PlayStation Mod Turns Console Into Final Fantasy VII Tribute
Spanish modder MakoMod is taking us back to the industrial city of Midgar with his console ode to Final Fantasy VII.
The seminal Square-Enix role-playing game appeared on the PlayStation in 1997, so it would only make sense for MakoMod to transform the Sony gaming machine into an incredible miniature of the game’s central setting.
Everything is gosh darn spot-on here. Heck, even a downer like Cloud would crack a smile at Mako’s work. The mini-FFVII Midgar has glowing lights that recreate the look of the town in-game, and you can even identify specific in-game locals like Aerith’s church and the train station, which was the opening scene to Final Fantasy VII.
Over at MakoMod’s blog and Facebook page, you can check out more pictures of their PSone Final Fantasy VII console, some that even detail its entire assembly. Really shows how much great work went into this special mod. You can also find the other impressive console mods Mako has worked on in the past at his blog, too. Totally recommended.

Final Fantasy Ultimate Box goes from PSOne to PS3: All 13 games for $450
To mark 25 years of dungeon crawling (and soft-resetting), Square-Enix has packaged together all of its core Final Fantasy titles for this elaborate fan-baiting package. Alongside discs for Final Fantasies I through XIII, the games-maker has packaged a numbered presentation plaque -- replete with new artwork from renowned character artist Yoshitaka Amano -- alongside a two-disc soundtrack and commemorative DVD. The price of a limited-edition slice of Final Fantasy heritage? A total of 35,000 gil yen, (around $450) will net you the compilation, which lands on December 18th. Japan residents can hit the source for preorder details, while global enthusiasts can read up on the full title (and format) breakdown -- there's no news of an international release just yet.

Of all the new features in firmware version 1.80 we're pretty sure that the ability to play PSOne classics was fairly high on people's want-list. Well, the update is live, and with it a list of the titles available. There are nine on offer today for US Vita owners, which are: Arc the Lad, Cool Boarders 2, Final Fantasy VII, Hot Shots Golf 2, Jet Moto, Syphon Filter, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal 2 and Wild Arms, with hopefully more to follow. This is in stark contrast to what's available over the pond, as Kotaku points out, with over 100 titles hitting European shores from tomorrow -- somewhat of an imbalance. But, with Sony said to be targeting a younger crowd, maybe it's banking on some of them not remembering the PlayStation's golden age. Feature tour video after the break.

If you've been aching to wile away hundreds more hours replaying Final Fantasy classics on the go, then Sony Japan's got some good news for you. It's finally revealed that the ability to play those charming, if a little dated, PSOne titles will arrive on the PS Vita's next software update, version 1.80, later this summer. This little nugget was tucked away behind the news that a handful of PS2 titles, playable on all versions of the PS3, will launch in the Japanese PlayStation Store on July 25th. The first wave of titles include Biohazard Code: Veronica, Siren and Dragon Force, all priced between 800 and 1,200 yen. No news yet, however, on when (or if) a similar retro-gaming bounty will arrive outside of Japan.
