I think we'll get our remake in 2017, when the FFVII 10-year compilation series is over...which will be in 2017...makes sense to me.
*fingers crossed*

Sony posted a 4 minute recap of the PSX keynote.
Seems they didnt think it was worth putting in any shots a certain announcement. Can you guess which?

Do you think S-E legit thinks that announcements like this make people happy?
Over 2000 posts. Seems people are really excited for the FFVII port. You did good SE, you did good.
Best troll in the history of video games.
Problem is, I'm worried it was not intentional and they really are just that naive.

Oooh, there you are, finally!!!
PLEASE tell us, is this the "remake" you where talking about? Did you know about this port? If so, have you been looking forward to our tears?
I need some kind of closure, some information. Do me the favor. I've always trusted you, now I'm not sure anymore.
Maybe you knew about the port last year already and you goal was to fool us into believing you about the "remake", so you could have your Knack army. Did I lose, having chosen "m) FFVII remake is announced"? Isn't it, technically, a remake, though just a really whack one?
Don't play games with our hearts. You should live up to your name, Verendus - the awe-inspiring.

First, to get the important part out of the way, you lost the avatar bet. And yes, I was aware of a port of the PC version coming, although I did not know that last year. That's a more recent thing I learnt of a couple months ago through necessity.Oooh, there you are, finally!!!

Indeed, every time this thread bumps up I get a smile on my face. Sorry guys

And no, this isn't what I referred to a year ago. I think that should be apparent considering what I've said in the past, but let's clarify here for the last time. Firstly, for a little clarification since I haven't said this before, but the FF7 project doesn't necessarily refer to just one game. The core of it will end up being a proper home console game and that's going to be the main thing, but it's basically a visit back to the FF7 world again, and there'll likely be a few things surrounding that. A large part of their discussion is likely surrounding this point.
It may not necessarily just be games, but I don't know what it could be either. It's far too early to say and most of this stuff is in early planning stages, so I have no idea about the details for most of it. Nor am I always in a position to know. And to be fair, I don't really care about the extra stuff whatever that ends up being since I don't exactly think the original Compilation was any good. I imagine Nomura needs to be freed up before they start making any real progress with some of this stuff, although he's no stranger to juggling various works. But considering he's busy with KH3 at the moment, that's why my best guess in regards to the development timeline would be for this to kick into gear sometime after KH3 is completed. I have mentioned this point before. This last part is my assumption though. Kitase and him are basically the key people for it all.
This is obviously ignoring the massive elephant in the room, but either way, FFXV and KH3 come first since they're the priority projects at the moment. After that is when any substantial work will begin to happen with the other stuff.
Problem is, I'm worried it was not intentional and they really are just that naive.
The decision to fund a DQ or an FF is not binary, but the pool of money is only so big. In other words, shelling out to fund a 7 remake versus allocating that money to a DQ/FF or a batch of mobile games, those are decisions limited by the money.You don't understand how any of this works, I'm afraid. The decision to fund a new Dragon Quest or a Final Fantasy remake is not a binary one. Dragon Quest is developed by Yuji Horii and his team; their work has nothing to do with what's going on in the Final Fantasy realm. The team to work on a FFVII remake would come from the FF side exclusively and would not have any impact on what Armor Project is doing, budget-wise, manpower-wise or otherwise.
Trouble is, all your arguments are coming just as much "from the heart" as mine allegedly are. You have no more grounds for your argument than I do, which is simple common sense and an observation of the widespread and persistent demand for a FFVII remake within and without the gaming community. You're saying "nuh uh, it won't sell that much." I say you're wrong. That's kind of it.
Also, you can't really think 3 generations are a long time in this space; surely you have more awareness of the gaming world than that. We're seeing remakes and remasters of games from around that span all the time, most of which don't have the cachet of FFVII. You can dismiss the importance, popularity and staying power of the game all you like, but again, you're wrong.

Revisiting FF 7 world with FF XV graphics, even if a different game, should be a dream come true.First, to get the important part out of the way, you lost the avatar bet.

I don't think the main game will be a 20th anniversary thing. FFXV, by the time it releases, will have around 4-5 years of development behind it not including pre-production. Granted, that's a special case, but they're not going to get something big out there that quickly when it's all at such an early stage. Not unless something drastically changes in how efficient they are, and very soon. I do imagine there'll be something from this overall project out there for that time though. That could be anything though. Maybe they do a novella, or some kind of small feature, or some kind of small spin-off, or whatever they think up.So is it a 20th anniversary thing then?
I don't think the home console game with that kind of investment will end up being a sequel or something. I do think that'll be the remake due to certain reasons, and that hasn't changed in recent times.Revisiting FF 7 world with FF XV graphics, even if a different game, should be a dream come true.
Crisis Core for PS4 confirmed.
Thanks Verendus
So maybe something small on the 20th anniversary along with the announcement of the remake? That sounds possible to me.I don't think the main game will be a 20th anniversary thing.

Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus remaster would be a nice way to milk things. Like a douple pack, and maybe add something to it. They can add it alongside the pile of FFX remaster, XII remaster, KH next gen remasters, and whatever other remasters they are inevitably planning. It's all a bit ridiculous really.Dirge of Cerberus remake
In the best case scenario, it sells as much as an FF mainline title. Maybe it sells a little more? Let's just go wild here and assume that it completely recaptures the nostalgia market. The buzz goes beyond the traditional FF fanbase and picks up many new customers who have heard the hype. Let's just say it sells 30% more than the usual mainline FF (which is a generous fantasy).
It still takes an AAA budget. It's a complete new game project because 0% of the original game is reuseable. Worse yet, it's a new game that is beholden to an old game design. You can't cut out anything - you are slavishly mandated to make an incredibly large game with today's demanding graphical standards. It would be a massive development. One of Square largest. It could be bigger than FFXV's development.
And then let's imagine that it could sell worse than a mainline FF game. It's not new mainstream hotness like it needs to be, it's just another port/remake that people outside a dedicated fanbase ignore as usual. It could go that way.
The point being: the financials don't mandate this game's existence. It's not a "make millions of dollars free" card. It's actually a recipie for a gigantic money sink that might make "ok" money back - at best. They could get lucky? But there are no guarantees of massive returns.
The reason to make this game is not because it prints money. It won't. You may want to make this for reasons of giving Square's flagship series prestige and to build the brand. Or you may want to do this instead of a mainline entry in order to make what is essntially a mainline entry with a built in audience.
But to all those saying "Square doesn't want money. Why are they so dumb" etc... they haven't thought this through. Making it would be a risk, not a cash-in.

I was talking more about a spin-off and not a direct sequel. Stuff like Crisis Core.I don't think the home console game with that kind of investment will end up being a sequel or something. I do think that'll be the remake due to certain reasons, and that hasn't changed in recent times.
