Forums - Sales - Why isn't FF7 on XBLA? will it EVER be on there?

It's a PS1 game.
No, it will never go on XBLA.

This is like saying why isn't Indigo Prophecy on PSN?

Besides, FFVII is a one the most well known PSone games, I don't think 360-only users will be playing ths one.



VII = Sonys personal final fantasy franchise.



I got it on my PSP already, most fans of the game probably have either a PSP or a PS3 and have already downloaded it from PSN

Last time I checked..SONY has rights to FF7 - 10

FFVII

Only in America and Europe and only as far as retail goes...They might hold some sway in said regions for console retail releases I'm not sure...

This would not prevent the game from coming to XBLA in any legal way...

Edios published the Windows version....So technically MS already got FFVII....And now the Right revert back to SE

Further more a port of the Windows version can come the Xbox 360....

Square can release the game at retail In Japan on Xbox 360 and distribute to some other International places...

 

FFVIII

Sony Published the PAL version

Square teh Japan version

Square EA handled the NA version and since that merger has been dissoveled (Which was only a Publishing deal) Square has the NA Rights again

Edios again released the Windows  version so the same rules apply...SE get the rights to the windows versions...

 

FFIX

Japan: Square

EU:Infrogames

Square Eroupe handled the rest of UK and the Aussie version

No windows version

 

FFX

Japan: Square along with Int version

NA: Square EA

PAL: SCE Eroupe

 

So basically.....Sony has the right only in certain Regions and those right only strecth as far as retail for Consoles..

Since FFVII had a Windows version it is possible for it to appear on Xbox 360 via digital Download and no retail....

In conclusion...No SONY does not have the rights to anything related to FF...It only helped publish the game in certain Region and only on the PS brand....So basically for the most part Sony has control over the PS version of FF game from FFVII to FFX to a small extent...Sony would not be able to publish the games again with out SE's permisson...SE on the other hand can do what ever they want with the FF games fro VII to X....

FFX

Sony owns 8 percent of square enix.

There are a million ways to get classic Genesis/Megadrive games but they still sell great on XBLA.

I do recall hear Castlevania SOTN uses Playstation emulator. I doubt FF7 will be on XBLA but not for the reason you said.

If Microsoft wanted it really badly they probably could get it.



Cos 360 owners dont deserve GOOD games ;) all they deserve is FPS's ...
