[YoRHa No.2 Type B]

My children's children will be able to play that unfinished product with hundred patches.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

It's Japanese development. They are not going to jump to PS5 as soon as it's released. I would not be surprised at all if the first two episodes were released on PS4 only with the PS5 out.

I would fully expect to see updated PS5 versions of the remake series.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Uh, yeah, this doesn't sound like an actual rumour to me. Sounds like the writer is just speculating based on their interpretation of a couple lines.

 

[Thorakai]

does square just make announcements based on what they find scribbled on the back of napkins right off to the side of the trash can?

 

[Inuhanyou]

That's 100% VG247 especulation, but when we're talking about Nomura everything is possible.

CC2 has a great track record of getting projects done to the best of their ability, even if i'm ignoring the barb about Nomura.

Same with Osaka team and KH3.

I get going stir crazy for info, but that's no reason to go full blown disingenious

 

[DarkLordMalik]

They already had a gameplay trailer more than a year ago though, one would hope that would indicate they are beyond target footage.

That trailer was smokes and mirrors and used animation work from FFXV.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Of course! Hahaha.

 

[Gunslinger]

Will this come out in our lifetime?

 

[jimmypython]

This thread is not news worthy and is misleading.

That being said, Square HAS TO STOP announcing games this early.

This would only work once (VersusXIII).

 

[AAMARMO]

It's Japanese development. They are not going to jump to PS5 as soon as it's released. I would not be surprised at all if the first two episodes were released on PS4 only with the PS5 out.

 

[Alienous]

While that's speculation, I'm banking on a Fall 2018 release for part 1

Will Kingdom Hearts 3 be ready by then? I doubt even that.

 

[Elios83]

This is just an interpretation of the interview already posted.
I guess we'll find out more about the project at E3.
But yeah SE has issues in developing modern RPGs with AAA production values.

 

[KHlover]

Announced LITERALLY half a decade too early if this turns out to be true lmao. Now I'm sad.

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

What in the actual fuck, Square?

What the...

 

[Flame Lord]

And thus the cycle continues...

 

[gosoxtim]

Hopefully they kick Nomura and give the project to Tabata otherwise we aren't getting it on PS4.

do you want rush game with bad combat syestm

 

[takriel]

Yeah, announce a game that is not even a game yet. Well done, morons.

 

[Turkoop]

Spoiler

Agent

will come out before FF VIIR

 

[Nintendoga]

Announced 2 years ago and now we're being told it might not happen for another 3 years at least....

 

[ScientificPizza]

When did square pivot to becoming a studio that spends a billion years on everything they make

They used to be prolific like not even that long ago

 

[Redx508]

 

[demu]

Terrible thread. That's just an interpretation of quotes we've already read.

 

[HMD]

Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck were they doing this whole time then?

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

Did anyone here expect otherwise? Or were your faculties clouded by the NeoGAF fan-service of the TLG/Shenmue/FFVII E3 presentation?

 

[Jonneh3003]

Announced LITERALLY half a decade too early if this turns out to be true lmao. Now I'm sad.

It isn't true, the game likely isn't coming any time soon but we have no reason to believe it's releasing on a next generation of consoles.

 

[KZXcellent]

As expected 90% of the people posting in here read the headline and nothing else. Nice one, OP. :V

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Announced 2 years ago and now we're being told it might not happen for another 3 years at least....

Episode one only. They never said all episodes will be for PS4.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Quite literally Final Fantasy Versus XIII all over again.

 

[Sesuadra]

2030 will the last episode be released

As expected 90% of the people posting in here read the headline and nothing else. Nice one, OP. :V

Pffff I read everything. I'm one of the 10%!

 

[BadWolf]

You guys should really read more than just the thread title lol.

This is just bogus speculation.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Its sad to think how much better SE would be if not for Nomura.

Hopefully they kick Nomura and give the project to Tabata otherwise we aren't getting it on PS4.

You guys are really stretching the boundaries of Nomura hate based on literally nothing. That Tabata wanking is especially irritating.

Can't we go a few seconds without intentionally going for director wars.

I really hope one of the mods closes this thread, its based on nothing but concern trolling, speculation and no rumor present. But to no surprise it doesn't stop anyone.

 

[Ridley327]

They already had a gameplay trailer more than a year ago though, one would hope that would indicate they are beyond target footage.

I mean, Versus XIII had the same deal going on and that didn't do the game much good.

I can't imagine this would take nearly as long, but offering up something that looks like gameplay is hardly the vote of confidence that it used to be.

 

[Twookie]

you cannot be fucking serious

this better be fake

 

[Jonneh3003]

Yeah, announce a game that is not even a game yet. Well done, morons.

They aren't morons, there is no evidence they haven't began production, the author of the article made a silly guess based on nothing.

 

[Cmerrill]

Square is a joke and this is why they're almost irrelevant now compared to their ps1/ps2 era.

Fucking disappointing as usual.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Terrible thread. That's just an interpretation of quotes we've already read.

Nobody's even reading it, anyway.

 

[Squire]

Not even outsourcing to CC2 and using UE4 can help them.

What a joke.

 

[Salty Rice]

But there is still a chance for 2017. Is it? IS IT?

 

[kadab]

So... what was this then?

 

[PikkonX]

The episodes thing sucks, but since we've already dealt with the grief of that announcement, I don't see what the big deal is. Chances are, we see part 1 by 2019. Either later that year, or the next is when I would expect to see the true next-gen console announcements/reveals. All parts will still launch on PS4, but will be much prettier on the PS5.

I'm probably far too optimistic in S-E, but I don't see why they can't get disc one / part 1 completed in 3-4 years if they go all in.

 

[franklyshankly]

So that trailer is the new Episode Duscae?

Can't wait to see version 3.0 of it!

 

[Calm Mind]

That trailer was smokes and mirrors and used animation work from FFXV.

Squenix played the city of E3 like a harp from Hell.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

E3 2015 was all flash no substance.

 

[Byvar]

From that same interview, posted yesterday on GAF:

In closing, Kitase hopes to show progress made on Final Fantasy VII Remake sometime this year. He thinks it would be nice if they could have it playable or a trailer for it at an event.

Looks to me like they're planning on having it playable at an event this year. I very much doubt that this isn't in full production.

 

[JayEH]

Nobody's even reading it, anyway.

it's fun seeing the fuck square and nomura comments pour in though.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

When did square pivot to becoming a studio that spends a billion years on everything they make

They used to be prolific like not even that long ago

They can still get games like World of Final Fantasy and the Lightning sequels out the door in reasonable timeframes. There is something specific about Kingdom Hearts and number series FF that makes them drag their feet for years...

 

[Devilgunman]

There is no rumour. This is straight up a "tale from my ass" from the writer. Stop panicking already.

 

[BobTheFork]

It's amazing that people still give a shit after all these years. Don't tempt that.

 

[Kremzeek]

Has to be the worst production pipeline in the industry.

agreed.

i don't see why i should get excited anymore about SE's game announcements, since they are so many YEARS (and even generations) away.

 

[Sesha]

The amount of speculation makes it read like a forum post. VG247 is maybe one or two steps above sites like Kdramastars in terms of reporting and article quality.
