The rumors of a (perhaps inevitable)Final Fantasy VIIremake hitting the PlayStation 3 refuse to die, being given even more life thanks to Square-Enix’s promise of a “majorFFVIIannouncement” at its upcoming DKΣ3713 shindig. Further to this isa new rumorsurfacing about the original version ofVIIbeing ported to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.
This rumored port will be the original game, and is supposedly arriving under the PSN’s “PS1 downloadable classics” banner, along with the XBLA version. The mysterious insider source (aren’t they soconvenient?) suggests thatFFVIIcould arrive in downloadable form by the end of the year.
True? Who knows. Plausible? I wouldn’t shoot it out of the sky on first sight. It certainly makes sense forFFVIIto hit the PSN, but I must say that the idea of it visiting XBLA, perhaps with achievements, is interesting. Can we get a “Human Kebab — Aeris Gets Skewered” for five points, please?
