[QUOTE=Sephiroth1112]I heard a rumor about a FFVII coming to the PsP. Are they right? or are those Final Fantasy dorks pulling my leg? i mean i can understand that if they do make it for the PsP is would need like 4 discs but i can understand that considering all the music and areas that go into it. plus all the story line...

Not exactly. It would probably take two (maybe even one ) discs to put it on there. Remember: Ps1 discs are really low-tech nowadays. One PSP disc is probably, like, two Ps1's.

lol ok i see i didnt know that

Well, I agree that maybe we should let the masterpiece remain as it is, but then think about it.

There would be no Advent Children if they left it alone, no Before Crisis, no Crisis Core and I've heard a rumour floating around that the original game is gonna be re-done for the PS3.

Imagine that: The same great story and characters but with 3D un-pixeled graphics and actual voices rather than text boxes.

Tseng, Vincent and Sephiroth in CG'ed, non-pixeled form? Hell yes!

One disc only would be needed.
PSP disc = 1.8Gb approx
PS1 disc = 650Mb approx = 1/3 PSP disc approx

Therefore its approximately exactly 1 PSP disc. Add that to the fact that you can shrink the FMV sequences to the smaller screen, and it easily fits on one disc.

Nope, Square released a {confirmed} statement before PS3 was fully reported, saying that as long as the PlayStations are backwards compatible enough to play ps1-version, there will never be a remake. And guess what? The PS3 is backwards-compatible all the way to ps1, including FF7. So, no, no remake.

[Kyros]

FFVII is too overrated as it is and should never be remade for anything...

[sephiroth the dark angel]

why is it ppl queep making rumours like that can't they face the truth of ff7 was a good game but there will be no remake ppl get over it

[NGU]

I heard a rumour of FFVII going onto the PS3 as a remake so one would think same FFVII better graphics and that is the whole reason I think th PS series is better than the Xbox series

[boys from the dwarf]

why always FF7? their killing it!

[TheAbominatrix]

Because VII left the most open, and it's the fan favorite. The freakishly obsessed fan boys are as much at fault as SE.

[Anniexo]

No i don't think they should cus i've been told that PSP are S*&% so i'm not going to get one just to get a FF game they should just make it for the PS2

HELLZ YEAH MAN i totally agree.. that would be so kewl lol... think also if they did it for the PsP then you could have the game (with voices and CG'd chars) right in your pocket

I wouldnt mind a remake of FFVII for psp, at least I would have a game for it that I'd actually be bothered to finish.

Technically, its possible.

As for the whole "FFVII is being murdered! Leave it be!" well, I dont quite agree with this attitude. That's like saying a great painting shouldnt be put on show in an art gallery because everyone will just keep loving it. Why shouldnt new artists attempt to emulate the same thing? Or why cant I buy the tacky poster from the gift shop, frame it and pretend I own the original? Stupid analogy aside, I would have no problem if FFVII was ever rereleased.

[BlackWaltz]

A remake would be a bad idea. But i have been hoping from the day i got my psp that they would port it. It would be perfect, final fantasy VII anywhere i wanted! we can only hope (btw it would fit onto 1 umd i think, holds alot more than a cd

[Maxico]

FFVII could be coming to the psp, but not directly, like some of you think.

the ACTUAL story is this. anyone who has a PSP will be familiar with the word "firmware", which is like a version of the psp operating system.
now, because of "homebrew", sony have been battling to get ppl to update their firmaware, to stop it.
so, in their new version, not yet released, they are including a new service, whereby you can purchase and download off the net certain suitable titles fom psone and ps2, tweaked in order to be "emulated" so to speak on psp, ONE OF WHICH MAY BE FFVII.
Obviously, since the psp has 2 less shoulder buttons, and one less analog stick, only certain titles would be suitable for this, but FFVII is a possibility.

This ISNT a spoof, it is true. I follow psp matters and homebrew on psp very closely, so trust me. That may be what OP heard about, this rumour.
If they do, it will have very little to do with Square, as sony have the rights to release the games if they like (i believe)

First of all, Final Fantasy has an enourmous amount of pre-rendered backgrounds and FMV sequences that just arn't suited to downloads. Not only would it take a long time, but it would only fit on the largest of memory cards.

Also, Square would have to be involved in optimising the game for the PSP. I'm sure you've noticed that the PSP doesn't exactly run at TV resolution.

The rumours of Final Fantasy VII being available for emulation came from a mock up photoshop edit of a downloading interface on the PSP and therefore doesn't really mean anything.

Also, I don't know about other people. But I really don't feel like going through the game again. It was nice at the time, and as my first RPG had alot of new and unfamiliar content. But I don't think that it deserve the endless praise or the flogging from Square.
