Famitsu Interview: Tales of Vesperia to Come to PlayStation 3?

In a new interview with Gouda Tsutomu and Higuchi Yoshito, who are working on Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360, they are asking whether the game will arrive on the PlayStation 3 or not. Higuchi Yoshito answered (warning: rough translation).

Q: PlayStation 3 is scheduled for release?
A: Higuchi's SHINFONIA, when the GameCube too specialized and because of the PlayStation 2 when transplanted to the lower frame rate, a considerable ingenuity. PlayStation 3 is a very sophisticated, so in that sense I think the same thing can be reproduced. However, it will be released, and what is not yet.

It seems he is trying to say the game will be coming out for the PlayStation 3, just a bit after it is released on the Xbox 360.

More Evidence of a PlayStation 3 Remake for Final Fantasy VII

The rumor doesn't stop, and it won't stop till Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 3 is actually announced. That is what we love about it. On a new post on James Mielke's blog, he pointed out a question in their Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII interview with Hajime Tabata.

1UP: Does Crisis Core mark the finale for the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII series?
Hajime Tabata: No, it does not. The Compilation's finale will take some other form.

All other compilation titles for the Final Fantasy VII series have already been announced and released. So what is left? A Final Fantasy VII remake is left. Think about it, so far they have released: Final Fantasy VII on PSone, Dirge of Cerberus on PS2, Crisis Core (this month) on PSP, Advent Children on Blu-Ray (2008) and Before Crisis on the mobile phone. That PlayStation 3 is next in the system line-up.
