With the announcement and development of the '' Compilation of Final Fantasy VII '' , speculation spread that an enhanced remake of the original '' Final Fantasy VII '' would be released for the PlayStation 3 . This conjecture was sparked at the 2005 E3 convention by the release of a video featuring the opening sequence of '' Final Fantasy VII '' recreated using the PlayStation 3 's graphical capabilities . Throughout the lifespan of the PS3 , SquareEnix stated that such a game was not in development . A high definition remake was eventually announced at E3 2015 for the PlayStation 4 . The game will be more than a high definition remaster , with director Nomura stating that the game will have changes made to its story and combat system .
