Square Enix stock price:

Haha

Fantastic

 

[megarockexe]

It is real.

 

[Kazer]

Oh shit, I just realized we never got our FF12 HD >_>.

Square conference in the morning!

 

[Shadow780]

I was in theater, I was in heaven, I can die happily now.

HUGS EVERYONEEEEEEEEEE

 

[LogicStep]

I still can't believe it's happening.

 

[Reset]

Turn it in to an action rpg.

 

[jett]

I really didn't believe this was going to be true. Wow.

Seems Squeenix found something to put Kitase/Nomura/Nojima on, lol. I expect this to be turned into Final Fantasy 19 ten years from now.

 

[GregLombardi]

So after rewatching the trailer...I am pretty sure their plan is to cover the entire main game and then a time period after it. I mean that is pretty clearly hinted at in the title...you are seeing parts of time that weren't covered in FF7.

 

[Tagg9]

So when should we expect this? 2025?

 

[Dark_castle]

Oh shit, I just realized we never got our FF12 HD >_>.

SE has its own conference this year. :O

 

[rokkerkory]

This is soooo awesome. I will get the best console version of course.

 

[ZangBa]

I feel like this will never actually release, and was only announced so people will like Square again. I want to be wrong tho.

 

[Caffeine]

will get for xbox one day 1

 

[erpg]

I'm afraid to go to sleep. I'll wake up tomorrow and all Sony will have announced is a new Killzone game and Uncharted.

 

[Kazuhira]

Happy birthday

Thanks!

Turn it in to an action rpg.

Pls no,you have XV and KH3 for that.

 

[Xpliskin]

HE KNEW

He fucking knew lol

This makes it legendary

 

[texhnolyze]

This seems cruel, teasing people with a CG trailer and hope without even a hint of a release year.

There'll be more info about this on SE's conference, right?

 

[damisa]

Any word yet on future platforms? Would get if it came to PC

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Still can't believe this happened. And it seems it'll be a high budget affair, but I'm not expecting it until 2017. Either way I'm hyped!

I'm wondering how Sony managed to secure this as a timed exclusive, and where are people getting this idea it'll come to PC and not Xbox One?

 

[SeZMehK]

Turn it in to an action rpg.

IMO it should stay turn based.

 

[loaf of bread]

How on earth did Sony not nab this as a console exclusive. Huge, missed opportunity. The costs for the game must be astronomical.

XB1 isn't confirmed yet. It could only be coming to PC as well after PS4.

 

[hullostranger]

FINALLY.

 

[dickroach]

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFVII Remake for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFVII Remake for One/PC or you can kiss your business goodbye.

ok, well between the Vita and PS3 versions X/X-2 HD sold 600,000. that's more than in the US.

[Kinsei]

I was in theater, I was in heaven, I can die happily now.

HUGS EVERYONEEEEEEEEEE

What was the reaction like? God I wish a theater near me was showing the conference.

 

[fargofallout]

I don't think this game can live up to the nostalgia people have for it. I enjoyed the game back in the day, but I've already played it, and I don't need to play it again. I'd rather Square spent their money on a new game, but I guess I'm in the extreme minority.

 

[Rflagg]

The wait will be crazy long, but day one.
I miss turn based jrpgs and yes the atb system in the original is still close enough imo.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

A one year exclusive would kill other platform sales.

 

[Furyous]

This E3 was megAton city.

No way to top this for years

I got you:

Extended Final Fantasy 8 remake with multiple endings, characters, and branching decisions. Toss in some Persona choose your own adventure fun and enjoy.

 

[Granadier]

YOU CYNICS CANNOT GET ME DOWN RIGHT NOW. IT'S FF7 REMAKE!!

BEST E3 MOMENT EVER.

I'm sitting atop Everest at this point. Those fuckers can come up here and try and knock my hype down, but it's not happening.

Does anyone have a VOD of the crowd reaction to this announcement?

Anyone?

 

[DC1]

Square Enix lost all self respect.
This will turn out a mess, they will do changes where they aren't necessary and make the game a shell of what it formerly was.

Mark my words, screenshot this. FF7 has so many things that won't fly in today's gaming standards.

Please explain or provide one example.
I want to do as you suggested, but I don't know which words to mark.

 

[Nzyme32]

Will grab the eventual PC version. Good shit

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Jesus Christ. This e3 blew my socks off. Can't believe it.

 

[muteki]

Just speechless.

I can't wait to catch a glimpse of PS4 Junon, or City of the Ancients, or Wutai, or.....

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I AM screaming!

I can't believe it's happening. WOW

 

[USC-fan]

I can't fucking wait. So fucking hype. My favorite ff by far.


I was yelling at my tv during the video.

 

[bananafactory]

Guys we did it, we got an FFVII remake

Stop bitching about a release date, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL

 

[soul]

Holy fucking shit. Waking up to this.

Amazing.

I'm somewhat glad it wasn't released for the PS3 back in the day as we all hoped. Now we'll enjoy it in glorious PS4 graphics.

 

[DrForester]

XB1 isn't confirmed yet. It could only be coming to PC as well after PS4.

I'm hoping for XB1, then there's a chance we'll get "Console timed exclusive" loophole on the PC version.

 

[Darknight]

Do you have the PS Saint gif where he is giving an xbox fan girl a religious Sony awakening? Love that one.

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

Square Enix competing with Kojima now. Best troll 7/7.

 

[XanaviF30]

Turn it in to an action rpg.

No.

 

[Finalow]

guys Aeris dies

 

[Raynes]

HE KNEW

I love how this gif has a whole new meaning now!

 

[Lt.Chips]

Hashimoto you sly old fox

HE MUST HAVE KNOWN A YEAR AGO. His laugh now makes total sense.

Played the world like a damn fiddle!!

 

[Dysun]

wow, its real. insanity

 

[MilesTeg]

Great announcement. Who knows when it will be done though. Kinda surprised SE is investing this kind of money in consoles after their recent history regarding mobile, plus FFXV hasn't even launched yet. So I'm happy about that I guess.

 

[Boss Man]

It's super exciting to see it finally happening. I'm looking forward to it...but

...I don't think Square Enix can make games like FF7 anymore. I'm afraid it's going to be FFX13 with Cloud Strife.

What people want is to play FF7 with modern graphics. I don't think Square Enix can do that. They haven't been able to do it since FFIX.

 

[Y2Kev]

I'm starting to think he was a Square employee who has a side job of serving crow.



HE KNEW.

Maybe a little.

 

[anaron]

There'll be more info about this on SE's conference, right?

the same company behind a 10 year developed final fantasy? lol

 

[RPGCrazied]

So when should we expect this? 2025?

If the other rumor is true that CyberConnect2 is doing it, could be out by 2017. We just don't know very much about the details yet.
