I remember BEFORE the original game came out a friend deliberately said "Oh I can't wait until ***** dies". He then said "Oh I thought you'd knew"... Yes because clearly I would go out of my way to spoil what nearly everyone was saying will be one of the greatest games of all time.

I eventually played the game on my birthday and played it solid for around a month, I had a spoiler free guide (not in how to beat the game, but how to find items you might miss and can't go back to later), then spent an age to get the Gold Chocobo so I could get Knights Of The Round summon before then going on to finally complete the game. I remember being 16 at the time and as the credits rolled thinking "This is the greatest game I've ever played". Although it still sucked knowing THE big spoiler beforehand.

To this day, with memories, it still is the greatest game I've ever played. But have not played it since the PS1 days, mostly due to the time it'll take to complete and also concerned it may not be as good as it once was for me. Still... tempted...

Spoiler Alert? :stuck_out_tongue:

You get the Midgar Theme too.

​Very jealous, in my opinion FFVII is the best. Loved the materia system, and the characters are likable. Unlike Squall who I hated (but again liked FFVIII).

There I was trying not to spend any money! Have some heat :sunglasses:

This is NOT the remake that is being released for PS4 sometime in the next decade. This is the original PS1 version that has been updated (much like the PC version).

If this was the Remake then this would be hotter than the sun lol.

1) Yeah i know its an old game but please remove the aeries spoiler, needs to be experianced first time around

2) Dont use the cheats, whats the point? may as well teleport to the end credits

3) amazing game if you have never played it

maybe a stupid question, is this the remake? I don't want to buy this and there is a better updated version due out. BTW loved this game

£4.91 from Canada but you don't get the theme, may have to bite!

This year!?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Keep dreaming. You'll be lucky if it makes 2019.

2x PS1 versions (first broke on disc 1 with the rocket launch attempt cutscene), 1x PC version, 1x Steam version, 1x PS3/Vita version and now 1x PS4 version. By the time all the remake episodes are released, this frickin' game would've cost me more than WoW did back in the day :disappointed:

I was unsure whether to buy this or not as I too have a massive backlog of games to go through... I know I never will, but the game, the music, everything about this is awesome... I decided to buy it. I won't be playing it tonight though, but might have a crack at the weekend.

One of the best games ever made. Heat! <3

Ok I figured it out had to restore the licenses. BTW the special movie included of the remake looks amazing I can't wait!

I know it's been out 20 years, but dude? Not cool :confused:. One of the most unbelievable shocks of my video game life when that happens, I hope no one on here hasn't played before or they'll miss out on that now......:smiley:

I'm going to wait for the PS4 remake whenever that comes. I bought this a while back for Vita on the PSN store for about £3.50 and then spent over 120 hours playing through it again doing literally everything including beating Ruby and Emerald weapon.

I loved this so much back in 1997 when I got it for Xmas on my PS1, I'd never played a game with such depth before. I was seeing a girl at the time and remember that she was whinging that she never saw me as I was always playing FF7, so I dumped her so I could play it even more. Happy times.

If you've never played this I envy you. Buy it now.

Does anyone know why the theme is still locked after I bought and installed the game?

X3 mode means you can complete it in a third of the time it would normally take on ps4 plus... come on - it's Final Fantasy 7!

I purchased this earlier and have spent most of the day playing it. There must be some weird character trait I have or something, as I have like a million backlog games (including a half completed FF 15) to play but I've decided to spend my afternoon playing a game I have already played fully to completion about 4 times. What a flipping game though! The "infinite limit break" thing kinda breaks what little challenge the game had but I love that there's gonna be loads of people trying to get Cloud on a date with Barret in the Gold Saucer to get the platinum Trophy!

Awesome! Maybe I'll finish it this time lol

Until the 22nd Feb at 23:59hrs. If I was to buy it, god knows when I'd play it because got too many games to complete at the moment. Great find tho OP. Fingers crossed for it to be free on PSN at some point in the near future

Anyone know how long it is on sale for?

It's brilliant mate! I've been a fan of the series since I first got it on PS1 back in the late 90s. In some ways it pales in comparison to today's games in terms of graphics etc, and it has an odd (but good) feel to it. Best advice is just to immerse yourself in it, take your time, and enjoy the game's charms.

I spent waaaay too much of my childhood doubling up on that basketball game... and waiting to be hit by a supernova. I wish the series had continued in the same vein.

Aeris' demise hit me way harder than bambi's mother...

Join the rest of us mugs that have bought this every time they release it on another format. Once more wont hurt :-p

wow is this the HD remake version

bargain

Final Attack Materia + Phoenix Summon Materia :wink:

Ha, I've been waiting for this to be on sale for months - and now it finally is, I'm hesitant to buy due to the rumors of a collection bundle on the way containing Final Fantasy I - IX! What to do.. :confused:

​Can this comment be removed. I've never played ff7 and I'm assuming that's a pretty damn big spoiler. unfair on the people that haven't played it.

It has been ages. Was just wondering about this the other as I quite fancy it. Generally I get bored well before the end, but I'll have it anyway, thanks OP

Aeris

Heat added there, a good find! Been keeping my eyes on it for a while.

On my first play through, I sold Ultima for nothing as I hadn't levelled it up yet and therefore couldn't use it. I learnt from that mistake :disappointed:

Great game that I loved as a kid,but will it stand up to playing now..... I dont think I have the time to find out! :laughing:

Hopefully the remake will be something special!

It's Aeristhththth

Ps4 final fantasy 7 remake release date should become clear this week cant wait

Nomura will be in attendance at the Monaco Anime Game International Conference (MAGIC).

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake director will attend the conference on February 18, where it's hoped he will announce the release date, or maybe showcase some new gameplay footage.

This is also on sale in the US/Canada store if anyone's interested... 7.99 Canadian dollars

I'll pass on this and just wait for the remake.

I tried several times, but just didn't enjoy VII.

Now, if they re-released VIII, I'd be there day one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyBensMp_MA

The amount of times I've rebought this game for X amount of consoles and computers, yet the last time i played it was mid 1998, makes me a bit sick.

I feel like it's not aged well though and I would kill the nostalgia if I actually play it.

Post-calipers (I stand corrected) :smiley:
That was just 2 months before I joined :disappointed:

​what about those who haven't played it? certain things should be learned playing the game and certain events lose their impact if you know it's coming

​Aeris dies?

The theme alone is worth £6.49 :laughing:

Must not buy just for theme... must resist!

No doubt I'll get to playing this for the millionth time...but I'm buying so I can get the theme lol

​I know, oooops haha, but most ppl should of played this if they wanted to, quality game, spent hundreds of hours on PS1 version, lost my data a few times too :neutral_face:

Exactly right. I've done the same :smiley:
Level 99 and grinding Gil is enough for anyone :man:

I was, but I didnt actually have a card/paypal attached to my account. Added PayPal and it's now showing the difference to pay :smiley:

Cheers!

Is it Aries or Aerith in this version?

Yes they stopped you having to pay in multiple of £5 a few years ago. Think they stoped it just after ps4 came out. Was really daft putting £10 in wallet for 2 £4 psp games.

Hot anyway at that price, but the Midgar theme is beyond lovely, especially when we are totally starved of any decent themes on PS4!

Some may not approve of the 'cheats' as they cheapen the original experience, but they do make the game less of a grind and accessible for everyone to enjoy, regardless of free time available.

I hope lots of new gamers give this a try :smiley:

Spoiler Alert? :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm.. seems to try charge me full amount. Doesn't take into account my wallet amount :/

awesome cheers!​

how do you get the cheats working?

Thanks, I usually just buy more topup but nothing else I need at moment :smiley:

INSTANT PURCHASE!

Question, I have £4-5 on my wallet, can I just pay difference on card/paypal?

If I didn't have this on the pc, would have taken up on this deal...bought ff8 yesterday from the 30th Square Enix anniversary sale for £5...

Worth noting this is part of a wider sale. The original Final Fantasy VII (PS3/Vita) is £3.99. Think I'll grab me some Final Fantasy VI, finally.

OK loved this the 1st time round, and it's my favourite FF game. however I'm sick of buying games then they become free psn+ games. does anyone know if square games ever become psn+ games?

Just finished Resident Evil 7 on madhouse difficulty and was going to buy Final Fantasy XV, but looks like I'll be playing VII again 1st :innocent:

Hot deal.
Remake is due sometime this year...

Any chance this will be included in the remake?
I have FF7 for Vita & PS3 already so I'll wait if so.

Thanks for this.

Is this any good? I have never played a FF title before.

SO tempted but i'll buy it never play and then buy it again when the next version is released.. but the game itself hasnt aged well, but at the time it was one of the most incredible games i ever played, it introduced me to JRPG's, if you havent played it its worth playing through it eps with these cheats..

Finally time to give it a try, never got to play it when I had ps1, looking forward to it. :smiley:

​Had that theme since release, Aries death is the music that plays, played for hours for platinum, my fave FF of them all!

No I've tried.

Can remember getting this release week on the Ps1 from the WH Smith in Henley. Playing this on the PC myself currently (as I've still never completed it) and is still great. Nowhere near as difficult as it seemed to me at the time.

That mixture of naive charm and the often bizarre Japanese humour and sensibilities. Brings back fond memories and reminds me occasionally of the later Zelda Ocarina of Time, particularly the music.

Good sale on at Square Enix for the digital PC titles currently (VII, VIII - £4.99 each etc).

Does anybody know If this version be able to import saves from the Vita version of ffvii? Cheers

Oh god damn it, looks like I'm buying FFVII again!

Any notable improvements over the ps1 game like better graphics, trophy support etc? Or is it basically just a ps1 game on ps4?

You get the Midgar Theme too.

I thought I already had this, but it turns out I only have the PS3/Vita version. Pretty annoyed that it never became full cross-buy.

First proper discount since it launched right? Been a long time coming.
