Final Fantasy VII PC released early, then pulled

4.7
Yes, it is possible for a game to be considered "released early" in 2012 even after having been originally made in 1997. The new PC version of Final Fantasy VII showed up for sale on the website last night, according to reports on the forums.

The problem is that the downloaded copies don't work yet. The automatic license activation (through the SecuROM DRM) failed for those who bought it, and manual serial number entry also didn't work.

If that's how it is for early purchasers, it's probably a good idea that Square Enix pulled the apparently erroneous purchase links. The total price attached to these early sales was $12.70, so expect that to be the price when it's ready for prime time.

I think so D:

I've played most of them, back on my really old consoles. I was going to pick up one of the newer ones on the 360 but it didn't look like it was going to be a similar experience.


o.o are they any good plays? might want to torrent some if i can.

Final fantasy has absolutely NOTHING to do with COD.

It's a different game and a completely different genre.


Lol.
