Final Fantasy VII Now Available for Download

Hold your horses FFVII fans! This amazing PlayStation Store download is only available in Japan. Sorry to disappoint you there. But it's good to know, though, right?

The classic RPG that everyone loves (or hate??) can now be played in handheld form via the PSP, just in time for the Blu-ray release of Advent Children Complete. Final Fantasy VII for the PSP, or PS3, can be purchased for 1500 yen and is a hefty 1715MB download.

As an FF fan, I would dearly love to see this find its way in the US. Sadly, there are no such news yet. Xenogears was released in Japan too, but never made it here :(
