Today Final Fantasy VII will celebrate its 10th anniversary. About one week ago the old rumours came back to life again: will there be a Final Fantasy VII remake?
This rumour actually started back in 2000, when people wished for a Final Fantasy VII remake on the PlayStation 2. As we all know, this game has never been released on the PlayStation 2.
Ever since the E3 back in 2005, when Sony finally revealed all the PlayStation 3 details, and they also showed a Final Fantasy VII technical demo for the PlayStation 3. Was this the confirmation of the highly anticipiated Final Fantasy VII remake?
Square Enix never wanted to confirm or deny this rumour so far.
Now the rumours are back again, and Square Enix is expected to announce the title today...
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
If they are making FFVII for PS3 I think we'll hear about it at E3 or TGS this year. If not, then you can expect that it wont ever happen.
Square-Enix has redone/rereleased Final Fantasy 1-6 in some form to date. VII is the next in line and its just a matter of when. I honestly hope soon.
Would sell like 15~20 million consoles; it would be epic. Square would be insane not to make it...but then again, there's always the risk of screwing SOMETHING up. They pretty much got all the voice actors they need from Advent Children, and considering the FFXIII team was inspired by AC. . .
It's a strong possiblity. The creator said he's definitely considering it, and I know revamping the battle system would do wonders. It should still be materia-based of course, but match the action seen in Advent Children/FFXIII.
I mean, I still remember how shocked everyone was when Squenix showed their real-time FF7 intro on PS3. Fanboys freaked everywhere.
If Final Fantasy 7 would be released on PS3, PS3 would be outselling the other two consoles. Everybody loves FFVII
a wish become true. FFVII is still my favorite RPG of all time.
