The same game at three prices — Loose, CIB, and Sealed on one ruler. The scale is logarithmic: each gridline step is 10×, so the distance between bars shows the size of the jump between tiers.

Why this title

Why collectors care

The cultural context, the production lineage, the place this artifact holds in its console's history.

inal Fantasy VII Remake is a 2020 action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 4. It is the first in a trilogy of games remaking Final Fantasy VII (1997), originally released for the PlayStation. An enhanced version, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, was released for PlayStation 5 and Windows in 2021, followed by ports for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S in 2026.

FFVII is the apex PS1 collector target alongside Suikoden II and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The black-label first print is structurally distinct from the Greatest Hits red-label reprint and the later Sony Platinum release. Cloud Strife's place in popular culture is now multi-generational — the FFVII Rebirth/Remake cycle has revived attention to the original boxed product.
