I've had horrible luck with CD-based emulation. Though that might be from my annoyance of ePSXe or w/e it was called back in the day.
Square Enix Registers Trademark For Final Fantasy VII’s Shinra Company
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/02/18...hinra-company/Square Enix keeps saying that a Final Fantasy VII remake is too big of a project to take on, but perhaps they’re doing something else with the Final Fantasy VII universe. A trademark for Shinra Company was registered in Japan.
Shinra Company was the power company in the world of Final Fantasy VII that also had a space division and the elite SOLDIER group. The trademark was registered for use with video games so we can cross out those nifty Shinra business card cases. Hmm… well Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII was centered on the Turks so maybe Square Enix is planning another spinoff?
More Final Fantasy's to be brought to PChttp://www.siliconera.com/2014/02/19...tasy-games-pc/Square Enix are interested in bringing future Final Fantasy games to PC, Final Fantasy series producer Yoshinori Kitase said in a talk with Eurogamer.
“Let’s not forget, when we developed the Final Fantasy 13 series, all three titles, at the early stages of development we were working on PC,” Kitase said.
“Then we had to port it to the consoles. As far as the technology is concerned, it would have been possible for us to make a PC version, but we decided against it for two reasons: we looked at the market situation and we didn’t think it would be a good idea, and also it would have involved lots of complex issues like security. So we decided not to do it this time around.”
However, Kitase added, Square Enix do see potential in the PC market for the future.
“But we see potential in it and there are lots of regions and countries where PC is very strong,” Kitase shared. “So in terms of our hope of being able to deliver our games to every single country in the world and to as many gamers as possible, yes, we would definitely be interested in pursuing that route in the future.”
It bears mentioning that both Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III use DirectX 11 for development. Both games are being developed at a quality higher than next-gen consoles are capable of, and then ported down to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which are capable of running DirectX 11 and use very similar architecture to PCs.
Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura, who is directing both games, has stated in the past that the company will consider bringing Final Fantasy XV to other hardware capable of running DirectX 11 as well. Once again, the possibility of Final Fantasy XV appearing on PC is looking very likely.

Not having to purchase a PS4 to enjoy next gen square titles would be amazing.

Always on DRM for single player titles? Ah yeah.
VII Remake Rumored to Already be in Productionhttp://www.dualshockers.com/2014/02/...-insider-says/There has been a lot of talk, in the past few years, about a possible remake of the massively popular JRPG Final Fantasy VII, but Square Enix always remained semi-silent on the issue, only dropping hints here and there. A few days ago Producer Yoshinori Kitase himself said that he’d love to do it, but “it would take a lot” for it to happen.
Recently industry insider Verendus, that is known to have very strong connections within the Japanese gaming industry, posted on NeoGAF mentioning that the project is happening:
Of course, as usual with this kind of leaks from insiders, we should take what is said with a sizable pinch of salt, but Verendus has a good track record with the information he receives from his sources, so Final Fantasy VII aficionados may not yet be able to uncork the champagne, but at least they can start filling the bucket with ice.It’s happening. He’s obviously not going to give any indication as such though so it hardly matters until they’re ready to announce something. His comments make sense. It’s a huge project that will take a lot of effort, and demand a lot from him personally, in order to ensure the end result is something satisfactory.

god no
If it gets me a modernized FFVII OST, I'm all for it. Can't wait for new Mining Town and Wutai.
Wall Market in HD.
The thing we all "want" but don't really need.
Or want. No thanks.
What does any Final Fantasy fan need at this point, that they can't get from plenty of other RPGs?
Plenty? I guess if you own a number of consoles and handhelds D:
Even then, we're not really having a drought, though remakes are in the force right now.
