"So it has finally happened; Final Fantasy VII is finally, after a decade of teases being remade. Fans are rejoicing worldwide as the wounds that Square-Enix left us with during PSX 2014 have completely disappeared. Now of course the game has only just been announced and we have no idea how far from release it is, but with such a noteworthy history of teases, demos and more, not to mention that to many Final Fantasy VII is one of (if not) the greatest games of all time. I can’t help but cast my mind forward though, to a time after Final Fantasy VII Remake, to what’s next." - Paul James of BGU
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
Final Fantasy VIII...it's only fair
It's the main reason I've been wanting a FFVII for so long because I thought they would do FFVIII next then FFIX.
It would be amazing to see the Garden Battle remastered in all it's glory.
FFV and FFVI can easily be done for handhelds and as a digital title for the PS4/Xbox One.
I hope Final Fantasy IX, because it's my favorite
wouldn't mind VIII, and Tactics too
Can we at least get a remastered version of FFXII? I was really sad it didn't show up at E3.
Chocobo's Dungeon!
A Remake of Final Fantasy VI would be such a nerdgasm I'm not sure I could contain it.
