Aeris’ resurrection: FFVII-remake rumor alive once again
Ever since the early 2000s, this rumor has already been going around. Everyone and their orphan’s moogle-doll was talking about a possible remake of Final Fantasy VII. When the PS2 was released, who wouldn’t want their favorite FF title enhanced with the back-then-next-gen?
Another window opens and the PS3 is out. FFVII running on the Cell Processor, you ask? Well, there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, that are dreamt of in your philosophy. Especially with the 10th year anniversary of FFVII looming just ahead (January 31 – that’s tomorrow!), online forums have been ablaze again with this age-old rumor. Is Square really going to release a next-gen FFVII? Will they announce something during the anniversary?
Some of us have probably grown sick of this rumor (same thing goes with the bit about being able to resurrect Aeris), and a lot have speculated that the supposed “game in the works” would be using the Unreal Engine 3.
Regardless, the fact remains that most of us have been clamoring for a remake. Personally though, I’d take this with a grain of salt. Appealing though the idea is to me (let’s see them make a game with Advent Children graphics!), I’ll believe it when I see it. The rumor does get tiring after a while, but if Square Enix is going to make an announcement soon, all we can do for now is wait…
