In a move that many of you will have no doubt saw coming, the PSone to PC port of Final Fantasy VII was released on the PlayStation 4 PlayStation Store during Sony's PlayStation Experience press conference. The game is currently available to download right now in North America, but there's no sign of it just yet in Europe.
The title currently costs $10.87, but this discounted price is only applied for a limited time - from now until the 12th December, to be precise. After that, the enhanced PSone game will cost a somewhat steep $15.99.
Have you already grabbed this one, or are you just about to? Sharpen your buster sword in the comments section below.
Update: Final Fantasy VII is now available in Europe - it costs £8.99/€10.99, and there's no sign of any limited discounts. It's also worth pointing out that buying the game on PS4 nets you a lovely theme for your console. Hurrah!

Comes with a theme! The music makes me tingle.
Or 8.99 GBP. Someone buy Sony a new calculator for Christmas!

(£8.99 including free Midgar Theme) Is it just me or are there some people who would happily pay £8.99 for just a Midgar Theme?
OMG! YES!
I can see it now in here Europe but I can't see any PS2 game yet!
By the way you can tell prices in € as well. It costs €10.99 here.
@VanillaLake It wont kill anyone to go see for themselves. I'm pretty sure it's about the same everywhere.
@Riririn Easier for one writer than for thousand of readers though.
Downloading my copy now,I think this is probably the sixth time since the original came out that I've bought it, dear god i am sad
Sweet that it is discounted, I will have to go get it and return the borrowed and untouched PS1 copy to my friend.
@VanillaLake Thanks for the info, I've added it in.
I wonder how many copies this has sold today? Maybe it'll hit the number 1 PSN spot for December - that'd be quite an amazing feat!
@ShogunRok Much appreciated.
Just out of curiosity, is this PC version too demanding to run on PS3, or did Sony just skip PS3 with this since the PS1 version is available for $10?
It looks nice and all, but it doesn't look that demanding, like most everything else they showed today. The remake, absolutely PS4.
@rjejr It's not remotely demanding, there aren't any new assets over the PS1 original. Just the same 3D models running at a higher res, and a somewhat fixed translation but not really what it should be. I guess they just skipped the PS3 because the PS3 was superseded by the PS4 over 2 year ago. You gotta let go, man!
Incidentally, I would recommend getting this on PC instead (or as well, if you're feeling rich) because there's a great translation made for it that fixes all the nonsense from the original, much of which this remaster doesn't. If you don't care about that, then obviously just get the PS4 one.

PSN chose a hell of a time to stop accepting my debit card. To be fair, I wouldn't start playing it just yet anyway. I also have the Steam version with 140 hours on the clock.
@Matroska Well honestly I still have the original discs in their original case, and they do work on PS3, so I don't really need to buy any of these. I would buy a PS4 for the remake, but will probably be buying a PS5 for that.
How is this game on the PS4?
@WanderingBullet We'll have a review at some point next week if you can wait that long.
@ShogunRok Sure, I don't mind and thanks.
Bought it, playing it, loving it. My 6 year old daughter is enjoying it to and was excited to see Cloud as she only knew him from Kingdom Hearts.
Minutes shy last night of being in the first ten people to get Cloud picked by the Don haha!
@Matroska are you sure this hasn't got the new translation? I'm certain that some of the lines I'm seeing have been tweaked.

@SteveButler2210 It has a newer translation than the original but still with some errors and accidental misinformation.
Does any one no what's up with the final fantasy 7 bundle does any one no if it means u get all the games that came with the three disc case on ps1 for free and if it does when does the other ones come out or is there another meaning to the bundle option
