Care to wager when the PlayStation 4 remake of Final Fantasy VII will be released? How about the Nintendo 3DS releases of Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest VIII? Amazon apparently has some idea.
As of right now, they are taking pre-orders for the game, with a placeholder date of December 30, 2016. It seems unlikely that the highly anticipated remake would release at the last day of the year, compared to, say, around the Black Friday holiday period. So, it’s more likely that Amazon believes the game will be out before 2017.
Previously, Amazon actually listed the game for a January 2, 2017 release. Of course, details are scanty on the game‘s development and progress, so we wouldn’t have a way to gauge if this is likely or not publicly.
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
Hmm if this is true that's a bummer.
Nintendo already announced they would both come on 2016 - summer for VII and late 2016 for VIII
Lol Amazon havent a clue. FF7 wont be til 2018.
It would be great if sites stopped reporting on this... Amazon has been using year-end placeholder dates for 10 years.
