Square's (now Square Enix) beloved PlayStation RPG Final Fantasy VII International is out on the Japanese PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 and PSP, Kotaku spotted.

Costing 1,500 Yen ($15), FF7 International is the Japanese localisation of the American version, which improved the original release with new cutscenes, additional graphics in some areas, a better spell management system, and polished and new battles.

There's absolutely no word of a release elsewhere, but if wishes were horses...

Too bad it was a clusterfuck of a game, entertaining to be sure, but so self-righteously convoluted that to this day nobody's gotten the plot quite right...

I'd rather see an update of 6 or 8, even 9, as opposed to 7. Or, now here's a thought, a new game altogether.

I would easily spend money on a PS3 if they came out with a remake of FFVII with better graphics and possible voice. I'm getting tired of what Squaresoft is coming out with now a days.

I don't see a reason why any FF after 6 needs a remake, they still hold their own very well, especially 9.

-Advent Children
-Before Crisis
-Crisis Core
-Dirge of Cerberus

Give it a rest already. I'd rather see it remade 10-15 years from now when it's almost but forgotten and we can truly appreciate it, and even then I'd probably still prefer the original.

I'd be amazed if we get this. The Japanese PSN store has a ton of Square titles from the PSX era that have English localizations (Xenogears and Front Mission 3 are the first two that come to mind), and neither of those have gone on the US/UK store, although I don't understand why the fuck not.

Sweet hopefully they'll bring it here (even though everyone owns it already). It would be cool to see Final Fantasy II & III (IV & VI) come too. Granted I still got all those on the PSX disks they were rereleased on and could play them anytime on ps3 already, it would be cool to see them come here and in 720p/1080p graphics.
