Final Fantasy VII for the Nintendo 64

Please take your time and look at this old but rare pics of Final Fantasy VII for N64.

Early in the development of Final Fantasy VII, the game was originally planned for Nintendo's next-gen console, the Ultra 64 (later renamed the Nintendo 64). However, Square later took FFVII to Sony instead, since they were going with a compact disk-based medium for their then-upcoming PlayStation (all the better to store FMVs), as opposed to the clunky cartridges Nintendo was sticking with.

Citadel regular Tristan has graciously submitted scans from the Aussie mag Nintendo Magazine System that feature images from the original N64 demo for Final Fantasy VII. This demo is unique in that it featured 3D versions of Locke, Terra, and Shadow from the SNES title Final Fantasy VI (originally released outside of Japan as Final Fantasy III). Thanks for the scans, Tristan!

From the December 1995 issue of Nintendo Magazine System:



From the January 1996 issue of Nintendo Magazine System (highlighting added). FF6's ninja character Shadow can be clearly seen in these screenshots:



From the August 1996 issue of Nintendo Magazine System. Obviously, a lot had changed in the eight months since the previous magazine article:

It isn't FFVII

That is a demo they made to see how a FF would look on Nintendo 64

Please people read the article. We all know that it's not Final Fantasy 7 but if square didn't cross over to Sony this would of been Final Fantasy 7.FFKi11er

Not at all

They used characters from FFVI in that demo so they would have made some thing else as FFVII then.
