One year ago, news of a possible Steam release for Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII hit the web via RPGSite’s investigation into Steam registry files. Since then Square Enix has yet to announce anything official. Originally, the two games were ported from the PlayStation for the PC by Eidos, which would later become a part of Square Enix.

Today, Square Enix filed for domain “finalfantasyviipc.com” You can view the domain listing information here.

Maybe they will release a better version of the PC game.  They certainly won't be remaking VII with the current quick money spinning philosophy.
 
More likely they're just trying to replace the disc-based DRM with Steam-based DRM and failing at it (go figure). I doubt they're making any attempt at improving it.
 
All we can do is watch and wait then....in the mean time: Mod away!
 
If they do release it on Steam...brace yourselves.

Im failing to see what we should brace ourselves for? sorry for being thick, Im guessing meaning a surge of newcomers to this forum?
 
Or, more prosaically, maybe they're just protecting themselves from domain squatters / people peddling pirate versions (like our old chum Kula_Wende).
 
Hm, I don't know, I mean, I agree that they could have bought it just to own it and sit on it. However, that wouldn't explain why it has been updated various times since they purchased it, why they password protected it instead of just making it redirect to Square's site or just leaving it blank.

That is what he means.  Same as what has happened with the boom in noobs recently when the mods and this forum got reviewed.
 
Keep in mind that one out of hundred new people is gonna be useful and reasonable
you just need to flay the remaining 99 alive. easy.
 
Porting a game with such engines as FF7 or FF8 PC into the Source Engine would totally break it. They would need to rewrite it. Would they? No. They'd rather spend money on shitty sequels (which don't even take the fan's opinion on it) and throw away the good old REAL Final Fantasies.

Very true

After reading what you have said here about sequels in the Final Fantasy VII Compilation, Vgr, could you further comment as to why so many fans of these sequels express their contentment on deviant art's website?

Because the users of DeviantArt have always been a bunch of bland generic teenagers with bland generic teenaged opinions.

....you....I....Where did you get the impression that FF VII, FF VIII, and the Source Engine had absolutely ANYTHING to do with the games being on the Steam servers, and the domain name being registered.
