FF7 came to the PS1 because Sony bought FF7.

They pumped in MASSIVE amounts of money for that game.

Wasn't that the deal where Sony gave them the building Squaresoft worked in? Or was that the bailout after Spirits Within?

Does anyone know if this is true? I was never a final fantasy fan nor did i own a ps1 at that time to know aht Sony was doing with their cash...I was saturn all the way :)

 FF7 was on three disks so let's assume it is around 2 gigs of data.  No matter what your compression technology was at the time 2 gigs was not fitting on a 64 cartridge.  I think that is why FF7 went to PS1 and perhaps some money was offered but not massive.
