IF you played the Non Japanese copies of Final Fantasy VII then you are pretty much playing the original. When FFVII was brought outside Japan they added some extra that were not even included in the original copy of 7. The original game is intact just with added extra so what is the real point of the original is your basicly getting it + more. The same thing happens with Kingdom Hearts if you played KH1 the option bosses the ice titan and sephiroth were not even included in the original Japanese copy. They did an international version to pretty much include them plus 1 extra option boss but the original game is still intact if you do not bother to fight the optional bosses.

They're not including the original FFVII, it's the international one.

See : ・FINAL FANTASY VII INTERNATIONAL （PlayStation）ディスク枚数：4枚

It's indeed expensive, but yeah, if you're a final fantasy's fan, it's a good masterpiece to have. Trust me, it'll just be like MGS HD Konami Style (the one with headset), once all copies are sold (preorders), it'll just be a pain in the *** to get one, unless you're willing to pay x2 the price. And this time, it's Final Fantasy, so it might end up even worser.

That being said, mine is preordered, i won't do the same mistake twice (missed MGS, i won't miss this one!)

The interantion version is pretty much just like the american and eu copy. So i still do not see how that is a complant. The original Japanese copy has less in it. Like for example i do not beleave the option bosses present in the america/eu copy are even in the original. Most international copies do not do anything but add to the original and maybe give you the english translation. The only internation game iv seen with huge differnce in gameplay even is ff12 international. Complaining in anyway that your not getting the original copy of 7 is silly. When 7 and and 7 international are exactly the same. 7 internation just has a few extra like optional bosses. Several additions to gameplay and story were made for the game's North American release, such as easier exchange of materia, arrows highlighting exits on field screens, and an extra cutscene. The original game is still all intact basicly. Just because the call it international does not meen the origina game isnt intact or still included. Besides ff7 international is 4 disks rather then the original Japanese copy being 3.

As a rpg fan, i'm looking forward optional bosses when playing one, so yeah, they added bosses in the US/EU version of the game, then japanese complained and got an international version which is the same as ours, you're right.

That being said, having more bosses to beat in FFVII is better than just finishing the main story & call it over.

Exactly the original copy is all there just do not do any of the added content. I see no point in having the original then the original with added extra like probally the english translation of the game.
