Fresh off the biggest trolling in video game history, Square Enix has announced that the upcoming PS4 port of Final Fantasy VII will cost sixteen dollars.


For comparison, that's about $1 more than your average digital title—or $4 less than Square's own newly-released Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris—and about 1/4 the price of a full retail game, which usually costs $60.

Final Fantasy VII is currently $12 on Steam and just $10 on the PlayStation Network for PS3, Vita, and PSP. This PS4 release will be a port of the Steam version.


Reasonable? Too expensive? I'll let you be the judge of that one. What's worrying me is that if Square is creating a new ecosystem for PS4 ports like this, we might never see PS1 Classics brought to the PlayStation 4, which would be a serious shame.
