"Veteran Square Enix character designer Tetsuya Nomura has revealed to Dengeki magazine that they're prepping quite a doozy of an announcement right alongside the release of the Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children Complete movie.

According to translations, FF7ACC is pretty much done now and they're just about to announce the Japanese release date for that movie. And when they eventually do, they'll be dropping one Jenova Mother of a bomb. All sources point towards the upcoming DKΣ3713 event, o..."

"In a rather lengthy interview, Square Enix producers who crafted Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII had an interesting discussion now that they're able to just sit back and watch how fans react to a classic RPG's prequel on the Sony PlayStation Portable. What really caught our attention is the possibility of having another Final Fantasy VII title, which could easily be the remake we've all been clamoring for.

"If you'd known the DS was going to be as popular as it is, would you have chosen to make Crisis Core for it instead?

The DS was already out at the time we came up with the concept of Crisis Core. It really wasn't an option to begin with and it wasn't something we regretted later because whereas, yes, there are a lot of DSs out there - but does that mean that our products sell in relation to that? That our sales grow with how many DSs or PSPs there are out there?

It's not really the case..."

"The PS3 version of Final Fantasy VII will include these new features:

• Two additional sidequests that were left out of the original 1997 release
• A new secret outfit for Aerith on Wall Market
• Five new secret bosses
• Extended cinematics with full voice acting

[...]

There has not been a tentative date for release set as of yet, but Square-Enix executives have hinted at a possible 2010 or 2011 release."

"According to a reliable source at SCEJ, Square-Enix has something big planned for The Last Remnant's release. Or rather, they have two "something bigs" planned. First up: they will be including a 22-minute playable demo of Final Fantasy XIII with the PS3 version of The Last Remnant. This demo lets us play through a section of FFXIII that doesn't occur until a good 20 hours into the game, which leads us to believe the developers are progressing nicely. Heck, they might even be ahead of schedul..."

"t's our favorite rumor, primarily because Final Fantasy VII is one of our favorite games of all time. But after our hopes were dashed for the umpteenth time late last year when Square-Enix never got around to announcing a FFVII remake for the PS3, we basically stopped hoping. We thought all the evidence was pointing in that direction, but it just never happened.

However, 1Up is bringing this rumor back once again, and again, we're feeling that old familiar thrill of excited anticipation. I..."

"1UP: Does Crisis Core mark the finale for the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII series?

HT: No, it does not. The Compilation's finale will take some other form."

"Someone, or some company rather, has made what was once a pipe dream come true: Final Fantasy VII on the NES. Unfortunately, neither the cartridge nor the ROM itself is branded with a release date, so I have no idea when this happened. All I know is that it was tagged NJ063 by the unlicensed cartridge factory, and was programmed by Shenzhen Nanjing Technology Co, Ltd, a company which now produces MP3 and MP4 audio players.

From start to almost finish, the game follows the PlayStation port...."

"This month's edition of Official Playstation Magazine has a small follow-up to the interview they had last issue with the director of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core; Hajime Tabata. Quite a lot of the questions actually revolved around the Final Fantasy VII franchise though, rather than Crisis Core itself.

It is worth noting that when asked again about the possibility of a Final Fantasy VII remake, he said:

"The possiblity for a remake may become greater if, for instance, the schedules o..."

"Now, for the third in the series, we present: Link vs. Cloud. It's Nintendo's most beloved vs. Square Enix's finest. We're sensing another hard-fought war along party lines… so let's introduce the competitors and get this thing started!"

"Square's big budget fan service film, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, is heading to Blu-ray and it's going to provide much more than an HD transfer. A new trailer showcased at TGS shows a few new scenes that expand upon the film's storyline. One scene took place in the alleys of Midgar as children afflicted with Geostigma appear to be melting goo. Another sequence shows Sephiroth stabbing Cloud through the chest, skewering him and swinging him like a piece of dead meat. Not only will the ..."

"With the Tokyo Game Show approaching, Square Enix have flooded the fans with yet more remake rumours.

A new "secret video" from the FFVII prequel "Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core" has sparked fan's interests, showing a message saying "To be continued in Final Fantasy VII". Could this simply mean that fans should seek out the PSone game to continue the FFVII story? Or is it yet another hint at a possible remake?

But this "secret video" is not the only thing that has got fans talking. Squ..."

The Potion Concept is "Sephiroth Flavor"
Supposedly it’s more delicious than the last one.

"Sony and Square Enix are celebrating 10 years of Final Fantasy VII with a special edition FFVII Sony PSP console and game bundle, which we have to say, looks quite damn snazzy.

The FFVII Sony PSP bundle features a lovely custom FFVII silver PSP, which currently can be pre-ordered in Japan for 25,889 Yen (approx £108), with a shipping date of Sept 13th, but no European date has been announced.

The FFVII package features the new slim silver PSP with Final Fantasy logo and graphics on the..."

"In October, Square-Enix is planning to release a series of Final Fantasy miniature trading figures. The first volume of the 60mm tall, pocket-sized characters will presumably form part of a growing collection of releases in the future. The pieces are limited in availability, so GamerSquad would advise acting with haste come October if you fancy grabbing them and a factory sealed container to hold them in."

"In EDGE's Final Fantasy special this month, they have interviewed Tetsuya Nomura. It looks alot like the interview with him that we posted earlier, but at least this time we can understand it! He pretty much covers the same points, and pretty much secures the much discussed Playstation 3 exclusivity of Final Fantasy XIII, or thats how I read it anyway. He speaks a lot about how they're doing so many things they haven't be able to do before thanks to the Playstation 3, and the fact that it was..."

"About the development of FF7: Kitase says the sudden change to 3D and the new PS hardware was a big deal which made the work important. Nomura said it was exhausting, but that the experience for him was wonderful. This is mainly because, back when working on FFV and FFVI, he had a lot of ideas that got rejected. With FF7, he finally had some freedom to do what he wanted.

Regarding Nomura's rut as a "30% batter" (because about 3 out of 10 ideas he submitted were accepted), he was rejected e..."

"Tabata: Up until now it wasn't possible to really depict Sephiroth as a more human character. In order to help Angeal he will have to take actions to deceive Shinra to ensure that Shinra commands fall through, and this leads into an unintentional give and take with Zack. Thus Sephiroth's true self will be a big highlight.

The voice acting has been improved again. While the seiyuu have been bringing Aerith, Zack, and Sephiroth to life from the outset, they've had to spend time under a lot ..."

""THE SHOCK! At a few hours of looping, here are that fall between my hands an official official statement from SE indicating the "remake from very appreciated FF VII on Ps3, only". Whereas Sony was made bad blood with all these exclusivenesses which pass to him under the nose, veiled that an advertisement comes to flatter its catalogue. SE does not finish any surprising since, rappellons it, since the technological demo of FF VII for annopncer the arrival of the PS3, nothing had not filtered ..."

Today a rumor has again has risen again about Final Fantasy VII remake. According to a Konami insider, a Final Fantasy VII remake has been confirmed for the PlayStation 3.

First of all we have the 1UP release date that was added sometime ago and now this. Information is coming from a Konami Insider, the very same guy that brought you the Pro Evolution Soccer 7 news earlier on. He has said that he heard the news from the developers meeting.

Proof that he is some what reliable here is a ...

Either the staff at one of the world's biggest gaming websites has gone mad, or they know something we only dream of. For some reason, Final Fantasy VII's page at 1UP.com has a release date inside: January 1, 2008. I highly doubt the release date is real, but are 1UP.com hinting that we should expect a remake announcement soon?
