"We recently talked about whether or not the once-anticipated (though never announced) PS3 remake of Final Fantasy VII would still be relevant if it were released later this year. Would people care if it weren't also on PS4? Would we hold out for PS4 versions instead, or risk doubling dipping? Would you buy either version, or both? How much would you pay?" -GR
Final Fantasy VII 1997 exceeds 15.5 million units sold worldwide as of February 2026, reinforcing its legacy as the series best selling title.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Modern day publisher be like: "Failed to meet sales expectations. Pivoting to live service."
It's an absolute legend of a game. And I honestly really love how the remake trilogy is shaping up so far.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.
Baldurs Gate 1&2 were my games back in the day on PC. Icewindale and Neverwinter Nights as well
I'd buy it. I've loved the game for this long, I'll still love it in the future. I'd be way too curious to resist.
The more interesting thing would be to see what it did for sales of PS3 and PS4 consoles. It would be strange to see a final spike in PS3 sales and a dip in PS4 sales but that may actually happen.
Cloud in the new Dissidia game looks improved than that one shown in the FF7techdemo.
Well, I'd re-buy a PS3 console for it seeing as they are dirt cheap now.
Nah I still love the art style of VII , I feel SE would just destroy what makes it so lovable with all realistic graphics and such. Those big ol anime eyes and art style were what make it great and charming . I really don't want VII with XV graphics but more in line with OC and Dissidia
