weird Rumor...

[???]

they are making A final fantasy 7 game on psp but its final fantasy vii crisis core coming out this year

[Khaotic]

They should leave FF7 alone, unless they're remaking it on the Playstation 3, then its like an entire new game, graphics wise, and since everything would change with it besides storyline, it would be pretty good.

I'd buy it, if I had a PSP.

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)

wow gyaku never knew you watched all this soo much, but sad to tell YOUR WRONG!!!

There is a real game like many of you had said called Crisis Core and there is an official thread on eoff-FFVII section! not much info, but still is useful!!!

I honestly don't care the only thing I think they should do is remake FF7 for the PS3 but the only thing I would want if they did remake it for the Ps3 is enhanced graphics nothing else no tampering with the story line or changing the bosses or changing the fighting system just everything the way it was except enhanced graphics THAT WOULD BE SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

[klipkloper]

Geez cant they just leave FFVII alone!

i agree with u they should leave it alone but it would be pretty neat if they did do it for psp.

ps:ffvii is old and tierd of beeing famous

yeah, but i kind of want a remake with all the same stuff
ff XII fighting sucks and makes me want to die.....
i just want to see sephy in good graphed evil saying insaine stuff.
all he wants is to make his mother proud <3 <3
god he is so hot
so are you sephiroth the dark angel
id like stalk you but im too sick

[Slothy]

I would just like to point out that I wouldn't be surprised if many of those who are against an FFVII rerelease on the PSP were probably singing a different tune when it was all of the earlier FF's being released on the GBA (or in the case of FFIII, completely remade on the DS). I'm not saying they'll do it, because honestly, I don't see an FF7 rerelease happening anytime soon, but I fail to see how it would be a bad idea. It would make Square money, probably get the game into the hands of people who've never played it before, and give those of us who were there the first time around some nostalgia on the go. As was said earlier, if all the FFVII stuff they're puttingout bothers you, well, no one's forcing you to watch or play it. Instead of making a big fuss and whining about it, why don't you just ignore it and save us all the headache's of seeing people complain about Square ruining FFVII or that FFVII was overrated for the millionth time.

how have you proved me wrong here? I know about crisis core, but thats not the issue. Sony ARE (basically) MAKING A PSONE EMULATOR for psp. Therefore, certain games could indeed be emulated on such an emulator (duh) making FF7 possible.

PSONE emulator does not equal a PSP game. Crisis Core is an actual PSP game. FF7 for PSP would actually be an emulation (in the same way that you can emulate NES, SNES, Genesis and more on your PC)

Please don't say I'm wrong when you obviously don't really know what you are talking about.

I don't think you know what your talking about because it's not an emulator. The PSP is way too slow to EMULATE the PSX. If you watched the Sony press confrence, then you'll notice he ran a PSX game from the PSP and not an emulator.

The games may actually be emulated, but the PSP isn't actually emulating the PSX hardware. I'm curious on how there going to do this.

Exams over, Reply time!

Unless the PSP contains the original PS1 chip (which it doesn't) then EMULATION is the correct term for what they are doing.

PS2 contains a PS1 bios chip, which means it is NOT emulating a PS1, whereas the PSP does NOT contain a PS1 bios chip.

I did watch the press conference, and the emulator program and game are self-contained (like a self-extracting zip file). Therefore, he does not need to load up an emulator first.
