FFXIII Playable Demo, FFVII PS3 Remake CONFIRMED [April Fool's 08]

StarJet | April 01, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 
It seems that with the release of The Last Remnant for the PS3, there's going to be a 22 minute playable demo of Final Fantasy XIII. And also, somewhere embedded in the code of the game, is " undisputed confirmation that the long-awaited and oft-speculated-upon Final Fantasy VII remake for the PS3 will arrive in 2009!". What would this mean?
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 schedule. Now, you may figure that this is the biggest detail we uncovered, but it's not. Oh, it's really, really not. At some point during The Last Remnant (we don't know exactly when), we will get undisputed confirmation that the long-awaited and oft-speculated-upon Final Fantasy VII remake for the PS3 will arrive in 2009! Square-Enix just got finished saying that the FFVII Compilation isn't complete, and clearly, this is the final title. It's exactly what we've been waiting for, too! Wooo!

    Sounds like an April Fools joke to me, but we'll see.

    Oh yeah, this is definitely an April Fools joke. The FFXIII demo might've been believable, but the FFVII gave it away.

    Hahaha, the FF7 remake confirmation is definitely april fools, I won't believe shit today. The funny thing is though, is that Square-Enix themselves have said many months before this that there will in fact be a FF13 demo.

    An FFVII remake is inevitable but it's far too coincidental for the announcement to be made today.

      LOL, how would that work? Without a blu-ray player, it is a glorified media hub. Unless it had BC, it could only play DLed games ;;;

      April Fools rumors make me unhappy, because some stuff you hear would be nice -_-
