The Daily Dose: Final Fantasy VII, Back to PC?

Final Fantasy VII has been rumoured to be making a return to the PC today, but it seems it could be something a little bit more than just the original game in this particular re-release.

A link from Google Cache was sent to Joystiq containing information on a website that had been recently registered under the domain name FinalFantasyVIIPC.com. Using a whois search reveals the site is owned by Square-Enix and is even registered under CEO Yoichi Wada's name. 

The site supposedly housed a wealth of information featuring a number of details that could possibly be taken as Micro-transactions, which would be offered alongside the game. Just a few of the things on offer could be achievements, cloud saves (hehe) and *spits on floor* a "character booster" allowing players to increase their HP, MP, XP and even receive items.

Cloud: "It's all good Sephy, I'll just boost up to be as awesome as you!"

Sephiroth: "Fml ..."

/rant I can't possibly understand why this would ever be a considered a good idea, especially for use in an RPG that bases such a large investment in the satisfaction of building your team. So that Cloud can then Omni-Slash a boss apart who is crucial to your emotional investment to the game. (You know the bit I mean.) Where is the tension in trying to beat a boss you can just face roll over... seriously. 

But now apparently today's generation of gamers need to be so spoon fed that at "the simple click of a button" you are left to "enjoy your adventure." What possible enjoyment could someone get by just sailing through a Final Fantasy game. Yes the story is incredible in FF7, but you may as well just go sit through a 'watch me play' of the entire game for all the enjoyment your going to get out of it. At least you won't have to pay the £7.99 they may be offering it at then. /endrant

Aside from this, it's the chance of seeing possible graphical mods being developed for FF7, that make it an incredibly exciting prospect. Players have been asking for a remake for a long time, and this could be the closest chance they get. Or... this could just be one elaborate hoax, what do you think?
