There's something I dont get with World of Final Fantasy.. they said First on PS4/Vita, right ?

The trailer said first on PS4/Vita, then immediately after Boyes announced it was "console" exclusive as well. So presumably a PC version will be coming soon after the release, but no Xbox version.

Here's the footage right from the press conference:

Right at the end of the video it says, "Play it first on PS4 & PSVita 2016", and then right after that:
https://youtu.be/l815oOdR0oc?t=44m41s

The screen says "Console exclusive". So that's that, right Adam?

Kind of interesting that the FFVIIRemake had the same wording as "First on PS4", but no indication (at least not yet) of console exclusivity.

So if FFXII HD is real, which platforms will it be released on? I guess Sony Holy Trinity platform is a must (PS4/PS3/Legacy)

As a Vita owner, I shouldn't laugh about this, but I did.

I really want a Vita version of FFXII HD, I'd take it full price on day one even if it was digital only, but considering FFX/X-2 HD success and given that even a second-tier game like World of Final Fantasy is likely to get a physical release, I still keep my hopes up for a cart release

I wouldn't exclude a smartphone version, as I don't find the game too technically demanding.

Oh no, Verendus is banned? Is it temp or perm?

Slightly off-topic, I had a dream last night that FFVI Remake was announced at TGS and the developer was.....................From Software.

FFVI world, story, characters, etc...souls-type combat.

True, a mobile version is probable.

Everything was Souls! I'll never get sick of Souls-type combat.

PC is likely, plus I could see an iOS/Android version later on as well. Doesn't look too demanding.

As for VII Remake I'm guessing PS4/PC (with at least a few months exclusive to PS4). Similar to how the original VII was PS1/PC (even with timed PS1 exclusivity).

For the Remake though if it was just gonna be PC/PS4 they would have said console exclusive. I think it will just be a timed exclusive and eventually come to Xbone

If you want to play FF7r you should buy a PS4. PC is highly possible but I don't know about Xbox One.

Kagari said it might be like a Street Fighter V situation, although from what she and Nomura said they are only focusing on PS4, Kagari said like a two year wait for PC.
 
90% of the people here did not have the chance to know the true Square from the past. If you did you'd be disappointed with that line-up just as I am now.

Does anyone know for a fact that Sony is helping fund the remake of FFVII? I simple yes or no will suffice.

Consider how much money they poured into the original PS1 release. Backing a remake seems like a no-brainer on top of other things they're doing these days.
 
Just that they would consider it if people demanded it enough.

Oh that's right.

The old "well that doesn't tell us anything" vibe that always do unto me.

Edit: to clarify, I don't think Verendus *knows* that FF12 HD is happening, I think he's just extremely confident in his predicting of it happening. Hopefully he's right.

That would be the worst fucking thing, and would make absolutely no sense.
 
Oh, okay, lol. Why again would taking arguably the best RPG ever from a story perspective and mixing it with arguably the best RPG ever from a combat perspective make no sense?

For one, I don't agree with either of those assessments in the first place.

But also, how in this fantasy mash-up, would you integrate the slow, deliberate one-on-one combat with a game that's about an ensemble cast of 14 characters working together to save the world?

Yes, on the one hand, I would hate it because seriously, fuck the Souls-series combat. I don't enjoy it at all and honestly am baffled by its reception. But really, you're combining two completely different games which have completely different goals. It would never work.

If you said you wanted to combine say, Vagrant Story with Souls-esque combat in a remake, I could see that. Both are tough games that require a lot of the player beyond what a tutorial can ever really cover.

But FF6 is a pretty easy epic JRPG, and makes no sense at all to combine with a hardcore action game with some RPG elements.

I only wonder if it's technically possible porting FF XII to the Vita, given it's size and Vita gamecards are locked at ~3,5 GB iirc

Lol, what is this?

Maybe the people who are excited aren't living 20 years in the past and have already moved on? Nah, we must be young kids, who don't know the true glory of the SNES era~~~

Either some amazing compression or download only if that's the case. Anyone know how big the PS2 version is?

A FFXII remaster announcement would really make my day just as long as it's not for 3DS. I still can't believe they ported DQVIII for 3DS instead of making a HD remaster for consoles.

It's a fictional remake that I had a dream about...it can be whatever it wants to be, no?

My God, you're angry today.
 
Well it's Chrono's 20th anniversary (North American release) on August 22nd. Maybe....just maybe they are doing something for that as a reveal?

Yes..... I know it's not happening lol Still holding on to the dream.

I think it'll definitely be for PS platforms. It'll be weird to randomly put it on 3DS after X/X-2 got the HD treatment.

Indeed.

If the Virtual Console wasn't completely dead, I could see them doing a re-release there as an anniversary nod. But alas, I think the best we can hope for is that they acknowledge it at all.

Yeah, dreams are dreams. I think you phrasing "it can be whatever IT wants to be" being important regarding this. Sometimes dreams just do whatever they hell they want, and it doesn't seem logical or "realistic"(well, as logical and "realistic" many people claim dreams to be nowadays).

When FFX was announced(yeah, that one time when FFIX and FFXI were also announced), I had a dream that it was going to take place in the nation of Eocolis, and the world was composed on distant scattered islands that could only reach via Tidus, who had the power to transform into an airship(think FF version of Turbo Teen).
