbla release then a new game set in ff7 not really a sequel but a new game kinda like ff7 doc

  23. Trapper02 Says:

    We need something to lift our spirits after yesterday. Sony i want to believe again!

  24. Fersis Says:

    Oh my… please sev, kill the rumor that MGS4 its only a timed exclusive.
    And that Konami would bring it to the 360 :’(

  25. ..................................... Says:

    theres a playstation in mgs4 i dont thnik they would model the special edition ps3 into the game if they were going to port it to 360….

  26. ..................................... Says:

    i could be wrong but i doubt it

  27. PS3 Game Online Says:

    Nice post, I enjoy a lot playing games actually, especially the latest console tech like the PS3. IMHO, PS3 is way better than Wii or XBox 360.

  28. BigLiar Says:

    Thanks for the anticipation,

    Sony’s E3 just ended, and there’s nothing ,not even anything related with RPG is announced .

    Thanks for pretending to be the insider and destroying thousand of dreams,

  29. Jon Says:

    The only other thing Square Enix could announce that FF fans would consider a “Big FFVII Announcement” would be a PS3 exclusive RPG sequel to FFVII. Perhaps instead of Sephiroth, the gang has to defeat Genesis this time around. I would consider that “BIG”.

  30. Sephira Says:

    Maybe this is true. However, I find that kind of odd that Sev is the only one to be posting this “rumor killer” scoop…I’ve been looking all over the net, and only found Sev’s topic.
    I mean, even if Sev has sources (which are realiable) I ought to believe that others (who are also close to Sony…SE…ect) would have posted something too no?
    I also wonder why Hashimoto is teasing us by mentioning multiple possibilities , and still talk of a possible remake eventhough Sev knows that there won’t be one…

    Another thing that puzzles me is that : Hashimoto is still trying to puzzle out what the “shocking” announcement regarding FFVII could possibly be…
    Eventhough Hashimoto works at SE (co- producer?) he doesn’t know. So, it is hard to beleive that Sev would truly know. Unless of course, Hashimoto is teasing us, which is a possibility.

    Sev, how can you be entirely sure that whoever gave you the info didn’t lie to you? After all, it’s really suppose to be a Surprise! ^^

    One last question, eventhough a lot of people seem to say that your sources are reliable, for those who haven’t heard about you a whole lot, a soure would be reeaally appreciated!

    I thank you in advance for a reply! ^^

  31. Phiros Says:

    Will it be a game or a movie?

  32. KramMarkio Says:

    I’m willing to bet that it’s just Cloud being playable in the upcoming fighter “Final Fantasy Dissidia” for PSP.
    I think it’s already confirmed that they’ll be showing off Dissida at the conference on the 2nd or 3rd of august, right?

  33. Connor Says:

    All I want to know is, are there going to be any new FF7 related games that aren’t shitty spinoffs like Dissidia?
