Last month, there was a picture of Cloud in a magazine with the words 'Coming Soon' underneath his name. Of course, being the wishful thinkers that we are, many thought this signalled one of three things.
Unfortunately, it was none of them.
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
Well duh.Can we stop with the FF7 remake stuff now?Even if SE is remaking it,it will be most likely for PC which would be a deal between Microsoft,SE,and Eidos or a PSP remake.I hope this "rumor" dies out soon.
Of course it was a false alarm.. why the hell would they announce the remake when they honestly have they arms fulled.. we've been told countless times that a remake will only get underway when certain members within Square have free time off their projects to work together.
It just so happens, that one of those members, Nomura, is working 3 or 4 different titles. I would love a remake, but you have more chance of seeing an announcement at TGS when Sony have their conference.
Think it's safe to say square have lately been the least talented dependable devs this generation. I just hope they haven't completely sold their souls. Abandoning your loyal fans in oder to compensate new ones is truelly the lowest form of scumery.
How do you release exclusives on the 360 and claim your just trying to gain more income by going multiplat. Err that's why Star Ocean(an original ps game)is eclusive to the 360 huh?
They should really STFU and deliver the games quickly because their credibilty is hanging on a short rope with many gamers.
PLAY BEYOND FANBRATS
So we know how much we have to spend to get it before we know what it is we are actually getting.......does that seem a bit backwards to anyone else?
Jeez if people like FF7 so much dig it out from the closet or what not and play it again. That's what I did, Dug up 7,8, and 9 and plan to replay through them again. Seriously didn't one person from the company state once they were done with Final Fantasy XIII they would look into it? I may be wrong, but I remember them saying that because their team/staff were busy with that and starting a FF7 process now would just delay both projects anyway.
