Final Fantasy VII PC Port Accidentally Goes Live

Games - Games

Gamers who managed to catch the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII go live this past weekend were met with crippling disappointment when they discovered their purchased copies of the game were not actually playable. In a test for the actual launch, FFVII accidentally went live and enthusiastic fans threw their money at Square Enix in true Fry-fashion.

To account for this mistake, Square Enix is offering refunds and free copies of Final Fantasy VII to those who purchased it during the window. Looks like jumping the gun paid off.

Speaking with Kotaku, Square Enix provided this statement:

"This weekend, our teams were testing the product website for the upcoming relaunch of Final Fantasy VII on PC. While the website was being tested in its live state, a small number of people were able to purchase a pre-release build of the game. For those customers, Square Enix will be offering full refunds for the purchases and for their inconvenience, a free version of the classic Final Fantasy VII on PC when it is launched.

"We want to thank our community for their continued support and excitement regarding the upcoming rerelease of Final Fantasy VII. We will have more information to share about the launch of this anticipated title shortly."
