Prior to any announcement at all, Sony has updated the Japanese and Chinese PlayStation Network with Final Fantasy 7 International. Square-Enix’s classic RPG can now be bought for ¥1500, or $15.

The International version of the game is the same version we saw in the original North American release, which had graphical fixes and an extra cut scene that were not included in the initial Japanese version.

There is no word about if the title will be coming to North America or Europe.

is getting more and more awesome by the minute, as Sony announced that Sackboy versions of Solid Snake and Sephiroth will make appearances in the game. The company also noted that levels made in the ongoing beta will be playable after the game’s October 21 release.

As you can see from the screenshot above, the MGS4 hero and the FF7 villain have been transformed into cute sack figures. It’s kinda unnerving to see a smiling, cute Sephiroth, but damn it’s still cool!

"To be involved with [Metal Gear Solid] is… slightly bizarre. When we were looking at what options as a studio we’d have to work with, they were under the ‘yeah, right!’ category of games," said Alex Evans, co-founder of developer Media Molecule.
