Square Enix has made new copies of the ps1 versions of FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX

I noticed this the other day and was wondering if anyone else did?

I went to EB games, hoping to find a used version of FF8 because my disc 2 was damaged and i couldn't get past the point where you go down memory lane with all your party members at Trabia Garden. (about my 10th time playing that game hehe) Ya i know, it was a long shot seeing how these games are rare.

And i found about four brand new versions of ffvii, ffviii and ffix. According to the EB Game managers, S-E has made copies of their games and sold them to various stores..(i've only seen them in EB game stores.). The content of the games are the same, however, the pictures on the disks have changed. They are greatest hits versions, with just writing on them instead of the pictures of their faces. (in the case of ff8).

I think it's a good idea by S-E..because it gives ppl who haven't played a chance to, or for those of us who have poor condition disks (mine resulted from lending them out too much ... >>) we can still get new ones.

Awwww sweet! I got to go stock up fast.

Damn. I clicked into this thread thinking that they remade VII, VIII, and IX. Not just re release them.

I believe hes telling the truth. If you look at Amazons top 100 best selling games, FF8 is like number 80. And that list includes 360, Wii, PS3, PS2, DS, etc. Thats not too shabby. http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=pd_ts_pg_4/103-4962413-4268660?ie=UTF8&pg=4Carmilla31

Yep. I decided to purchase ff8 while i still could...who knows when they'll stop printing them. But they just started up again not too long ago apparently. Making greatest hits and new copies of the games.

I saw Final Fantasy VIII in a top ten sales chart in a magazine (I think it was Game Informer) about six months ago. I think it's possible that they are still producing copies of those games. I don't believe they are making any more FFVIIs though, because they don't want to cut into the sales of the remake that's gonna be announced soon.

I don't have any proof that Squenix is remaking FFVII. But if you think about the fact that they suddenly start making all these new games and a movie based on FFVII, ten years after the original was released, it seems like a remake would be the next logical step. They know gamers want it, and they've already remade FFI - FFVI, and are currently working on Tactics.

This is my chance to get a copy of FF IX. Still haven't played that one yet.Bigred_Machine

FFIX hurt my brain in bad ways at the end. But, the graphics were awesome (at the time :)) and getting to the end was a fun experience.

Uh ya..it was at the EB Games in ottawa at the Carlingwood mall. I know they still have brand new FFIX games, but i don't know about FFVIII because the one i got was one of the last ones

It's BS. Just go to the website and do a search. Nothing for the PS1 shows up.Legendaryscmt

give me a break. that's the states website you're most likely looking at, and it was at the EB Games in Ottawa at the Carlingwood mall...they still HAVE ps1 games. Most of the EB Games i have found in the ottawa area, have ps1 games.

these games will always sell. i need to get ff7 backgaa0c85

Exactly, since S-E loves the money..wouldn't you think it's logical for them to keep printing them if there is a high demand for them? Honestly, i'm tired of ppl saying this is 'BS' (not u directly gaa) and it's not true just because they can't find it online...well the EB Games in ottawa don't have online sites, or are connected to the online sites. (i know i have to call and order stuff..not internet.) Jeepers. go check out amazon.com..u can still get brand new copies of the game for 20$. How do you think they get their's if they are so 'RARE' as u ppl say.

If you live in the ottawa area, check the EB Games there. I know they still have some..especially the one in Carlingwood mall, AND they can order them for you.
