London (3rd June 2009) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces that FINAL FANTASY® VII will be available to download from the PlayStation®Store across PAL territories from Thursday, 4th June.

Get ready to return to Midgar. FINAL FANTASY VII, one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed Role Playing Games of all time, makes a long-awaited return this week, via digital download on the PlayStation®Store.

The original PS one® release has long been out-of-print and unavailable to a new generation of console owners and FINAL FANTASY fans. Now players will get another chance to own and experience the original adventure that brought us such memorable characters as Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart, Aerith Gainsborough, Barret Wallace, Vincent Valentine and the fearsome Sephiroth.

John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “FINAL FANTASY VII is the most highly-respected entry in the history of the FINAL FANTASY franchise, possessing possibly the most memorable storyline in the history of videogames. It brings me great pleasure to see FINAL FANTASY VII available to play once again and I am sure that it will create a whole new generation of fans.”

FINAL FANTASY VII is available in all PAL countries where the PlayStation®Store is available.
