PS3 FFVII!?

[Elemmire]

They could've re-released it on the PS2 and again on the PS3, and people would still buy it.

The power of fanboys knows no bounds.

I want a Suikoden, SO1/2 and Xenogears remake =\

hell ya at the Xenogears RM!! except the guy that created it and most of hte team aren't with SE anymore and SE owns the rights to Xenogears I think so ya.. it'd be crappy prolly Suikoden weren't that great of games I think.. nice feature of building up your forces and whatnot but meh.. the fights were unchallenging at any time in the game and the story was "meh" to me

and lol@ the fanboy comment when so many here are just fanboys of another thing. (maybe not FFVII or FF in general but a few other games or a particular system.. *coughs*)

[Shaede]

Back on topic: Notice that Best Buy has taken down the pre-order.

Squeenix Says:
"We have confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII is in development, but have NOT confirmed an FF7 remake at any time. The remake has been a popular subject for rumors, but that's all they are. Obviously the Best Buy listing was made in error"

A FF VI remake would be awesome, seeing the Opera in true CG fashion would probably be amazing. Seriously, the Opera made FF VI for me, though the characters were great, doing the mini-sidequests for everyone's stories in the WoR was fun.

Screw a FF VII remake, the materia system was a hell of a good step up from Espers, true, but aside from that, it doesn't have many saving graces... and after seeing how SE catered to the fanboys with FF:AC, I can't imagine how they'd ruin FF VII even further, and don't want to try either.

ruin ff7? advent children is fucking amazing. if you didnt like it im sending you a medal for being the first person ANYWHERE to say so.

Why do people want remakes of old games so much? I liked FF7 too, but I wouldn't want to pay money for it so I could play it with better graphics. Seriously, who gives a shit about graphics? (I could make a snarky comment about how all the people who started out on FF7 were only attracted to it because of its shiny-at-the-time graphics and wouldn't know what made a good RPG if it bit them in the ass, but I won't say it)

Give me something original. Push the genre forward instead of using the relics of the past as a crutch. I loved those old games too, but they've already been made.

[Elcura]

I thought the graphics in FFVII were kinda crap (on field anyway, I didn't appreciate the style at the time), it was the in battle graphics that impressed me, as well as some of the FMVs, but you didn't see much of that.

I dunno why people like remakes, but for some reason I can't help but feel that some games NEED to be retold and people need to experience their greatness, I bet there's still alot of people who haven't played CT, I bet that game could do with a good remake, nothing 3D, just use some fucking awesome sprites, like at the same like as GG:X2 or Disgeaa (or any NIS game)

[Carbon]

I personally think a remake would be fabulous. I just played through it not too long ago, and there are so many things that are shitty about it (albeit I LOVE the game, don't get me wrong).

The translation is *horrid*. So many times they say the dumbest things. Also, voices would be nice, too, like in Grandia games.

Graphics, at the time, were phenominal, which is why it attracted a large population of people (and the fact it was the next, next gen FF game helped, too). Making it next gen yet again would be a largely added bonus.

Possibilities of expanding further/better on the story. It's SUPER hard, and still not really confirmed 100%, to actually figure out the story in its entirity.

I'm a game freak, so I'd pay the $50 for it.

[Rag]

FFVII is the best FF for the most of FF fans get over it and move on
Just becouse you like FFV or FFVI more than FVII doesnt mean everyone do (Im pretty sure ALOT of FFVII didnt play FF1-6 and started with FVII)

Anyway there was interview When FFX-2 got released and there was question to tetsuya nomura What game he would love to see gets a remake or part2 like ff X-2

He said FFVII with alot of other Square-enix programs and when got asked WHY FFVII? he said becouse its my fav FF! and tetsuya nomura is (Creater of FF charcters FF7-13+ff13 versues Expect 9 i believe)

So yeah FFVII is good if it sucks and you are a FF player then you sucks not the game lol

awesome, can't wait for the medal

Seriously, FF:AC had it moments (like Reno pistol whipping Rude by accident, pure comedy) but having Rufus alive... um, in 7's FMV, there is absolutely no way he could have avoided Weapon's attack on Midgar, you see the attack hit the very room Rufus is standing in.

I'm just glad they didn't somehow magically revive Aeris, keeping her as a spirit so to speak, I actually give kudos for that.

It's not so much that it ruined ff7, it's that the plot holes were poorly covered, if at all. But imo, the hype for it was way too overrated (I won't even start on the poor choices of voice actors for the NA version, but that was just a minor factor in my not caring for the movie)

[Elcura]

Only thing that really bugged me was the absolute lack of team mates and materia. I wouldn't have cared so much if they called it FFVII: Advent CLOUD.

But in anycase, it was a good movie, if only for the animation and graphics (much like Spirits Within was a good movie, but you just need to remove the FF stigma).

[djzombie]

absolute lack of team mates and materia.

huh? practically every character from ffvii was @ the big bahamut fight... and as for materia... there was a big box of materia(cloud's i assume) in the church(where tifa and the dude with the thing on his arm fought) which they took and used(thats pretty much how they summoned bahamut to begin with)

[Moochi]

Advent Children sucked cause there was nothing but action in it, boring action.

Was that supposed to be bahamut? It looks nothing like him. I just kinda assumed it was some random monster lol

It was Bahamut, and if you think that the random attack they all did on Bahamut was enough then so be it, I wanted to see my favourite characters do more then a couple of pokes, swings and throws.

As for materia, yes, we SAW materia (omg so observant) but in the end, the only thing that was used (half-assed) too was a summon materia that wasn't even red. I wanted to see more of my favourite materia (could've at least had cure/thunder/fire/ice). I also wanted to see some other characters do some limit breaks (APART FROM CLOUD). Could you imagine seeing All Creation, Doom to the Living, Final Heaven, Urgamax and Highwind? I wanted too at least see all, if not just one.

The only good limit break I saw was Blade Beam, even that butchered Omnislash was lame.

Tifa and Cloud never talked, nor did Cloud and Vincent it seems. Oh and there was no intro that explained things, right...

Really not a whole lot had to be explained about what happened, unless you didn't play much FF7.

For the number of fights that happened I think the amount of dialogue was pretty much similar to how the game would go.

And how could someone not like those fight scenes? They were amazing.

Also, Cure was used, in the Church.

[Elcura]

That didn't look like cure, no materia was present at the time, it looked more like the lifestream (although you could argue that it is cure essentially), still wasn't what I was looking for although it looked sweet.

RPGs are heavily story based. FF7 was an RPG. Advent Children was nothing but action and hardly no story. Then again, I don't like action movies cause you don't need you to think. Action is brainless.

EDIT: The best thing about the movie was the music I think. It was really good.

Actually RPGs are role playing games.. where you determine your role and play it yourself instead of having a linear storyline set out before you. Just because it has a battle system and level ups, does not mean the FF games are true RPGs. Too damn linear in storyline and character development. You are forced to play one type of set character in FF7, that isn't a RPG. There is no role playing, just you fighting battles and choosing chat options with NPCs that have very little to no effect on the direction of the story or the ending.

[Moochi]

RPGs are heavily story based.

This statement is still true.

And sorry, I should have written J-RPG. Happy?

[Elcura]

They are still RPGs, because the games are there to allow to you get into the roll of the character(s) you play as, although it's not so traditional when the main character talks. You could say that about most games, but most other genres don't go into detail about their characters.

Only true RPGs that japan releases are the ones that have silent protangonists (CT/CC/Suiko/etc).

Not really. It is just a game, plain and simple. Take the RP out of it. I have never done any roleplaying in any FF ever. Japanese my ass, the Ultima games were basically the first to do this, way before FF1 and Dragon Warrior were released. Ultima 1 for PC was a fake RPG as well.
