02/22/2008: "Final Fantasy VII... for the Famicom!"

GameSniped, a blog devoted to video game rarities, has posted an entry about a Chinese-produced version of Final Fantasy VII for the Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System. According to the author, this version of FFVII is "not a Sprite Hack, but a fully original game."

This 8-bit pirate version of FFVII contains six playable characters, a materia system similar to that in the original (official) game, no summons or limit breaks, and music ripped from FFII and FFIII. It's a lengthy article, complete with screenshots, and well worth checking out. For even more, see this entry at Cinnamon Pirate.

It sounds like it would be annoying to play and waste of time to any true FFVII fan.

I must not be a true fan then, since I'd love to have this cart in my collection. It's practically the Final Fantasy equivalent of Somari!

That's really cool. :D

One question though, why the Advent Children logo?

It does seem annoying since they had to cut so much of it out, but the old school feel of it makes me want to play it. The music though, sounds like it would get on your nerves since we are so use to the FFVII sounds.
