Hey everyone,

PlayStation 3 fansite, PlayStation Lifestyle recently reported on some “exclusive inside info” regarding the next installment in the Final Fantasy VII franchise.

The website claims that Square Enix has confirmed a Final Fantasy VII title for the PlayStation 3 console, unfortunately they didn’t have anything in the ways of specifics so it’s unclear as to whether or not they are talking about the final installment in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII; or the rumoured remake of Final Fantasy VII on PlayStation 3.

PlayStation Lifestyle continued to say that the original game, Final Fantasy VII will be released for download on the PlayStation Network later this year. What I will say on the matter is, why would Square Enix talk to a relatively unknown gaming blog like PlayStation Lifestyle; furthermore “exclusive inside sources” usually translates to “my own imagination“.

If you’ve been following news on the Final Fantasy front, then you’ll know that Square Enix are saving a big PlayStation 3 announcement for the DKΣ3713 Party (though this website claims the announcement will be made public at the Tokyo Game Show); so there could well be some truth in it - especially since Square Enix have already said the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII isn’t over. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Final Fantasy VII did come to the PlayStation Network; because it’s an obvious move on Square Enix’s behalf.
