I have some news on this.

Apparantly Square-Enix listens to its fan base. Final Fantasy VII is indeed making a return, but not in the way you were expecting. As of now Squaresoft is planning on re-releasing the original PSone Final Fantasy VII on the Playstation 2. No details have been given whether the game will feature any new content or upgrade in graphics and gameplay. We do know, however, that Square-Enix hopes to include a bonus DVD featuring the hour long CG movie dubbed Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

A summer 2004 release date has been set for this highly anticipated title.
No word yet on an english translation, but I really don't think I want to see this in English since I'm sure it might contain some horrible voice acting. I prefer to read sub-titles.
I wish this was released on the big screen though. This would have generated some extremely high box office sales. Although the DVD will sell millions I still would have loved to see all this action on the big screen.
