We have no words, only feelings. In an announcement that was rumoured, but we couldn't possibly believe, Final Fantasy VII is being remade on PlayStation 4. No, really, it is - and we're not talking about the PS4 remaster. An actual remake of Cloud and co.'s epic journey.
All we have right now is a CG trailer, but honestly, that's enough. We're going to go and lie down now, while you all lose your minds in the comments section below.

WHAT
It's about damn time
Worth staying up all night, just for this!
FF VII was the reason I skipped school for the first time and lost my sleep
Getting everything without guides, making gold chocobo, mixing materia and killing the weapons had a great feeling!
Also wondering how Cloud will look at Don Corneo's...
Simply amazing, i lost so much of my childhood to this game game!
Incredible, got me out of bed this did. Mind blown.
Well, well. This is a shocker, all things considered.
Does this mean the fanboys can finally sleep?
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! I've literally waited all my adult life for this. Catching and mating Chocobo's as a youth was amazing. Red XIII __ and tifa __ and... AND (BRAIN EXPLODES AND DIES)
I Cannot Wait!!!
Please watch the language -Tasuki-
Speechless. Utterly and completely speechless. Ff7 has to be my all time favorite game when I think about it. I was around 12 years old when it came out and I fell in love.. literally played it for about 2 years mining every bit of content possible out of it and then have subsoquently played it evert year or two since...
I've been dreaming of this for so long. Nostalgia is on overdrive !!! Can't wait. I wonder how far along development is.
I bet this game still manages to release before FF15.
FF7 remake in 2017, with FF15 as a PS5 launch title. Sounds about right
Would have been better if it was FF VI, VII was the downfall of the series.
It's really happening. There are still tears in my eyes. Seriously have been waiting for this since playing FFX and thinking - "Man, I wish they would remake FF7 in this engine." And then years of listening to all the excuses, and all the naysayers. And now it's actually coming.
I'm overwhelmed.
Of course I was already whelemed from TLG. I'm lucky I'm still breathing.
There's really no reason for me to ever watch anther videogame presentation ever again. TLG and FFVII. Nothing will ever be able to top that. Ever. Never. Ever.
@JaxonH - I already told my wife FFVII would be a PS5 launch title. We can wait, it's the first game we ever played together. Well first JRPG, we played Parasite Eve first, but that was relatively short at 15 hours and didn't prepare us for FFVII. Had no idea back then what a videogame was capable of.
The timed exclusive nonsense. SE is going to drive me up a damn wall with that. First Tomb Raider, now this. At least Sony didn't hide that fact though. We all know what 'console debut' means. MS and CD have been ridiculous about clarifying RotTR.
I hope it comes on 4 discs
@JaxonH
And KH 3 to launch the PS6 and Xbox Three.
Overall ff7 is probably my favourite game I'm so happy this is happening, the music gave me chills at the start 😊
This is awesome. I don't think I'll ever play FF7 on my PS3 now lol. I'm definitely gonna get this.
@Gamer83 Come on did you honestly expect FF VII Remaster not to be a console exclusive after all the original was for the PS.
Visually, will the gameplay look like the original FFVII or will SE go for the Advent Children approach? Either way, I'm totally hyped for this game!
@Tasuki
It's just the timed stuff. It said 'first on PS4' so we know it'll be on Xbox One. I just don't care at all for these kind of deals. If you're going to pay for exclusivity, pay for full.
@Gamer83 How bout not have them at all so everyone can enjoy the game no matter what system you have.
@Tasuki
Yeah, in an ideal world that's what I want. But it's obvious it's not going to stop. Sony and MS are going to be trading punches with third party deals. It is what it is, I just hope they're upfront about them and not coy. Sony has been clear about what SF V is, and what FF VII is. MS is just giving the 'yeah, timed.' With Tomb Raider. Stop the garbage and tell us what the actual deal is.
Yes, yes, yes, finally. The only remake I want. Mind exploded =]. Can't wait to see some gameplay.
Now we need a Crisis Core HD for vita
@Apczak Hopefully we get something from the Square conference tonight. Soon I'll worry about the quality of the finished product and the release date, but for now - I celebrate!
Yeaahhhhh!!!! I've been scouring the internet after hearing last year they were doing a HD Remake, which I was always going to buy, and with a release date of Spring 2015 I've been getting edgy waiting for it. But hearing has completely changed my mood. Absolutely Ecstatic, by far my most favourite game ever ever everrrr. I hope its got a 2015/ early 16 release date.
@Aaronzord I wouldn't be surprised if they do a surprise announcement in their conference that it is now on the store and ready for download.
Honestly it can't be that much work, after all, the game is complete. Surely all they need to do is port it to the PS4 architecture (which I thought would be easy now that it's more standardised than PS3 was) and make the Steam achievements list into a trophy list.
@SteveButler2210 That'd be the nuts! I went into E3 hoping for a HD release date announcement. To get confirmation a remake is in the works, and then an instant release of the HD version would be awesome.
Would make a lot of sense for them to do so if they want to make the most of the hype. Gotta fund that remake somehow!
I was really hoping for kingdom hearts but hopefully that's today. I was still amazed by this. Hopefully it doesn't take them 10 years...
Literally on countdown to the SE Conference now. This surely has to have a date attached to it later on. The thought of it being not very far away is getting me far too excited.
@kyleforrester87 Exactly, it'd make a lot of business sense! Now if they could do that and then make it a hat trick by following up with either a) a good chunk of gameplay footage of KH3, or b) confirmation of and a release date for FFXII HD (with a Vita version), I would be very happy indeed!
@SteveButler2210 Really want to see how they are going to pull it off. There are certain sections, like temple of the ancients (running over that clock) etc. that I think will need to be changed quite considerably to match the increased realism given by the higher graphical fidelity. Then more outlandish characters like Cait Sith will be cumbersome during cut scenes. We better get something tonight!
This is cool news and I spent many hours playing this back in the day.
Doubt I will be buying this though as I don't have the patience any more for random battles!
I'll give it a whirl, I sort of enjoyed the original, didn't love it though
I'm still playing through the original.
